Boobarella

1. Hussein Chalayan Fall/Winter 2009

From lederhosen to dirndl. From leather pants to leather shell bras. i guess I'll just have to accept the fact that I like leather in any context. Luckily I can compensate this with my appetite for art.

Good to see that my fashion sense was already fairly developed as a child. Dressing in cardboard boxes and toilet paper rolls. More people should see him as a role model and follow this high fashion example.

Complication & Abstraction

Artworks Joan Miró

Chaos and its antithesis. A few and a million strokes. Either I am confused. Or enlighted. But I am slowly finding access to the genius of waiting room art. What reminds me to book a dentist appointment.

Sobriety

Marni Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Man Ray Seguidilla 1919

After seeing run over animals in the latest Roberto Cavalli collection and suffering Vodka hangover, my mind seeks and finds calmness in a subtle composition. And now I want these shoes.

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.

Neue Sachlichkeit

Artworks Christian Schad

The reference piece for my most beloved fashion obsession: A man in a sheer shirt hiding an undressed woman. Transparency covering nudity. His chesthair referring to her sexuality.
