Scouting locations for a 24 hour Gucci Snapchat takeover by Adam Csoka Keller and Evelyn Bencicova is why we were in this amazing space, Funkhaus Berlin. Have a look at the coolest video Adam and Evelyn made for Gucci HERE. While they were scouting Eva took pics of me in a modal combo I sewed from scratch some time ago. I love its simplicity and clean silhouette.

'Modal is a type of rayon, a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose, in this case often from beech trees.'

The shop assistants look at me like they have never heard of this fabric.

I adore modal. I bought it in Hüco Stoffe, the only place remotely connected to shopping for clothes that I visit most regularly (once a month) these days. Hüco sells lots of fabrics for OK prices (compared to others in Berlin). It’s very hard for me not to go crazy in there and buy all the fabric which awakens inspiration in me. Aaand of course ever since then there’s no more modal there, sold out, and when I ask for it, the shop assistants look at me like they have never heard of this fabric. Frustrating! I don’t even think it’s the language barrier. I’m B2+occupation now in German. Should be able to ask for the fabric I want. Strange.
