multitasking

mimi vertNo doubt I love photography. There are many great photographers I really admire. Without aspiring to compete with them - in my job the temptation to try out the experience behind the lens is huge.
Now it is something between pleasure and impatience (the dubious excuse to safe time) that sometimes makes me shoot for mimi vert myself...

Madrid's Ramses

I visit Madrid frequently, but since I am always on-the-go, only for a couple of days each time. During my last stay I was glad to discover Ramses. A beautiful bar/ restaurant/ club designed by the french designer Phillipe Starck. Even the bathroom is worth a visit! The food is fine but is simply exceeded by the beautiful mix of chairs, the pompous chandeliers, sofas and the scrawled walls with Luis Urculo's graphics. The best is to go at the second seating at the petit bistro and end up at the bar that is maybe one of the nicest places to hang out in Madrid. www.ramseslife.com

Cycladic Inspiration

Miriam Josi for Mimi VertI started this blog with a post about my admiration for the Cycladic civilization. This new piece shows it's influence on my designs.
You can use this female figure pendant by either side (black or white). The chain adjusts in two different lengths, on the end hangs the mimi vert eye charm.
You already can get it in the stores and very soon on our online boutique...
I got shot with the Cycladic necklace by NYC based photographer Christina Arena. To see more of her work visit www.photographerarena.com

IWC's Portuguese

In the era of cellphones we actually don't need a wristwatch to look at the time. Nevertheless the art of watch making continues to be alive. Why there still are companies that make mechanical watches today? It's not because we depend on them. It is simply because they refine our senses, like my partner Ilias says. The aesthetics, the precision, the details of the movement where the eye can't see, makes a watch more than a luxury object a piece of scientific art. It is still very difficult despite technological advances to built a precise mechanical watch that depends on the movement of one's wrist instead of a battery. Among all, my favorite is IWC "International Watch Company". Founded in 1868 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland continues to be today one of the most respected brands on the field. They are known for pilot and diving lines that resist up to 2000 meters. The most representative model though is the Portuguese. It was created to benefit the seafarers converting the original chronograph pocket watch to a wristwatch. A classic, simple and very masculine piece I love to wear myself.

Cesary Bar e Piadina

Whenever I'm in Bern -no matter for how long- I don't miss the opportunity of visiting this place to meet friends and enjoy the best coffe in town.
Few years ago Inor and Telemaco Cesari commissioned Komamako to design their bar. Kosta Stathakis and Marco Simonetti, founders of Komamako did a great job. Their intention was to break the stereotype of the typical Italian bar. By adding the element of old family pictures to the contemporary decor, they still managed to create an Italian flair. Cesary's authentic atmosphere is the outcome of the duo's explorative and innovative approach to design. www.komamako.com

Ecliptica

Miriam Josi at EclipticaNorein and Michelle Otero make up the eccentric designing duo of this clothing line. It's always fun to work with these charming sisters whose collections have been chosen by the Gen Art Organization to show in Miami and New York. Ecliptica fashion is worn by Roselyn Sanchez, Dayanara Torres, Hilary Duff, Nelly Furtado among others. I personally love Ecliptica's clothes for the simplicity and their modern, dynamic fit. www.eclipticafashion.com
