May 1st 2013 – labor day in Berlin – a revolution that wished it could…
Labor day… the traditional little 24 Hours in which the hard worker gets to believe for a nanosecond that anybody/the system gives a shit about him/her. I never really understood labor day. What are we the people that work our asses off supposed to do on this day? Celebrate our rights? Celebrate our jobs? Celebrate that we got one day off? Use this day to start a Read More…
CIVIC at Yohji Yamamoto’s “cutting age” defilé in Berlin – the hat that did not belong…
The concept was to cut it with the ridiculous Berlin fashion week that only brings mostly untalented creations to the light of day, as well as uninspired designers. In fact, the so called Berlin fashion week has been cut from a real “week” to a mere four to five days…

SESAME STREET and love of art long gone
As I entered the SESAME STREET exhibition at the film museum in Berlin, I couldn’t help noticing the tingling feeling of excitement in my belly.

CIVIC at opening of the exhibition “STARKER AUFTRITT!” at GRASSI museum in Leipzig, 27.03.2013
I went to the opening of the exhibition: “STARKER AUFTRITT!” at the Grassi museum in Leipzig on March 27th 2013. I was there to see all the amazing shoes the two lovely curators Liza Snook, founder of the virtual shoe museum and Sabine Epple put together.
Hundreds of the most fascinating shoes ever made were protected inside thick elegant glass vitrines as if diamond tiaras were on display. That is exactly what I demanded for the Jeremy Scott x adidas poodle when I was asked by the curators to lend it to them from my private collection. They really delivered a great show and gave the poodles a worthy place in shoe design history!
Bare in mind that of all the shoes that were in the exhibit, only maybe seven sneakers were present, of which only one original adidas sneaker and they chose Jeremy to represent the brand. So it is a great honour! Just so you understand my point, check out some more models present in the exhibition after the jump! Read More…
IVAN CIVIC enjoying an adidas party ;)
I had a great time at the adidas party! Somebody took this picture of me and it ended up HERE! I wonder who the photographer was? As you can clearly see, I love colors! Here a mash-up of Jeremy Scott for ObyO, C-neeon, New Era “Zombie trapper” and Vivienne Westwood! Black is so overrated and mostly used by the weak! There are dangerous news coming up soon! xxx
