Intrigue, das Ränkespiel

Jean-Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 1994 & Paolo Roversi

The beautiful thing about fashion is that you will never be satisfied. Each obsession will find its continuation in another obsession. Fashion is the eternal search for perfection in that exact moment. And therefore it is fundamentally needed.

Pattern Issues

1. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2012

2. Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2008



Indeed, I felt a bit let down by the latest Raf Simons proposal. His design signature got transferred into the Jil Sander brand. And vice versa. This exchange may be a strategically intelligent thing to do. As long as it presents a relevant addition itself.

Dialogue

1. Wolfgang Tillmans Four Boots, 1992
2. Begüm Sekendiz Boré & Raf Simons at Intermission1, Berlin 2011

Face to face confrontations and the exchange of words. The fear of refusion and the warmth of sympathy. A digital projection of reality becomes reality itself. Attractions are strengthened, illusions disappear.

Artworks Christopher Russell

Standards are high. But it's lonely up there. It's a tough way. And when you look down upon the scenery you realize it's all tiny and doesn't really matter. How to loose one's demands? Tonight, I wanna be with the mountains.

Six Sketchbooks

I rediscovered my old sketchbooks. A total of 6. Full of magazine spreads, photographs, letters, concert tickets, random thoughts. It's funny to read this stuff nowadays and to see that fashion editorials haven't changed so much. The 90s are still here...
