Desired #6

Multi-strap Ankle Boots Ann Demeulemeester

Lately, I love any shoe with excessive detailing. Multi-strapped, multi-laced, multi-embellished. Heavy foot gear devoted to the useless decoration, the Antikraft in a minimalist wardrobe.

Desired #5

Glass Carafe Ittala

Everyone who has watched The Housemaid will understand why it is a necessity to use a decanter when enjoying a bottle of red wine. Its meaning lies within the word itself: decanter, a guide to decadence.

Desired #4

Reptile Briefcase Comme des Garçons

Although the concept of having a briefcase attracts me, I haven't found the exact purpose for it yet. Their appearance just causes an instant urge to hold, touch and own them. Maybe someone could help me out.

Desired #3

Desired #1

Asymmetric Sweater Lanvin

Time for the annual and holy Horst Christmas wishlist. It is not only meant as a vague indication for anyone feeling close or wanting to feel close, it is also a blunt commandment. Please me.

Unfinished

Collage and text Horst

My contribution to a collaborative art publication that may never become reality: PARFUM Mag. Initiated by Victor Antonio, the surrealist tradition of cadavre exquis became alive once again. For my part, I created a fake perfume advertisement poem.

Fin

Artworks & Portrait Victor Antonio

The most genius, mesmerizing and capricious beings often leave us too early, too soon. I am happy to have met this wonderful person and being virtually connected through late night talks, the exchange of surrealist poems and visionary thoughts.

2. Issey Miyake Spring/Summer 2004
3. Arena Homme + No. 20 Autumn/Winter 2003

Gazette

A photo booth tribute: John Galliano

















Snakeskin trousers & iPad case John Galliano

Printed versus digital media. The written word. The praise, the critique, the sentence. The infamous Gazette print, the Gothic letter G. And when all whisper has ceased, iconic collections remain.

Triple Effect

Versace vs. Giuliano Fujiwara

2. João Figueiredo Sensual Hollow
3. Frida Kahlo The Broken Column

Horst Decoration, Issue 5

1. Marble chair Marc Newson, Prickly Lamp Lucy McRae
2. Plexiglass table Pierre Cardin, Painting Alberto Abate
3. Chain carpet Adrien Rovero

Welcome to my irrational dream home. Where gravitation is inexistent and proportions are abandoned. A 4-dimensional place occupied by flying chain rugs and supersized furniture insects. Visitors become surrealist paintings once they find themselves lost within the myriad corridors and staircases.

Girl Panic

Duran Duran - Girl Panic! 2011

Fashion with a capital F. Hardcore product placement. Schizophrenic supermodels. Jonas Åkerlund has combined the über-kitsch and mega-decadent. Pop. And everything is alright.
