almost free... liberated souls

Hello there,

I'm so so soooo sorry for not having written anything for ages, but after all the school stuff I'm just so exhausted that I can't come up with something worth posting. I've been sketching a lot lately and of course I followed the Milan Fashion Week whenever I had the time to, but after that I immediately fall asleep...

My sewing machine is sleeping for quite a while now, since I haven't even sewed the cape, though it's only a few lines. I'm struggeling with myself to create a collumn about myself: who I am and where I want to go, due to many of you having "complained" about my blog being so impersonal. On the one hand I can totally understand that statement, but on the other hand is everything you see on my blog, everything I created and get inspired by, what I am. 

It's not only a passion for fashion, this is my soul and there is no plan B. 

I'm not one of these "Hollister"-wearing chicks that suddenly come up with the idea of becoming a fashion-designer because it's oh so hip. 

Fashion is freaking art and deserves to be treated like that.

Now coming to the photos...

Exactly! The shoulderpad is the one I introduced to you in the following posting:

http://beaute-noir.blogspot.com/2011/06/im-still-alive-you-know.html

BUT I added black artificial feathers to it, because it gave me the impression of something between a raven's wing beat and a human, a little Krabat inspired, I guess.

In hindsight I think it would've been cooler to have two shoulder pads, but anyway...

What do you think?

Night Lights & Books

Still working on the latest photos of the trial-shoot,
I paused to drive through the night together with my Mum a few days ago.
But unfortunately the photos aren't the only thing I need to work on, to do: 

reading reports...for school. 

I love the books I've chosen for the reports, but I hate wasting my time to write
why I chose them and how the characters develop throughout the book.

Hello there,

American Hysteria Preview

Hello there,

I'm so sorry to haven't posted for two days by now, but I just hadn't any time left to write a worthy posting, because of school. I really just finished my arts project, I have to hand in tomorrow, a few minutes ago. School only just started again and I'm drowning in work.

However, yesterday I worked on some of the Trial-shoot-photos (from 23:00-01:00 D:) and I have a little preview for you of what is coming in the next posting. The keywords are in the headline: 

AMERICAN HYSTERIA

It's the part of the shoot with the "American Top" I created. I hope you like the preview picture. I'd be happy to read your opinions in the comment section. :)

»With Sword And Soul«

Hello there,

thanks for all you lovely comments! They mean such a lot!

I think everyone of us knows these kind of people that try to make you feel bad with things they say and do, though you haven't done anything, never really spoke to them. It's sad what a boring life these people have. Years ago I asked myself why they behaved like that and I took a lot of this to heart. But the opposite is what everyone should react like. Today I'm smiling because they really think they matter to me, they think they have the power and place in my life to make me feel bad. Sorry girls, you don't... Nothing of what you say or do can hurt me.

"Don't worry about regret or guilt, 

'cause I never knew your name". 

Why do I write this, if I don't care, you ask?
Because I know that there are a lot of people out there that suffer from the shit these people say and do, and though they might not read it, the imagination of maybe showing at least one person that they're not alone with this is enough for me to write this.

Hope you like the next part of the trial-shooting!

The Beauty Of Venice II

Hello there,

here is the second part of the pictures I took in Venice. I've never seen any other city that magical. There is a special light in Venice that makes everything prettier a million times and though the city has a whole lot of history it seems so pure and innocent somehow, even in the darkest alleys...

Venice is magic, dreams and purity.
