Imagine a modern Betty Page in parachute trousers, ski-couture jacket, gaiters boots and balloon bag walking on the street in a rhythm such as she is just listening to Mile Davis' Kind of Blue. When she comes along, a captivating scent of tobacco, honey, patchouli, raspberry, camomile makes you sure: she is a kind of jazz.

The crossover of different styles - the 'jazz' of looks, is a main trend that will hold on even for spring/summer 2010.

In fall/winter 2009/10, Diesel for example has dedicated the Black Gold collection entirely to 'Kind of Blue' by Miles Davis; a record, that can be named a 'miles'tone in music history. The studio album by the US jazz musician was originally released in 1959.

The bra is made of the 'one piece bra' technology that forms invisibly. The powdery pink and pinkish brown tulle combination enhances the female figure. The Peak Performance Supreme Down Jacket (FW9/10) brings the idea of active sports into urban fashion. The jacket is from the ski-couture line of Peak Performance. The ring of onyx, white gold and the nude colored moonstone is from Jeweler AE Köchert; 'Back to Black: aphrodisiac' for men and women is the 8th perfume (released September 2009) from the Kilian collection 'L’Oeuvre Noire'. The perfume can be described as narcotic and aphrodisiac. It has a dark, warm, captivating effect. Perfumer Calice Becker's 'Back to Black' is a composition of historic scents with modern touch; in a way very 'jazz'. The 'Pop, Punk, Techno, Rave, Reggae, House, Soul, Jazz...' t-shirt from the exclusive Klub7 collection is available at New Yorker FW9/10. The urban art group Klub7 consists of six artists and designers from Halle and Berlin whose signature is to combine different styles from illustration such as comic and street and mix it up with music.


The Cocktail Dress

The cocktail look for fall/winter 2009/10 is inspired by Chris Corner's song 'Nature Of Inviting' from the IAMX album 'Kingdom of Welcome Addiction':

"Cause everything that you are,
is everything that is.
Survive the golden dreams you try to escape from,
...
It's the nature of inviting." myspace.com/iamx

The track remembers melodies of Fad Gadget's electronic New Wave sound. The metallic beats vibrate in a warm, golden light through a dark blue night. Some of the beats shatter into radiating diamonds.

December is the hardest time for the ones who don't like socializing at cocktail parties. Dresses in elegant style, handbags with special decoration, jewellery that glitters are the keywords for the cocktail outfit. It's not easy to find a cocktail dress where you can stay yourself. But the ones who like to attend the party have to follow the clothing rules. That's the nature of inviting!
