TAKE ME HOME | UNITED STATES 

http://azhumane.org 

Bunny is a scruffy 4-month-old who loves one thing above all others… 

playing. She’s 25-pounds of awkward, clumsy, goofy, silly, adventureseeking 

puppy and watching her race around a grassy yard is delightful 

yet exhausting. Her previous owner wasn’t able to afford to care for a 

puppy and toys were limited. So when shelter workers at the Arizona 

Humane Society gave the curious pup a stuffed dinosaur toy, first she 

barked at it, then pawed it, then picked it up and when she make it 

squeak... well let’s just say it opened up a whole new world of fun for 

the pooch. She loves toys and the more the better because it keeps 

this fun-loving pup out of mischief (Airedale terriers are extremely 

active). Good news is the breed is exceptionally smart and with a little 

patience, some exercise and a boat load of toys she will be a wonderful 

companion for someone who enjoys a spirited, animated friend. 

Bunny is available NOW at 

the Sunnyslope Adoption 

Center located at 9226 

N 13th Avenue in Phoenix. 

Her adoption fee is $160 and 

includes her spay surgery 

and vaccines. For more 

information call 602-997-7585 

x2045 and ask for animal 

ID number A457558.

on Bermudez, a 20-year-old 

Philadelphia PA based fashion designer. 

Bron’s real name is Brandon Bermudez, 

but he wanted something different, 

something edgy, so he used his middle 

name as his first and that’s how 

Bron Bermudez was born in 2011 

when he first started designing. 

Bron Bermudez created the Black 

Leather Collection to catch people’s 

attention, to actually show his competition 

and audience that he is a focused 

and committed designer. 

His main focus for designing this 

collection was to build his first portfolio 

and start filling out college application 

in New York City. Bron Bermudez 

is a self-taught fashion designer; he 

never had one class in tailoring, 

so with this he wants to inspire the 

people who are also in his shoes. 

Bron Bermudez will continue to keep 

doing great designs, this is just 

the beginning. Stay Tuned.

“ ’ve been modeling for six years now, am published in over 50 magazines 

and working with Michael Luna was one of the best modeling experiences of 

my life.” He not only is professional, nice and a great photographer, but he is 

one of the few that actually left me with hope about pursuing a modeling in 

Arizona. Everyone says all the work is in LA and New York, but Michael Luna 

makes it so very possible to believe you make it here. Many look at modeling 

and assume we are just a pretty face, standing there smiling and trying to 

look pretty... Oh, how wrong you are... It’s acting. It’s expressing happiness 

when you’re sad, looking mad when your scared (etc..). If you’ve never 

modeled before or have been modeling for a long time, Michael will help 

bring out those emotions and capture them to share with the world. 

At first meeting Michael Luna, not only was I honored to meet him after 

seeing his work for years, but I was surprised at how he made me feel so 

comfortable and safe at our first shoot. Even after the many photographers 

I’ve met, only a very small group have I felt so close with. How he what he 

does so well, I do not know.. But he must have been born with it. 

Definitely one of my all time favorite photographers.”

MODELING | UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

Interview by fashion designer, Stacey Blanchet of Blanchet Designs 

hat makes a QUEEN? In my opinion, it is a 

woman who is smart, classy, sophisticated, 

...beautiful inside and out. She completely 

commands the audience’s attention. 

Off the magazine pages and into my life stepped 

Queen Katarina Van Derham. Could she be my 

muse? As a designer, my mind went wild when 

I saw her photo shoots. I knew immediately I 

wanted her to wear my designs, and for her to 

wear my clothes in photo shoots. And, so my 

quest began. 

Our business relationship over the past year 

developed into a friendship. What I learned in 

part is that to design for a QUEEN, the garment 

MUST be a statement piece with edge and class. 

No easy task even for a seasoned designer. 

My goal in interviewing Katarina is to bring to life 

the fantasy off the pages and make her real. You 

are will discover the smart, funny, classy, sassy 

and sophisticated Katarina Van Derham, or, as I 

like to call her “Queen Katarina”.

SB - For those who do not know your story, can you tell us 

how you began as a model and how many magazines you have 

graced the cover of? 

KVD - I was discovered when I was working as a waitress in 

Santa Monica, California. I had always dreamed of becoming a 

model but growing up in Europe where the modeling norms are 

very different than in the U.S., I never thought I could become 

one. After taking my first test shots, I could not believe that was 

me. I loved the shots! The photographer who discovered me took 

me to a modeling agency and my career literally skyrocketed. 

In just a few years I had over 50 magazine covers and 17 TV 

commercials under my belt. 

SB - How do you feel about being called ‘One of Maxim’s most 

beautiful women in the world’? 

KVD - Haha! It is flattering when you’re a young girl but as 

you get more mature you realize it is just someone’s perception 

and there is no universal truth. But I always appreciate nice 

compliments. 

SB - What doors has your beauty opened for you that you feel 

would not have been opened otherwise? 

KVD - When I lived in Europe my looks actually closed many 

doors so coming to Los Angeles and learning that as long as I 

am “young, beautiful and healthy” all the doors are open for me, 

was nice. But it took me a few years to get it and really except 

it. I was able to meet the top people in Hollywood’s industry and 

even got to date my celebrity crush. I would never come even 

close to these people if I didn’t model. 

SB - You spent two years studying Business at Oxford University. 

Why did you feel that was important? 

KVD - My dad was a politician and a judge before he retired so 

I got the intellectual side from him. I have always loved going to 

school and still today I feel the need to learn something new. I 

studied at Oxford during the last two years of my high school so 

I graduated from both just a week apart. The business project I 

was working on during those two years won a school competition, 

then a national one and also took the third place in the European 

competition. What was the project? Processing of raw cotton. lol 


SB - In starting your magazine ‘Viva Glam’, 

what are the cores principals that you feel 

are needed for success in the magazine 

business? 

KVD - Don’t sell out your vision and go 

with your gut. That’s at least my experience 

so far since I’ve been in the publishing 

industry for less than 2 years. I’ve figured 

out why magazines are not selling well 

anymore. It is not what people think it is. It 

is not the internet. Women still prefer a hard 

copy magazine versus an online magazine. 

It is the concept of putting celebrities on the 

cover that doesn’t work anymore. The world 

is tired of seeing celebrities everywhere: 

TV, Reality shows, Tabloids, Magazines, 

Ads etc… 

SB - What makes ‘Viva Glam’ different than 

all the other lifestyle magazines out there? 

KVD - We are a lifestyle magazine that 

focuses not only on the outer beauty but 

also on the inner beauty. We are the only 

magazine that covers all the areas of 

lifestyle such as beauty, fashion, travel, 

fitness, food, health etc…. We are also the 

only magazine that focuses on highlighting 

vegan, cruelty free and organic brands. We 

shoot 90% of our own content which you 

won’t find anywhere else. We have our own 

supermodels and we don’t follow trends 

that Vogue sets although we mention them. 

We set our own trends and feature timeless 

fashion that will never go out of style and 

fits every woman.

SB - What did you learn about the 

magazine business that you were not 

anticipating? And, what advice would you 

have for someone out there who wants 

to start a magazine? 


KVD - When I started I already had 

lots of skills that having a magazine 

requires so it was nice to utilize them and 

put them all under one roof. I’ve done 

everything from being a model, graphic 

artist, art director, PR person, makeup 

and hair stylist etc… Nothing really 

surprised me. The advice I would give 

anyone who wants to start a magazine 

is don’t start it without a good chunk of 

financial investment. You’ll need it more 

than you think. 

SB - You are launching a beauty line? 

Why, and what are the down sizes of it? 

And, what is really needed to succeed 

against all other products on the market? 

KVD - So far I only launched my eyelash 

line KAT lash on kvdbeauty.com. I did it 

more-less to test the market and to see 

how the whole e-commerce works. But 

what ignited my idea was the trend of 

mink eyelashes. Learning the fact that 

minks get skinned alive just for fake 

eyelashes and manufactures labeling 

them as cruelty-free made me want to 

raise awareness. As a beauty expert I 

naturally would love to have my own line 

of products but it will have to wait till the 

magazine is where I want it to be first. 

KVD - We live in the social media world 

now so you need to build your social 

network and grow it to very high numbers 

so when you have products you’ll have 

the audience to sell to. Otherwise it’s very 

hard to start a line without any celebrity 

endorsement or YOU being the face with 

millions of followers. And you have to be 

very hands on in order to compete. 

62 



SB - You also bring your social feelings into your 

magazine and follow being a vegan with everything 

that you do. How important do you think that is when 

mixing your feelings with business? 

KVD - It is very important and it should be. We 

are humans with feelings and just because we do 

business it doesn’t mean we have to be cruel and 

cutthroat. Society is tired of the corporate greed 

and we’ve entered a new era where compassion is 

playing a huge factor in business. In fact, some of the 

most successful companies have made their millions 

by having their driving force compassion and ethics. 

SB - You have tackled the modeling world, publishing 

world and now entering into the acting world with a 

new movie coming out? Why did you want to get into 

acting and what made you want to do this movie as 

your first introduction into the business on a big scale? 

KVD - Actually, I was in the acting world from 2003 

till 2012, before I started VIVA GLAM magazine. You 

could say I’m a retired actress, lol. But sometimes in 

life when you just let go and stop trying, that’s when 

things come to you. Director Steve Fawcett saw my 

photo in one of the magazines and asked the casting 

director to find me and have me come for the audition. 

It took him 2 weeks to convince me to take the role 

of Cheryl in the movie. Unbelievable and return to 

acting for one more time. I think I’m a natural actress 

because I’m an artist so acting is not too hard for me. 

But the reason why I never continued pursuing it is 

because I never liked the roles I got offered. I had 

a hard time playing trashy characters and didn’t find 

any reward in it. It wasn’t fun. And as I say: “If it isn’t 

any fun, don’t do it!” 

SB - What are your goals for the next five years with 

the modeling, publishing and acting business? 

KVD - In 5 years I will be over 40 so not sure about 

modeling and acting. But with VIVA GLAM I am 

hoping to become a powerful brand which makes a 

difference in many people’s lives around the world. 

SB - Clearly your beauty has opened doors but your 

brains have made you an empire. What are the skills sets 

that you feel are needed for a man or woman who wants 

to have and run an empire? 

KVD - First you have to become pretty much obsessed 

with your vision, goal and dream and when it becomes 

a reality and becomes your business, you have to live it 

and breathe it. I don’t have any hobbies anymore, I only 

work. And when I go on a vacation, I bring the camera 

equipment with me and turn it into a photo shoot and 

work. It takes lots of determination and focus to start 

and run any serious business. It takes lots of learning, 

struggles and facing many obstacles so you have to have 

a good stamina. 

SB - What did you have to give up along the way to 

succeed in your business? 

KVD - I had to leave my family back home and move 

across the globe. That was the hardest one and still is. 

But I would never succeed if I stayed in Slovakia. 

SB - As a woman and a business woman, what is most 

important in your life? 

KVD - LOVE. Because if you’re able to do ONLY things 

that you love, if you surround yourself with ONLY people 

you love and if you think ONLY of things you love, your life 

will be in a complete abundance and that’s what brings 

happiness. 

SB - To be able to carry the title ‘QUEEN’ you must 

be able to wear it well. You must always function at a 

high level. Only the strong survive. Katarina has proven 

over time that it takes a lot more than outer beauty to be 

successful. She has answered the age old question. Can 

you have beauty and brains? I say with absolute certainty 

“YES”. In my opinion Katarina Van Derham shows us how 

it can be done. Bravo Ms. Van Derham. We can’t wait to 

see what you do with the next 40 years of your life. I for 

one will be watching the ‘QUEEN’!

atalia Artemieva was born and raised 

in Moldova, a small and beautiful country 

in eastern Europe. 

As an adolescent she liked to draw a lot. 

Main objects os her drawings were people 

- women and couples. With time, the need 

to create grew and she tried her way in 

photography. A self-taught photographer, 

she had lots of friends among prophotographers 

all around the world who 

shares their secrets and tricks with her. 

Always creative and full of ideas, her world 

of photography is constantly changing 

for good. Her photos are a cocktail of 

passion and desires, layered with beauty 

and gentleness, sprinkled with spicy 

provocations. As a woman she truly 

understands women and mentally attracts 

men - so that they both feel comfortable 

and relaxed during her shoots. 

Many of her works were published in 

Moldova, Russia and Ukraine. At the age 

of 29 she moved to the USA, living in New 

York, and finding herself in a world of 

versatile possibilities and opportunities.



photographer - Barry Druxman 

talian, versatile, and elegant, are a 

few words that describe model, Simona 

Agostini. Agostini started modeling at 

very young age. After being chosen for 

the international children’s wear fair, Pitti 

Bimbo, her career in the fashion industry 

never stopped. 

Her slender figure and graceful proportions 

has boosted her career, and she works as a 

fitting model for some of Italy’s most famous 

brands. “Working with designers has been 

such an inspiring and creative experience. 

I learned the secrets behind a collection, 

and breathed so much beauty and talent,” 

Agostini stated. 

Thanks to direct contact with designers, 

her long legs have graced the doorways of 

elite establishments in fashion capitals like 

Paris, New York, and Milan. 

From the runway to print, Agostini has been 

featured in fashion shows, international 

magazines, and books. Taking advantage 

of her experience in the industry, Agostini 

travels around Europe working as fashion 

trainer for the prestigious luxury brand, 

GUCCI. She continues her modeling 

by pursuing personal projects and 

collaborating with talented photographers. 

Just finishing a feature in Photo France, 

Agostini states, “I never just model or pose; 

I interpret the moment. Transferring my 

personality, love for dance, and creativity, 

is very important to make each shoot an 

experience.” 

An ex-boyfriend nicknamed her “spaghetti 

legs”… could this be the name of her future 

fashion line? 



egina Salpagarova, is an Italy based model, 

mannequin, and T.V. actress. With a Russian 

and Greek background she obtained an exotic 

Eastern and Mediterranean look. She speaks 

four languages (Russian, Greek, English, and 

Italian). At a height of 5’11, her modeling career 

began in Thessaloniki, Greece. There she 

became Miss North Greece. Later she became 

a playmate in Greece’s edition of Playboy. 

Continuing to work as a model and mannequin 

in Europe, she became an actress and was the 

face of numerous brands in Italy. Among the most 

important were Tisanoreica (an Italian weight 

loss diet), Jungle Fever (an Italian hair care line), 

That’so Sun Makeup, The Suite Air (Airline), and 

Golf People Magazine. Salpagarova has also 

done advertising for Red Bull and disco clubs. 

Her beauty, intelligence, and hard work, has 

given her the title, Miss Slow Economy 2013. In 

addition to all her achievements, this year she 

has become an honorary doctor of Business 

Sciences Faculty in Switzerland University. Not 

that her schedule isn’t busy enough, she also 

starring in a sitcom on channel 1 Italy, with Enzo 

Salvi (Si Salvi Chi Puo). 

In her free time Salpagarova loves to travel. She 

just got back from Los Angeles, where she and 

her boyfriend, Andrea Carollo, were invited as 

a special guest to the Hollywood Short-Film 

Festival. Her hobbies also include, being in 

nature, playing sports, and being involved in art 

photography.

Her demeanor carries a sense of irony. When 

she is working she’s this strong, passionate, 

and sensual woman, but in real life she is the 

complete opposite. Getting primped is a task that 

she enjoys stating, “I love the strong emotions.” 


FASHION WEEK REPORT | UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

Phoenix Fashion Week -Day Two 

odels paraded down the runway at Phoenix Fashion Week day two clothed in everything from 

crisp leather blazers designed for the modern day gentleman to classically silhouetted dresses 

for the modern day career woman. Both established and emerging designers debuted their 

up and coming collections to a chic and anticipating audience at the Talking Stick Resort in 

Scottsdale, Arizona. Established designers included Gents, JHaus, and Paulie Gibson, as well 

as emerging designer of the year 2012, Los Angeles based Bri Seeley. Emerging designers 

included dpc by Dora Yin, Herbert Victoria, Proverbs by Efua, and Stephanie Gentry. 

Gents, a Los Angeles based brand specializing in fine caps and men’s apparel, opened the 

show with its casual men’s collection. Gents highlighted its specially item, the baseball cap, 

along with leather blazers, pants, and casual comfy tees. This presentation was made unique 

by the presence of the Google Glass, which several models wore down the runway. 

Beverly Hills based JHaus lived up to their slogan, “premium denim inspired by American roots,” 

with models strutting down the runway in denim and basic tees. In addition to your average jeans 

and shorts, the ultimate form of business casual was introduced in the form of denim pencil skirts 

and trousers. 

Paulie Gibson presented bold designs for the man who desires to stand out from the crowd. 

Dress shirts in shades of cobalt, blue, and teal stood out from the otherwise gray and black color 

scheme. Bold patterns (think large flowers and plaids) covered dress shirts and pants alike. 

Los Angeles based Bri Seeley, Phoenix Fashion Week’s Designer of the Year, showcased 

“wearable contemporary garments influenced by vintage silhouettes.” The collection was 

romantic and ladylike, with full skirts and high necklines. Dresses and separates were 

composed of standout combinations like emerald and mint, as well as romantic pinks 

and the occasional army green. 

Emerging designer dpc by Dora Yin showcased “timeless style for day and night.” Notable 

pieces included loose fitting dresses and a dress that can be transitioned from day tonight with 

just a movement of the sleeves from the shoulder down to the arm. Herbert Victoria’s line had 

a tribal flair, with bold, colorful patterns and geometric designs. Dresses had unique necklines, 

popped collars, and off the shoulder sleeves, and were accompanied by jewelry by Melis and 

handbags by Beautiifash. Dubai-based Proverbs by Efua debuted a collection with a cause. 

The brand donates 20% of its profits to stop human trafficking. The collection, though fairly 

simple, displayed full skirts and dresses in bold colors. 

Stephanie Gentry closed the show with her dreamy women’s collection, a stark contrast to 

the rigid yet casual opening Gents collection. Models floated down the runway clothed in 

ethereal lavender dresses and silky white pants. The diversity of the collections at Phoenix 

Fashion Week day two made the show interesting for every fashion show attendee. Both the 

established and emerging designers presented collections that will surely emerge as popular 

collections in the future.

and Fantasy Competition in March 

of 2013 at WCFW and were invited 

back to showcase again this fall. 

estern Canada Fashion Week is the 

longest running fashion week in Alberta, now 

the third-largest in Canada. Our primary 

mission is to create a community, not only a 

community of designers, but a community 

that unites all those who are involved in 

the fashion and beauty industries. This 

community further encompasses the media 

and production staff. We firmly believe 

that our emphasis on community makes 

for a one-of-a-kind event. We are unique 

among fashion weeks around the world, 

because we are not only a platform for 

established designers, we are also an inhouse 

incubator for supporting new talent. 

For this reason, we have created contests 

like our emerging designer contest, and 

we are always evolving new methods of 

discovering and supporting talent.

Its not a very nice phrase but its used so often. It made me feel like I’m not a 

whole person, and never will be. Being mixed race I used to not know where 

I fit in. I was neither white nor black so I never felt accepted. Some pathetic 

people thought it was funny to call me names like ‘zebra,’ ‘creamy,’ and all 

types of other horrible things. But now, I have overcome all of this. Now I love 

who I am as well as my background. With things you can’t change, like race, 

you just have to accept and own it! There’s always going to people out there 

putting you down, but you just have to carry on and let them wallow in their 

ignorance. - Connie Chadwick 

120 


My story would have to be just going through a 

period of time in school where I just spent all my 

time feeling like I couldn’t fit in with all the pretty 

and confident girls. They would call me things like 

‘weirdo’ ect., because I didn’t make a great effort 

to conform. The jumped at every opportunity 

to put me down about my appearance, beliefs 

and things I said. Even things as silly as my hair 

colour. This came from a group of people that 

I considered friends. When I started to model, 

I gained confidence but they told me that I lied 

about it. I was always the one ‘friend’ in that 

group that was walked over and I always slipped 

under the radar and felt quite insignificant. I now, 

however, have a very supportive group of friends 

and a great family who are always there for me. 

The names don’t affect me in any way any more. 

- Leah McCormick 

Well since I’m Polish, I got bullied quite a lot and racist comments 

were coming towards me like “you steel our homes, jobs and food” 

as you can imagine it wasn’t nice. Since i always tried to stand up 

for myself i got called a show off just because i was trying to break 

through and not give up. This is my story.

Judged 

I spent most of my teenage years feeling lost, 

resentful and excluded from the status quo. Not 

only did I come from a very humble background, 

which was often the joke of more privileged kids in 

my class, I also looked different due to my mixed 

heritage. Automatically, I felt subject to scrutiny 

due to my difference, but this also fuelled me with 

an overwhelming desire to prove people wrong. 

I was the underdog, no one at school really had 

high expectations of me, why would they? The 

sheer fact that I lived in one of the most deprived 

places in my area was enough to eclipse the fact 

that I may have possessed some form of talent. I 

worked relentlessly hard at school, I admit, maybe 

some of it was to attract attention (and it did), but 

I was determined to challenge a stereotype and 

to show others that you cannot judge a person 

based on circumstance, for we are all different 

with something unique to offer. You have two 

choices; to become inspired by your situation 

or to become a victim of it, we should place a 

higher value on ourselves and to remember that 

they will only win if you let them. 

- Ekatrina De Rossi 

122 


Freak 

I don’t have that many, but I guess the one that affected me the 

most is “freak.” I’m tattooed and its most visable to others. Its not 

my face or anything, but I constantly get stared at and judged. I’ve 

had it shouted at me when I’ve been out with my son and I was 

treated like an outcast at a mothers’ and toddlers’ group. No one 

bothered to speak to me or even acknowledge my wee boy. It hurt. 

As all my tattoos have a story and meaning behind them. I know now 

I’m unique. This makes me who I am and what I’ve been through. I 

let people stare and whisper now. At least when I’m older, my son 

can tell people, “my mummy had a colourful life.” To me everyone is 

beautiful. xx - Saranne Coates 

Ok well, when I was younger, I was always 

called ‘big ears’ and ‘lanky.’ I even got spat 

on by the boys up around my area. Another 

time I was held by four boys, got hit and 

kicked by two sisters who live beside me. 

I was bullied right up until year 11. Now I 

am moving into year 12, and hopefully 

everything changes for my last year so that I 

can focus. Being bullied I never worked my 

hardest. - Sophie Campbell

harpe eyed readers may observe that I have made no mention of London 

Fashion Week, or indeed any other fashion week! Why? the less than observant may 

ask! The answer is simple these events have (like the whole associated concept of 

branding and marketing) come to represent the law of diminishing returns, for not 

only do they look and sound incredibly dated, but everybody who is nobody and 

desperately wants to be somebody is there! The lights are on but nobody’s home! 

So where does this leave us? If current structures and brands look increasingly 

tired dated and lackluster, and indeed, far too bright loud and shiny for words! 

Equally there seems to be an absolute tsunami of fashion weeks, and fashion 

events popping up everywhere! Brighton fashion week, Birmingham fashion week! 

What next? An Arbour Michigan fashion week? Madison Wisconsin fashion week? 

El Paso fashion week? It becomes progressively more desperate and absurd, and 

diminishes the integrity and standing of the whole industry! 

#bomb 

The antidote and answer is to be found in companies like the Berlin (Germany) 

based Trippen! For a long long time those in the know from Tokyo to London from 

NYC to Berlin and Shanghai to Paris, have made Trippen shoes their #1 choice 

when it comes to that elusive ‘coolness factor’! Look for the girl or indeed guy, with 

genuine style, that eye-catchingly cool arty stunningly unique yet understated look, 

and 99 times out of a 100 they will be wearing Trippen shoes! Trippen transcend 

‘fashion’, indeed they challenge it, by having created a globally successful company 

(not ‘brand’! for like Pure Mind/Yohji Yammamoto/Commes des Garçons etc, they 

hate the word!)! To be seen wearing Trippen shoes is to be instantly recognized as 

someone who knows what style is really about! And this is what defines the ‘new 

cool school’! Because Fashion is for people who don’t know! Style is for people 

who do! 

#courtney 

Trippen designs are beautifully made unique and extremely quirky! The word 

‘craftsmanship’ springs to mind! Additionally even the more extravagant designs 

are very comfortable indeed! For anybody who seriously cares about style and 

taste, these are the shoes to be seen in! And of course you need the right clothes! 

Yohji Yamamoto Y’s, Commes des Garcons, Pure Mind etc, all will work perfectly, 

and guarantee that you never end up looking like Victoria Beckham or some other 

dodgy celeb from the planet that style and taste forget! 

#bilbao 

So for all of you cool arty style obsessed hipsters out there in the USA and elsewhere! 

On that next trip to Europe, better jump aboard that Trans Europe Express and 

head straight for Berlin, which along with London, Beijing and Tokyo, is the coolest 

city in the world right now! The Berlin Trippen store is beautifully designed, an 

experience in itself in fact, but be warned you will most definitely max out your 

credit card and exceed your excess baggage but it will be worth it, because like 

all truly great designs Trippen are unique pieces of art, they never age! And both 

second hand and back catalogue models fetch big prices on ebay! Another tip, is 

the Trippen outlet store in Berlin…. where you can find a huge selection, but suffer 

the frustration of not finding your size because they are often ‘one offs’! But when 

you do, the prices are unbelievable! And if you cannot manage an ultra-shopping 

vacation in Berlin, They also have stores and stockists around the world including 

the USA! 

#cylinder 

My girlfriend Hong and I have been wearing Trippen for a very long time, indeed we 

almost never wear anything else, and spend far to much money on them, for they 

really are that rare thing today, utterly and irresistibly MUST HAVE!
