Narcissistic Renaissance II

Sleeveless shirt Dior Homme

A fine selection of out-takes from the Narcissistic Renaissance series. Remanent material, left for revelation. There's always more that you haven't seen. There's gotta be.

Laced Up II

1. Sleeveless top Dior Homme
2. Mannequin Jean Paul Gaultier

Another photo booth experiment. While my lower body disappears, the torso becomes a tribute to the year 1990. Hedi Slimane, Jean Paul Gaultier and Horst become one. At least for this very moment.

Splatter

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2002

Hedi Slimane ten years ago. So modern still. And so desirable again. Everything I need is a white sleeveless shirt and a pair of black skinny trousers. And this is all. Always forever.

Narcissistic Renaissance describes a movement that uses virtual means and reproduction methods to document the re-discovery of ancient iconographic imagery. Furthermore, the sculpturing process is achieved through the self-reflective lense of photo booth.

Nuclear Whiteness

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2012

Once ahead our time... when we live in underground bunkers, artificial brutalist spaces made of concrete, furnished with leather and Persian carpets. Sleeveless will become the uniform. Tribal tattoos will indicate the social rank.

Cliff Hanger

1. Comme des Garçons x Speedo
2. 1950s Vintage
3. Dior Homme

I am currently undergoing a fixation for speedos. Black, tight, minimalist. Comme des Garçons, Dior Homme or, obviosuly, Speedo. Who will advice and guide me to the best package?

Slit II

1. Karim Sadli
2. Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2011 Backstage

It has only been lately that I've realized the beauty of a male torso's side. A view that is rarely being shared or descried. Therefore, I kindly solicit its more frequent appearance.

Male Ideal

Dior Homme Fall/Winter 2001 & 2002

Erase and rewind. 10 years back to the slender and skinny. A radical image of masculinity, slowly being forgotten and replaced by the hunk. Let's be this again. Wearing sleeveless shirts, dipped in metaphoric glitter.

Plastic Surgery

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2011

The male body as an object of proportion. Divided. Extremeties opposed in relation. The arm, the musculus biceps brachii as the centre of asymmetric divergence. Fabrics and mind are taken away, then replaced again.

Schuhwerk

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2010

Just a short side note that I would highly appreciate the future possession of these boots.

Thermal Conditioning

Dior Homme Fall/Winter 2007

I quite adore the layering of this collection. Heavy knit cuffs, waistcoats, loose tapered trousers, overlong sleeves. This is how I like to dress. This is who I want to be.

Clear-Sightedness

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2010

I might have a slight aversion to Kris van Assche but I have to admit my adoration of his x-ray jackets and short-sleeved coats for Spring/Summer 2010. Simulating an insight view while not hiding the details of construction.

Remember The Time

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2009

These are amazingly ugly and great at the same time. Golden jeans with massive jewels. Remind me of a supersized plastic saphire ring that I had as a child. Memories of relevance.

These Were The Days

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2006 Ad Campaign

When Hedi Slimane was Dior Homme the fits were right, the campaigns were right, the feeling was right. I'm still dreaming of a skinny tight Dior suit with cropped legs. Can someone please order me a 44 from Spring/Summer 2006?
