Straps & Strings IV

1. Lonely Hearts Lookbook
2. Unknown

Not being able to wear a bra and reveal its construction may be a temporarily hurtful deficit for the male human - as long as its principle will not establish itself in latter's wardrobe.

Post Paris XV

A false encyclopaedic guide to the menswear collections, presenting:
Issey Miyake Fall/Winter 2012

1. Heather and Ivan Morison Black Pig Lodge, 2011
2. Michael Jackson feat. Janet Jackson Scream, 1995
3. Jean Tinguely Relief Méta-Mécanique Sonore II, 1955

A collection that succeeds where others fail. The programmatic approach to texture manipulation results in a 3D pyramid layer created of multiple triangles that partly protrude with each movement and reflect not only light but aesthetic history.

Suggestion #9

Noguchi table, 1944

Life wouldn't be complete without a Japanese classic. Black triangular shapes creating the optical illusion of lightness and floatation. And always remember: the joy of giving is priceless.

Holistic Triptych

Top Guy Bourdin
Center Massimo & Lella Vignelli
Bottom Thomas Kiesewetter

Guy, Massimo and Thomas unconsciously connected via form and colour. Transmedial concepts that carry a similar notion and degree of expression. Reducing the principles of life to triangle, circle and square.

The human body is architecture. Skin is a beautiful surface. Personality a façade.

Horst loves you. A valentine homage to Helmut Lang and my beloved readers. Hopefully leaving you with imagination, tension and graphic imagery.

Beauty Mask

Cutout iterations of face masks bilding multiple triangles. Corresponding to bra shapes and broad shoulders. I am fascinated by the analogy and geometry of these images.

Triangle bra cutouts revealing porcelain skin. Feminity dramatically exposed. Strengthened by dark lipstick and opulent jewellery. The Petrarchan ideal.

There must be an explanation why triangles own such a mesmerizing strength. Is there a psychiatrist amongst our readers who could enlight us?

How beautiful. A triangle symphony. Pointy edged waistcoats and jackets creating zigzag layering. I'm quite tempted.

If I

"Hungry for life
And thirsty for the distant river
Like the scar of age
Written all over my face
The war is still raging inside of me
I still feel the chill
As I reveal my shame to you
I wear it like a tattoo"

Attachment Spring/Summer 2009

All I can say is that I love triangles. Tie pins and collar tips have been absent for too long now. Painfully long. Revived in geometric shapes, they bring back subtle glamour to menswear.

Warning: Don't look at these pictures! You might faint!

Minimalism and geometry is like Horst and sausage: Tasty. So tasty it makes your eyes flicker.

I want the Jil Sander triangle zipper shirt, and now I also want the Ute Ploier triangle blue print shirt. Gimme more, gimme more.

Brian Lichtenberg Spring/Summer 2008

I wouldn't wear it but I like looking at the pictures. And as soon as a mesh detail appears somewhere my sick 90s loving heart yells. Mesh it up!
