Recently, I took my Nudie Jeans back for a free repair, again. Part of their sustainability policy is to repair or replace of jeans if needed. Staying true to the heritage, the brand’s store is centered around a sewing machine. I bought these jeans in 2013. “Buy Better” to paraphrase Westwood. I paid 119 euros for one pair of jeans from the Scandanavian Ready to Wear label. I am not a fan of throw away clothing. There are cheaper jeans but I like purchasing pieces that last, more of an invest than buy.
Since that time they have become favorites returning them 3 times for a fast fixing. This time a worn hole in the pocket needed tending. A quick drop off at the counter, a collection number. The sales person told me to comeback in a week for pick up. It took a bit longer because the sewing machine broke down for several days.
My investment paid off over the years. I still get a return from wearing the jeans. The repair concept has been sold on my friends. They are considering buying pairs even if they cost more.
I plan on keeping these Nudie Jeans for a few more years. What happens when I cannot wear them any longer? Well, the company’s vintage jean trade in plan with a 20% discount offer for a new pair looks good.

Luxury brand Serapian invited me to their presentation during Milan Fashion Week. The setting impressed me. I wondered if a certain Hollywood actress would come down the marble stair case.
A quick look at the Serapian collection.
These are classic pieces that will be in style for a long time.
I love simple walks on the beach. The picturesque resort town of Usedom is a treasure for holiday goers. I go every year to unwind to detox.
High season can be busy but during March, April, May front row hotels are available at good prices.

Drones bring out the geek in me. As a kid who played with toy airplanes, drones are the high tech evolution. During IFA 2018 while on my to an appointment I happen to pass the DJI Drone stand. I stopped to get a video.
From Milan Fashion Week Sept 2018. Luxury outerwear Herno presented its new womenswear collection. I like color on a person, HA! I found the use of a wide palette refreshing. Stand out in elegant way.

Forgive the crazy review. When I arrived in Milan on Wednesday morning of Fashion Week the schedule went off the rails quickly.
The Byblos winter 2019 was suppose to be the 3rdshow of the day for me. A tad wind blown when I arrived to the location by press shuttle, I knew the brand but had no clue what to expect. Navigating through the crowds to get to the door I made my way to my seat in a white event area.
Creative Director Maniel Facchini was inspired the by the colors and science of Auroras Borealis according to the press release. Another aspect of the collection was the use of sustainable materials. Recycled bottles for accessories along with nylon made into outerwear looks are brands eco-friendly direction.
Moving from puffer jackets to skin tight dresses the brand is positioning itself as high end sportswear and streetwear for the bling set. Embellishments, geometrics prints, 3D projections were on full show.
Hockey knee pads, knee high boots, furry booties, and chunky sneakers rounded out the get noticed footwear.
With model Winnie Harlow strutting the catwalk , Byblos is chartering a new course, upping its profile. The brands flagship store on Via Montenapoleone opens this Spring.
My overall impression of the collection: all about youth, on the street.
