The Craft V

1. Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2012
2. Moschino Fall/Winter 2012

I am a little bit in love with the fact that my projections turned out quite right. Two examples of re-establishing graffiti, and oneself. A splendid specimen of crafted naïvety. Congratulation to Gijs Frieling.

The Craft II

1. Maison Martin Margiela
2. Raf Simons
3. Robert Mapplethorpe
4. Comme des Garçons backstage

From graffiti to typography. The writings on the wall. White paint on black cloth. Explicit depictions of the purpose of a garment. Time to say something, time to answer, time to comment.

Shopping Bag Fight

Moschino Cheap & Chic Fall/Winter 2010 vs. Tim Eitel 'Asphalt'

Mass consumption, kitsch and Neue Leipziger Schule. Unreflected gossip girl mentality versus social criticism? Status symbols versus irony? Besides all speculations and interpretations: What counts in the end is that you can wear your shopping bag as a hat this fall!

Negotiations

The gender challenge implies more than high heels, skirts and dresses. It demands intangible sense of style. And I haven't seen a guy wearing earrings more confident and manly. At Moschino, it's a save deal.

Floral Drape Fight

Moschino Spring/Summer 2010 vs. Frida Kahlo

Synapses create beautiful image layers in my mind's eye. And in this case, the similarities are surreal.

High Gloss

Jói Kjartans & Moschino Fall/Winter 2001

Moschino has always been far ahead of its time. Maybe a little bit too far ahead. One might confuse their 2001 menswear collection with the product range of next corner's sex shop, but this is high fashion. And Horst loves it.

Waistcoat Vintage

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.
