Sherman Questions IX

1. Cindy Sherman Untitled #408, 2002
2. Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2010

With the staging of tasteless women in shiny, ruffled evening gowns, Sherman finds herself united with Marc Jacobs and his incisive collections. Alternating between grey wallflower minimalism and an explosion of tackiness.

Post New York

A false encyclopaedic guide to the womenswear collections, presenting:
Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2012

1. Rachel Blanchard as Cher Horowitz in Clueless
2. Cruella de Vil
3. Chad Butler aka Pimp C

We were all shocked by the vast, almost never-ending fur hat explosion at Marc Jacobs. An accessory that had almost been erased from our collective memory. But now we can announce with excitement: 'Crack is whack. The pimp fur look is back.'

Tan Advice

Beloved readers, where shall I go on beach vacation? Any recommendations, hidden places, abandoned spaces? Preferably a region where white sand and beautiful landscapes clash with the energy of a vibrant city nearby. Marc Jacobs is also very welcome to accompany me.

Arithmetic Shift

Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2010

Boring. Refreshingly boring. Marc Jacobs and his interpretation of minimalsim. Grey uniforms of demureness. The decadence gives way to virginity. Even the most glamourous looks appear toned down.

Up & Down

Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2008

Is he totally overrated or just a genius? My admiration goes up and down. And up and down. Maybe because I've listened to Vengaboys too much these days. Anyway, what Marc did for fall is up!

Ready To Wear

Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2009

Naïvety killed the cat. I like the boyishness and even the silliness. Some pieces are so terribly ugly it's ace.
