 Evren Tekinoktay’s exhibition inspired by Prince is one of the best visual experiences I had this year. Her collage paintings are full of small hidden and secret detail which you only discover if you keep looking into them… The exhibition is open until Friday 9th April, IMO, Ny Carlsbergvej 9, Copenhagen.

The understanding of a muse is no longer just a silent woman with a beautiful appearance being the favorite motif for painter… The muses have become essential for the designers’ identity. Like Andy Warhol had Edie Sedwick in the 60s most designers are today connected to a stylish or cool person who gives them personality and branding with a real face and not just a model in a picture. Think about Henry Holland vs Agyness Deyn, Sienna Miller vs Mathew Williamson, Sofia Coppola vs Marc Jacobs, Scarlett Johansson vs Stella McCartney etc. It seems that all creators are craving for a huming inspiration source  - which indeed is much stronger than a glossy magazine!

There used to be a time where a diary was an essential tool in many people’s life. Nowadays it is replaced with Twitter, facebook or email archives… However, there is still something valuable in hardcopies. With this simple multiple diary you can easily keep track of your mode from the past without getting stressed! And the graphic is cool.

The portfolio of  Wendy Bevan keeps me inspired whenever I take a journey there!

She was born as Christa Päffgen in Cologne, grew up in West-Berlin. In the 50s she worked as a  model all over the world, with base in Paris. She also appeared in Federico Fellini’s ‘La Dolce Vita’ . In 1960 she gave birth to a child (Ari Boulogne, son of Alain Delon) and met Robert Zimmermann (probably better known as Bob Dylan). In the late 60s Nico moved to New York where she became an essential member of  the controversial Velvet underground band with roots in Andy Warhol’s famous ‘Factory’.

My first cd was Nirvana and I still love their music. This pic is great!!!

I have been quiet and busy for a while but I’ll be back now and this week is going to be really exciting as I am presenting my first collection for the Danish accessories brand becksöndergaard at the Gallery fair during the Danish Fashion Week. The whole concept and identity have been through a remarkable and tremendously exciting journey of development during the last 6 Months and with keywords as ‘Modern Provocateur’, ‘Neo Burlesque’ and ‘Graphic Minimalism’ I am very proud to show the result for the press, the costumers and any others who might be interested. Here comes just a small preview…much more will follow!

Art can be emotional, beautiful, provocating, strange, thoughtful etc. If I should describe Danish Nadia Plesner’s art with one word I would say: INTELLIGENT! Drawing attention to the insignificant content in our news stream such as advertising, reality programs, consume and meaningless information about Paris Hilton’s jail trip, Nadia has created a painting with the contrast of a Louis Vuitton bag and the catastrophe area Darfur. The piece called Dafurnica has created a worldwide public debate, however she is now fined by 5000 EUR for each day she is showing the painting!!! Where is the artistic freedom? Where is the freedom of speech?
