Having spent most of my life living in a city, I have always thought that I would keep on moving to a grander metropolis. But with the global economy having a worse hangover than Lindsay Lohan's career, maybe it is time to find solace in the simpler things in life. To find happiness in the country side all you really need is +1.

Washed out rainbow

Welcome to my dream full of innocent and pure colours for next season.

I love the different texture of the fabrics, the shiny and transparent materials which remind me of beautiful sea shells in the ocean.

Umit Benan Spring/Summer 2012

Having gone to school in New England I often spent my afternoons reading a book under a sugar maple tree, or driving my Saab around to look for strawberry/apple picking farms. I would rotate the sports I practiced according to the season: autumn was for nautical sports such as sailing, spring was for tennis. Winter was for hibernation, or the time to be a little nostalgic.

New favourite magazine

This is the first print version of the style.com magazine. I am really happy that a friend gifted it to me after a trip to Miami. It takes you deep inside all the Spring 2012 collections from New York, London, Milan and Paris. The mix between runway and front row-pictures, new faces, nightlife and inspiring street styles makes this issue the perfect bible for next season.
