Hand Me My Leather

It’s spring! Well sort of….there’s a bit of sun and I don’t need to wear gloves, hats and wooly scarves anymore. Anyway it means that normal people start wearing spring clothes: lighter fabrics, brighter colours, floral prints, etc.  But all I can think of is that I desperately, utterly, immediately need a pair of black leather shorts…….

I’m afraid that finding the right pair will be a “mission impossible”. I don’t want the “gay bar” type of shorts, they shouldn’t be too oversized and they should have the perfect fit. But I’m not going to give up! Look how great these shorts are!

Dedicated Followers of Fashion

In case you stay at home tonight, I recommend watching the next Dutch documentary,  called “Trendspotting Londen”. The documentary is about London as the capitol of streetstyle and shows new young fashion talents. Also interviews with fashion editors Suzy Menkes and HillaryAlexander, Louise Wilson (director of Central Saint Martins) and street fashion photographer Yvan Rodic (Face Hunter).

Rock Fashionista Fashion by Gestuz

One of my favorite clothing brands is the Danish label Gestuz. Since their start in 2007, I adore their clothes; simple but not plain, stylish but not too trendy, well made, perfect fit, etc. According to their website the Gestuz girl is a  “laid-back rock fashionista”:   

g0I sort of meet their description….ahum……., except the part about the sneakers, and replace the “sipping cocktails” with “drinking beer”…….

The Gestuz campaign photo’s are incredible good and could replace any fashion magazine photoshoot. Take look at them:
