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.

2. Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2010 & Unknown
3. Jil Sander Spring/Summer 1998 & Spring/Summer 2006

Jil Sander and the shape. The circle and the irregular square. It has happened before and it will happen again. Just as the shape itself, it's a recurrent element that I dare to foresee in the upcoming collections.

Everything But The Girl

Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2011

Boxy jackets with stylised peacock feathers and silk dresses with white swan prints. It is Miu Miu. It is complex and willing to take risks. It is crazy in a good way. Miuccia Prada is the best womenswear designer. Full stop.

Holistic Triptych II

Top Pierre Cardin, Suit 1979
Center Theo van Doesburg, Arithmetic Composition 1930
Bottom Vico Magistretti, Kuta Table 1978

A suit, a painting, a lamp. The triangle, the circle, the square. A man could reduce his belongings in life to these three things. And their endless variation/combination/repetition.

There must be an explanation why triangles own such a mesmerizing strength. Is there a psychiatrist amongst our readers who could enlight us?

Preen Spring/Summer 2010

Welcome to the fashion week terror. We all love horror movies, so do we adore the tension that surrounds the catwalk. Sticky air, a swelling tune, the first steps of skinny gazelles. The breathtaking anxiety when a girl starts to stumble or a garment falls apart. This is the thrill that keeps us alive. Enjoy the first scene of a new sequal with Preen.

Form

Could there be any better proof that severe geometry suits the human body best? I wonder what attracts me about pure shape? It might be the negation of the male respective female figure. The absolute priority of the clothes before the body.

This is my definition of perfection. It is breathtaking.

Square

This post makes no sense, I know, but somehow i just felt the need of pure geometry. So if you love a perfect square as much as I do, simply print this post, cut it out and be happy. DIY with Horst.
