Only 24 days left. The world is covered in whiteness. And minus degrees make me wear an all-in-one at night. Time for a flashback and the Abercrombie & Fitch Christmas catalogue from 1999.

The reason why I feel attracted to acid denim might probably be its sinister resemblance to a profane thing such as clouds. Carrying a moment of childish astonishment. And at the same time referring to a political ethos.

It's a small step from tribal to ornamental. And that's why I love Martine Rose. Accomplishing the task of melding the kinky and the romantic. And yes, I want those chaps my dear!

Forbidden Love III
Isn't it nice to have obsessions? Some unfulfilled fantasies. Things that shouldn't be but manifest themselves irreparably. Just like a tribal tattoo on tanned skin.

Sans Substitute
Fendi Fall/Winter 2007 & Spring/Summer 2007
There has been one year in the history of Fendi that demands closer inspection. 2007 offered impeccable cut and attention to material. As a result I am truly melancholic regarding the fact that the menswear line as such doesn't exist anymore. Maybe I have to comfort myself with a logo bag.

I'm usually not afraid of questionable or utterly awful things. But corduroy leaves me concerned. Why? Why does it exist? Why do people use it? Why do some people even like it? Especially given the fact that it may have a fashion comeback.
