La Fin

1. Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2012

If we were celebrating New Year's together tonight, I'd be wearing this outfit for you. Happy new year to everyone. May all your wishes be fulfilled. Leave me your desires for 2012 below.

The Burberry Miu Scandal

Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2012 vs. Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2005



Presumably, the scandal series will find a new climax every season. And most probably, the cast will always feature familiar names. But in the end, that's what we love about sequels. Same same but different. And Miuccia will always win.

An Open Letter To Frida Giannini

Gucci Spring/Summer 2003 - Spring/Summer 2005

The essence of the house of Gucci becomes manifest in one recurrent garment. The silk kimono. With Tom Ford leaving Gucci in 2004, also the men's robe disappeared. Herewith I kindly request a revival.

Bigfoot Encounters

Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 2005 vs. Deichmann slippers

In case you wondered: that's what I give beloved ones for Christmas. Gigantic furry fluffy monster paw slippers. I believe everyone should wear them. Everywhere. Anytime. Joy to the world!

Super Mission

Issey Miyake Spring/Summer 2005

I'm sorry but it seems I cannot resist utilitywear for a while. Carrying the idea to be ready at any time. Always perfectly equipped with bizarre tools and weapons. How charming and attractive.

Digitalis

Spastor Spring/Summer 2005

I remember a time when I first discovered Spastor. Attracted by the rough charme of the name itself but also by the collection's inherent Raf spirit, deconstruction of formal wear and obsession with youth culture.

Lost The Way

We met him several times. And he was always wearing his pink overall. He is a true style leader. Unfortunately, I forget his name. And honestly, I don't want to be polemic. His style concept seems to be right. Just the execution is a bit improvable. Lynn & Horst alternatively recommend:
