In Case Of Need For A Glamorous Dress...

....have a look at the work of Anna Fuchs, a german designer from Hamburg. Anna is focussing on the creation of glamorous dresses influenced by the style of the 40's. Since she was little, her great style example was Lauren Bacall and she soon dressed like her herself. You easily notice her passion for real glamour and feminin clothes when you look at her design. You will not find any pant in her shop because, according to her opinion, it should be a pleasure for women to wear dresses. Her pieces are timeless and out of trends. I could imagine diva-tastic Dita von Teese wearing her pieces well. She would be the perfect customer and Anna would certainly be happy to win her as reference customer.


After her diploma from secondary school, Anna decided to become a tailor. She lived in Buenos Aires where she autonomously created dresses for the argetine women. They appreciated her work for emphazising on female beauty. I am not sure if german women do so as well, but it seems to work. Anna has now her own boutique in Hamburg and does everything on her own: Shopping for fabrics, designing and tailoring. For those who love her dresses as much as I do and who are not able to pass by her boutique - There is the possibility to shop online

As much as I would like to support young desigers, I still consider her prices a bit out of the range. But I guess everybody has a different budget and limit how much to spend on what. 500 EUR for an unique evening dress might be worth it.

Beautyful Hats For Heads...hut-salon.de

Yesterday my friend Julsie, prospective bride in 3 weeks, send me the link to the homepage where she ordered her hair decoration. If you feel your head deserves more than just a good coiffeur, read this:

In 1998 Susanne Gaebel's dream of her "Hut Salon" became true and she opened her own shop in Germany's capital Berlin. After her education as tailor she worked for different designers as well as in Paris. She managed to live her dream now, as mother as well as designer. If you understand german, you should read the preamble on her homepage, which is very personal, special and down-to-earth. Her collection is divided in Spring/Summer, Automn /Winter, Wedding and hair decoration. The collections itself are very much inspired by the 1920's, which are Susanne's main inspiration source.
