Laminated Veneer Fight

Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2012 vs. 1935 Retro Kitchen

Like most of the times, Proenza Schouler looks like the pictogram of everyday reality. Brutal in its choice of pattern, postmodern in its distant reference to the aesthetic codes of mainstream. Put shortly: American Kitchen Camp.

Welcome To The Camp II

Neoprene T-shirt Josef Lazo

Pyjamas Second hand

Sneakers Raf Simons

Lurex socks H&M



It was early in the morning. Grey and windy. Piles of clothes surrounded by low-society and myself. Once touching a piece of pastel pink woolen velvet, a teethless man smiled at me and said: 'Take it, it's yours now.'

2. Prada Spring/Summer 2003 & Jean-Francois Campos for Numéro Tokyo, May 2009
3. Yuima Nakazato Spring/Summer 2011 & Prada Fall/Winter 2008

I've always enjoyed the indefinable character of metallic textures. And I'm loving my copper Raf Simons x Doc Martens boots. Changing their colour in sync with the surrounding light. Disco.

Python

Lanvin Fall/Winter 2010

The dangerous thing about fashion is that once you have satisfied one desire, the next one appears. There is no logic correlation, things just unconsciously manifest themselves in my mind. And now I want snakeskin boots.

Distinguishable Replicants

Lanvin Spring/Summer 2011

I truly loved this collection. And it is overdue to express my appreciation for Lucas Ossendrijver and his achievements for Lanvin Homme. Like no other he pictures the merciless and naïvely charming blade runner dandy. Marked by raw edges and rivalling textures.

Exfoliation

Mihara Yasuhiro Fall/Winter 2010

Besides a beautiful setting with live music and diagonal rows of wooden chairs, reminiscent of old school days, the collection spoke to me due to this particular trompe l'œil effect of crinkled fabric. Category: insatiable desire.

Silver Foil Fight

Mihara Yasuhiro Spring/Summer 2010 vs. Silver curtain

As Mariah sings, I am so obsessed. Obsessed with finding analogue images in my mind. All the time. A wafting matter of memories, impressions and connotations. It this ingenuity or insanity?

Fur Repetition

Artworks Brion Nuda Rosch

Do you know the feeling of a furry tongue?

Physical Fragment

Artworks Winston Chmielinsk

The human a surface for its surrounding. Faces transformed into empty space and textured by unverifiable transparency. The being as assemblage of seemingly incongruous pieces.

Best Of Hedi Slimane

Photos Hedi Slimane

His portraits are from purest beauty, but the texture shots and still lifes are beyond. I don't need more than glittering tar, bubble wrap and patterns in endless repetition. Okay, maybe a little bit of naked skin.
