BERND&OLIVIA

The abstract painter Bernd Naber came to New York, when Andy Warhol was still living. Since then decades past, but Bernd kept his unique style. He loves white cloth. Olivia Fincato, who baught her whole outfit at Zara, writes about art, design and culture. A nice couple? „We just met here“, says Olivia at the modern dance performance. Last year the italian journalist published her first book about the 106 year old woman doctor Lucia Servadio Bedarida.

EVA

Two years passed since Eva (26) is living in New York, although she just wanted to stay for three months. Bavarian born stylist, fashion journalist and photographer buys buckets of vintage cloth at the Salvation Army Shop and customizes it. No surprise she cuts her bangs by herself.

MAC

„I would go shopping everyday, if i could“, says Mac, 25, who loves Jack Spade and works as stylist. And as assistant in the DC Store. He spread eight tatoos on his body and started to primp, when he was eighteen. At that time he was still living in Minessota, already working in retail. Unbelievable but true: his last name is Donald. „I like classics.“ M(a)c admits.

TAO

„I buy my cloths in stores,“ Tao (29) said. duh - where? "I got the hat at my friends shop, called Stillife in East Village." Last week Tao rescued a five week old kitten, that someone had thrown in the dumpster. It lives now at the music studio Tao has been building since three years. It will be finished at the end of July. Who knows, whether he will record the music of his DJ collective Phonostar or Justin Timberlake?

SUZANNE

Suzanne (49) is famous for singing many Ds, as her last name is Vega. She lives in the Upper West Side and when she doesnt feel like traveling downtown to Daryl K , she pays Barneys a call. Lucky Daryl K suits the taste of the best singers in town as the shop is also the place, where Christian Joy met her muse Karen O, the singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

RICHIE

Richie (24) wears everyday the same. He either steals the cloth of his friends and their relatives (his shirt was worn for years by his friends grandfather) or they deviate it voluntary. Thats why the singer of the ascending Indie Band the Willowz doesnt buy any cloth in New York, but has many friends, even he comes originally from L.A. There he found his jeans at Earnest Sewn.

KATHRINE

Here flitters a coat from Elisa Jimene, the New York/ New Mexico-based Designer, who was featured in the television series “Project Runway” over the Williamsburg Bridge. But before we could ask Kathrine, where she was going, she was already on the move.

CHIHARU

Chiharus simple plastic bag wants to be a leather bag. So Marc Jabobs printed lines on it, that look like joints. She bought it and the jacket at Barneys, but her favorite shop in town is Opening Ceremony, that features young European designers like Pulver. Chiharus developes products for GAP and eats best in italian restaurants.

SASCHA

6,5 feet high Swiss born Sascha (36) is nearly too tall to fit in the picture. Besides the Peter Grimms hat, named “sweet thing“, he bought all parts of his outfit at H&M and Zara. Besided his PhD project in Architecture, that guided him to New York, Sascha is looking for landlords to expand his project Hotel Balkan, a platform that accomplishes guests and hosts.

HAIDEE

„I liked the pictures but not the words“, says Haidee Findlay-Levin after the worldpremier of Peter Lindberghs and Holly Fishers movie Everywhere at Once. Today the famous fantastic mag stylist wears Dries van Noten shoes and plastic Vintage glasses instead of Ray Bans - just for style or to see the movie? We dont know. And she does not know why we think, that she dresses special. "I just wear a black top and black pants.“
