Wundervoll
As pretty as couture lingerie can be, it’s an inexpensive foray into an impractical world. Trends sweep in and out, but, for the whole, lingerie stays frilly, lacey and visible below clothing, forcing women to mark a clear line between underwear (in it’s most literal sense) and lingerie. But the new line by Berlin designer, Matthias Jaschke is something else entirely. Grounded by clean lines, subtle detailing and minimalist fabrics, Wundervoll makes sexy, functional -as if it wasn’t already. There is an undertone of Betty Grable throughout, however it is cleverley subdued, keeping each piece modern and refined.

‘Blunt’, ‘edgy’ and ‘gritty’ are just some of the words that best define the artwork of Rita Gomes. Her pieces reflect internal thoughts, struggles and ideas that sometimes are just better left unsaid. She’s a young teenage ‘cool kid’ who has already worked with many established clients and is just starting to come into her element. Read more
The face is arguably the most captivating image in art because we instinctually stare at them. It’s interesting then that when artists such as Cengiz Bodur create images that are distinctly face like but lacking all facial features, they still hold our gaze. Read more
I remember the first time I saw a Mark Rothko piece at the Art Institute in Chicago. I’d only seen reproductions until that point, and I never understood why people considered the late painter so important. Read more

The latest project of former punk rock drummer Andreas Asingh from Copenhagen, I literally stumbled across Small through my participation at the By:Larm music conference in Oslo. As one of the many up-and-coming bands in Denmark, their sound is a cross between M83, Remote, and Giorgio Moroder; captivating and adventurous, and full of strong melodies.
