Case of Recurrence

Prada Fall/Winter 2009

The ways of desire are eratically irrational. Suddenly you are confronted with the wishful thought of owning the studded shirt from Prada Fall/Winter 2009. But maybe there is someone who has it and is over it?

Desired #9

Ploum Sofa Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

This time I need your opinion. Would you approve a gigantic soft 3D tea biscuit as the visual centre of my future living room? Does it succeed as alternative to the Acne New Berlin sofa?

Post Paris V

A false encyclopaedic guide to the prêt-à-porter collections for Spring/Summer 2012.
Fifth chapter: Ann Demeulemeester

1. Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2012
2. Gottfried Honegger
3. Christo and Jeanne-Claude

Ann and Gottfried, a beautiful paring of names and subtexts. The German 'Gottfried' literally translates into 'god' and 'peace'. Just like the wrapped sculptures of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, total absorption disembogues into angelic bliss.

Balenciaga Questions IV

1. Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2004
2. Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2008

Raf Simons undoubtedly shows apprecciation for Nicolas Ghesquière. Wouldn't these two make a beautiful couple, respectively team? Simons x Ghesquière. Wouldn't it be nice?

True Romance

Marni Spring/Summer 2008

Lately, I am totally into Marni. The fit. The fluidity. I seriously believe it could become the next super brand. The right choice for soft-hearted, sexy nerds. Just follow the elite.

Petrarca's Heir

Photos Alex Rank

Neither authentic nor artificial. Neither human nor sculpture. Skin as perfect and sleek as marble. No hair, no flaw, no beauty mark. So close and yet so distant. So real and yet so staged.

Nudist Camp II

1. Hussein Chalayan Spring/Summer 1998
2. Vanessa Beecroft
3. Unknown

The best way of starting the day is being nude.

Ritual

Walter van Beirendonck Fall/Winter 2011

Fashion's only true Bärchen surprised us with a tailored and quite conservative approach. Picturing the modern shaman. Whose suit is gradually conquered by colour and absurdity. The dichotomy of the tamed and feral perfectly summarized by hair sculptures - an aesthetic topic also discussed here.

Ruhe

Giving myself a break.

Suggestion #5

Sandals, Lanvin Spring/Summer 2011

If you pick anything snakeskin related from the Lanvin menswear collection as my christmas gift you won't have to keep the receipt. I'll take it! If it's not the briefcase, I am also happy about those lovely trekking sandals.

Sans Substitute

Fendi Fall/Winter 2007 & Spring/Summer 2007

There has been one year in the history of Fendi that demands closer inspection. 2007 offered impeccable cut and attention to material. As a result I am truly melancholic regarding the fact that the menswear line as such doesn't exist anymore. Maybe I have to comfort myself with a logo bag.

Escapism

Mihara Yasuhiro Fall/Winter 2006

The time has come. I've always denied it and never ascribed any relevance to it. But given this collection I am ready for men in bootcut. Maybe I will still never wear them myself but maybe I was just afraid of it for nothing. And you?

Subtle Hues

Elin Klevmar Graduate Collection

Today I feel like wearing all-white. Unfortunately I don't really have anything white. That's why I have to stay in bed all day and wrap myself in crispy sheets. But I probably won't.

Heir To The Throne

Janosch Malwitz UDK Graduate Collection

I am feeling excitement. The certainty that we are witnessing something outstanding and fantastic. Detachable leather boots. Fishing, biking and skydiving references. I just can't get over the brilliancy, how devastatingly beautiful and forward-thinking this collection is. A new Raf Simons has emerged.
