REALITY STUDIO

Berlin Fashion Week is already gearing its pretty head, and while we’re too busy to take in much this time, we will certainly make an exception for our friends at Reality Studio, because this is always worth the time, especially when in the great location of Voo Store in Kreuzberg (and who, Voo that is, [...]

MONO.LUX #01: MONO.GRAMM A/W 2011

Everyone seems to be doing a fashion film these days, and we’ve been mostly pretty disappointed with what we’ve seen so far. But since complaining is one of our bad habits, we thought we’ll just make our own – as far away as possible from being a fashion film, of course. So here it is, [...]

FORM, FUNCTION AND ENNUI

We are all familiar with the so-called hipster culture. The contemporary hipster hangs around at cafés, talking about art, fashion, organic food and social justice, ideally while chatting about the next big thing to reblog on their tumblr. Well, one should not categorize that harshly, since categorizing stuff is so mainstream…
A very nice and [...]

Nice cross-dressing project by Canadian photographer Hana Pesut.

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: SOME/THINGS

Some/Things is a lush and luxurious [...]

LIGHTSCAPES

Much talk has been made of art and fashion in these past few years, mostly in a superficial and unsatisfying way. More sense makes a recent collaboration by Belgian fashion designer Dries van Noten, cover star of our issue #20, and photographer James Reeve: when van Noten discovered Reeve’s beautiful Lightscapes, a series of night [...]

STORE OF THE MONTH: VOO / BERLIN

It was only a matter of time that Berlin’s Kreuzberg district would get its own proper fashion store. Lucky for us, it happened to be Voo, which has its own particular style of fashion, magazines, decent coffee and understatement that blends in perfectly with our favourite area. A great selection of designers including Henrik Vibskov, [...]

MONO.CONTRIBUTORS #03: ADRIANO SACK

Anyone who has indulged in our still current issue #28 with Bless will have noticed that the interview is radically different to our regular approach, with Bless asking almost as many questions to our interviewer Adriano Sack as they give answers. In fact, the text developed out of an informal e-mail follow-up conversation that took [...]

NOT VOGUE

My new drug: fashion bitchiness at its most concisely hilarious. Thank you for that.
