A big Thank You! to…

This video is a declaration of love to Tocotronic and it rounds up a very nice little story:

six years ago, while Miriam was still at fashion school, she decided to dedicate her graduation project to the topic of failure. Tocotronic’s album “Kapitulation”, which was released at that time, figured as the leitmotif for this project. Miriam chose the final song of this album, “Kein Wille triumphiert”, as name sake and won several awards for her collection. She graduated and worked as a fashion designer and the years went by…When one fine day she was interviewed by the newspaper “Welt am Sonntag” and was also questioned about her graduation project. Serendipitously, Dirk von Lowtzow, Tocotronic’s frontman, read this interview and didn’t hesitate to write us an email, suggesting a cooperation – How cool is that? We. Are. CHUFFED!
