I've kept it to myself for quite a while now, but the psychological pressure got too intense. I cannot deny nor hold it back any longer. The hood is back. Floral paisley for her, apocalyptic protection for him.

Meadham Kirchhoff Spring/Summer 2012 & Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2010

Everyone smiled. Even Anna Wintour. So there is a rumour: Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff will take on Dior. Balloons, candy, roses. Frills, lace, organza. Powder, glitter, rainbows. Thoughts?

Camp is an aesthetic sensibility that regards something as appealing because of its bad taste and ironic value. When the usage appeared in 1909 it denoted: ostentatious, exaggerated, affected and theatrical. By the middle of the 1970s the definition comprised: banality, artifice, mediocrity and ostentation so extreme as to have perversely sophisticated appeal. I am pseudo-intellectual camp.

Forbidden Love V

Issey Miyake Spring/Summer 2004

I've finally understood the origin of my appreciation for tribal. It's the resemblance to arabic typefaces and calligraphy. And there truly are ways of adapting this aesthetic principle to fashion. Issey already knew this in 2004.

Bare Back

Usually, Horst can only be seen wearing black. So adding another non-colour to his non-colour range is a huge achievement. And just between us girls: he's enjoying it. All-nude.

The Return

As previously indicated Paris promoted a beautiful dark twisted fantasy of male sexuality. Paris gave men leather pants. It's a question of belief. And baby, I believe that you were ment for me. And if there's somebody, then baby I believe.

Prevision: Prada

1. Sean Connery: nude, tattoos, tribal
2. John Lennon: paisley, hippie, flare
3. Robert Redford: corduroy, brown, orange

Tonight is the night. And as the creations of Miuccia Prada are unpredictable, I've challenged myself to do a Prada Fall/Winter 2011 forecast. An illogical suspicion of things that shouldn't belong together. It's a surreal dream.

Forbidden Love II

I herewith declare the comeback of a fashion sin: the tribal T-shirt. Even unfashionable people don't wear it anymore. And that's our chance. Time for a statement. Time for late 90s German technowear. There is only one rule: It needs to be minimalist.
