Rippchen & Kraut III

1. Cristóbal Balenciaga circa 1967
2. Marios Schwab Fall/Winter 2012
3. Valentino Fall/Winter 2012
4. Givenchy Fall/Winter 2012

My German heart feels pleased when memories of the dirndl appear. As abstract garment sculptures, laced leather versions, sexualized negligée dresses, hyper-embellished folklore costumes.

The Burberry Miu Scandal

Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2012 vs. Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2005



Presumably, the scandal series will find a new climax every season. And most probably, the cast will always feature familiar names. But in the end, that's what we love about sequels. Same same but different. And Miuccia will always win.

Solely Orientated

1. Wolfgang Tillmans Genom (2002)

2. Elmer Batters



If one thing matters, everything matters. And this one thing might be the most mundane. A fascination for the intimate and somehow absurd. Foot fetish, or, sneaks 'n' sox. As it may be called.

Horst Decoration, Issue 3

1. Kast sideboard Vitra, Tropicalia chair Moroso, Vases Olivier Gagnère
2. Sofa Moroso x Diesel, Candles Maison Martin Margiela, Lamps Tom Dixon
3. Bed frame IKEA, Wooden clogs and butterfly collection Vintage

Welcome to my sister's home. Dipped in soft bubble gum and sorbet colours. An ode to the Fifties and Sixties in hues of pink, pistachio and moss green. Op-art surfaces confronted with post-conceptual irony.

Suggestion #8

Mark Rothko painting, 1964

While wearing the Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2008 collection on Christmas eve, the perfect additional gift comes as an original Mark Rothko painting. Preferably monochromatic of course.

Little Dress Fight

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2010 vs. Alex Katz The Black Dress, 1960

Two artists in their own right. Two interpretations of one timeless classic. The uniform of the intellectual elite. The little black dress. Now available for both sexes. I'm a woman.

Best Of Miu Miu

Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2000 - Fall/Winter 2010

Women: paisley, frills, flower embroidery, pleating, plateau heels.
Men: studs, stars, ties, brooches, sandals & socks. School girls and nerds.
Apples and pears. Naughty virginity versus daring naïvety.
