My new fashion column for the SI Style magazine is available now. This time, I am telling you about an amazing trip in September to Venice for the birthday party of a very dear friend. The motto “40 years, 40 hours” was to be taken literally. Below you will find some photos of the beginning of the weekend. The host had chartered an aircraft for all his friends so that the party started already on the flight. More photos of the night which felt like a scene from the movie “Eyes Wide Shut”, the hotel and more to be posted soon! It was definitely the best party ever!
My comfy travel outfit: A cozy overall, scarf, bag and wedges (see photos below) by Bottega Veneta, necklace and bangles by Chanel, watch by Roger Dubuis.
Venice is always worth to travel to…

Dolce & Gabbana’s star-sprinkled collection is loved by fashionistas and celebrities all over the world. The must-have print also graces some of the recent September issues. From Spanish Vogue with Eva Herzigova, Helena Christensen and Claudia Schiffer in a trio of Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2011 dresses on the cover to American Marie Claire with Anne Hathaway.
My favourites are the printed star dress with lace inserts
and the matching star pumps. 
The sequined star clutch and wallet
work well with every outfit.
Happy Shopping!

Not hard to tell, I love everything fashion-related. Fashion magazines, fashion photography have been fascinating me since my childhood and I was always eager to work in that field. Vogue has been my bible since then. Over 25 years ago, I have started collecting US, German, Italian, UK and French Vogue issues. My archive is complete and had even moved with me over the Atlantic ocean and back. Do you know how much paper weighs?!

Therefore I couldn’t be happier about Voguepedia, “the little baby of Wikipedia and Vogue”, that has been launched in May this year. The archive is supposed to cover the magazine’s 119 year history, with hopefully every issue catalogued one day. At the moment, the encyclopedia of all things Vogue is far from being complete but still lots of fun to browse through. Gosh, how I would have loved something like this during my studies…
I think that it is a smart move of Vogue to attract the younger generation that is more online-orientated and far away from a print media nostalgia…
