Photographer: Ayasha Guerin   Ah, doing Sunday in typical Berlin style -  big scarves, military boots, vintage leather jackets and of course, trendy hair:  the platinum bob and the ironic mustache. Shot before the always evolving graffiti wall near my Altbau apartment, these two were on their way to Sunday bunch on the see-and-be-seen kastanienallee. [...]

Photographer: Ayasha Guerin I met this Berlin-based designer a couple of weeks ago on my way to a market in Prenzlauer Berg. I complemented his jacket design and he let me know he made the piece himself.  He told me about the little boutique he owns in Berlin’s Schöneberg district, where he designs and produces [...]

Bold Classics Sounds like an oxymoron, but let’s not be hasty. Consider fashion staples, such as denim, leopard, and camel. Are you yawning? Probably. I hope it is not because of my writing though, and instead because of the simple fact that these aren’t the newest of trends. Such basic pieces don’t necessarily inspire excitement [...]

Male Muses Attention male students! I’ve always struggled with economics, but there is a universal statistic that I happen to know: roman men can dress. Look no further than the photos below to see that the roman men exude streamlined sophistication. To the roman students, lawyers and fathers each day is a new chance to [...]

Green With Envy What do Kermit the Frog, The Wicked Witch of the West, and Oscar the Grouch all have in common? Other than being character staples of my adolescence, these three all knew how to rock the color green. Well, I’ll say they were ahead of their time. Today, in London anyway, green is [...]

Photographer: Ayasha Guerin I spotted these two boys smoking their cigarettes by the amphitheater that turns into the Berlin-famous Karaoke stage on Sundays. This day, though, was not a Sunday, so i took the graffitied steps 2 at a time, trying to remember the most polite German way to say “may i take a picture [...]

FASHION WEEK Ahhh, Fashion Week, when the stylish of the stylish travel all over Europe and New York to decide what’s going to be next season’s to-die for look. Of course, the idea is to not just see the clothes and photograph them, but to be seen and photographed. The scene outside of the tents [...]

Les Amis Have you ever walked down the street, and been able to pick out the friends just by what they’re wearing? Or had major envy of your friend’s newest purchase? (And then “borrowed” it later!) Although we all may have different styles, but something always seems to unite friends stylistically, just like the families [...]

La Famille I’ll just start off and say it: I am honestly obsessed with French children. I don’t know what we Americans are doing wrong, but why aren’t our kids equally adorable and well-behaved?! Here in Paris, the children are just as fashionable as their adult counterparts and, embarrassingly, I’ve been out-styled by French three-year-olds. [...]

When it Rains… Have you ever heard the expression, “when it rains, it pours?” Well, that’s not the case in London. Here, it rains constantly. Whether it’s pouring out, misting slightly, or spraying you in an upward direction as a bus passes, London’s always just a little wet. The weather in this city should pose [...]

Photographer: Ayasha Guerin I met this modern day renaissance man during my stop-over in Holland. Hans had recently been cast as the leading role in some contemporary Shakespearean production and we all decided to go into the city for some Spanish Tapas. I snapped these shots in the Utrecht canal. Hans wore trip cotton and [...]

Photographer: Ayasha Guerin Met up with this European beauty in the Netherlands, my first stop on my way to Berlin. Julia’s living in the city of Utrecht, which is a lot like it’s neighbor Amsterdam- sans the obnoxious tourists. In this picture, she’s wearing a patterend skirt she made herself, a shirt from the Cambridge [...]

Photographer: Ayasha Guerin I have to admit, I didn’t think I was taking a 9 hour leap into fall when I boarded the airplane to Berlin… but I certainly did. An average September day in the city is no warmer than 50 degrees F. This was a depressing detail until I remembered (despite my obsession [...]

Photographer: Ayasha Guerin Once sunday comes around in Berlin, people flock to my corner of Prenzlauer Berg for the Mauerpark Flea Market, where rows and rows of vendors sell everything from delicious Mediterranean delicacies to one of a kind antiques.  Lots of people sit on the grass next to the tents and picnic, but the [...]

About me: For the next 10 months, I’ll be living in the most avant-guard corner of Europe: Berlin. Here the bars are candlelit, the clubs are hidden and the people don’t read fashion magazines – although they could definitely write for them. Like the graffiti, Berlin style is individualized. Fashion is a creative process and [...]

We’ll Always Have Paris Rouge! (Red!) I just love red. Everything about it is just so vibrant, so alive. And although I am the proud owner of many red accessories and lipsticks, at some times the color can just be a little…à la Moulin Rouge, and not the Nicole Kidman way. This woman, though, has [...]
