Dalí's Dolls

1. Surrealist Exhibition, Paris 1938
2. Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2009
2. Vogue Cover, April 1944
3. Portrait by George Platt Lynes

Handsome young Dalí and his mannequin. Foam wigs and breast cutouts. The former Rei Kawakubo? Vogue cover and lobster bikini. How would his hypothetical Spring/Summer 2013 collection look like?

Citrus Sinensis II

1. Orangina posters by Bernard Villemot, 1972-1986
2. Prada Spring/Summer 2011 campaign

Last night's orange-themed research delivered a striking visual resemblance of Tropician heat. Or shall I say: a blood orange relationship. And blood orange juice is thicker than water. As is commonly known.

Early Works

Artworks Richard Kilroy

What I admire most about Richard Kilroy's work is not the photo-realistic simulation of strands of hair, light and shadow. Instead it is the instinctive, gestural drawing that is capable of presenting the essence of an appearance.

Drawing Richard Kilroy

As a Lynn & Horst exclusive, illustrator Richard Kilroy payed homage to lipstick and sausage: "I chose the Diana Dondoe / David Sims / Balenciaga 03 ad image because I felt it encompassed a lot of what Lynn & Horst is about. I wanted the illustration to have some kind of monolithic tone with a minimalist/reductivist quality, but with lots of intricate details that add to the overall effect."

Textured People Pt.III

Picture perfect? In this case it’s not about style in the first place, it’s about the right dosis of kitsch and romance in your life. I recommend: Wear tees with animal portraits! Or with black and white pictures of your beloved.

Textured People Pt.II

It could be me but it’s not. One could think waistcoats and checkered shirts are over but I say why should they? It looks good. Just wait a bit until all fashion followers have disappeared. And: Please combine this look with a moustache!

Textured People Pt.I

It’s time for a new series. A selection of illustrations I did recently. Celebrating style and highlighting stunning details. May I introduce: Textured People.

Time For Hope

Illustrations Hope Gangloff

Somehow the pictures make me feel I am participating in her life. I meet her friends. I join her for a concert. I smell the beer and the sweat. I wake up next to her the other morning.

Style Illustrated Pt.VII

What’s more attractive than a cute little puppy on your arms. What’s more feminine than ribbons on your dress and shoes. What’s more seductive than a guys hand going underneath his shorts. Or more bohemian than a french intellectual wearing hight top sneakers and smoking a cigarette? I don’t know but somehow it all makes me feel good.


That's it.

Style Illustrated Pt.VI

Here he is: Mr. Style, well known among Bloggers. Do you know where he is? And what else do we have today? A boy with a toy. This 80s smiley guy sitting on his shoulders is just amazing. I want to marry it! But the inflatable unicorn of the little girl walking barfoot through the night is not bad too!

Style Illustrated Pt.V

The basic formula for a sovereign color explosion is truly simple, it’s red/blue/green. Red like heart shaped sunglasses worn by a naughty virgin. Blue like a Starburst sour raspberry chew bringing orgasms to your tongue. Green like the sweaty vest of a slim shacked guy and a bottle of Becks Lemon.


/HORST

Style Illustrated Pt.IV

Four pictures for you. Three colors in the center of attention: light grey/smoky blue/mauve. Two guys, two girls. One message: Dress to excess! Wear your tie underneath your shirt. Wear your tee as scarf. Wear a haircut that hides your eyes. Do it dirty on the bike.

Ok, tell me how it was...
/HORST

Style Illustrated Pt.III

Welcome to round three of my fashion illustration series. On the radar: deep purple/turquoise blue/baby pink. Purple is the coolest color ever. And its revival made me more than happy. Blue is the color of boys and pink is the color of Lynn&Horst. So I ask you: What could be better? Maybe a hamburger? A sausage? A half-naked man? Or a pretty girl lifting her dress?



Tell me what you need...

Style Illustrated Pt.II

The color continues. This time I chose raspberry pink/yellow/mauve grey to create a harmonic interplay. I love the freshness of light yellow merging with dark 'concupiscence' pink. And to speak about the clothes, there they are again: colored tights. And a boy just dressed with a shirt, jumper, undies and one sock. Maybe some of you could send in some similar photos...?

I'm waiting for your mail!
