… a glimpse of what's haPpening

Brenda WaLsh



Wrong! This is not a picture of Brenda Walsh in Beverly Hills 90210. This is the new catalog from Zara. As I was browsing through the pictures, my eyes absolutely stopped and my head started playing the famous credit song. I think the 90′s rule and their comeback was expected. Over the past year we have seen how the trend is becoming stronger. Hope you enjoy the look book as much as I did.

Michael was standing in the corner of 18th and Castro St, he just moved from NYC to SF. He usually buy in vintage stores and love to mix and match. He is not afraid of color, even though New Yorkers only know black, white and gray-

The vintage cardigan was bright enough to capture my attention but honestly I was driven by the yellow socks and loafers. “We don’t all want to dress like soldiers” McQueen.

Beautiful day @ Union Sq. I was reading a book, enjoying the city, the people and the music. Tourists come and go. An exhibition is positioned in the middle of the square. It’s awesome to watch the people stare to a piece of art for minutes, or just simply pass by without even turning around.

He was pretty cool though. I don’t know what he does for living, but I could definitely say he just likes art. I was very, very far away taking pictures, so it is almost impossible that he noticed me. These pictures are completely spontaneous, loved his hands in his pockets, his sleeves pushed up, and his colorful bag.

Visiting from Switzerland and completely understood San Francisco! Even though we are having THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DAYS in the city, you can’t leave home without your cardigan and scarf. That’s just the drill here.
