Mode mit gut-fühl-Effekt

Das junge Münchener Modelabel ParYve entführt uns mit traumhafter Vintagemode und verspielten Designs zurück in die Zeit zwischen den 1940er und 1960er Jahren. Die sinnlichen Lieblingsstücke betonen gekonnt weibliche Formen und lassen die Leichtigkeit vergangener Zeit wieder in uns aufblühen.

Die Designs übertragen die Leichtigkeit vergangener Zeit und laden mit ihren Bonbonfarben zum Naschen ein ©ParYve

Zeitgenössisches verschmilzt mit Retro-Charme
Romantisch, verspielt und doch weiblich beschreibt die aktuelle Kollektion von Designerin Yvette Plitzner wohl am besten.  Mit ihrem Modelabel ParYve verschreibt sie sich sinnlich-nostalgischer Vintagemode und dem Gefühl, dass die Welt noch in Ordnung ist. Ihre Designs schlagen jedem kurzlebigen Trend ein Schnippchen und verzaubern durch die Verschmelzung von Zeitgenössischem und authentischem Retro-Charme.  Die potenziellen Lieblingsstücke werden allesamt in deutscher Handarbeit gefertigt und sind online und in ausgewählten Boutiquen erhältlich.

Die Mischung machts
Das Frühjahr 2013 steht ganz im Zeichen der 50er Jahre. Schwingende Kleider, weite Röcke und figurbetonte Blusen und Jacken erlauben es elegant und gleichzeitig verführerisch weiblich zu sein. Die Mischung aus Pastellfarben und knalligen Farbakzenten bringt eine gewisse Leichtigkeit mit sich und man möchte sich am liebsten in den weitschwingenden Kleidern drehen, um zu sehen wie schön der Rock herumwirbelt.  Die frischen Töne, angelehnt an ein Sommerpicknick, machen nicht nur Lust auf eine typische 50er Jahre Gartenparty mit Tee, sondern lassen das vergangene Lebensgefühl dieser Zeit wieder in einem aufleben und machen gute Laune. Man fühlt sich fast, als würde James Stewart  einen gleich in seinem Cadillac abholen und spürt geradezu die Beschwingtheit zu Zeiten des deutschen Wirtschaftswunders. Kurz gesagt: Die Mode lädt zum Träumen ein.

Living in a nutshell

My brother sends me pictures from time to time and makes me smile.. a few days ago I got this one and he inspired me to post it.. sometimes only small things can make you think about general questions.
Guess we are living all in a nutshell and can't even imagine how much more the world is.. how stunning, how faithful and breathtaking. So why don't we take a look over the edge and discover what is so beautiful? Make our own little world even brighter while spending some time to really enjoy being happy - just simply and purely satisfied with the things we have?
Really love his photography of all the little things in different perspectives! Take a look at his work and follow him on facebook to see what he is up to next..

Sneak peak of the fall/winter story..

"Skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony." These few words have a lot of meaning for our upcoming collection.
We just finished the photoshoot for the next collection, which is completely sewn in Germany. Some of you guys already had the chance to take a look at it and we are glad that you like it... for all others - be surprised! Some more pictures are waiting just around the bend!
The Brothers Grimm take part in our autumn winter collection with some fairytale styles!

Making of FW12

Today we want to share some making of pictures from our latest photoshoot with you.. It was so much fun and we had an amazing team again! Special thanks and kisses to Anja, my friend and beautiful ParYve model who is such a delightful person, Boris and Patrick who shoot the photos and take care about the light and my man who is always there whenever I might get lost within my thoughts...
We also had a beautiful white horse, which was so tamely and posed like a professional model in front of the cameras. Afterwards, we saw animals who told us stories and guided us deep into the forest until we found a magical place with birch trees and a hazing sunset.
Can't wait to show you the final results within next weeks!

Autumn Winter

Summer is here and we are at the final stage for our upcoming autumn winter collection.. It's a bit strange to develop winter clothing within summer month, but we want to share the first theme picture with you! Where might our inspiration come from?

Sky...

..shows his beautiful face with some raindrops up in the air. Nature is always inspiring no matter where you are - you just have to open your eyes...

That circle of light could be seen even without the camera lens

Accessories for the shoot

After a nice walk through  nature, we took the chance to search for some unique accessories for our winter collection shoot. Here is a sneak peak of the result..

thinking and talking concentrated about her shape and possibilities to take place on our pictures...

...got it & happy

Catch of the day! See you soon in action.

Restaurant Ocui

A few weeks ago I had a meeting with our button supplier here in Munich. It was one of the first sunny days this year and we discovered a nice restarurant right next to the Viktualienmarkt. It's called Ocui like "open cuisine". You can watch how they prepare your food and they use only fresh ingredients for it.. and look at the lights  - would be a great construction for my pattern table as well! Anybody out there who can build me one? 

coffee shop

We really have nice places here in Munich to just relax and drink a coffee with friends. One of the favorites is the Cafe Marais @ Parkstrasse 2. The amazing interieur is from an old haberdashery shop with many little drawers for buttons and yarns. You can still find some treasures in there, besides all the delicious cake variations...

today..

we had a nice breakfast enjoying two kissing "semmeln" and had our first sunbath afterwards
....ohhh sometimes sunday can be such a good day!

one for you and one for me

René Gruau

just have seen an article in the newspaper about this fashion exhibition these days in the BMW Museum. The great illustrations of René Gruau between some great old and historic cars which I would love to see on the streets again!
I know it's gonna be a long blog entry but I can't make a choice which one is the best to show... so here is a selection of my favorites:

My secret love - the Isetta

"1947 When, following the end of Worl War II, the metropolis on the Seine sees an explosion of enthusiasm for fashion and the art, it is above all Christian Dior who captures the interest of the public with his "New Look". René Gruau - who has been friendly with him for several years - becomes his illustrative "alter ego", from then on translating Dior fashion into drawings and designing the advertising for all Dior perfumes. Gruau is on friendly terms with almost all the great fashion designers of his time and has worked for Harper's Bazaar, Look, Flair, Esquire and Adam. His drawings are sought after throughout the luxury industrie. When in the mid-'sixties fashion photography starts to replace drawn illustration in the top fashion and women's magazines, Gruau is one of the few masters of his trade to continue working for Dior, Lido and various magazines."
