Mies’ temple for art. Or maybe architecture? Endlessness gets physical.

Like Anna before I fell in love with these simple and refined Minimarket wedges. In this case form really follows function and add up to a fantastic look in the end! Especially the new electric blue suede version of their SS10 collection jazzes up every outfit. Unfortunately we have to wait for them at least till February… So I stick to the Autumn/Winter version which has chelsea boot inspired elastic elements. Also here is no ugly hidden zipper and everything is just in it’s place.
There remains just one question: Red or black?

So what’s the collective message of these jeans commercials? Jeans incorporate SEX. It’s not about drugs nor about rock’n roll. No, presumably Mick Jagger and many other people squeeze themself into the skinnes just for being sexy. The reason might be found in the word “squeeze” or maybe more regarding the fact that jeans were originally workwear - the uniform of the free-spirited archetyp of men. In their history jeans were for the longest time the counter-example to the square pair of trousers: A symbol for youth, rebellion and this damn slinky i-don’t-care attitude, created by Marlon Brando and James Dean in the films of the fifties. Somehow the fashionable stretch jeans undermines this position by softening the roughness of the traditional denim. Isn’t this more appealing to women? We surely don’t have to await another metamorphose of our old friend for too long…
