Spruced_MyStyle_Charlotte1

James and I met Charlotte the same day we met each other – first day of university in 1999. Yes, 1999. For those of you who are bad at math: that’s approximately 150 years ago. We shared a flat in halls with three others and the six of us fast became friends. Fate seems too [...]

“Yes!” That’s what I thought when I first saw the wedding dress in Verena von Pufendorf’s studio.

Spruced_MyStyle_AlexaPortrait

I first met Alexa when I was preparing a story about women who love a piece of clothing so much, they buy it over and over again – true collectors. Alexa loves white blouses. After I finished the story, I decided: I’ll have to come back one day and take pictures of the other clothes [...]

If I could raid anyone’s shoe closet, it would be Elisabeth’s. There are the Chloé ankle boots, the Isabel Marant pumps, the Alaia booties, the Porselli ballerinas.

I have known Aaron for more than ten years. I cannot remember ever seeing him in anything that looked bad. In fact, it’s the opposite. Every time I see him, I think how much easier it is for men to be well-dressed.

  • SHOP fashion by James Castle

    A lot of the fashion you can see on this blog was designed and custom-made by James. Did you know that you can buy these pieces from him? Well, you can!

    Maybe you like the clutch (as seen in ZEITMagazin and OK! Magazine). Or one of the other bags from his collection (as seen in InStyle). But maybe what you're really after is a tailored jacket. He makes jackets, suits and shirts for both men and women.

    Just as he can make almost any piece of clothing you would like tailored just for you. To make an appointment in his Berlin studio or to make an order send an email to
