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.

A Short History Of Stripes In Popular Culture

The narrow black and white prison stripe: Although an iconic pattern, the regular, almost mathematic formation seems underrepresented and undocumented. Most probably due to its restrictions in optical reproduction. I'd like to propose it as eternal substitute for plaid.

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.

Death

2. Hedi Slimane still life & Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2011

I've never understood the fascination for it. I am afraid of death. Who can take this fear away? Or is this even possible? Men in leopard skirt shorts might be a consolatory beginning.

Ink Survey

As long as I don't hear any protest, the promotion of war painted bodies will proceed. I am curious: Who really is tattooed? Whose skin is showing indigenous artworks? Whose back is decorated by a slag tag?

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.

All the good things in life will return. And piercings are definitely ready for the eclectic post-postmodern decade of the 00s. The advanced between us choose a peace or a yin & yang sign for their ear decoration.

Best Of Hedi Slimane

His portraits are from purest beauty, but the texture shots and still lifes are beyond. I don't need more than glittering tar, bubble wrap and patterns in endless repetition. Okay, maybe a little bit of naked skin.

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?

Who's That Girl

First thought: Wow, a girl posing for the Prada menswear campaign.
Second thought: Wait, it's not a girl, it's a boy.
Third thought: Ingenious.

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.
