Post New York II

A false encyclopaedic guide to the menswear collections, presenting:
Jeremy Scott Fall/Winter 2012

1. Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 1994
2. Janet Jackson 'Runaway' 1995
3. Flower wrap

Who doesn't love a boy toy wrapped in fluorescent plastic, just like a box of white chocolate truffles. Especially when paired with the archaic Jean Paul Gaultier, respectively Janet Jackson 'Runaway' nose chain.

Ex-Post Integration

Hooded shirt Raf Simons
Leopard top Givenchy
Trousers Laitinen
Shoes Doc Martens

We will do it again. Sleeve under rolled-up sleeve. Hoodie under shirt. My system did not allow it. The option was completely banned. Until now. And it feels better than before.

Refractions

Shoes Doc Martens
Backdrops Keith Sonnier, Paolo Roversi

Top 5 worst oil catastrophes: The Gulf War, Ixtoc 1, Atlantic Empress, Nowruz Platform, Exxon Valdez. Beautiful disasters look different. It all depends on one's angle of view.

Tinfoil Confection

Nicomede Talavera Graduate Collection

Obviously, my heart is struck by a fluorescent pair of trousers. It's like unwrapping a piece of ice chocolate pralinés. Just better. Without the calories and sticky fingers. Just eye candy.

Via New Male Fashion

Still Life, Still

1. Marble and glass vases, white Maison Martin Margiela box
2. Porcelain deer, Fantastic Man perfume and fleur de sel
3. Fluorescent sunglasses, Prada case, white paper coffee cup

The reduction of myself as an object.

Monolythic II

1. Stella McCartney Fall/Winter 2011
2. Anne de Vries Cave 2 Cave

And what is the result of all the research? The desire to wear a pair of silver painted trousers. A fluorescent metallic T-shirt. Or an early 90s, shiny polyester shirt by Dolce & Gabbana.

Techno Goth II

Yuima Nakazato Spring/Summer 2011

As the saga continues, the aggression of industrial beats and broken toilet mirrors is molded into fragmented versions of the men's dress. Quoting the stylised idea of a post German underground techno club.

Le 22 Samedi

Collections Maison Martin Margiela, Bernhard Willhelm, Mihara Yasuhiro, Tillmann Lauterbach, Damir Doma, Raf Simons

9 shows, 1 presentation and Marc Jacobs gloves for 3 Euros. Mon jour en chiffres. The image quality is bad as always and photoshopped to death - but the colouration sums up this season's feeling of Paris quite well. Note: fluorescent belts and black plastic trousers at Raf Simons.

Fluorescent Appendix

Helmut Lang Fall/Winter 1994

This is just a follow-up.

Fluorescent Minds

Top Dries van Noten Spring/Summer 2011
Bottom Glowing Arrow

Fluorescent clothes are the next big thing after the plastic raincoat. Trust me. Remember the glow-in-the-dark Helmut Lang trousers? Here you go. Optical light refraction is the only acceptable colour.
