Young British Designers revisited #2

Hello guys, I really hope that everyone of you is ok. I am sure it has been one of the most horrifying weekends for all of us. I have long thought about whether I would, could or should publish my new post today


and finally decided to do so. Although feeling this deep sadness inside of me, I could not forget what someone wise and old told us on Saturday during a tourist guide training. After a night of almost no sleep because of the Paris attacks I got up and didn't really want to go the tourist guide training. But there are things you have to do and arriving there and seeing my nice friends and colleagues didn't change my mood at all. I just wanted to be alone with my sorrow. 

When the trainer started his seminar, he talked about the terrible Paris attacks and he also told us about his long friendship with the Dalai Lama and that he has visited him a few weeks ago. And the most important piece of advice for life the Dalai Lama has given him has been to never give up. And in that moment this was at least something worth contemplating in a desperate situation like this...

Guys, I do not want to elaborate further on this, I just wanted to let you now that we are all in this together and that now I really need a change of subject at least for an hour or for a few moments together with you.

You already now my being obsessed with the Young British Designers and I have felt a really strong need to revisit their shop and to see what's new in...And it's always worth it...

My first discovery is the #APHRODITE OVERSIZED CASHMERE WRAP IN HOUNDSTOOTH Designed By The #Mercy Delta Girls. It is 100 % cashmere and I am a big big fan of cashmere. The houndstooth pattern is classic and modern at the same time and you can wear it with almost everything. Apart from this, I am in love with oversized scarfs. Not only do they keep us warm (and it's even cashmere), they really can add a very personal note to a minimal outfit. And I really  adore the combination with the one-piece and the Stan Smith...

I stick to the #MercyDeltaGirls because I really fell in love with their colours, pattern and looks, in general. The following is a really cool piece, not only for dog-lovers :the 

#RUFFORD HOUND-DOG TOP IN SYCAMORE 

The hound-dog top by the #MercyDeltaGirls is made of 100% silk.  What I like about the top is that it is suitable for business and that you can combine it with a skinny jeans on any other occasion. The combination presented on the photo is just perfect, don't you think? The GOODWOOD SILK SHIRT IN HOUND-DOG ELM WHITE is fantastic ,too. 

Guys, I have another mind-blowing piece for you: #Pepe Pants in Marine Blue Metallic by #BlakeLDN. We stick to blue...How amazing is that?

These pants are really awesome. The strong marine blue with its slightly shimmering metallic fabric and the slightly flared cut are the perfect fashion statement for a busy day. And another wonderful side effect of wearing these pants by #BlakeLDN might be warmer legs...perfect isnt't it? 

I really have to admit that I could go on for years with choosing pieces from the #youngbritishdesigners...and I promise to come back on a regular basis to show you some more of my favourite #YBD clothes and accessories. 

For the now moment I have to go back to work...two seminars on Tuesday...

If you are as obsessed with the #YBD as I am check out these blog posts: After Fashion Week Shopping with the Young British Designers, and Young British Designers Revisited #1...

For me there is only one thing left to say...
Take care of you, wherever you are...And all my thoughts go to the people in Paris -  to the victims and their families and to everyone living there who has lost a little hope during the last few days. 

We stand together with Paris...
