I've kept it to myself for quite a while now, but the psychological pressure got too intense. I cannot deny nor hold it back any longer. The hood is back. Floral paisley for her, apocalyptic protection for him.

Laced Up

1. Gucci Spring/Summer 1996

Once you wear tribal, taking the next step does only seem logical. Now I want a laced front top. Just as proclaimed by the male shopping mall discount mainstream. Any suggestions?

An Open Letter To Frida Giannini

Gucci Spring/Summer 2003 - Spring/Summer 2005

The essence of the house of Gucci becomes manifest in one recurrent garment. The silk kimono. With Tom Ford leaving Gucci in 2004, also the men's robe disappeared. Herewith I kindly request a revival.

2. Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2002

A little Gucci x Jean Paul Gaultier moment on a friday night can never do wrong. Back cleavage is regrettably underrated. And has mostly been considered a fashion faux-pas. Which is a faux-pas itself.

If life just was a Guccci by Testino campaign. Luckily, Prada brought back the glitter. And hopfully Shirtology will return and bring back the thong. Who's gonna wear it for me?

Cavalli Fall/Winter 2003 & Versace Spring/Summer 2003

I actually do miss Barbie Fashion. I wanna see tacky girls in metallic pink bell-bottoms, big 3-Wetter-Taft hair, fake fur and mini skirts. Now that we've learned to dress in black draped pieces by Haider Ackermann and Ann Demeulemeester we should have a quick shopping spree in a suburban super mall.

Male Indulgence

A fine luxurious selection of memorable campaigns featuring undressing, half-naked and nude male protagonists.

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.
