The Craft V

1. Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2012
2. Moschino Fall/Winter 2012

I am a little bit in love with the fact that my projections turned out quite right. Two examples of re-establishing graffiti, and oneself. A splendid specimen of crafted naïvety. Congratulation to Gijs Frieling.

Gaultier Questions

1. Jean-Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 1991
2. Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2009

For this series, the pairing of images does not implicate the process of replication, duplication or copying. Rather, it identifies related ideas and their processing into connatural garments. Thoughts?

Evolution

1. Christopher Kane Spring/Summer 2012

2. Lebbeus Woods Radical Reconstruction, 1997

3. Roderick Hietbrink The Others, 2011



Interstellar clouds have been replaced by dystopian tube structures. The living organism covered in metallic stretch velvet. In an absurd surrounding, the ironic remains. Survival of the fittest.

Pyjama Party

Acne Spring/Summer 2012



Since my latest photo booth experiment with pink velour pants, I am in the mood for a sleepover. Preferably Blair Waldorf style with candy cotton, popcorn machine and boytoy servants.

Miusing Escher

1. Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2010
2. M. C. Escher Untitled (No. 126)

Quite obvious and still unnoticed. It recalls a childhood memory of mine. Filling out a whole paper with animals. Each outline complementing the other and creating yet unseen creatures. Escher lies within us.

Hunk Arena III

Top Leigh Lezark in Chanel Fall/Winter 2009
Bottom Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2010

Advanced wrestling suits. For the eternal gender fight. You'll have to scream if you want this series to stop. But in this game No means Yes. And Yes means No. Till nobody wins. Till the world ends.

Magazine Hero

For the third and yet most striking issue of Hero Magazine, ornamental Versace silk shirts clash with sports equipment and softdrink refreshment accessories. There is something very stimulative about this head to toe look.

In Sync

Photo Stylesightings

I really fancy this old school, Laura Ashley meets the Netherlands, all-over print. Styled to perfection with chest hair respectively kitten mask and nice plateau heels.
