Movin' to a new crib

means..

painting

making new curtains

planning where to put what

planning what to put in it

planning what to throw away due to the lack of space

drooling over my house room-warming party

so last month, I've been collecting a lot of inspiring images of interiors, furniture, design objects,...

Here you can see a few of them, paired with what I would wear in the new crib (in my dreams)

All interior pictures by emmas designblogg (she also gives wonderful tips to visit Stockholm!), annaleena design and weekday carnival

All clothing avaiable on oki-ni, from Maison Martin Margiela, Christopher Shannon, Gareth Pugh, JW Anderson, Rick Owens and Marc Jacobs. 

I'm a huge collector of images, pictures, drawings etc., so in my future room, there will be plenty of frames to expose everything I want to see every day in a proper way..

There will be obviously too much. I'll have to be very strict to myself or my room will look like a stocking room of a museum that only shows worthless stuff..

(and omg have you seen that jacket?! Have you??)

Next: I want little Buddha/Holy Mary/Jesus/Angel-statues in my room. Painted white. I think they are funny.

silly funny, yet funny.

and the shoes. Dear mom and dad, I truly want my room at home decorated with a few dozens of these, would you finance me? I'll be a good boy, I promise.

Since I stock up every single thing I seem to like, a few of these racks would be nice too.. preferably in white, of course.

How cute is the dog?? 

More simple racks I like, more magazines that will be all over my place.

I should keep things simple. I won't. such a pity. look at those gorgeous golden shoes! 

I'm a huge fan of cool pants. maybe I should hang mine on a wall? IN A FRAME THAT IS!

Jellyfish Jellyfish Jelly Jelly Jellyfish!

FRAAAAAMES

MORE FRAAAAAAAMES

I should stock up some glittery sparkling dazzling shiny fake diamond-brooches.

I like them.

Jacket-craving. and glass with plants. Yes there will be definitely glass! and plants! and glass! and plants!

Oh and just a daydream, can I have a room like this one day? I will play ping pong every day in these kick-ass shoes. my god yes. what a wonderful dream.

MMMARTISANAL

Maison Martin Margiela.

The artisanal collection has been part of the label since their second collection for women, more than 20 years ago. They collect used (and sometimes new) objects (certainly not only clothing!) from all over the world. They want to give these objects a second life, by turning them into garments or accessories, but always with much respect to the object itself: you can see what it's made of in almost every piece, they are like some kind of odes to the original objects.

I LIKE THIS SO FRIKKIN' MUCH!

The collection is very poetically, and is still, after all those years, one of the keystones of creative expression of La Maison. If you watch the other collections by MMM, I think you can almost feel that they all rest on this one. They are one of the labels to me that are still able to make refreshing Haute Couture, because it has some kind of funny way to look at things in it, and because it all comes from creativity and cleverness. It's all about humour and sharp answers to the original objects. It goes beyond the boundaries of beauty and aesthetics! To me, that's what Haute Couture is about. (Iris van Herpen is also someone who knows how to cross the regular boundaries and come up with something new)

On top of all this, I really like the idea of recycling things because of their history. Recently I saw an artwork in Centre Pompidou in Paris, made of hundreds of little shells of bottles of wine. It's by El Anatsui, and was really overwhelming. Making this post, I remembered it and really felt the urge to show you! It made me think of works by Gustave Klimt... (you can see more of his work here)

The pieces I picked out to show you are a few of my favourites: the vest made of fake eyelashes, the wig-coat, and the incredible elegant dress made of plastic shopping bags!

Watch them and be impressed.

you really should.

I am.

and don't forget to take a look at their website, it's quite funny!

(I really cannot hide my adoration, isn't it?)
