“Freunde von Freunden” (Friends Of Friends) Visit Bent Angelo Jensen

Who always wanted to know what the house of Bent Angelo Jensen looks like? We did. Now it’s possible. Because Freunde von Freunden has visited the extroverted designer of Herr von Eden at home.

We’re learning: Jensen has the best alcohol in the closet. Art on the wall. And, as expected, numerous suits in the closet, too.

Bent, are you originally from Hamburg?

No, I moved here. I have lived here now, with breaks, for 15 years. Two of those years I spent in Copenhagen. I began to feel like a real native of Hamburg since the second year of having been here. It was right after having spent christmas in Hamburg for the first time. Before that, I would always go home for the holidays.

More pictures, more questions and more answers at Freunde von Freunden.

Slope Djangos

The winter in Berlin is simply too sloppy for us. Not cold enough, not muddy enough, nothing. So we decided to order some futuristic-functional Health Goth clothes per express-delivery via Zalando, booked two first class tickets at German Wings to Austria and went straight from the fashion week in London to Schladming. Berlin was left behind. That’s it’s own fault.

When we arrived at the alpine pasture, we were welcomed with strange fire-happenings and dances by the locals, which we have never seen like this before. Enough of a reason for not taking off our sunglasses the entire trip.

After we had played enough hide and seek with grim faces at the mountain and it became fucking cold, we booked the next flight back to Berlin. At the airport they rightfully took away half of our clothes because we could have endangered the security on board.

Emasculated we were flying home.

To show some Balls: a Sign of Independence!

A dick was enough to make the fashion world freak: RICK OWENS - sent out his models with coats and tunics, which were cut out at the crouch or had a hole, on the runway.

Under the designs of the ‘prince of darkness’ the models wore nothing, therefore the viewers, and a few minutes later also for the rest of world, could spot some penises.

Rick Owens told the i:D magazine backstage, how it happened that he broke that taboo:

“I thought it was the most simple, primal gesture-and you know I love a simply tiny, little gesture that packs the wallop. Not many people can do that. I mean, it’s a straight world now. And it also, I think, says something about being independent. Who else can really get away with that kind of stuff? It’s a corporate world.”

To show some balls – apparently a sign of independence. Rick Owens is one of the few independent designers, since his label does not belong to a luxury-conglomerate like LVMH or PPR.

The last time, that Rick Owens was shocking the fashion world is not so long ago: In 2013 he sent out raging dancers on the runway.

Dandy Diary Fashion Week Opening Party – Photos

We have to apologize to all the guests of our DANDY DIARY FASHION WEEK OPENING PARTY, who did not find roofies, LSD, mescaline or ayhauasca in their glasses.

Still we hope that you unlucky birds had fun. For us,all of it was, a big pleasure:

When the German icon of the 68 youth movement – Rainer Langhans – spoke about the connections between the commune 1 and the internet. Or when the short statured actor Ulf handed out joints, which he has been rolling for days together with his wife Elke.

When the Berlin-based party legend Komet Bernhard danced so ecstatically to the psychedelic sounds of the band THE COSMIC DEAD, that one could have thought that he has lost it all the way. When the DJ Hugo Capablanca, who has always looked like has transported himself from the sixties to the years of 2000 via the help of a very potential hallucinogen, was spinning the vinyl plates so well, that even the alpacas in the basement started moving their fluffy backs to the rhythm of the music.

And all those 60s beauties - Wow, Wow, Wow - which all looked so amazingly enchanting, that Jagger, Richards and Hendrix would have been satisfied for sure if they would have crossed their way!

So, enjoy the pictures, also the ones that have suffered from the prude censorship of Instagram:

No-Go: Coat Slinging!

A few years ago, streetstyle-experts started wearing their jackets or coats around their shoulders, instead of putting their arms through their sleeves. The technical term for that is ‘coat slinging’.

Recently, the german newspaper BUNTE (!) reported about the styling-trend. ‘Coat slinging’ therefore officially became a ‘no-go’. So: dear friends with good taste, please stick your arms in your sleeves from now on.

Because a sleeve without an arm, is like Justin O’Shea without Veronika, like Cara Delevigne without eyebrows: somehow not complete.

In 2008, Scott Schuman (aka: The Sartorialist) has revealed the first case of ‘coat slinging’ on his blog, afterwards an epidemic broke out, from which the fashion-world still has not recovered.

It has been enough: put your jackets on properly again! Otherwise you appear like a gay fashion-journalist from 2010 (who would put his arms into sleeves nowadays)
