Fashion is a most definitely a passion, however I love to inspire people. I love sharing things I have discovered. From London originally but brought up in Berlin, family in Marrakech and spend most of my life living out of a suitcase. Most people would despise the continuous nomadic behaviour, however I thrive on packing for a new adventure! Stay tuned as I post about 2-3 times a week giving you a taster on my exciting finds!

BLK DNM - Your own Personal wardrobe

Effortless styling 

Due to working for a denim brand for a year, I really appreciate good quality and simple fits. I haven't been able to find many brands, who incorporate cutting edge good fits with good pricing. Whilst walking around Soho the other day I walked into a store which defines the word ' Cool'  BLK DNM is a huge industrial looking space which includes simple fabrics into modern outfits. A very muted colour pallet outlines the space of nude, white, black and stone with the occasional bottle green.

If Johnny Cash had a shop this is what it would look like. Industrial, raw and simple.

 It takes items like the jersey T to another level. Stunning leather biker jackets, over sized white shirts, fitted suit jackets with a twist and simple washed denim create a staple wardrobe. I won't lie and tell you everything is for a dime, you are paying Soho prices, however nothing beats quality. A quality which is not really high street and not really high fashion so it meets right in the middle of the price pyramid. When I come to think of it though, for a jersey T shirt from somewhere like American Apparel you are paying at least 20 -25 dollars if not more. In BLK DNM you will pay 50 dollars for a jersey T, but one that doesn't pill, snag or tear after washing it twice.

The styling is that effortless cool trend which any supermodel sports. I had a particular eye on this maxi skirt which has 2 layers and floats as if you are ice skating on a catwalk.

This store is ideal if you are hip, trend focused and want to revamp your wardrobes with staple items.

This is a must visit When in New York

Your own, personal, wardrobe
someone to hear your prayers,
