Like a velvet glove cast in iron
I'm of legal age for whiskey, voting and loving. Now the next election is two
years away, and my love life ain't getting much better, so how about some
of that one-hundred-percent!

Passion
I am a passionate woman and a perfectionist. With everything I do,
it´s either all or nothing.
This doesn´t only mean sticking to my descitions with total
commitment, but also questioning my methods, execution and
myself. When it comes to style this means knowing it´s history and
being aware of the facts that it´s about details and subtleness.
This is why one should appreciate an original for it´s design, it´s
origin in the fine arts, social and historical context. The
interrelations of the cited above justify a product like the
Converse Chuck Tailor or a Cazal 607 to gain cult status.
Overdoing it like a russian nouveau riche or a hipster dressed in
neon coloured 80´s polyester top to bottom is just as horrific as
wearing pink laser Jordan IIIs – a typical symptom of style
plagiarism.
Good design isn´t cheap and cheap design isn´t good!
I have great respect for anybody who´s handling things that way,
but of course it´s each to their own.
A picture I saw this morning made me think about all this....
It would just drive me crazy, that the lacing is all messy!
it´s either all or nothing.
