T-shirt Maison Martin Margiela

Brooch Ann Demeulemeester

Four stitches, cross lacing and a pin. Manual techniques that emphasize the craft, the detail and the production process. Carefully leading one's view to the centrepiece, a polished black crystal.

2. Morag Keil Pole, 2010

The most unpleasant feeling is that of regret. When you could've had something that you did not want. When you did not like something that you would desire in times to come. Forgetting and remembering a safety pin.

I am a bipolar personality. Rudimentary. My mind is trained to decide. Black or white. Right or wrong. I take the consequences. And like to think in extremes. There is no doubt about me. I am Horst Demeulemeester.

Merve Tuna Graduate Collection

Humanity is questioned and the monstrous idealised. Taxidermised animals serve as belt, stole, brooch and trousers. Cruel accessories opposed to soft and feminine materials. A macabre vision, yet perfectly executed.

One of my recent Paris outfits. Perfectly combining my most favourite pieces: A long see-through dress shirt, a vintage brooch, a skinny jacket, a MMM waistcoat. Each garment consummately indicating and describing who I am.

Diploid Disrupted Substance

Brooches Javier Moreno Frías

Pieces of art and craftsmanship. Precious and glamourous. Decent and subtle. Just alike the pure white structure they consitst of. Seemingly random compositions with an imperfectness that is carefully composed.

Did he or did he not? If you zoom into the picture, it seems like cute Igor is keeping it all natural. Which somehow creates an interesting texture. Maybe a new look also for girls?

All pieces Javier Moreno Frías

Gold, silver, plastic, rubber, glass. I like the antithetic of the materials. The contrast of cheap and expensive. The lightness and modernity. And always remember: The men of tomorrow wear brooches.
