Obviously

1. Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2012
2. Helmut Lang Halloween T-Shirt 2003

A tribute by Raf to Helmut. Bold letters indicating the product's exact chronological and cultural context. A numeric catalogue entry. I want every single piece from that collection.

Fox Tales

Jeremy Scott Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Prada Spring/Summer 2011

When the idea of pop is completely understood. When references are sucked in, chewed up and spit out again. When copying is allowed. Then, we don't have another scandal, we just witness a postmodern quote.

Homeless Chic

Simon Rasmussen Spring/Summer 2011

Fantastic Simon Rasmussen presented his first collection. An eclectic recycling of random materials and graphic references, also quoting Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's teddy bear coat worn by supermodel Helena Christensen in the heart-breakingly amusing film Prêt-à-Porter. An exquisit example for Recession Couture.

Prada Spring/Summer 2003 vs. Athletes

Yes, I am obsessed with former Prada collections. It's my most favourite archive for cross-reference and visual quotation. A timeless compendium of style and exhilarant perspectives.

Henrik Vibskov vs. Bernhard Willhelm

It's really intriguing how similar the designs are when compared side by side. But maybe that's why I love them both so much. It's their unstoppable will to take a risk and to melt beauty with bad taste. Tell me who's the winner...

Give me a P!

Once Style of the Day, Peter Jensen deserves a full story. The weirdness and creativity of his designs for men and women truly convinces me.





Peter Jensen Spring/Summer 2008

Never too serious, always experimenting and questioning the definition of wearability. Let's all wear Peter Jensen!

New S2VS

S2VS Fall/Winter 2008

Sean William Salim is back on track with a very referential and working class inspired collection. Rough vs. clean. Past vs. future.
