M + MMM III

1. René Magritte La Magie Noire, 1935
2. Maison Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2010

Surrealist camouflage in thigh-high boots. Why can't just every woman dress like an art exhibition or private gallery viewing. Wearing the artwork or vice versa. This may also apply to men, of course.

I've kept it to myself for quite a while now, but the psychological pressure got too intense. I cannot deny nor hold it back any longer. The hood is back. Floral paisley for her, apocalyptic protection for him.

Rearmamentum

John Galliano Spring/Summer 2008

As a matter of fact, middle-aged Germans love to dress in matching outdoor clothes when travelling. John Galliano, me, myself and I strongly recommend to join this clothing codex. Utility vests for survival. And tribal tattoos, please.

Offence As Defence

Photos Steven Meisel

The final post to conclude my military trilogy: Make Love Not War. And what else do we need: camouflage, half-nakedness, tribal tattoos. I'll try to abandon my obsession pretty soon, promised.

Combat Zone

Julie Eilenberger Exploration collection

It's weird. I am currently a lot into moss green. And I have also overcome the antipathy towards camouflage and military. Now that the spell is broken, well dosed worship is allowed. Especially when Julie Eilenberger delivers the munition.

Controversy

Top Gaspard Yurkievich Spring/Summer 2009
Bottom Unknown

I see two identical images. Two realities. Totally separate and still strangely alike. But most importantly, I desire both. The stockings and the artwork.

Russki Chic

Gosha Rubchinskiy Spring/Summer 2009

I can't deny a certain fascination and attraction to the East European rude boy aesthetic. Shaved heads, bomber jackets, XL sweaters. Camouflage shorts, tennis socks and cans of beer. It might be the notion of innocence hiding behind the militaristic façade.

Echoes

She won my heart. Again. Kitten love. Boys in underwear. Military jumpsuit.

Non Compos Mentis

Rag & Bone Fall/Winter 2010

Never really found access to Rag & Bone. Never felt attracted to what it stands for. Never liked camouflage. Never appreciated a colour palette of khaki, green and brown. Never been a fan of tartans either. In summation, so it seems, everything accursed becomes tempting, almost likeable.
