Gaultier Questions VI

1. Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2011
2. Jean-Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 1989

Two women. Greedy eyes resting upon them. Their beautiful faces framed by streamlined ski hats. Both accompanied by the provoking touch of gloss. Who are they? Where are they going? What is their origin?

Balenciaga Saltlakrits

Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2011

Looking at a Balenciaga collection is like eating a chocolate bar. Slowly chewing every bit. Discovering pieces of caramelised hazelnuts and tender swirls of caramel. This time its flavour is salty liquorice.

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.

Concentration Deficit

The Local Firm Spring/Summer 2010

Loose knit, high gloss pants and jackets, some strap bondage and as a TLF tradition: urban tribe symbolism. Nothing new, nothing bad. But I am missing a little bit of edge.
