Anonymity, Paired

1. Pierre Debuschere Another Man, 2010
2. Pablo González-Trejo Brent, 2008
3. Erik Olson Brad, 2011
4. Raf Simons Casting Video Fall/Winter 2006

The artist is driven by the narcissistic impulse to make oneself visible through the means of creation. This may result in the portraiture of anonymity. As a model of life, it may also explain my very own self-documentation through photo booth.

Narcissistic Renaissance II

Sleeveless shirt Dior Homme

A fine selection of out-takes from the Narcissistic Renaissance series. Remanent material, left for revelation. There's always more that you haven't seen. There's gotta be.

Post Paris I

A false encyclopaedic guide to the prêt-à-porter collections for Spring/Summer 2012.
First chapter: Haider Ackermann

1. Haider Ackermann Spring/Summer 2012
2. Gerhard Richter
3. Anthony Cragg

Within the post-processing of Paris Fashion Week two aspects appear: the collections in itself and my associated experiences and visual memories. Consequently, the following reviews will only reveal one minor part of the truth. Just like a Haider Ackermann veil dress.

Tions

Velcro strap corset T-shirt Raf Simons
Elastic band endorsed loafers Comme des Garçons Homme Plus

Material combination. Surface manipulation. Optical irritation. It wasn't planned, it just happened to me. And it will happen again. You have to admit, they are beautiful creations.

Pulsation

Ioannis Dimitrousis Fall/Winter 2010

Concentrating on the simplicity of crochet and its inherent structure, Ioannis Dimitrousis retrieves his strenght this season. Most successfully when giving the garment a basic shape and allowing the vivid 3D surface to speak for itself.

Current State Of Mind

Stills Beyoncé - Why Don't You Love Me

"Why don't you love me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you love me
When I make me so damn easy to love?
And why don't you need me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you need me
When I make me so damn easy to need?
I got beauty, I got class
I got style, and I got ass
And you don't even care to care"

Ennui II

As sequal to my luxury logo series, a blurred stalker view on the people of London. Their hidden secrets, affairs and suspicious business. What else to do on an 1h bus ride?

All clothes MTWTFSS

I love weekends. And I love endless repetition. So do I love my new clothes. Especially the fox stole t-shirt and the striped dress. Yes.

Mishappenings

Scenes from a blurred life between London, Frankfurt and Paris. A life marked by Prada shoes, macaroons and tourist boats. And mistakes.

Another Sad Love Song

I feel like cleaning the windows. The breeze of fresh air. The sun in your face. The smell of fresh glass cleaner. Maybe naked.

Works On Paper

Artworks Christian Schoeler

Reinforcing sentimental ideas of masculinity. Tender, dispunging and smudging. Soft images created of tears and wet kisses.

All About The Chaplet

J.W. Anderson Spring/Summer 2009

"When you call my name its like a little prayer
Im down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know Ill take you there"

I wanna throw a '1 pound party' and everyone has to wear little cute hats. And topless would be nice.
