Look careful in the next days if you live in Berlin.
There's a Pebelle trunk filled with textiles going round town- you might be the lucky one to be caught in your neighbourhood. If so, grab a piece of Pebelle, put it on and get your picture taken in.
Mary Ocher is a very talented musician from Berlin that I got to know two years ago. I stumbled upon her band "Mary and the Baby Cheeses" online- it was the name that made me look at her page a bit further (and it made me smile ). Last winter we met in Vienna, where she played a gig before touring to Prague. A relaxed lady with the most beautiful vintage leather jacket I ever saw, stood in front of me (or let's be honest: she was sitting, eating)- I really liked her from the beginning. Not to mention that I am a fan of her music too.
My favourite song of Mary and the Baby Cheeses is: IN DRAG
Mary's the busiest young musician I have seen- she plays a mere of likeof one gig and 3-4 DJsets a week, tours a lot (all self-organized) and is constantly on the go. Her black/white Pebelle's were worn to death, which is surely a result of that lifestyle.
This her performing solo @Orange Ear and further down a bit more experimental at an older gig at the Kastanienkeller
Another flashback that just made it's way to my brain is a lovely collab I did with fanjollytastic Emma Bell back in autumm 09 (wow, this number already seems ages ago).
I dyed a couple of metres of cotton jersey, she did the dresses- you can also say we both moved our magic wands and, ping, the outcome was a match made in heaven. If you haven't seen it yet, here's a link to the images: http://pebelle.com/projects/2009
Within these items was my favourite dress and this little dress made it's way to Berlin in spring for a video shoot of Deine Jugend. The film is directed by Katja Hentschel and styled by Alexis Knox
Call me a tie dye punk. I live my passion for manipulating textiles and my love for arts, music, pop culture, literature & fashion. It all comes together within my label.
