Arithmetic Shift

Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2010

Boring. Refreshingly boring. Marc Jacobs and his interpretation of minimalsim. Grey uniforms of demureness. The decadence gives way to virginity. Even the most glamourous looks appear toned down.

Resigned Forces

Cheap Monday Fall/Winter 2010

Cheap Monday goes minimal for Fall/Winter 2010, almost underdesigned. Grey and black. Plain and undisrupted. It seems extreme wearability is the statement. Rebellion is so last season.

Ennui

Sunday boredom leads me to luxury window shopping. This time I didn't even recognize what was displayed in the windows. All that caught my attention was the logotype. Here in random repetition.

Vacuum

Prada Spring/Summer 2010

I don't know what to say. I am speechless. This is so boring. And I already picked the most exciting looks. Okay, there is this juxtaposition of layered textures and mesh, but spring will be a cheap season, no Prada shopping.

Zoo Of Boredom

Body painting is the new activity for boring nights with friends. Just build a circle and get naked. Well at least your hands. Who can guess which animal I would be?

P.S.: Alternatively, play shadow theatre.

Eternal Repetition

Prada & Jil Sander


Costume National & Vivienne Westwood

The black suit again and again. There is nothing wrong about it and I love it but Fall/Winter 2009 will be one of these seasons when nothing really happens. Subtle, black, save. And this is just natural/logical. We need a boring break to be shocked again in 2010 - hopefully. Until then, enjoy the replaceable.

On My Cupboard

Hedi Slimane - Intermission 1

This book is amazing. It consists of thick mirror like blocks that must be divided into seperate pages by the reader himself. Extremely haptic, breathtaking, nearly ruminant. The content is boring as hell but with such a strength and consistence that it makes you gasp.
