Digitally Remastered
Laitinen Spring/Summer 2011
Jackets and waistcoats with detachable kilts. Washed raindeer leather pants with side lacings. Digitally printed shirts with a double layered hem. And finally, the reintroduction of the sarong, loosely knot around the waist. With these offerings, Anna and Tuomas Laitinen continue in transforming their signature into reworked concepts of manhood.

Acknowledgment Of Gratitude
Crinkled shirt Ana Hernández-Cornet
Flip sunglasses Asger Juel Larsen
A declaration of love to the determination and devotedness of two outstanding design personalities. Both adding relevance to a system called fashion and creating self-reflected identity with every garment.

170 BPM
Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2011
My first thought: Techno. Extreme flares, tight cycling shorts and pencil skirts. White, pink and lemon. Impregnated T-shirts, shiny tops and sleeveles jackets. I'm a late 90s teenager again.

Time After Time
Gaspard Yurkievich Spring/Summer 2011
As simple and crude it may sound: I love Gaspard. Almost every collection finds my laudatory commentary. And I am convinced again. 'Yes' to utility backpacks, suits with baseball caps and layered shorts.

Velum Vellum
Artworks Paul Cadmus
I always felt attracted to magic realism. How the clothes cover the bodies like a second skin. Only appearing as an alibi for nudity and eroticism. But also adding an ease, lightness and vulnerability.

Scintillation Study
Top Lilly Heine
Bottom Victor Vasarely
A glance into the archives of much vaunted CSM graduate Lilly Heine. Irritating views onto an intangible subject, cut out of paper. Inspired by 60s op-art, the result leaves the viewer with doubts about reality.

The best thing about Milan Fashion Week surely is the swimming trunks part. As my mission to turn into a proper Chelsea boy proceeds, I have to prepare myself for the pool and beach season. The perfect tricot briefs are pictured above, beautifully staged in a Herbert List manner.

Emergency Room
Prada Spring/Summer 2011
Ill-fitting shirts reminiscent of scrubs, oversized and flat. Neon coloured sunglasses worn around the neck instead of a stethoscope. Miuccia's man is a cosmetic surgeon. And I'd like my chin and cheekbones done.

Mind Candy
Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 2011
Welcome to the fetish club. Finally Milan plays its strength. Delivering delicate offerings for the next summer season. Armani more and more follows a change of direction. Much to our amusement.

Honest Proposal
Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2011
In fact, nothing is nicer than the urgent impulse to write about something. The need to show and discuss it. Or to praise it. I always believed in the Calvin Klein man. And I never got disappointed. So, will you marry me?

Precisionism
Artworks Charles Demuth
These paintings evoke the melody of The Girl from Ipanema in my head. Resounding in a crispy tone from a portable record player at the beach. Replacing the lyrics and overall context into The Boys from Ipanema.
