You seem like a nice guy. You really do. Delicate, even – considering that you developed these feelings for me during this short period of time. Your love note truly warmed my heart but made me feel guilty at the same time. Maybe it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let you this close. I shouldn’t have let you think that this was anything more than you bringing me letters and the parcels.
FACT No.1: The peanut butter and jam toast phenomenon is the tendency of the piece of bread, when it falls, to land PBJ-side down in the majority of instances. Whilst this was once considered to represent mere pessimism, a form of Murphy’s law, scientific evidence for the phenomenon has been found.
I always found that You don’t have to go out of Your way if You need inspiration for designing. Either it’s about architecture, fashion or graphic design, nature provides an endless source of breathtaking structures, colours, patterns and phenomenon.
I’ve seen this architectural phenomenon many times on my way to Cranleigh. It caught my attention right away because, well, a gate that refuses to be a gate makes me question the very base of my studies.
So this little ‘attention door’ cannot be told what a gate should do. Separating and connecting at the same time, for instance. (How poetic of a few pieces of brick and some cement!) But this one only stands by the road, not separating nor connecting, just looking very mysterious. Even suspicious if You ask me. But I guess, that’s just the way portals to other dimensions are nowadays…

We travelled down to Brighton for a few days. I have never been to there and I made a big mistake when I thought I already know the English winter and how mild it is. Despite the fact that my ears turned to be icicles, I really enjoyed walking around and discovering a new city.
I wish. I wish gravity and rainwater didn’t make it so hard to create freely. Experimenting with masses, materials, textures and surfaces without having to think about heat insulation or load bearing beams sounds like a dream come true. And then there is electricity to consider, heating and God forbid plumbing with all the wires, pipes and those fairly unattractive chimneys and bathroom windows that end the façade fairytale. Unfortunately though these things are quite handy on an everyday basis when you are a human being, not a cow.
Man, I hate that dress! That turtle neck makes me feel strangled. I did not expect that when I bought it at a very favourable reduced price!
…when You grow up?
I did not really understand why it is a must to force myself into a box by defining a certain future career for myself. It felt like losing my freedom. Still, as a kid I had to answer questions asked by adults so I went into the game and said, I love drawing and designing the most and so I want to be a fashion designer, of course.
