Fashion People

Lookbook.nu

The site is for fashion people and by fashion people. Somewhat of a community for attention seekers.

So here is a couple of high-lights.


Of course there are a lot more girls posting pictures that there are guys. And most of the time the guys that actually do post pictures are not on the same level. But a couple have a clean style. Here is one example.


Simply a good place to get some inspiration, if you like this kind of fashion that it.

The Best Stuff I See/Max

Bread And Butter Party.

The Fashion People Takes Over.

It's hard to miss that one of the biggest trade show in the fashion world has put up shop in Berlin. Except for the ads on town there is a extra number of well dressed people walking the streets.

And this weekend they want to show off their merchandise. So they all put on their favorite find of the fair and mix it up with one of the many freebies they've received. When that's done they head out hunting for clubs. Today Friday there is probably gonna be a line outside Watergate. Watergate is tonight where the official club of the fair is being held.

A friend who was there yesterday at Bread and Butters party described is as "a lot of beautiful girls with pushed up tits being a bit rude". I can understand that statement. It sounds like it would fit to that crowd. None the less, the parties will also go on tomorrow and then it's not just in one club. WMF, Cookies and Watergate will all have a extra line off fashion people wanting to get in. That is if the cold don't scare them off.

The Best Stuff I See "crew" will probably be more easy about the whole weekend. As it seems, a standard winter Friday is more of a bar or bar/club night. Including seeking out a bar that looks good, that has a DJ and seeing what happens. That bar tends to be located in Kreuzberg, but it doesn't have to be.

Saturday offers more like always but nothing that really sticks out. I would say seek out something small or try to get in to one of the Bread and Butter Parties. Other than that it's your Berlin on a Saturday. More parties than you can imagine.

Have a great Weekend! I mean, it only comes around once a week.

A Clockwork of Orange.

Alex and his Droogs.

Kubricks film adaption of Anthony Brugess book might not be that far away. At least not when it comes to the electro scene.

When seeing many of the artists that make it big in the electro scene I can't help but to think of Alex and his droogs. People seem to have opened up their minds to a fashion that not long ago would have bin seen as strange.

Only the other day at Halloween I saw not one but two Alex. But that was not all. At least 20 or more were dressed in a way that easily could have been taken from one of the street gangs in A Clockwork Orange. Sure, at Halloween it's not strange to see a Alex but to see so many in a club that is not fully branded as a electro club. That means that this fair city must be overcrowded with people just waiting to put on the bowler hat. A bowler hat or sparkling military jacket.

The Droogs of Berlin do not look as hard as Alex's but thank to places like Bar 25 it is just a matter of time before you will see them on a weekend that is not carnival.

So, Stanley probably had it right. Soon we will be sitting in a bar like The Korova Milkbar getting really for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

Good with fall. Part 1.

The Flea Market.

There are a few things that are actually good with fall and that the weather is beginning to turn into crap.

One of the nice things to do in fall is to go to flea markets. The old things, the people, the whole set up works better when the leafs are turning gold and the air is a bit chilly. The mood is something special when you get up on a Sunday with a flea market day ahead. Just drinking a coffee to get yourself up and then going straight to the restaurant for brunch. Brunching in Berlin is like a hobby for some people and the interest in this way of eating had given the city a good supply of affordable brunch menus. That all-you-can-eat mentality really works in the city.

After you have filled up on to much food and to little drink it's time to go to one of the many flea markets. And the Berliners love their flea markets. You can find them on Saturdays but on Sunday it's for real, then it's business. And people have stuff to sell. Maybe people got a bit crazy and bought to much stuff in the 80's or they simple need the money, because flea markets are big business.

If you pick the right one you will get a nice mix of normal people selling off their memory's and professionals with € signs in mind. But some of these pros are artist trying to get by or young designers that want to get there brand going. It's that mix, a smoke, a cup of coffee and the fresh autumn air that makes the Flea Market one of the really good things about fall.

The only hard thing is to manage to get up to make a day out of it. I'm usually to hung over to walk out the door at 10 in the morning on a Sunday.

The Best Stuff I See/Max

A Hoody.

Sip the style.

A basic combination piece like this works almost anytime. Combined with your favorite sneakers it will not let you down. And it can be acquired at rodeo drive as well as at the suburban mall.

Why grey? Why Zip? Why not? Unlike a white jacket or hoody a grey one will not get dirty just by you sitting down on a bench. Grey will not let you down that easily. I like the zip much more than the original collage sweater or hoody. With the zip you are more flexible and if the temperature gets to high then valuable seconds can be gained. But most of all, you can sport that clean white tee you bought last weekend. Since it's all about layers.

And now as the temperatures get lower this will work under the coat or any other jacket.

The Best Stuff I See/Max

The Coat.

Seriously casual.

The Coat is like the white t-shirt or the shirt, something that is needed in a wardrobe. Get the right one and you're set for some time.

Then the question is, which one? First you have to decide for when you want the coat. In other words for which season. Thin one for fall or a thicker one for winter. I would go for a thinner one. There's more possibilities with a thinner one. To get that serious casual look simple combine a t-shirt, a hoody and the coat.

There's a reason why the coat is plastered on every billboard when fall comes.

And if you have the suit to go with it, then you can really go gangster.

Friday Night.

Step Out.

Ah, Friday nights. What would we do without them?

Berlin is a big city. Not the biggest one but certainly not the smallest one either. But when comes to party's and clubs it has a certain something that is hard to describe. It's fast but relaxed, it's beautiful but dirty, it's one of a kind.

Take a good WG party, it's an art in it's own. This is what you do. You want a lot of space for dancing so take the furniture out of most of the rooms and place them in one room that will be locked. Get a sound system hooked up and have one of your DJ-friends to play the music (most people know at least one or two DJ's). Go over the lighting and try to get that club feeling going. Then just fill the bathtub with beer and the fridge with vodka. Invite 100 or so people and the party is well on it's way. And if the cops don't come a knocking at 4 in the morning then you have done something wrong.

And when it comes to clubs in this city they are many, loud and electro. The Berliners love electro music. Why? Well, they love to dance and electro is good music to dance to. As simple as that. The list of clubs is long. And on the side of the clubs comes the special events that are held in old factories or on roof tops or any other good place. A couple of clubs that you might want to visit are Watergate, Tape, Berghain, Yaam, Icon, Tresor, Pic Nick, Cassiopeia and KulturBrauerei. But before maybe one of the thousands of bars.

Thats where I will be tonight.

The Best Stuff I See/Max

Black Tie.

Tie Yourself Up.

For those who have missed the last couple of Fridays here at The Best Stuff I See I just want to say. Get a white shirt and the cuff links to match. Then go and get yourself a black tie.

As bin said the combo of a white shirt, cuff links and a black tie is something that everybody should have in there closet. Not only is it required for occasions like weddings, funerals and baptisms but also when playing reservoir dogs. This in more fun if you get a bunch of guys together and everybody tries to actually stay in character. And if you get a black hat it's not gonna be hard to play blues brother.

In those games the shirt will be buttoned to the top button and the tie will be brought up high. This gives a very strict look. You don't have to have it like that if you're going to the club later on tonight like I am. Having the tie a bit relaxed and the top button unbuttoned gives a little more of a casual look.

And as the party goes on the tie works like a measurement on how drunk and how much fun you're having. If you get back home without your tie that normally means that you've had a pretty good night. At least that's what it always meant for me... ;)

Seize the moment and I will be back on Monday for more sneakers. You stay classy Berlin!

Adidas Originals Top Ten HI

Blue and White Baby!

Here we have a very clean sneak. Two colors, classic Adidas blue and white that's whiter than snow. This is the type of sneak I would like to see more of on the streets. And it's cleanliness will surely turn some heads. Those heads might be sneaker freak heads but that still counts. Off course not as much as other peoples heads, but still.

Match these bad boys with blue jeans and a white tee and your set for the last summer days. If you really want to make it clean then have blue details on the tee and wear a NY Yankee's cap. I think you know where I'm going with this. And the same goes for the lady's but you should have some short jeans shorts and over all just show some more skin. ;)

There's so many sneaks but so little time...

The Best Stuff I See/Max

White Shirt.

Blazing White.

Buttoning a shirt is a special feeling. Buttoning a nice shirt is even better, especially when you have a shirt that require cuff links. But besides the feeling of putting it on it's all about style. I don't think it's possible to NOT look good in a nice white shirt. Okay, maybe if the person in question is ugly as f#ck (but then nothing is going to help). My point is that it's hard to go wrong with a white shirt.

And if you think that just a white shirt is not enough to hit the club with then simply put on a black tie. I have noticed that not to many people wear this combo when going out. Most people might wear a colored shirt or a t-shirt when going out. But just the white shirt and the black tie combined with your other "normal" clothes will make you stand out. It's strange really, because a white shirt and a black tie is one of the most classic things to wear.

So when in doubt, white shirt.

Have a great weekend and I we will see each other on Sneaker Monday.

Adidas Bag.

Sports Bag.

We all have stuff, some has more than others but we all have our share of junk. And some of this stuff is good to carry around. Hence a bag.

This type of bag might not be the most practical one but what it lacks in practicality it makes up in style. It goes perfectly with a white pair of sneaks and a white tee. I would call it a really nice summer bag. Something to carry the beers and the other beach or park things that might be needed. I think that I would need one later today when I head over to IKEA to do some food shopping. Yes they have food, food that I can't get anywhere else. To bad that it's so expensive but when your trowing a Sweden party you need the right goods.

Nike Jordan Brand Air Jordan DMP 1 Retro Hi 2 Pac

"Bulls vs Celtics"

Welcome to a new week with new chances and choices. And how do we kick start the week if not with Sneaker Monday.

Maybe you are also drooling over this double pack that Nike just dropped on the sneaker world. If you are your not alone. Nike just keep coming with new Jordan's in retro looks. And here we have two of them. One is clean red that carry the bulls colors. If you like to match with red and are prone to high top then this is the pair for you. But then again the green Celtic pair has a cleanliness that is hard to describe. I think it's because of the spot on color combo. And as I understand it these sneaks are only sold in the so called Defining Moments 2-Pack. So getting this 2-pack will set you up in style for a little while. The choice you have to make will be red or green. A very nice choice to be forced to make every morning.

I on the other hand have a bigger choice to make. One that could define my future. Should I stay or should I go? At the moment I'm leaning towards staying. But maybe that's just the summer talking.

Carhartt Baseball Jacket.

Summer Jacket.

It's summer out there and hopefully warm. But even if you would like to walk around in your shorts and your tee at all times it's just not always possible. Summer in Europe has a tendency to flip at certain points. One day warm as hell the other day your questioning if it's fall already.
And in this situation it's nice to have a thin jacket. In fall or spring I would recommend a coat, hell on a rainy day there's no problem wearing a coat. But in summer less is more and carrying a big coat all the time gets annoying.

So this short thin baseball jacket from carhartt would make a very good summer jacket. Clean cut and good color. Easy to match with does white summer t-shirts.

That will do for this week. Have a nice weekend and try to enjoy the summer as much as possible. I will certainly try.

Adidas Originals Campus 80's White on White

White as snow.

New week and new shoes. Let's start this week with a Sneaker Monday. This time around it's Adidas that has dropped a very nice sneak. One could get blinded be the brightness of them. Here we have the example and I mean THE example of a clean sneak. White on white with the classic Adidas lines. I have to find out where I can get a pair here in Berlin. With that said this is a sneak that will work with anything (or nothing for that matter). With this one you can't go wrong.

I hope that you enjoyed Bobo's entry the other day. If I'm lucky I will be able to convince him to write some more stuff for us. But we will see what happens here in Berlin. Bobo can't really be trusted. I mean, I like the guy but he's sneaky. And not in Sneaker Monday type of way.

And just because it's a new week and the weekend is far away does not mean that one can not enjoy the summer. So, Carpe Diem all!

Just Another White T-Shirt.

Sssssnake Tee.

As we all know there is a lot of Tee's out there. Here's one of them.

To wear a v-neck Tee is in at the moment. And it seems as if it has now hit the hip-hop/casual scene. Not only the followers of cheap Monday will be sporting it this summer and fall.
And this one is clean to say the least. I haven't seen that many casual wearers out side of the H&M crowd wearing v-necks, so hurry up if you want to be the first :)

NIKE SB PREVIEW (HUF)

Nike SB HUF?

Welcome to a new week with The Best Stuff I See. And today is Sneaker Monday. New to the market is among other sneaks like this one. It's a classic design with colors that are very clean.

It's a lot like any hi-top sneak but since it's being dropped by SB it must have some difference to it. This sneak was launch together with four other's that all have that Nike look. It think you can get these ones over the net or you have to find yourself a Nike SB store.

And now to something completely different. The EU elections are over. Millions of people went voting yesterday. But only 43,4% of eligible voters went to the polls. That is a crappy turnout. And the really bad thing is that the right wing party's are in control of the parliament. It's not long now until we are as fare right as the U.S. We have more crises ahead of us. They will make sure of that. The only good thing is that the Pirate Party of Sweden has gotten a seat. At least that is a sign that people care about the Internet and that information should be free.

Nike Classic Cortez

Classic Nike.

Just wanted to start a new thing here. Sneaker Monday will now appear every other Monday. Or at least on Mondays to come. I will be looking around for nice sneaks and see what I find. Because we all know that it is some what of a jungle out there.

The Nike classical Cortez was designed for sports and running. Originally made out of nylon they have moved towards the street wear with changing it to leather. In my mind this is a type shoe, that meaning that this shoe fits to one type of style. If you wear jordans or air force one's and then show up in these, you will be wearing something out of your type. This is not a bad thing it's just that it can mess with your overall style and the shoes will probably not really match the clothes your wearing.

None the less this sneak looks good, a clean cut and the colors are easy and set in a good combo. I just wonder how comfortable they are. And I hope no kids where involved in making them.

That was today's bit of stuff, tomorrow more will come...

The Sun is shining.

Shades are required.

Even walking to work I now need to put my shades on. Not long ago the idea of this would never have entered my mind, but now as we find ourselves in the end of April, it's just different. The sun is back. Oh yes, the sun is back.

Sun glasses is not a new thing, it's bin around for a while, the chines had them in the 12th century. The Inuits also had shades but not using glass but instead having narrow slits to make less light hit your eyes. Wonder if they also use there sun glasses as a fashion accessory.

But which pair should one choose? There is a lot of different ones to pick from. My favorites has always bin the aviator shades. Not only because you can combine them with almost any set of clothes but also the fact that they give you that inconspicuous edge. I see you but you can't really see me. But I would say -Why stop at one pair?, don't buy brand names that cost so much more than they should. Buy many different pairs in different colors to match the stuff your wearing that day. And who really cares if you don't have designer labels on your sun glasses. I don't and you shouldn't. Cheap sun glasses might not last very long but why should they? Next year the fashion is different anyway.

First post. First thing I saw.

Not that anyone will read this, but that does not matter at this point.

Soo what will happen here, well you tell me! What do people want to see and read about?
About my day and what tedious tasks I did and didn't do? No, that shit is boring.

I thought that in between spelling mistakes and personal ideas I will post some cool stuff.

As this picture of a sneaker, it's not just any sneaker it is THE sneaker. The Addidas Stan Smith it the undisputed champ and king of the "clean" sneaker. Just look at it's designe, crispy white and tennis green.

The Smith as I like to call it is from the begining a tennis shoe named after the tennis player, yes you guessed it Stan Smith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Smith). Back when tennis player did not wear neon colored brands and ear rings the size of plates. Back when it was a bit more style in the game.


Needless to say I own a couple of these sneakers. Im wearing my green Stan Smiths right now.
My overall point is that this is always a clean and classic sneaker to wear at any occasion. A must when considering a white sneaker that will never go out of fashion (pun not intended).
