Last summer I had the privilege of visiting the OBSCUR showroom in Paris and see what the OBSCUR S/S12 looked like. This beautifully crafted collection featured light weight basics made of Japanese organic cotton, rustic looking Japanese linen jackets, lots of typical to OBSCUR leather goods, such as jackets with a new moldable collar and an oversize zippered bag. The designer Richard Söderberg‘s idea was to make the garments like an armor, protecting their wearer but still keep them wearable. Having tried on the garments myself, I think he succeeded spot on. OBSCUR S/S12 will become available early next year.

More pictures of the S/S12 men’s collection on OBSCUR’s blog.

If you have been wondering about the silence on this blog, well, lately I have felt like there is really no point in blabbing about superficial things like fashion when there are much more serious things going on around the globe. Hence no showing of recent purchases or new outfits in some time.

However, I wanted to show these pictures from my Paris travels that I made back in January for some time now, but was waiting for the right moment to hit my poetic vein. I figured that when the times are tough, it’s nice to remember the moments that we can be happy about, like this little detour that my German friend Dirk and I made from the men’s fashion week to the amazing Maison Le Roche by Le Corbusier. If you are in Paris and want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the more touristic attractions, then this place  should be on your must see list.

Dated back to the 1920′s, this beautiful house stands in the outskirts of Paris, near the Jasmin metro station (prepare to walk a bit, the neighborhood is a must see of its own). We celebrated this event with a little bit of bubbly which made the trip much more jolly, and spot things that might go otherwise unnoticed like cool street names and delicate sunlight hitting the Parisian streets. Oh Paris, how I miss it all already.
