CHAD VISIT TO McCARTHY "THE EDGE OF ALASKA"













We might all know McCarthy, Alaska from the Discovery Channel series "The Edge of Alaska". This remote town at the foot of Wrangell Mountains is 100 miles plus away from the closest police station.
Last year I spent my vacation in the beautiful state of Alaska and high on my list was a visit to McCarthy. It was a challenge to reach the town via the dirt road and the small bridges. We had a stop in Chenile, which is a town with just 2 streets, 3 houses and some left behind A-Fords. McCarthy is slightly bigger. With an airstrip, a restaurant and a hotel called Ma Johnson. From McCarthy you walked a dirt road for 4,5 miles to Kennicott Mines. The abandoned mine is now a National Park, from here you have some great views of the surroundings and you breath how it was in the old days at the Last Frontier.

SCOTCH & SODA - DUTCH PRIDE @ NYFW 2016











For its debut at New York Fashion Week, Scotch & Soda hosted a presentation featuring astronomic maps projected on the ceiling, movie shorts, and live musical performances. Creative director Marlou van Engelen infused the women’s and men’s collections with a youthful mood that reflected free-spirited references, from folk to bohemian

For men, the nomadic inspirations blended well, from a folkloric handmade colorful poncho to a quilted Japanese-inspired kimono and cargo pants with floral embroidery details. Today’s globetrotter fashionista will feel right at home in this well-executed collection.
