Schueller De Waal Fashion Film Installation Spring-Summer 2019

Fashion Film Installation

Dutch fashion designduo Schueller De Waal (SDW) presented their vision on fashion in an autonomous presentation at Palais de Tokyo, Paris: a Fashion Film Installation. The film: ‘Gateway To Fashion’ is starring Dutch topmodel Iekeliene Stange acting as the ‘Fashion Therapist’. She guides us to ‘The Gateway To Fashion’.

The presentation of this conceptual Fashion Film Installation was planned smartly at the end of Paris Fashion Week. SDW offered the audience (“fashion victims or victims of fashion”) time to reflect and to slow down, by watching the film “Fashion Therapy” in comfortable furniture, whilst getting a massage. (And maybe more soothing things, we don’t know. Sadly to say, Mimi Berlin Blogger Team was visiting Berlin, the heimat.)

SDW Studio

This presentation is categorized under art-direction rather than design. SDW didn’t create a new collection. Instead they re-styled all of their former collections into a new concept for Spring-Summer 2019.

We are exited to find out when, or if, the duo ever are going to design a pret-a-porter collection again. Will they be SDW (S(eeking)D(esign)W(ellbeing) Studio; art-directors and stylists from now on? They are doing very well in all disciplines, so wir sind gespannt about their future work! By the way; their last newly designed collection was for Winter 2018/2019. Click for links and more info below. Continue reading

Interview Magazine Deceased A Brief History

Interview Magazine

We all heard the news by now that Interview Magazine won’t be published anymore, it’s deceased of bankruptcy. We think it’s horrible for the employees. But for us, at Mimi Berlin that isn’t really sad news. Why not? you ask of us, well maybe some explanaton is in order here.

All you ever wanted to know about Interview Magazine

The first issue of the glamorous newspaper was published in late 1969. Yes, let that sink in for a moment; it was in the previous century! The magazine was started by Andy Warhol (1928-1987) and John Wilcock (also one of the five co-founders of the New York Village Voice newspaper.) Interview was a so-called underground platform. The magazine was very populair in the 1970’s and was read by the in-crowd of the entire globe. The iconic covers, made by Richard Bernstein (1939-2002) from 1972 to 1989, date from that period.

 

Brant Publications, Inc

Afer the death of Andy Warhol, Peter Brant (Brant Publications) acquired the magazine in 1989. Ingrid Barbara Sischy (1952-2015) became the editor until 2008. Continue reading

The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin

The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin

A tale written by Beatix Potter and ‘told’ by the Royal Ballet. Watching this clip is an easy-going, friendly way to start the day (in our opinion) Have a nice one! xoxo Mimi

“Tales of Beatrix Potter was created in 1971 for a film, bringing alive with astonishing accuracy the famous images and stories of Beatrix Potter. The dancers of The Royal Ballet are dressed and masked to look just as we know them from the illustrations.” (via and see more youtube Royal Opera House))
