1'st Intro post (Me)

Hi my name is Carsten, I was born in the north of Germany Oct 1974 and live in Dublin/Ireland since the end of 2006.

I am a trained fashion salesman and have almost 11 years fashion retail experience.

Fashion or styling was always my thing.

I always loved fashion, dressing up, dressing up other people, giving advice and tips and love making people happy and confident by helping them to find the right clothes or outfits.

Fashion helps me to express myself and sometimes I even use fashion to escape the day to day routine.

I love styling and standing out in the crowd, even tough I am actually a bit shy ;-),

I love getting attention for what I am wearing, or how I am wearing it!

By the way, at the moment I am totally into the 50's and 60's, but that can change, I like being versatile and not tied to one certain trend.

I get my inspiration from the likes of any of the following:

The films “Julie&Julia” & “PS I love you” and personalities like Gok Wan, Jean Paul Gaultier, Tom Ford, Vivienne Westwood, Elton John, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Nina Hagen and of course YOU guys by filling our streets with all sorts of trends and styles.

Thanks ;-)

Last but not least, I got my inspiration from my friends and want to use this moment to say a special thanks to :

Jo, Fintan, Kate, Michael and Viktoria, for encouraging me to start this blog and Fergus for editing some of my texts.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy,
