Parachute Styledive II

Banal Chic Bizarre Spring/Summer 2012

Although it does evoke memories of the Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2008 collection, the thought of sports performance is enhanced by wrestling and childhood fantasies. Consequently, the presented result justifies its distinct existance.

RuPaul has changed my life. He/she changed the way I utilize language, the way I play with self-irony, random words and endless repetition. He/she made me laugh. The precious kind of laugh that only occurs when you are all by yourself. And looking back, the art of drag has already moved and formed me at the youngest age. So in fact, Mary has changed my life.

Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2011, 2009 & 2008

As a gym bunny myself, I tend to identify more and more with the Calvin Klein man. Square and hunky. While I'll most probably stay on the slender side, I'd like to watch you becoming him.

Tea Time

1. Bernhard Willhelm Fall/Winter 2005
2. Meissen porcelain teapot, Bartholomaus Seuter workshop, 1725–1730

More postmodern insanity. Meissen versus Berhnard Willhelm. Classicism versus exotism. The ostentatious, anti-functional porcelain object re-staged with painted human bodies. Decadence.

My beautiful dolls! One week left for your contest submissions. Don't be a drag, just be a queen. Bring out your heels and toss that wig. I expect nothing less than Pandemonia.

Constitutes

Boris Bidjan Saberi Eleven installation

Men re-formed by stark protective structures. The invention of transparent leather. Saberi strives for the unseen material and consctruction that for themselves make his vision visible.

Deconstruction

Peter Fischli and David Weiss vs. Alexander McQueen

The white platform. Plain canvas for performance and installation. The static origin of exposure. Staging the mere object as fetish or transforming the living object as sculpture. Alexander McQueen in The Bridgegroom Stripped Bare by Nick Knight.

Denim Biker Dreams

Tina Turner - What You Get Is What You See

Denim, leather, red lipstick, exploded hair: You get it all. Brokeback Mountain is nothing compared to this. Puss.

OMG

Beyonce - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)

What a dance performance. Micheal Jackson is nothing compared to this. We all pine for bootilicious iconic superwomen to admire. Grace Jones was gone but came back with an awful Dazed spread. Brigitte is still in rehab, but hej, there she is: Beyonce. And she has 10m legs as well. Embrace our new Horst icon.
