When Did We Forget About Black Minimalism III

1. Margaret Howell Clash Magazine editorial
2. Michael Landy Fresh Hell

I always loved the horizontal fragmentation of the human corpus. Neck, chest, waist and arms, all divided into separate structured parts. A black turtleneck, a belted waist, a pulled-up sleeve.

Beltium

1. Ann Demeulemeester Fall/Winter 2011
2. Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2006

The next thing I want is a cummerbund. And I wanna wear it everyday. Sometimes I wish life was a fashion editorial. And everyone would just dare to wear their heart on the outside.

Pristine Era

Hermès Fall/Winter 1998 - 2003

Interestingly, Martin Margiela has been working with Hermès from 1998 to 2004. It allows us to witness his approach to tailoring before the essential act of deconstruction. The graphic sartorialist.

Balenciaga Questions II

1. Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2006
2. Christopher Kane Fall/Winter 2010

Strictly speaking, we do not see a mere copy here. Instead, ornamental flower arrangements in white, blue and yellow are substitues for graphic compositions in white, blue and yellow.

Reclaim

Tim Hamilton Fall/Winter 2010

A proclamation of reduction and form. Dedicated to the purest definitions of feminine and masculine. Subtly shifting this fine line and creating a focused image of women. Architectural and statuesque.

Thieves and Liars

Turtleneck Raf Simons
Trousers Carin Wester
Cap MTWTFSS

I'm on the mission to re-establish the turtleneck. I find it highly attractive yet intellectual. A look that instantly creates the deep inner desire to break into a museum and steal a diamond or any other precious, rare and much sought-after art piece.

Longitude

Akris Spring/Summer 2010

Lately, it is a full-length dress that I find most appealing. In fact, everything full-length is attractive.

Conquest

T-Shirt Second Hand
Jeans JULIAANDBEN

It is one thing to like Lady GaGa, but another to love Shania Twain. It is a true statement. Demanding high self-confidence, strength and indolence. Qualities that Horst incorporates by nature.

P.S.: Please notice that Shania is wearing a cropped leopard print turtleneck.
