Sherman Questions IV

1. Cindy Sherman Untitled #129, 1983
2. Prada Fall/Winter 2006

Melancholic women, beaten by their fears and the eternity of life. The will to create is mostly motivated by the artist's urge to achieve immortality. While art is still said to posess the strength of eternal elevation, fashion (and in particular campaign imagery) is doomed to a short life span per se.

Miusing Escher II

1. Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2002
2. M. C. Escher Drawing Hands, 1943

Exploring the iconic. The thought of perpetual existence. As this thought is both naïve and surreal, the attraction towards it gradually increases. And to be honest, sometimes it is nice to lie to oneself. Believing the illusion.

Tinfoil Confection

Nicomede Talavera Graduate Collection

Obviously, my heart is struck by a fluorescent pair of trousers. It's like unwrapping a piece of ice chocolate pralinés. Just better. Without the calories and sticky fingers. Just eye candy.

Avidity

Top Givenchy Spring/Summer 2011
Bottom Lanvin Spring/Summer 2011

A white, partly sheer leopard print shirt. Givenchy. A black multi-pocket, zip-strap utility bag. Lanvin. Currently on my wishlist. I like the temporary illusion of ownership.

Inventory

The men's handbag. An item to be revived against all criticism. I don't need a weekender just to carry around Moleskine notebook, pen and tanga briefs. Am I right?

Hallucination

Prada Spring/Summer 2007

Socks and sandals. Shorts and coats. I just found these amazing vintage clothes in my father's wardrobe that fit me perfectly well. Prada, Miu Miu, Dries van Noten. But it was just a dream.

Trash Me Up

All clothes Second hand

This totally reflects a Jamaican granny style with strong influences from 93's (Jesus, 15 years ago!!) movie classic Cool Runnings. You better watch out on the rink! Ahhhh.

Twin set

All fashion Models own

Somehow I have the feeling these silver fashion girls don't only share memories but the same sense for fashion. They know each other so well, they can pick their outfit blindly and still make a fantastic look-alike couple. Isn't that moving? Longlife-friends who set trends. Allover patterns, white trousers and high waist skirts are so hot right now. That's for sure. A fact obviously also well known among our street models, the grey-haired-permanent-wave ladies. And please pay attention to their matching shoes and handbags.
