As much as they resemble teleportation rings, these oblong structures are merely creatures of architectural ingenuity – vertical air passageways in the knock-out hotel that is generously hosting us in Łódz. Although, it does seem like there was a fair amount of teleportation involved in getting Jen and Kit over to Poland; 2 months of long-distance skyping and all of a sudden we were sprawled on the floor in a train heading towards Łódz (prounounced Oodge) – the city of Polish Fashion Week. By 3pm we washed up at the doorsteps of Andel’s Hotel after a morning of relentless travel – both Kit and Jen having flown in in the morning; but it wasn’t necessarily the exhaustion that kept us drifting in the corridors instead of swimming straight out into the fashion week crowd. A former-textile mill factory, the space computes to about 7,900m² in lot size, complete with unexposed bricks, loft rooms and art installations adorning the corners of the halls. Do I even have to explain why it’s so appealing? Londoners go mental for conversion units, I used to live in an amazing Victorian school conversion in East London 2 years ago and spotted hopeful new tenants waiting in a U-Haul van whenever I left the house to dispose of garbage. NOT YET OKAY?
The primary reason we’re here is for the fashion week, but honestly speaking, once we’ve dipped our feet in the rooftop pool I don’t think we’ll care much for the outside world. Just saying.
Okay, now I require macaroons. Lots and lots. And teleportation stairs…

Perhaps I’m the only one that thinks they look particularly burger-like. Or it’s subconsciously the fault of the packaging?
Yours is my favorite fashion blog.

Hi!
I absolutely adore your blog. Your photos are fascinating! I would ask you, what type of camera do you use?
Thanks for answer.
Have a nice day.
You always share such fantastically interesting photo’s… You must live in an amazing loft too… You need to put up a sign that shares your words simply….”NOT YET!
Have a great day!
Oh wow you guys look like you’re having the best time! The hotel is amazing and that shot of Kit leaning on the balcony is soooo adorable. Did Kit actually bring a jar of Marmite in the end? That nutter :P
Tried to write a comment but don’t think it went through…anyways! Love these pictures and your hotel sounds AMAZING! The photo of Kit leaning on the balcony is too cute, did she actually bring Marmite to Poland in the end haha? She’s definitely nutty. You guys are having so much fun, enjoy the rest of the fashion week there!!
