Introduction of a Stranger

Hi Fashionlovers,


My name is Simon, I'm 17 and I was lucky enough to be asked by the amazing author of this blog to join her and  to contribute to this great blog. I'll start by explaining why Fashion (with capital F!) is so important to me. First of all, it's a true form of art and expression that has a purpose beyond being decorative. It's basically wearable craftmanship and innovation. Furthermore, Fashion mirrors the ideas and atmosphere of the era it was made in, so it's historically very interesting. And last but not least, life is simply too short to wear ugly or boring clothes.

What can you expect from me? 


I will try to voice my opinion about the latest Fashion shows and trends, as well as some journeys back in time. Taste is ofcourse different for everyone, I hope you like what I like and if you don't, feel free to let me know why! (feel free to say something if you do agree as well ;))


Things to come:

Thom Browne Fall 2012 RTW NY

VPL Fall 2012 RTW NY

Jeremy Scott Fall 2012 FTW NY

My favorites of the Fashion Weeks so far! Lots and lots more to come (with commentaries), so stay tuned!


Fashionable Greetings, Simon

Hello/Goodbye

Hi there
Yes, it's me again. Only this time in a different invironment and you're asking yourself: how come? Where to start? I've been blogging on Weblog (a Dutch blogging site). The reason of this was actually quite simple: Weblog was so much easier to work with. We were living the most amazing fairy tale, I mean that's what I thought. But you know how Blog Charmings can be: fickle, so fickle. I thought we were meant to be but he needed more space. I thought he'd stay forever but our relationship ended after 5 fabulous months. He just disappeared. No, not quite actually. No, no it went like this. He told me that he'd go away for a few days, maximum a couple weeks. He would return though, that's what he promised! I trusted him because he would never let me down. We were a team, you know? He lied to me, Blog Charming disappeared. We talked for the very last time on the 21st of August. I haven't seen or heard him since then. I was frustrated, angry, impatient and dying to start over again and I think I'm ready now. Ready to start a new blogmance. I've waited enough and a blogger can't wait forever. Enough Blog Charmings in the sea! And I do not give up on blogging because it's what I do, it's a part of who I am. I'm keeping it simple for this first blog post; just a few inspiration pics to start with. I will blog in English but also in Dutch.
P.s.: My blog on Weblog has disappeared after the immigration the site was having. I can't log in to or visit it since then. They said the clean-up and immigration would take a couple days/weeks but it has been going on for two months now. I've saved a couple of my blogs but didn't post old ones because a blog should always be up to date and that's my main goal. So, I'm having a brand new start and I hope you join me in this!

I do not owe the pictures and I wil mention if I do. These are mainly from my tumblr or Vogue Paris.
