Having A Coke With You...

Having a coke with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona. Partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian. Partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for…

The Turkish Gypsy AKA The Çingene.

The Turkish Gypsy

  This is another video I posted not to long ago: A turkish gypsy or as the Turks call ‘Chingene’ (Çingene). From the back neighbourhoods of Constantinople  or most commonly known as Istanbul to an free hand drawn portrait. Inspired by the Turkish artist Remzi Tashkiran whom is an phenomenal artist in my opinion, portraying Turkish…

Who am you?.. who am I?

Who am you?.. who am I?

The question ‘who are you?’, I find to be offensive in many levels… though the question ‘who am I?’ is more on the emotional and personal side. How significant is the English language, a single word can change the whole perception and emotive of a sentence even though that single word has the same inclusive meaning.

Who am I? well thats a great question, a tough question. How on earth do you…

Fashion Background, The Von Traps And A Good Laugh!

Why Im Pursuing A Career in Fashion

I often get asked, ‘Why fashion?’ And every time I  reply, ‘Why not!?’ (Rhetorical, spotting the obvious). If you know me, you already know the answer but for those whom don’t, I was actually raised to a whole extended family of designers, tailors and manufacturers. So I guess I could say it runs in my blood, I was bound to be a fashion designer at birth.

My mother has a certificate in tailoring,…

Such as World War I, the Russian revolution, the tragedy of the ‘Unsinkable’ Titanic, the great…

Eat, Pray and love Arab Couture

Eat, Pray and love Arab Couture

The perception of our current society towards the etiquettes of the middle east revolves around with Muslim women dressed in Burqa’s/veils, living in harsh desert conditions and their deep connection to Islam. You’re probably thinking that Muslim people practicing Islam in the middle of nowhere are not even into Fashion. How is it possibly to be into fashion when their face or undergarment isn’t…

Was this His coming! I had hoped to see A scene of wondrous glory, as was told Of some great God who in a rain of gold Broke open bars and fell on Danae: Or a dread vision as when Semele Sickening for love and unappeased desire Prayed to see God's clear body, and the fire Caught her brown limbs and slew her utterly: With such glad dreams I sought this holy place, And now with wondering eyes and heart I stand Before this supreme mystery of Love: Some kneeling girl with passionless pale face, An angel with a lily in his hand, And over both the white wings of a Dove. FLORENCE.

What not to love about Thomas Mcdonell? He clearly has the charm, played a bad boy on a motorcyle, resembles Johnny Depp's personality, one time dressed up like Johnny depp, awkward like johnny depp, he's funny and he can sing... JACKPOT! But why is his career taking the toll??? Maybe his new tv series 'the hundred' would get him some good ratings and a important person in Hollywood will appreciate his acting.We shall wait and see... Best of luck Tom

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art— Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite, The moving waters at their priestlike task Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores, Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask Of snow upon the mountains and the moors— No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable, Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast, To feel for ever its soft fall and swell, Awake for ever in a sweet unrest, Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath, And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

John Keats ( to Fanning Braune)
