Misanthropist



Dr. Martens 50th Anniversary Edition

Yes, Mr. Horst desires a pair of Dr. Martens. They would go incredibly well with his short platinum blonde hair, black Raf Simons clothes and appetite for destruction.

Hero Worship

Part 11: Tony Ward




Photos Ken Haak, Steven Klein, Deborah Anderson, Miguel Reyes, Paul Goebel

In this case, I have to use superlatives. Tony Ward is the sexiest man alive. The self-acclaimed anti model devotes himself completely to a picture. And his body of work is impressive. Every detail of it.

Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2010 vs. Cotton candy

Portable Device




Gaspard Yurkievich Fall/Winter 2010

I think I need a backpack. Preferably Gaspard Yurkievich for Eastpak. A collection that also intrigued with colour blocking, reversed trousers and graphic jackets. A rucksack just goes incredibly well with a nice sharp suit. Don't you agree?

Ennui II







As sequal to my luxury logo series, a blurred stalker view on the people of London. Their hidden secrets, affairs and suspicious business. What else to do on an 1h bus ride?

Bulletproof






Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2010

This collection doubtlessly has to be mentioned. It is outstanding. And above all non-referential. I'd almost like to compare it with an atomic core. Constituting its strength from nothing but itself.

Token Of Esteem





Scarf Juun J.
Jacket Vintage
Sweater Helmut Lang

This scarf braved the elements and a merciless winter. Saturated with my favourite scent it remorselessly fought against minus degrees. As the warmer days arise, this wonderful Juun J. weapon has to be honoured with a photo booth homage.

Contemporary Classics




Céline Spring/Summer 2010

Yes, it is nice to wallow in future seasons and collections. But also very refreshing to just focus on the now. Therefore, I recommend women of today to enrich their wardrobe with a piece of Céline. Maybe the best choice this season.

Lyrical Abstraction



Artworks Hans Hartung

The works of Hans Hartung perfectly capture the German psyche. An identity that is marked by sensuality and intuition, contrasted by a sharp analytic approach and a strict concept of form, shape and proportion. Accurate expressions of the inconceivable.

Dis Patch



Campaign Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 1997

The black eye patch actually feels very elegant to me, almost comparable to a cummerbund. It evokes connotations of an adventurous past and grown-up lifestyle. The man who survived inhumanity.

Thermal Conditioning




Dior Homme Fall/Winter 2007

I quite adore the layering of this collection. Heavy knit cuffs, waistcoats, loose tapered trousers, overlong sleeves. This is how I like to dress. This is who I want to be.

Antagonism





Lilly Heine Graduate collection

To do her justice and worship the exquisit craftsmanship, Lilly Heine's CSM graduate collection in full beauty. Most remarkable is the fragility that has been achieved by superposing severe geometric shapes. Multiplication and an exuberant use of fabric that translate into minimalist garments. In this case, more is less.

Nude Feminity Fight



Lilly Heine Graduate collection vs. Tit scarf

By building up multiple layers of lasercut wool crepe, Lilly Heine creates three-dimensional shapes of severe precision. Literally adding a new dimension to textile technology. I can hear Prada knocking on her door.
