Vacant Manifestation

Furniture Rick Owens

Moving day is approaching and I realized 'I have nothing'. Therefore, I'll pursue the brutalist way and built a neverending temporary installation with clothes, books and magazines.

Perplexions

A false encyclopaedic guide to fashion history, presenting:
Alexander van Slobbe Spring/Summer 1999

1. Céline Fall/Winter 2011
2. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2012
3. Darren Coffield 'Episodical' 2010

A boyish face. Sleek, wet hair groomed into a perfectly gentle, curly wave. A sleeveless vest. Bare arms uncovering the shadows of muscular anatomy. A photo-realistic print. This boy is carrying wood.

Nomadic Couple

Artworks Christopher Wierling



A fragile addition to our investigation on twins in contemporary art. Flowers attached on parallel strings. Leading to and embedded in mirrored blocks of concrete.

Eternal Rivalry

Céline Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Arjan Janssen

I'll have to admit: she did it again. Women become a piece of art. The kind of art that will remain for decades. Decent garments with relevance that won't seek visual competition with their wearer.

Wooden Veneer Fight

Rodarte Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Bavarian balcony

Absolutely loved this collection. Carvings on planks as dresses. One cannot deny a certain resemblance to the traditional Bavarian balcony. Or the typical yet brutal wall systems Germans are so fond of. But yes, bad childhood memories can be transformed into renewed contexts of beauty.

Octagon Hexagon

Pendant Kris van Assche

Embossed letters. Symmetry. Material. Hardware and sensuality. If I wore accessories I would be tempted to acquire this piece. If I owned an empty gallery space I would be willing to place this object.

Carving Board

Maison Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2011

A reinforced laminate waistcoat. An example of artisanal craftsmanship. Clear evidence and perfect proof for the MMM ethos: redefinition of materials and calculated misappropriation.

A Lie

Photos Jose Javier Serrano, Mark Marco

Mirror-inverted interior fantasies. The raw and the clean. Opposites attract. And I can assure you, I know what I am talking about.

Flesh

Artworks Suzannah Sinclair

Seemingly, Horst is not alone. And someone else from Frankfurt, Germany likes nudes. If she also loves sausage and schnitzel is not confirmed yet. But she is warmly invited for a dinner at Atschel. Who else wants to join?

Stimulate

Nice sculptures. Let's build a wood. Let's play.

Realm Of The Senses

My new scent. Diptyque L’Eau Trois. A fragrance with a strong sillage and persistence. It includes notes of rosemary, myrrh, myrtle, oregano, cistus labdanum, pine, laurel, and thyme. It smells a bit like hairy men and church. Perfect for me.

HorSTYLE Lesson No8

The contradiction of concrete and wood, of sleek and rough design inspired me for this new edition of HorSTYLE Lesson. After all the bright colors and extrordinary patterns, the return to minimalism. Easy, soft and quiet.
