FERRAI ZÖCHLING brand one should keep in mind when thinking of the austrian fashion scene. Playful modesty interact with playful prints by various artist are the core of the most of the collections by artisan and designer ROMANA ZÖCHLING . fashion designer ROMANA ZÖCHLING at leisure A dedication to crafts-woman-ship and best quality materials is what makes each piece a keeper and lets you stay interested in what would come next. Which is exactly what we have been asking - whats next? The designer teamed up yet again with another viennese painter and illustration artist - MARIANNE VLASCHITS . As Vlaschits whos known for her provocative, playful and sarcastic work seems to be a perfect fit i ask myself the question why both artists and friends did not collaborate earlier - however i guess it's all about timing ;) - we love the result and want to share it with you. for more of FERRARI ZÖCHLING click HERE or visit their boutique in Vienna: ...

how did you spent your year? What would do do differently? If you could, what would you change? 2016 was a year so different from any year i have experienced in my short Life. You could say that that is the case with any year we go through and i guess you are right but it still is the way i feel about it.  One year ago i decided to pack my things and move to the Island of Bali because i needed a break from the european system and the overall mood of this continent.  I needed a change.  I had to refocus and find out (and this is not meant in any esoteric way) who i really am.  And you know what? I still don't know!  And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! What i do know is that i learned a lot about my self and how i used to handle situations and how i handle them now. I learn to see that there is ALWAYS another way and to not freak out about small things (I used to be really good at that). And even if i still somehow en...

I have to apologize at this point but i feel like writing this post in German. I suck at german grammar but whateevvss this is my Blog ;) Wie es der Zufall so will bin ich dieses Jahr zufälligerweise in Wien während auch die VIENNALE 2016 Stattfindet - natürlich hab ich es total verschwitzt mich als Presse zu akkreditieren (ich schreib gerade eine Mail hin! wish me luck!) Aber für gute Filme und ein um solches Festival zu unterstützen habe ich natürlich kein Problem damit mit die Kinokarten auch zu kaufen. In diesem Jahr ist der große amerikanische Kultregisseur, Filmkomponist, Drehbuchautor, Produzent und Schauspieler John Carpenter Mittelpunkt einer Reihe außergewöhnlicher Veranstaltungen in Wien. John Howard Carpenter machte sich erstmals durch ein Studienprojekt an dem er beteiligt war einen Namen. Nämlich in dem Kurzfilm "The Resurrection of Broncho Billy" Ein weiterer Höhepunkt in diesem Jahr ist eine kurz-Konzert und Lesung von niemandem geringerem als Patti S...

its this time of year again! Vienna turns into a huge screen for national and international projections! Every now and again, time plays a special role. Today, as we hold this press conference for the Viennale 2015, the city is facing a crucial election. We announce a festival that will begin once this election is decided. Without being overdramatic, it feels a bit as if we were in an interim time, in a transitory state. This situation also reflects how important it is to defend a cause and a form at any time. Or, as a wise man once said: “to let neither the power of others, nor our own powerlessness, stupefy us.” Or as another one sang, “The Time is Always now.” As the innovations we introduced last year have proven to be successful (the extension of the festival by one day and adding the new Eric Pleskow cinema hall in the Metro Kinokulturhaus as a venue), we have decided to stick to these changes. Moreover, the festival will take place in familiar fashion in the long-est...

Its a wrap. The Austrian Movie Awards 2015 are history. Starting with obvious favorites on to finding "Mundls" Iphone on his empty seat it was a very nice experience and i want to thank ANNA SPANLANG for giving me the opportunity -again- to be part of it! My Friend Hannah an myself attended the Austrian movie awards last wednesday at the RATHAUS in Vienna. A beautiful and better location then last year. Who ever has been tot he Rathaus will agree that its probably on of the three best locations to host a Gala. The 5th Austrian Movie Awards celebrated their "Kindergarten" birthday as the host of the evening KARL MARKOVICS described it. Humorous as always he led through the evening provoking mr Andreas Mailath-Pokorny (City councillor for cultural affairs) and confronting him to give more sponsored space to people in Film such as studios, offices etc and causing the audience to laugh no only about his kinda funny but not Joke about two goats eating the script o...

... David Meran . Whats there to say about this gentle person. Well as so often the first real contact was made over facebook discussing a future project we could do together. So we let our creative juices flow over a nice steak dinner and - OMG 3 bottles of wine and some homemade Zirbenschnaps haha. What followed was a very nice evening with a person i can call my new found friend now. David is an amazing person a talented photographer and painter and i am very happy to have met him. I'm sure we will have some great times together and also great projects. Also from upper Austria (like myself) we talked about world problems, art and our personal development over the last years. From discussing why we hate the word "Heterolike" to what we would do if we got kicked out of the " Cafè Prückel " because kissed in public as a gay couple. i have the pleasure to introduce my selection of his works here now to you. Starting with a short film. . ...
