Dirty Paris...

2009-09-26T02:37:00.000-07:00

Hey, I was in Paris last week to do some research for Individuals and it was quite fun. Not as much as I hoped for but it was nice to be away from all the stress for a moment...I didn't take a lot of pictures since we were rushing trough the city all the time.But I had some time left to buy a fur coat, which I fell in love with the moment I saw it.

New start at Individuals for me...

2009-08-28T15:16:00.000-07:00

This week was an exciting one...It all started with a voicemail of one of my teacher I could still do my minor Individuals, so while I was driving home from my camp I got the news... Still in my shirt I went to bed in, I rushed to school to be able to join the introduction of the minor. Now one week after, we really got to learn the team and had diner tonight, which was nice.Next week we really

I was in desperate need of a necklace for tomorrow, my outfit will be all black so I need something to break it up...I bought 2,5m of chain and started to make something, my first idea was to use the rings but finally I ended up using two paperclips as a funny details...Very easy and cheap...

Upon landing his first major

Terry Rodgers...

2009-08-15T03:47:00.000-07:00

Rodgers geeft een eigen visie op de tijd waarin we leven. In een hyperrealistische stijl en met een opvallend barok kleurgebruik portretteert hij verontrustende familierelaties en een schijnbaar aantrekkelijke jonge jetset. De allereerste betovering van deze luxueuze schijnwereld verhult echter datgene waar het de schilder werkelijk om gaat: de spanning tussen verlangen en eenzaamheid.Tijdelijk

My work...

2009-08-13T08:17:00.000-07:00

Ik heb deze outfit gemaakt voor een opdracht van school, het is geinspireerd op oud-hollandse handwerktechnieken. De jas is van biologisch katoen en met de hand geverfd. Op de jas is een breisel vastgemaakt dat ik heb ontworpen op de breimachine. De broek is van een dunne biologische katoen.De hanger is van geknoopt nep-leer.De foto's heb ik zelf gemaakt met behulp van een

Ik besloten verder te gaan in het nederlands, aangezien 90% van de lezers nederlandstalig is... Wel zal ik de engelse versie van de tekst eronder blijven zetten voor de engelstalige lezers.De foto's zijn van Amber Gray Photography, ik ken haar werk uit meerdere tijdschriften en ik vind dat zij prachtige foto's maakt. Ik hou erg van de dromerige sfeer in de foto's, misschien omdat ik zelf ook een

Trend: Party like a rockstar!

2009-08-12T07:50:00.000-07:00

One of this fall's trends is from the '80's, the big pointy shoulders, the sequins, the black leather and even more leather...I think Balmain started this trend this time with their awesome jackets... correct me if I'm wrong.What do you think?

My favorite magazines

2009-08-12T06:41:00.000-07:00

My favorites of this time are the German 'Material Girl' and the UK based 'Lula'Lula can be bought at any good bookstore but Material Girl is just for German or online subscribers... Lula is not even a bad investment either, since they sell for up to 80$ at Ebay. They are allways sold out after a month, since it is a bi-annual magazine.Lula is my absolute #1, it has this dreamy vibe in the
