Sherman Questions

1. Cindy Sherman Untitled #122, 1983
2. Maison Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2009

Glamour girl, art billionaire and woman of the year. Images and words will never capture this complex multi-personae. Thus, I will focus on a character study through the means of fashion: Who is Cindy Sherman? And who would she be wearing?

Born Slippy

Bomber jacket Motorking by Michiko Koshino
Suit jacket Whyred
Mesh tank Helmut Lang
Coin necklace Ann Demeulemeester

Reciprocity

Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2012

Touching one of fashion's most relevant and recurrent topics, the black and shiny is multiplied in material and form. The result: Serial killer duplicants dressed head-to-heel in periodic leather. The question: Is Jil the new Raf?

The Real Housewives Of Haute Couture

Photos Paolo Roversi



Paolo's got a taste for blur. And blur's got a taste for luxury. Dark, soft-focused, in-between worlds. A place for gossip, intrigues and confessions. Where boytoys get dressed in couture gowns.

Nudist Camp III

1. Norbert Bisky
2. Winston Chmielinski
3. Hervé Caillon

Today, I am doing what humankind has done for decades and centuries. Naturalism, nudism, exhibitionism. In contrary to the works shown above, my own examination of the subject is of narcissistic nature only.

Monolythic I

1. John Chamberlain Trumpery Praxis, 1984
2. Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 2004 campaign

The result of a multiple hours image research. Loosing the source. Investing even more time. Retriving the origin, its name, its year. And recalling even more aesthetic material.

Citrus Sinensis II

1. Orangina posters by Bernard Villemot, 1972-1986
2. Prada Spring/Summer 2011 campaign

Last night's orange-themed research delivered a striking visual resemblance of Tropician heat. Or shall I say: a blood orange relationship. And blood orange juice is thicker than water. As is commonly known.

Non-Sterile

Artworks Keith Sonnier

The smell of medical latex gloves. Manipulated cloth and paper pieces. Dyed, dipped, painted fabrics. Neglectfully mounted onto walls. Evoking the sensuality and poetry of fortuitousness.

Prince of Persia 1989 & 2010

Please excuse my latest 80s-boy-loves-adventure-fairytale-computer-game-movie-adaption tendendies. But did I already share my childhood addiction of playing Prince of Persia on my 486 PC? Now you know.
