Lederhosen Trachtenmoden Riehl

Munich tonight. A weekend dedicated to sausage and beer. Willing to live the Bavarian lifestyle to the full extent. Needless to say that I will hunt for an original pair of embroidered lederhosen.

Haxen & Bier

Bernhard Willhelm Spring/Summer 2007

The Dada weekend continues. And what is more German and Dada for a man to wear than lederhosen. Thanks to Bernhard this item has survived in our consciousness. The only question remaining is: what kind shall I wear?

Wooden Veneer Fight

Rodarte Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Bavarian balcony

Absolutely loved this collection. Carvings on planks as dresses. One cannot deny a certain resemblance to the traditional Bavarian balcony. Or the typical yet brutal wall systems Germans are so fond of. But yes, bad childhood memories can be transformed into renewed contexts of beauty.

Suggestion #7

Bauhaus architecture model

Living in a strictly square, cold and clinical concrete box is my idea of perfect architecture. Concrete walls, concrete floors. White furniture, steel kitchen. Emptiness and some flea market findings.

Forbidden Love II

I herewith declare the comeback of a fashion sin: the tribal T-shirt. Even unfashionable people don't wear it anymore. And that's our chance. Time for a statement. Time for late 90s German technowear. There is only one rule: It needs to be minimalist.

Rippchen mit Kraut

Marios Schwab, Prada & Christopher Kane Fall/Winter 2010

The dirndl has seemingly emancipated itself from the archaic heritage. Adapted and transformed into concepts of high-fashion. As German sausage myself, this tendency is highly appreciated, although I am still hoping for a comeback of the lederhosen.
