MAN IT FEEL LIKE ROLLIN' DICE

The Queen did it again: Last night Beyoncé released the long awaited video for 7/11 and it's amaze! Remember when we couldn't sleep for days after the release of her incredible self-titled album? Bey released all the songs and videos over night and it made the music industry stop and stare. 7/11 is completely different to Beyoncé's previous work and yet its simplicity and authenticity makes it even more genius. The track is featured by a homemade music video full of hotness, red cups and gorgeous real estate. We always expect a 'fashion-wow' from Sasha Fierce and we got it: School chic jumpers, lyrics sweatshirts from her online shop and stunning jewellery. Bey rocked one of this season's hottest trends: The padlock! But instead of rocking the hyped Chanel necklace, Beyonce went for Versace. We (Chanel enthusiasts) don't mind, it's still amazing!

She really is the most unbelievably talented artist of this century and all we have to do is press play and show the Queen our respect by working and twerking to this super dope track. Bow down! ;)

MOON BOOT x POOL MUNICH

MOON boots, weekends in Courchevel, cozy Christmas markets and the era of luxurious bold fashion - Do you guys remember this magical time? We used to watch Paris Hilton's The Simple Life in our Juicy Couture tracksuits while Tom Ford worked on Gucci's renaissance. Fashion is all about recreating and reinventing. The early 2000's were definitely epic and I feel like this fashion epoch is about to become legit again. First we hyped the 90's Clueless chic and now it's time to reestablish the street style of Kate Hudson, Sienna Miller and all the other unforgettable it-girls of the last decade.

Cambis Sharegh is not only one of the most epic and influential men in the game, he's also the new MOON BOOT collaborator. His store POOL is the guilty pleasure of Munich's fashion elite and an institution with shining reputation from Los Angeles to Tokyo. Last night Cambis and his team hosted a great launch party to celebrate the successful collaboration. The result is a worthy tribute to an amazing decade with a funky modern twist. The boots are available at POOL Munich, Maximilianstraße 11 (and online). Check them out guys! The limited footwear is surrounded by the new collections of Rick Owens, Balmain & co. Every wardrobe could use some verypoolish. ;) http://www.verypoolish.com/ 

Man of the hour: Cambis Sharegh, the models and the MOON BOOT x POOL
  Big Thank You to Cambis and Pete Hannewald, you guys are so wonderful, talented and inspiring! Cheers to the great party!

Have a fun weekend!

LET'S TALK SOUNDTRACK

Cinematography - The most complex and fascinating art in the world. Movies can take us to another world, change our opinions on the most serious topics or simply be the most entertaining thing ever. Whole generations are associated with classics like Clueless and The Godfather. Just think about the amount of time we spent on movies and TV shows - Weeks, months, years? And yet it's fully worth it. There are so many movies which influenced me growing up. I remember how Woody Allen's Match Point made me fall in love with Italian opera (and Matthew Goode obviously), while Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby made me officially proclaim DiCaprio one of the greatest actors of all time. What made this movie so breathtaking? The 100$ Bill?

The Great Gatsby features the most brilliant soundtrack of the century. The music feels so incredibly alive and inspiring. Contemporary artists managed to create a timeless effect using modern electronic beats and classic 1920s elements. Collaborating with Jay-Z for an adaptation of a Fitzgerald is probably the most genius concept ever. This was pure perfection, Baz Luhrmann made history. Hip Hop never was so rich and diverse - Rap is poetry and Jay-Z is the Shakespeare.

Are movies the greatest art of mankind? They combine fashion, music, architecture, life style and legendary performances. When it comes to genre and preferences, my taste couldn't be more diverse. What do you guys prefer? What are you super excited for this season? Let's be honest, we are all waiting for one special release... Fifty Shades of Grey

When? February 13, 2015
What? This century's most outrageous and controversial book is finally hitting the big screen. We've fantasised about this twisted romance for years now. E. L. James embodied the 21st century's dark twisted fantasy on over 500 pages. The magic of a book relies on the fact that there are no boundaries to our imagination. T. S. Eliot taught us that the novel doesn't exist without the reader. Thanks to those millions of readers Fifty Shades of Grey now became visual and we just can't wait for it. The movie was directed by art enthusiast and filmmaker Sam Taylor-Wood.

Why? Because Beyoncé's Haunted made this trailer an art piece, it's a match made in heaven. Bow Down! There is no better song for this plotline. Bey's powerful voice, the addictive beat, the multiperspectivity, the sensuality - Haunted is one of the best songs she's ever done.

The first trailer already featured a remix of the power couple's anthem Crazy in Love. Beyoncé collaborated with Boots, who is famous for co-writing and producing many songs from her incredibly successful self-titled album. Bey, you really are the one and only reigning queen! And as we all know, there is no classic without the epic soundtrack. The trailer gave me a Gatsby like déjà vu. What about the actors? Ian Somerhalder, Henry Cavill, Joseph Morgan - every hottie was considered to play the mysterious protagonist, but there is only one Christian. Honestly, I was not quite sure whether Jamie Dornan was the very best choice. But after those previews ... guess he probably really is. There is just something about him, he definitely has the Grey essence. On the other hand, Dakota Johnson is doubtlessly perfect, she's the innocent flower this recipe required so badly. Agent Provocateur (hopefully), modern luxury, private planes, designer suits, Beyoncé - everything indicates a highly tasteful and aesthetic film.
Stay tuned for Valentine's Day 2015 Ladies and Gentlemen. Is this movie going to change the image of VDay forever? I know if I'm haunting you, you must be haunting me ;)
Have a great weekend guys

ALEXANDERWANGxHM CELEB EDITION

"It's real, it's true, it's happening: ALEXANDER WANG is the new guest designer for H&M. Our beloved maître of minimalistic street couture is going to launch a collection for women and men in cooperation with the Swedish fashion company on November 6, 2014." That was the headline of my first AWxHM post. Months later we actually got our hands on the long awaited items from this year's most hyped collaboration. Our favourite celebs were lucky enough to get the pieces straight from the manufacture. They spent weeks teasing us with their super exclusive tops and leggings on Instagram and Facebook. Rihanna, Kseniya Sobchak, Elena Perminova... the fashion crew is just as obsessed with the items as we are! ;) So let's recap the best AWxHM looks. Who was the first? Who was the best? Which look made us actually buy the pieces?

Let's go back to... 07.09.2014: Rihanna wearing the cropped tube top and logo print leggings in NYC- The queen of extravaganza and 24/7 sexiness added a lot more hype to the collection. I love how she just stepped out, running around NYC like it's no big deal. It was a BIG deal! Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle and NYLON posted the pics and reached an insane amount of clicks within minutes. What about the look itself? Well, I will never understand the function of the taupe Gucci bag in this outfit. Seriously RiRi, what were you thinking? You could have at least picked a black Chanel. ;) All in all: A worthy and loud debut, thanks to one of the (hands-down) most influential women in 21st century fashion.

It seems like every girl in NYC is head over heels in love with the items. But AW has also a lot of support from the West Coast: Check out Fergie wearing the logo print dress with a Givenchy bag, Dior shades and heels from her own footwear line - This girl is G L A M O R O U S. (IG @fergie)

The Russian queen of AWxHM is definitely the stunning Elena Perminova. Her instagram is full of the desired pieces. Check out @elenaperminova (IG) wearing the amazing sunglasses on vacation with her husband and rocking the backpack while running errands in New York (2nd pic: with supermodel Maryna Linchuk).


Moscow for Wang
Kseniya Sobchak is known for being 'the first'. She was the first to wear Tom Ford for Gucci as a teenager and now she was the first to wear AW for H&M during her workout. Agnia Ditkovskite has a lot to be admired for. She's got the banging body, perfect husband (super beau Aleksey Chadov) and the logo print skirt and top combo. My all time favourite Russian beau and style icon Vlad Lisovets looks unbelievable wearing the collection. I'm so in love with his flawless sense of style. He's got the perfect look to pull the items off like a pro.

Keep your eyes open, there is barely an it-girl without an AW pic in her instagram grid. Alexander Wang for H&M - Believe the hype. ;) I wish you guys a beautiful weekend.

WORKOUT - ALEXANDER WANG x HM

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to my third and definitely not last Alexander Wang x H&M post. It was back in spring, during a hot Coachella party when Alexander Wang announced the most epic collaboration of 2014. The fashion world was over the moon! Our boy Alexander is one of the most influential designers in the game. Millions of fashionistas have been worshipping his incredible collections for years now. Quality has its value and an obsession like ours has quite a price. Did you ever questioned buying a plain 120$ AW tank top? We all did. But at the end of the day it's magically worth it. The signature AW silk blend t-shirt is the embodiment of 21st century luxury. I admire the simplicity of his pieces, the little details and sensational fabrics are worth every penny... Alexander Wang is just right up my alley! ;)

Alexander Wang x H&M in München / Munich Germany

I was waiting for this day for months. There will never be an Alexander Wang sale with lower prices. It was time to take the opportunity! ;) AW chose quite a trendy theme for his line: Sporty chic. The 'haute couture camping trip' Alex arranged is obviously not everyone's cup of tea. There is a lot of neoprene action going on and even the hyped beanie turned out to be one stiff nylon hat. But luckily the pieces I was waiting for were not a disappointment at all. I got a couple of sweaters, leggings and the lower version of the slip-on sneakers. Guess what my favourite item was? THE GLASSES! Those are officially the coolest sunglasses I've ever seen! I just had to get two. AW also treated his favourite (aka first) costumers to a free backpack and chair. I  have an Alexander Wang chair in my room now, I'm officially a hipster! LOL ;) I'll spent my evening admiring those beautiful pieces and playing dress-up. Alexander Wang made my week! H&M, thank you for being the emperor of high street fashion, thank you for your stunning collaborations and wonderful studio items. You guys are the best! Oh and here's my suggestion for the next H&M designer collection: Olivier Rousteing - Make it happen! ;)

Stay tuned for an upcoming lookbook and a celebrities in AWxHM round-up .

LIVING & LOVING THE SWISS LIFE

Happy Halloween Ladies & Gentlemen! I hope you guys had a fun and festive spooky night. I've spent a couple of days in Zurich and we had the best time ever. We celebrated a special occasion with some friends from all over the world. It was an amazing party weekend with guests from Moscow to Munich. Zurich has quite a reputation: Everybody wears gold Swiss watches, drinks hot Swiss chocolate in fancy cafes, everyone is living an incredibly luxurious dream full of money and gourmet cheese. It's obviously not that insane! ;) I had a very intense argument with a very handsome Swiss gentleman, he was furious when I claimed that Munich is the better place to live. I love my Muc and I always will #Home2.0. But Zurich definitely has its perks, there's a lot of sophistication, hidden luxury and so many Russians - Awesome! There's no good party without a little 'Na Zdorovye'. We enjoyed the beauty of the city, the mountains and the magic of the stunning sparkly lake. The food was absolutely brilliant and street style is too good to be true. On the other side the city itself is rather small. And those of you who are from a place like Moscow, will go HAM because of the early closing hours. But all in all, I'm very happy that we took the time to get away. Gotta love that Swiss life. ;)

Zurich is definitely a must-see full of charm and beauty. Last year we had a fantastic trip to Berlin, then there was Milan. I feel like a couple of days off can change your entire perspective on life, for a while at least. ;) There is so much to see, so many beautiful cities and fabulous people. Can't wait for our next weekend trip! ;)

Here are some of my favourite places in Zurich:

Hotel Baur Au Lac http://www.bauraulac.ch/ (& obviously their Michelin restaurant Le Pavillon)
