Art Department: Luis Perez Jauregui

Artworks Luis Perez Jauregui

Luis Perez Jauregui creates character transformations. Consequently, the artist's self-portrait becomes an anti-self-portrait. Still, his body of work comprises a multiplicity of his very own, characteristic personae. I asked him to create a piece for the Art Department series.

He concludes: 'In my opinion, the aesthetic of Lynn & Horst is very clean and minimal, with a dark provocative side to it, so I wanted to create a character that best represented that. The harness is something I made myself specially for this character. It was inspired by the art of S&M and rope bondage. Instead of rope though, I used a strand of metallic beads to transform an otherwise simple harness into something more modern.'

Poignant Surrender

1. 'Helmut Lang 10 Year Tribute' by Terry Richardson for Arena Homme +
2. Yves Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2012
3. 'Andi Loves Me Not' by Mark Rabadan

You got chain mail. Stefano Pilati presumably sent us the softest translation of a very hard idea. Thus submitting his final offer of seduction. The heartbreaking conclusion of a never-ending fight for acceptance and acknowledgement.

Nudist Camp V

1. Jared French The Double, circa 1950
2. Steven Klein Games and Restrictions, 2008
3. DSquared Fall/Winter 2010 campaign

Obscene pool scenes and the exposed pale male. The thewy object of public stare. Interestingly, the voyeuristic composition always includes rails or poles. We leave any interpretation to the beholder and recommand a closer look at this reproduction.

Welcome to the fetish club. Finally Milan plays its strength. Delivering delicate offerings for the next summer season. Armani more and more follows a change of direction. Much to our amusement.

2006

Gaspard Yurkievich Spring/Summer 2006

2000 - 2009 is the era of homo-eroticism. The fetish of leather, bondage and short shorts. The man remaining an object of lust. Dressed and undressed.

Hero Worship

Part 9: Cher




She shares birthday with little Horsti, so she must be loved eternally. If anyone wants to make me really happy, book her for my birthday party. By the way: Her real name is Cherilyn Sarkisian. Isn't this absolutely beautiful?

History

Combine top and bottom and you have sexual eruption. Chains and stripes. Globes and legs. Sparkle and white.

Waistcoat Vintage
Vest Acne Jeans
Jeans Cheap Monday

My new haircut. And my new waistcoat. I start to like both. I feel very Moschino. Very late 80s, early 90s. And everyone who wants to be close to my heart will have to give me a button. From now on.

Klingon I

People always ask me: Horst, what is IN, what is OUT? So my very secret prediction is: Klingon Fashion. It's the next step after Rick Owens and Nina Ricci. It's the only logic conclusion. Red leather, cleavage and chains. Believe me.

Trauma

Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2010

Ok, so now I have to get personal: When I was a little boy, I draw my wedding outfit. And well, this is exactly what Ann designed for Spring/Summer 2010. The chain harness wasn't included in my sketches back in the days but it's a nice addition, non?

P.S.: And finally a collection that looks like summer.

Hardcore Vibes

Jaiden rVa James Fall/Winter 2008

Jaiden James really pushes boundaries. Floral skirts and bondage gear, masks and chains. The phantasies get wild, abstruse and frenetic. Flirtatious games to the extreme.

Brigitte In Chains

I am abnormally in love with her. It's a fascination that continuously grows with every picture I find. She's the boss. So this is my christmas gift for you.
