New Year, New Shapes
I have written before how the start of a new year doesn’t necessarily create a strong sense of a new beginning in me, I tend to feel that way in September, when returning to work after summer. It is certainly the case this year, as I am recovering from a meniscus operation, so the holidays have been quiet and two days after 2024 started, it doesn’t really feel like I’ve entered a new epoch.
The Colours of This Autumn
I rarely write about trends these days, not because I have a problem with trends per se, but because I find them harder and harder to reconcile with my attempt to buy fewer items and be less influenced by big business. I am still interested in trends, though, and in particular the bigger shifts in mood, silhouette and palette that go beyond one season.
The Days of Trendlessness
These pictures were taken almost a year ago and with a charitable outlook, you could still use them to illustrate a fresh piece of writing on current trends (which I am, sort of, doing).

Leather Leisure: Massimo Dutti’s Beige Trousers
I have been bad with style posts this year, for a very simple reason: I haven’t been to Estonia for two months and this is where I usually organise my shoots. I’m planning to remedy the situation soon, but until then, I’ll have a quick post on one of my most..
9 Key Trends For Spring
I apologise to my Estonian and other Nordic readers, who probably feel it’s too early to talk about spring clothes. In Brussels, it’s getting properly warm and new season apparel is arriving in stores, so I think it’s a good time to start at least planning y..
7 Autumn Trends to Maybe Consider
All my autumn style content is still in production (this sounds much fancier than ‘the photographer will send me the pics at some point’) or yet to be shot on Thursday, but I cannot really put off the trend post any longer, both for weather and retail reason..
In Defense of Trends
Unless you’re a magazine editor (or, indeed, a blogger), you are unlikely to use the word ‘trend’ in a positive context: everybody knows that trends only matter to feebleminded people with no ability to think for themselves. Trends are by default ridiculous ..
