The Body

Acne Paper Issue Nº 13

Sometimes it is fairly enough to judge a book by its cover. And a man by its outer appearance. The superelevated, superficial surface we all seek, aspire and adore. Allowing comparison of one's projected and actual 'self'.

Unfinished

Collage and text Horst

My contribution to a collaborative art publication that may never become reality: PARFUM Mag. Initiated by Victor Antonio, the surrealist tradition of cadavre exquis became alive once again. For my part, I created a fake perfume advertisement poem.

Wow.

Algetic Abstinence

Magazine Comme des Garçons Six

The curse of being born in the 80s: The fashion consciousness not established enough to witness and worship the creative heights of the 90s. May it be Helmut Lang or Comme des Garçons - I want my piece of this cake now!

Vintage Arena

Magazine spreads Arena Homme +

Imagine a 90s time warp mall where you can get all the items that have been featured in vintage Arena Homme +. There is nothing else you need. Trends are recurrent.

Shift

The Gentlewoman Issue No. 2 vs. Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2010

To continue the thought of our previous post one may state: The future of fashion is defined by men showing cleavage and women wearing beards. I find it positively exhilarating.

Subtitle

Another magazine that should soon enrich my collection. Especially these two issues. It is fascinating how strinkingly well the cover artworks reflect their time and aesthetic mood. Throughout all past decades.

Auf Wiedersehen

032c 19th Issue “William T. Vollmann", Summer 2010

When proudly flipping through the new shiny red issue of 032c, featuring typography apes on the cover, I stumbled upon a very familiar content: screen caps of Richard Gere in American Gigolo. A nice continuation.

Belated Touch

Perfume Fantastic Man

The face close to mine. The touch of man. The smell of your skin. Bergamot, cardamom and star anise. Most beautifully packaged and highly sensual to unveil. The heart enriched with incense, geranium and lavender. His lips on my cheek.

Steal

Dear diary, it is February, the 3rd. Discovered some amazing back issues of domus magazine from the early nineties in our office library. Will take them home.

Images Encens

With their publication, Sybille Walter and Samuel Drira created a piece of cultural identification and fashion history. It's the aesthetic core of a visually driven conviction that spreads through the imagery of Matthew Ames, Damir Doma and Bruno Pieters.

BUTT Care

Today I bought pink toilet paper so it fits perfectly to my BUTT collection. As in all contexts, it is important to create a cohesive look. And this also applies to the toilet interior.
