Spring where are you...

   When the airplane arrived at Berlin airport from Paris, people closed their coats immediately and screamed " Jesus, it is so freezing!" Yeah...it is Berlin...nothing really changes, but much colder. Paris feels like spring compare to this. Now I really wish I was still on the journey.

    The title originally should be " How could I survive from this cold- Chapter 2". But actually whatever how many layers you put on, you just couldn't survive. So I prefer changing some interesting title. Since I put the last look with my coat, I had realized I didn't take that much of my outwear looks in my general life. So I decided to take some my casual daily outwears recently instead of dramatic looks.  This big coat and the other one are my favorite during this winter, like I said, my way to against cold is wearing oversized 

outwear and so many layers of tights. This coat looks pretty "comic" style, a lot of people on the street said " It is so funny, you look just like a cartoon character!"  Yes I love reading comics, Taiyo Matsumoto is one of my favorite. This look is somehow inspired by the styles from his works. The inspiration not just come from any exact character, somehow the inspiration is how he drew these charaters. For example like the glasses hair accessories styles in" Tekkonkinkreet"(I love comic and animation version both) and outfit look from "No.5" Inoue Takehiko and him are the most stylish comic master artists in Japan from my opinion.(Mainly I mean their works.)  

    Whatever drawing or dressing, having a unique style is truly impressing.

The longest coat I have.

My pose looks like a problem character. But It is funny!

Seriously I couldn't feel my face at that moment, my tear dropped without any reason. I really hope the weather could become warmer.

"No.5"  , It is available to watch it on IPAD, the best app ever!

Poetic dream on your body.

   Since the beginning of this month I visited Milan-Firenze-Paris.  Men's Fashion weeks and Haute Couture made fashion atmosphere warmed up already.  And don't forget 2012 FW Fashion weeks will start next month! 

   Recently I read Pier Paolo Piccioli with Style.com's conversations during Haute Couture presentation, he said,"Fashion needs culture or it becomes empty." I can't agree more, all the designers' inspiration from different cultures and histories, especially classic cultures, which people still loves the most after year by year.  I think the best platform to present classic inspirations are Haute Couture collections.

  The new collections of Haute Couture for this season you can tell designers still stick on romantic and feminine elements, transparency, lace, embroidered...Nothing is new, but designers focus on the details more and more. Truly classic like Valentino, soft fairy like Elie saab, Royal elegance like Chanel, Glamour gothic like Givenchy, they find all have their way to continue and make them more extreme.These designs are not only clothes, but also like Jewellry- shinny, luxury and poetry.

  Just came back to Berlin from Paris this morning without sleep...I think I have to apologize my efficiency always being so slow when I go traveling to other cities. Sometime I wondered why my trips were so dramatic, always so many accidents!

Hibernating in Fashion

   Berlin is lovely, but not during winter. Too much humidity and too much rain, incredibly cold as always, everything just really drive people insane.  I guess when I took some looks with simple outfit, you might think the place where I live is very warm. But....don't forget, it is Berlin. Today taking pictures it felt so bitterly cold with the wind blowing at my face as I was taking pictures!

     No so many people anywhere to be seen, they must be hibernating until winter breaks, so with new life and fresh flowers the interesting people will come out to show off their clothes and vivid personalities. How to be survived from this cold weather but look elegant at the same time? For me, oversized coat with many layers woolen tights will be a good solution, but if you want to show off your style properly here, it is better to wait a little bit until spring comes. This is the exiting thing when you live in Berlin, the summers are very nice and not so much because of the bright sun (this is also always welcomed) but the people are full of energy and spend all their time outside drinking, talking and smiling. Im sure this summer I will do more traveling in europe, from Norway to Paris, London, Spain and a number of amazing places.

   Where Will you travel to this Spring or Summer? Tell me! Or suggestions for pictures with nice scenery?
