Picture(s) Of The Day
by Mertol Akinci posted on July 03, 2009Well guys, you might ask what this picture is about. Surprisingly, it‘s not the latest trend colors coming in next season – I hope this isn‘t disappointing you. The truth is, the picture is showing an officer of the "peace“ on my 1976 Vespa Special N at the main entrance of the Bread&Butter just a few hours ago!!!
So here I am, on my way to the Temporary Showroom at Kastanienallee, to hold an interview with one of the next up-and-coming Designers Chris Holzinger, who was mentioned in my top 10 Menswear designers article at NOT JUST A LABEL.
As I was about to leave the area, once again I was faced with our disciplined constitutional state (which takes traffic safety very seriously). All because my front break doesn‘t block the wheel completely, and a stretched leather band in the middle of the seat was missing, these guys poured over my Vespa with the care of an anal-retentive grandmother. After a speed test by the kindly gentleman in green (a motorcycle cop called in specifically to perform this highly technical operation), they concluded my harmless classic scooter comprised a danger to the society as my speedometer is…slightly less than functional. As result, they decided to impound my Vespa until more conclusive testing could be done. Well done buddy, you must have been extremely bored!
