Everybody loves Red Wing
I went out for dinner with the German Red Wing/Filson/Master Smith crew (Agentur Treibstoff) during fashion week. I have a thing for the modern version of James Dean meets lumber jack.
My eyes are on these babies that I should probably aqcuire before winter is over. Though, right now it seems the show will never leave Berlin.
- and even though I don’t own a pair of Red Wings (yet!) I still convinced my friend Chris to buy a pair and defeat winter in Cph. I quote: “… killer boots man!”
I posted some photos from the opening of the Berlin RED WING store back in September. Here are some impressions from the stand at Bread & Butter.

- and Master Smith, Filson and Dukes

- and two Red Wing Shoes ambassadors (- and a Filson-branded dog)

Dress up on a Sunday
Berlin love handles
Last week I visited my friend Martin at HÜFTGOLD’s showroom – Hüftgold (“hip gold”) is German for love handles. Sweet! Much more charming than the Danish word “bollehåndtag” – which I won’t translate here.
When the labes was founded six years ago they focused on designing belts which manifested the name Hüftgold. Since then scarfs and casual jersey designs were added to the collection. Collaborations with artists result in the unique scarf prints.
I fell in love with the tasmanian devil scarf, the metal belt, the see-through t-shirt and a full-length jersey dress from the summer 2010 collection. Now longing even more for summer.
You can find their designs e.g at Berlin department store Galeries Lafayette and Berlin design retailer Berlinomat or visit their website for more information.


Indoor drive in cinema follow-up
On Monday at 19:00 film critic Bert Rebhandl talks to Phil Collins (the artist behind the indoor cinema) about his work, about the exhibition at Temporäre Kunsthalle and about the history of drive-in cinemas (in English).
After the talk DJ Barry Burns (Berlin/Glasgow) will play a theme he composed for the Auto-Kino! trailer followed by a set of “naive positivism” (which is apparently electro, italo and other danceable sounds) at Montags Bar.
Free admission!

Waking up
I love it when you re-discover songs you’d forgotten excisted. Had some long working days this week. Rage Against the Machine is for power supply!
This is now
Back on track !
First rave weekend in 2010 coming up. Seems like Berlin has come to life again after Christmas, New Years and Fashion Week. – or maybe I wasn’t ready rumble until now?
Giving high five to Jerome at Panorama on Sunday (10:00 – 14:00) is on my schedule. Besides that? – Spontanious decisions and hopefully less work than last weekend.
