H&M FALL/WINTER 2011

wow. this collection is amazing. i went to the h&m showroom the get a preview on the upcoming fall/winter collection and i was really surprised by the amount of beautiful accessories and special yet very wearable cuts. there's a lot of leather and fringes, a palette of browns, blues, bordeaux, mint greens and a few patterns. it's all really easy to combine. i guess you can just pick something, throw it on and look dressed. though i love that it's finally summer, i'm really looking forward to see this in stores (and of course get myself some of that sugar). take a look:

RANKIN FOR SWATCH

swatch sent us a really exciting press release for their recent swatch & art love story project, this time with london-based photographer rankin. i hate to admit it but i first got to know his work when i was watching germany's next topmodel. i didn't like heidi klum nor swatch at that point. but swatch really turned things around with the last couple of releases and my dislike for misses seal couldn't stop me from admiring rankin, so yes...i'm unexpectedly happy about this collaboration.
the collection is simple yet effective. each watch shows the body part, that most people claim to be their most beautiful – the human eye. or the iris, to be specific. it's one of the most fascinating, colourful and, as the fingerprint, unique things about the human body. and worn around your wrist certainly an eyecatcher.

the swatch art & love - rankin collection contains 8 gent original watches, 5 of them in a numbered set, limited to 777 copies.

STEVE MONO NOW AVAILABLE AT MAKING THINGS

simple, plain and useable. that's steve mono's collection of bags and small leather goods. the spanish designer got the idea and inspiration for his work from vintage books, photos and movies, showing business men in the 1950's and 60's. steve mono bags mirror the classy, timeless and very personal pieces from that time.

all bags are produced in a small manufacture and personally taken care of by the designer during every single step of the production process. we like that.

now available at making things in grüngasse 20, Zürich.
