Reversed Striptease

Leopard longsleeve Givenchy
Snakeskin T-shirt Jil Sander
Organza snake top Raf Simons

Layering season for season, adding garment for garment. A personal archive triptych of leopard and snakes. My most favourite signature pieces starring in 'The Return of Safari Couture'.

Late Adopter

Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2009

Quick cry for help. Where can I (still) get these utterly adorable toe-printed shoes? Better late than never. Any advice will be worshipped with an air kiss and endless thankfulness.

Medusa: Main Corpus

Top Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2010

Medusa's snakes have chosen me. An eternal spell engraved onto my skin. Tattooed by a thin frayed layer of organza. The prophecy of our precedent prequel has fulfilled itself. And I devote myself.

Golden Cut

Marios Schwab Spring/Summer 2010

While disappointed and nearly schocked by Christopher Kane, I was stunned by Marios Schwab. His geometric scheme and sharply defined anatomic division is remarkable due to its consequence and variety. Every piece translating the idea strong yet differently.

Exhalation

Noir Spring/Summer 2010

A melancholic haze wafting over porcelain skin. Light nightmares beleaguering the sleeping beauty. Writhing herself in sheets of transparent organza.

Hyperbole

Valentino Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2009

The most beautiful Haute Couture collection. Soft, fragile and feminine. Each and every look dark and strong. The superelevation of shape and indicated nudity. Multiplied, highly romantic details that appear tamed, always delicate.
