Peroxide Blonde from Siberia Sitting pretty in The ‘Abraham Blouse’ by Paula Immich
Woolgeorgette pants ‘Mon Géneral’ with satin strip on the side by Paula Immich, Shades by Mykita, doctor’s croc bag vintage, silk blouse with inserts by Paula Immich.
The Final ‘Abraham Blouse’
the final version of the Blouse has a concealed button panel to give the fabric some extra texture. I stuck to the contrasting inserts and collar of the first version.

Abraham Fabrics And Paula Immich
Vom 13. März 2013 bis zum 11. August 2013 zeigt das ModeMuseum Antwerp die Ausstellung “Silk & Prints From The Abraham Archive – Couture In Colour”.
Gustav Zumsteg, ein Lehrling Jakob Abrahams, dem Gründer des gleichnamigen Unternehmens, beeinflusste mit seinen Stoffentwürfen maßgeblich die größten Meister der Haute Couture ab den 1940er Jahren. Christian Dior, Hubert Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Balmain, Elsa Schiaparelli oder Cristóbal Balenciaga – sie alle arbeiteten intensiv mit Zumsteg zusammen und ließen seine Stoffentwürfe regelrecht in ihre Créationen miteinfließen.
Gustav Zumsteg was an apprentice of Jakob Abrahams, founder of Abraham Fabrics. With his designs he significantly influenced the most prestigious of couturiers in the 1940ties like Christian Dior, Hubert Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Pierre Balmain, Elsa Schiaparelli or Cristóbal Balenciaga.
Two samples from the Abraham Textile Archive Zurich. Below a detail from the fabric of the ‘Abraham’ – blouse I am working on at present.
The ‘Abraham – Blouse’
This is a ‘first draft’ of the blouse draped with a unique vintage piece of Abraham fabric. The plan is to give a modern twist to the lady-like feel of the fabric design by adding graphic inserts on the shoulders. For these inserts I use spandex material – the same kind which is used for bathingsuits to contradict and at the same time highlight the precious vintage fabric.

Button – On ‘Col Claudine Collar’ for the LBD
The ‘Col Claudine’ – button on collar makes a ‘serious-business-no-jokes’ day dress out of any LBD. Add it on for a prim, chic look that will take any business negotiations to a new level.

Dress ‘Krys’
A woman should own at least one simple, elegant black dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The ‘LBD’ by Paula Immich in a transparent wool fabric.


Dress ‘Kate’ II
Dress with inserts of silk-chiffon and mohair shoulder parts add texture to this little black number.
Dress ‘Kate’ I
This is the former shape of the little black dress ‘kate’. The fit is much looser and the inserts are made of mesh instead of silkchiffon.

The Little Black Dress
I am not particularly a big fan of overknee boots but with this little black dress, and equipped with a HairyClutch Bag this ensemble is simply sensational.


Beautiful Blonde
Black Overalls…
are a nice alternative to the little black dress. The generously draped left sleeve of this asymetric black overall puts the action of your right hand straight into the spotlight – even if only holding the champagne glass. Whereas the right hand sleeve is slim and all about elegant lines. Click picture to shop
Perfect Match for ‘Kate’:
chunky classic men’s shoes with a wedge heel. Make your leggs look twice as long and skinny. Click picture to shop.

About Coats and Vests
When I started designing this piece I had in mind a coat with long, slim lapels, slender little shoulders and a somewhat oversized silhouette. The more I worked on it the less the design apealed to me. Eventually I ended up taking off the sleeves – et voilá: the coat has turned into a vest and I am quite pleased with the result.

Details of the Pencil Skirt
made of heavy, doublefaced georgette. The pockets covered with mesh fabric are losely attached for a 3D – efect.

Pencil skirt
This boyfriend-anything trend seems to stick around longer than some of the boyfriends themselves. So even if you haven’t got one handy for the moment, consider matching something oversized to a strongly feminine piece like a pencil skirt. Click here to shop the skirt

Boyfriend’s Trench

Alpaca Batwing Jacket With Nothing But A Panty Hose
This is the same aplaca jacket as in the picture below. The cut of the sleeves can be well seen here.

Fine Hosiery
Nothing quite as feminine and boudoir-esque as exquisite hosiery. Delicate and ornamental they are close to anachronic in an era where women work the minimalistic look. The packaging is a graphic designers’s dream on matte paper coming in beautiful and inspiring shades of colors. Fogal of Switzerland.

Combining Clothes And Hair
In the past I have continually experimented with human hair-same and its effect in context to clothes. Through the use of artificial hair which is worked into the garment as a decorative element the hair almost seems to breathe life into the textiles. Photography by Christiane Wöhler.
Like a Pony’s Mane…
that has been touseld by the wind – short thick hair can look so ultimatively sexy when disheveled. This artfully deranged look was styled by talented hair/make-up-stylist Tan Vouong. Give him your ’like’ on facebook click here
Shoes With Hair
Working hair into a garment or accessory has a been done by an illustrous list of designers. These suede and monkey boots are by Shiaparelli from 1939.

Clutch Bags

Hair-Again
The fascination and sensuality of hair has always appealed to me. It has challenged me to put it into a new context by combining hair and garments or adding hair to accessories. Below the HairyClutchBag: Click picture to shop
Caviar for Your Eyes
This is the most wonderful black Eyeliner I have tried on for a long time. The name is almost poetic: ‘caviar ink’.
It is by Bobbi Brown and stays on even long workdays. Seen at Saks Fifth Avenue. Shop here.
Tuxedo Style Trousers And Asymetric Two -Tone Sleeve
Tuxedo-Style pants are cool with anything. Either you dress them down with a sweatshirt for every day or you go for the fancy. Here I match them with a silk blouse with a powder hued georgette detail on the sleeve.

The Herringbone Coat
The brown/white of the herringbone stands out well against the black shorts and the black classic v-neck sweater. Slightly tanned legs will do the rest. Clic picture to shop.
