Sherman Questions II

1. Cindy Sherman Untitled #400, 2000
2. Lanvin Fall/Winter 2008

While exploring the decadent side of the rich and Botox-injected, Sherman also uses body parts to create her characters. Consequently, she dresses up as a doll in a literal manner. And reflects on a culture of 'all that money can buy'.

Auto-Biography

Hernández Cornet Fall/Winter 2012

By purpose self-referential, the collection centres on a personal archive of garments that became archetypes throughout the years. This time, these obsessions recur as déja-vu variants in PVC and leather.

Comme Comment

Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2008

Some might have noticed that Horst is currently having a little Comme moment. Comme ci, comme ça. Come on. Comment ça va? In fact, Rei Kawakubo is the dadaist of contemporary fashion.

Theoretical Confrontation

Street Failure vs. Akris Fall/Winter 2010

Rumours say that the street has become the catwalk. And true beauty is mostly to be found aside known fashion paths. Well, there is a fine line between felicity and failure. There are always two options.

Replica IV

Horst Meier vs. Edvard Munch



Hair shampoo Swiss o Par
Toothpaste Euthymol

Munch's 'Weeping Nude' reincarnated via purple hair shampoo, pink toothpaste and wet skin. The structure and raw gesture of his painting technique is pathetically imitated with Photoshop. Hence, the reality becomes fluid.

Shasei

Artworks Sadao Hasegawa

Mythology and male anatomy. His works inherit a Japanese momentum, this very notion of directness hidden behind surreal expression. The explicit, masochistic and sexual seemingly tolerated when stylised. And almost like a gay artist's tradition, Sadao Hasegawa committed suicide following the example of Mishima Yukio and leaving behind works of undaunted kitsch.

Adolescence

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2005

I love the old Raf Simons collections so much, but I don't own a single piece. Isn't it dramatic. It may be explained by the fact that my fashion consciousness just began to materialize with the very beginning of this blog. Shame on me.

Reprogram My Heart

Yes, I loved this collection. And I do love the similarities between the horizontal structured top and the combed-through hair as seen in the last picture.

Welcome

An exclusive view into Horst's world. Today: my Berlin apartment. Can you feel it's beauty and luxury? Interior dreams in purple. What you can't feel though is the amazing artificial smell of furniture and carpet that welcomes you like a chemistry lab. Wonderful.

The need of owning one of the supersized Marni shirts grows and grows. But for now I will compensate my desires with a fresh morning croissant.

Purple Puffling Fight

Emporio Armani Fall/Winter 2009 vs. Puffling Popples

Time to cuddle. Does anyone besides me know these little fluffy guys? I had one in yellow!

Style Illustrated Pt.VI

Here he is: Mr. Style, well known among Bloggers. Do you know where he is? And what else do we have today? A boy with a toy. This 80s smiley guy sitting on his shoulders is just amazing. I want to marry it! But the inflatable unicorn of the little girl walking barfoot through the night is not bad too!

Style Illustrated Pt.III

Welcome to round three of my fashion illustration series. On the radar: deep purple/turquoise blue/baby pink. Purple is the coolest color ever. And its revival made me more than happy. Blue is the color of boys and pink is the color of Lynn&Horst. So I ask you: What could be better? Maybe a hamburger? A sausage? A half-naked man? Or a pretty girl lifting her dress?



Tell me what you need...
