The Craft III

1. Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2010
2. Jamie Hawkesworth for Hero Magazine
3. Bernhard Willhelm Spring/Summer 2012
4. Bruno Staub for i-D Magazine
5. Dior Spring/Summer 2001
6. D&G Fall/Winter 2011

From graffiti (part I) to typography (part II) to text collages. The assemblage of the recycled remains of our culture. Fragmented quotes, multiplied deranged messages. Copy and paste till death will tear us apart.

White Lace Fight

Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Lace underwear

Take a Dolce & Gabbana collection, divide and transform its elements into men's underwear. Lace. Leopard. Crystals. Cutouts. Conservatism and liberality. It's wrong, it's beautiful.

Suggestion #1

Diamonds & Pearls: Dolce & Gabbana, 2008

This certain time of the year has come. Presenting: the most coveted pieces. Preferably wrapped in expensive glitter paper. Awaiting the warm touch of my hands. Staged under a white plastic christmas tree.

One reason to love twitter: Now we know Mariano Vivanco will publish a new Dolce & Gabbana book soon. And he is kind enough to provide us with a little teaser.

Alpha Male

D&G Spring/Summer 2008
Spring/Summer 2007 & Spring/Summer 2010
Spring/Summer 2003 & Spring/Summer 2007

There it is again: My surrender to D&G. Hidden in a dark corner of my mind. Barbie Fashion for men. Ken Fashion so to speak. Maybe we all want to be a bit of Ken? Except one particular detail of his anatomy.

Norwegian Wood

D&G Fall/Winter 2010

I seriously liked D&G. Knitted jumpsuits with Nordic patterns. Furry monster boots. Glitter safety helmets. But maybe it's just the image above that manipulated my subconscious mind.

Obeisance

Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2010

This collection is quite amazing, isn't it? One may think whatsoever about Dolce & Gabbana, but there must be a serious reason that even Horst surrenders and admits his appreciation.

Space Suit

Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2007

Another Dolce & Gabbana moment, je regrette. But I think I have to act out my fascination for the embodiment of Italian tackiness. Keep a stiff upper lip until it's over.

Female Indulgence

A fine luxurious selection of memorable campaigns featuring mysterious, vulnerable and androgynous female protagonists.

Change Of Mind

Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2009

I have a Dolce & Gabbana moment. If anyone would like to share it with me and coincidentally has the Diamonds and Pearls book, your gift is more than welcome. Oh, and the gloves headpiece is quite something.

History II

Two boys making out, one wearing platform sneakers. D&G becomes the epitome of sensual seduction. Who would've ever guessed.

Art Department: Mario Zoots

Collage Mario Zoots

The multi-faceted collage work of Mario Zoots marks the start of a new L&H series. Artist from all over the world and beyond will contribute to the lipstick and the sausage with exclusive artworks. Mr. Zoots catches the eye with porn and fashion magazine assemblages. Haptic works of layered tackiness and crystal bling leopard love.

Kitten Love VIII

This is a contemporary classic, a stand-alone piece. The cuteness factor is unreachable high. This picture even makes me like D&G for a second. Will Chalker and the baby tiger - and a modelling career took off.

Kitten Love VI

Naomi in Dolce & Gabbana, a 90s muscle hunk and Heidi in bondage on the floor, welcome to the world of Kitten Love.

Zebra Phantasy

Picture Dolce & Gabbana

How nice would it be to run with zebras in zebra print trousers. Is there something more beautiful?
