Bonnie Strange: Deutsche Model

Bonnie Strange and Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht

Mit ihrem eigenen Modelabel „The Shop“ vermarktet Bonnie Strange ihren persönlichen Modestil für ein breites Publikum. Dafür hatte sie extra in Berlin am Prenzlauer Berg einen Concept Store eröffnet und sammelte auf Shoppingtouren durch die ganze Welt die passenden Accessoires und Kleidungsstücke. Neben den knallbunten Kreationen ist in dem Shop außerdem ein Tattoo-Studio eingerichtet, in dem Tattoo-Künstlerin Laura Cherrygrove die Nadel schwingt.

With her own fashion label, "The Shop", Bonnie Strange marks out her personal fashion style for a wide audience. For it she has specially opened a concept store in Berlin on Prenzlauer Berg and collected suitable accessories and clothing pieces on shopping trips around the world. Next to the punchy, colorful creations, a tattoo-studio is also established, in which tattoo artist Laura Cherrygrove swings the needle.

Bonnie Strange ist eigentlich als die Freundin von Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht bekannt geworden. Trotzdem ist ihr Steckbrief randvoll mit eigenen Projekten und sie muss sich nicht auf den Lorbeeren ihres berühmten Ex-Partners ausruhen. So hat sie mit der Modelband „RIO Girls“ - zusammen mit „Germany's Next Topmodel“-Kandidatin Marie Nasemann und Modelfreundin Jackie Hide - eine Chartplatzierung in Angriff genommen. Nach zwei Singles löste sich die Band allerdings wieder auf. Ein Grund zur Trauer war das eher nicht, denn das Plus an Aufmerksamkeit nutzte Bonnie Strange und konnte mehr Model- und Fotografen-Jobs den je verbuchen.

Bonnie Strange actually became famous as the girlfriend of Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht. However she is brimful with projects and she doesn't have to rest on the laurels of her famous ex-boyfriend. Thus she has tackled a chart position with the model band "RIO Girls" together with Germany's Next Top-model candidate Marie Nasemann and model friend Jackie Hide. After two singles, the band broke up however. It was not reason for mourning, because the extra attention meant that Bonnie Strange and more models could be recorded than ever before. 

Das It-Girl hatte es sogar schon US-Blogger Parerez Hilton angetan: Der war völlig hingerissen von der Stil-Mischung ihrer Outfits. Promi-Mutter Natascha Ochsenknecht dagegen, war nicht wirklich angetan von der ehemaligen Verlobten ihres Sohnes. Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht hielt trotzdem lange zu seiner Bonnie. Im Sommer 2012 trennte sich das Paar jedoch voneinander. Kurze Zeit später kam sie mit Jacob Haupt zusammen. Im April 2013 gibt das Paar ihre Verlobung bekannt.

The It-Girl had even US-Blogger Parerez Hilton doing it: He was completely taken by the mixture of her outfits. Celeb-mother Natascha Ochsenknecht, in contrast, was not really taken by the former engagement of her son. Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht, nevertheless, held long to his Bonnie. In the summer of 2012, however, the pair separated from one another. A short time later she got together with Jacob Haupt. In the April the pair made their engagement known.

In der Schule lernen wir immer: Es gibt Menschen, Tiere und Pflanzen. Menschen sind wir selbst; Dann gibt es Tiere und die sind nicht ganz so intelligent wie wir Menschen; Und dann gibt es noch Pflanzen. Die tun nicht viel. Aber jetzt wissen wir: Pflanzen können miteinander reden! Wie? guckt im Video.

In school we always learn: There is people, animals and plants. We are humans ourselves, then there is animals, who are not as intelligent as us humans, and but then there is plants. They don't do much. But now we know: plants can talk to each other. How? Watch the video.

With her career spanning nearly half century, appearing in over 54 films and being at a stage the highest paid actress in the world, she has been rightfully called a legend: Marlene Dietrich.

Marilyn meets Marlene 

Born into a military family during the depression years in Germany, she grew up in Berlin. Her father, an German police officer, mysteriously disappeared from family life when Dietrich was only eight years old. With her mother working as a cleaner to support both her and her sister she was left alone to create the persona that would form her working life. She starred in films from the age of 19, described as being 'chunky' and 'not beautiful' she struggled a while, that was until she met an assistant film producer, Rudolf Sieber. 

After marrying and having her first child, Dietrich met Josef von Sternberg. Despite in her audition her Sternberg saying she couldn't act, sing nor have good looks, he cast her in The Blue Angel (Der blaue Engel) as the lead. Not only did he create the first 'Marlene Dietrich' but also embarked on an adulterous affair with her during the filming of The Blue Angel.

The Blue Angel previewed in Berlin on April 1st 1930. It was a sensation, with its release said to have gone down in movie history. On the very night of the preview she left for America, leaving husband and daughter behind, she took up a life in Hollywood. She continued to collaborate with Josef von Sternberg, her next film being the hit, Morocco. Cast as a risque cabaret singer, this film revealed her ambiguous sexuality with a night club scene showing the first kiss between two women actresses on the American film screen. 

Marlene Dietrich and daughter Maria Riva

While Morocco had great box office success, the film marked the disintegration of Sternberg and Dietrich's affair, with Sternberg's wife filing for a $500,000 law suit. Dietrich was hailed the 'love pirate' by the press and Sternberg severed ties with her both emotionally and professionally. This didn't seem, however, to have any effect on Dietrich's steam rolling success at Paramount film. She became the highest paid woman in the world, earning over $200,000 a week. By 1939 she had also become a fully fledged diva. She famously demanded a full to ceiling mirror at her sets to inspect her lighting and appearance. However, she was not the only one interested in her looks. Hitler took particular interest Dietrich, keen to preserve anything German. But Marlene had stars and strips on her mind and ignored the tempting offer to come back to Germany to be the darling of the German cinematic world. 

Despite the enormous political pressure for her to come back to Germany and the danger her mother and sister were in back in Berlin, Marlene applied for American citizenship. She considered herself a soldier, touring with American battalions entertaining and preforming to boost moral. She even traveled back to Germany with American troops, even being trapped behind enemy lines on 3 occasions. In 1945 Dietrich was made a captain in the US Army.

Morocco, starring Gary Cooper and Adolphe Menjou

Coming back from the army in 1945 she was broke, having lived on GI pay of $21 a month. On her return she took up her preforming arms again and worked feverishly like she hadn't worked before. She worked as nightclub performer mainly in Las Vegas but her one woman show also toured the world. Even at the age of 70 she was still going strong, with her shows described as being 'like a form of open magic'. 

In 1975 she fell during one of her acts and broke her leg. It marked the end of her preforming career as she was almost unable to walk. Retreating to an apartment in Paris she became a recluse and after almost 15 years of isolation she died in 1992. It is thought these years of loneliness were to preserve her fans image of her, she could not cope with thought of aging, she wanted to remain the flapper, the cabaret singer, the star.  

Jil Sander

Jil Sander (1943-) "Königin des Wenigen"

Hailed as the 'Queen of Less', Sander has been riding the fashion waves since the 60s when she founded the Jil Sander fashion house. Minimalist and edgy her pieces gained notoriety in the 80s and 90s, in her peak she had boutiques in both London's Browns and New York's Park Avenue. Since the 1999 agreement with Prada in which Prada took a 75% share in the brand, Sander's allegiance to the brand has waned. In 2009, she collaborated with the Japanese brand Uniqlo creating a line called +J, it run successfully for 3 years however 2011 saw the last collection of the line.

" Personal fashion blogs and style sites like Ilikemystyle.net, for example, are an answer to the confusion we have in fashion. " JIL SANDER

Es ist also kein Fashion-Mythos: Jogginghosen gehen heute auch bei Chanel.

Hören Sie den Podcast. Unter den Modeexperten galt sie lange Zeit als verpönt und unsexy: die Jogginhose. Doch damit ist jetzt Schluss. Der Schlabberlook hat es auf die Edel-Laufstege der Modemetropolen geschafft und plötzlich lieben Designer den Schlabberlook. DRadio-Wissen-Reporterin Sarah Tschernigow hat die Probe aufs Exempel gemacht und ist mit einer billigen Jogginghose zu Chanel gegangen.

According to fashion experts, they are frowned upon and  considered unsexy: Jogging pants. But not anymore. The 'frumpy look' has succeeded in making it to the classy catwalks of fashion capitals and suddenly designers love the baggy look. Sarah Tschernigow, a DRadio-Wissen reporter, has put this to the test, going to Chanel dressed in cheap jogging pants.

Wer eigentlich zieht Jogginhosen an? Mögliche Antworten bisher waren Couchpotatos, Bodybuilder oder Künstler wie der Rapper MC Hammer. Von dieser Vorstellung kann man sich heute getrost verabschieden. Der Schlabberlook hat Einzug gehalten bis in die höchsten Etagen der Modewelt. Selbst ein Karl Lagerfeld musste sich eines Besseren belehren lassen:

Who actually wears jogging pants? Possible answers to date have been couch potatoes, body builders or artists like Rapper MC Hammer. We can now confidently bid farewell to this conception. The baggy-look has gained entry to the highest echelons of the fashion world. Even Karl Lagerfield has had to be taught better.

"Wer eine Jogginghose trägt, hat die Kontrolle über sein Leben verloren."

Karl Lagerfeld, Modedesigner
"Whoever wears jogging pants, has lost control over their life."
Karl Lagerfield, fashion designer

Diese Aussage dürfte ihm noch öfter vorgehalten werden, schließlich schickte der Modedesigner im Fühjahr Supermodel Cara Delevigne in Paris auf den Chanel-Laufsteg - mit einer Jogginghose, rosa und durchlöchert. Die Schlabberhose bekam ein neues Image. Nur das Wort Jogginghose nehmen Labels wie Chanel dann doch nicht so gerne in den Mund. Auf Anfrage unserer Reporterin Sarah Tschernigow zur Laufstegvorführung in Paris antwortete das Unternehmen per Mail:

This statement has led him to be reproached more and more often, until finally in spring time the fashion designer sent supermodel Cara Delevigne is on the Chanel cat walk in Paris, dressed in pink, ripped jogging pants. Jogging pants got a new image. Only the word jogging pants is not liked to be uttered by labels like Chanel. 

"Sie trägt ein rosa Ensemble aus Wolle und Angora. Der Look besteht aus einem Kurzpullover mit cut-outs's und dazugehörigen Leggins, ebenfalls mit cut-out's."

"She wears a pink ensemble made of wool and angora. The look consists of a cut-out cropped pullover with corresponding cut-out leggings."

Selten wurde eine zerschnittene Jogginghose mit schöneren Worten beschrieben. Dennoch hat Chanel mit der fluffigen Hose nicht das Rad neu erfunden, denn schon in vergangenen Saisons haben Designer die Jogginghose wiederentdeckt.

Never have ripped jogging pants been described such with nice words!  However Chanel have not invented the wheel with these fluffy pants, in past seasons designers have rediscovered jogging pants.

Down Dressing schindet Eindruck

Beachtet man ein paar Dinge, dann macht die Jogginghose richtig was her und ist dazu noch ein echtes Statement. Forscher der Harvard Business School meinen sogar, dass ein solches Down-Dressing wie sie es nennen, richtig Eindruck schinden kann. Laut ihrer Studie wurde Menschen, die mit Jogginghose in eine teure Boutique gingen, ein höherer gesellschaftlicher Status zugeschrieben, als den klassischen Schicki-Micki-Kunden - denn sie strahlen aus: Ich habe es nicht nötig!

Consider a few things; what makes jogging pants a good statement. (so schwierig zu übersetzen) Researchers of Harvard  Business School even think, that such a Down-Dressing, as they call it, can really make an impression. According to their study a higher social status was attributed to people who went to expensive boutiques clad in jogging pants, than the classic jet-setter customers, because they exude the message; 'I don't need it!'

Sarah macht den Selbstversuch

Sarah gives it a go

Bekleidet mit einer hässlichen, grauen, fusseligen 20-Euro-Jogginhose von H&M hat sich unsere Reporterin Sarah Tschernigow in eine Chanel-Boutique gewagt und dazu ein passendes Designer-Teil verlangt. Die Überraschung ist groß: "Ich werde behandelt wie eine Königin", staunt sie über die freundliche und zuvorkommende Art der Verkäuferin. Anprobiert werden ein 3000 Euro teurer Tweed-Mantel, 500-Euro-Sneaker und eine 1200-Euro-Tasche. Dazu gibt es natürlich auch ein Glas Champagner und schöne Komplimente für den coolen Look von anderen Kundinnen. Es ist also kein Fashion-Mythos: Jogginghosen gehen heute auch bei Chanel.

Clad in a pair of horrible, grey, fuzzy 20 euro jogging pants from H&M, our reporter Sarah Tschernigow ventured into a Chanel-boutique and demanded a suitable designer piece. The big surprise: 'I was handled like a queen', she was stunned over the friendly and courteous manner of the shop assistant.  A 3000 euro expensive tweed coat, 500 euro sneakers and 1200 euro handbag was tried on. In addition there was of course a glass of champagne and nice compliments for the cool look from the other customers. It is no fashion myth: Jogging pants are today also going at Chanel!

No one says Aurora Borealis, you only say that. We drink Schnaps together and pretend to play a game. We hold hands in the snow, until we feel nothing more. And sometimes we wonder a little, but not to much.
