A big Thank You! to…

Tobias Knipf and Thorsten Harms created this amazing little film starring Avianna McKee and Mathias Hartmann. Thanks to Natalie Rexygel for Hair and Makeup and Thomas Süßmaier for the sound editing. You guys rock!

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!

Information on the shirt:

Yukio Edano is the face of the disaster succession in Japan after the Tsunami, which came before the television cameras every hour to admit new evidence in the case of Fukushima.  The statements he made were mostly not particularly informatory or understandable and have often contradicted.
Throughout the information overload Edano often appeared a little lost and gave the impression as if he himself knew no longer what the truth is .
On the hangtag of the T-shirts a number of links is listed,  which illustrates the absurdity of his performances.

Through the SCHAAF online store, only items hand made in Germany are going to be sold: The customer gets his chosen item in his size plus a personal guidance by Miriam Schaaf, if one wishes to.
