Flowers & Dolls

Artworks Maureen Mullarkey
Backdroop Irving Penn

While enjoying a glass of red wine, I let myself feel touched. A red dress. And a corset. Tightened by a bulky arm that is decorated with a tribal tattoo. The time has come for you to lipsync for your life.

Sheer Stripe Fight

Louise Goldin Spring/Summer 2011 vs. The Fifth Element

Hardly any collection images have found their way to the outside world. A well kept secret and mystery. Until Rihanna appeared in a sheer, striped combat dress. An evident tribute to one of the best movies of our times.

Confessions Of An Exhibitionist

Artworks Ellsworth Kelly

Fresh flowers, a glass of red wine. Intellectual thoughts lead to exceptional characters. Reminding myself of which paths my mind seeks to explore. I want nothing. Just nakedness.

Pulsation

Ioannis Dimitrousis Fall/Winter 2010

Concentrating on the simplicity of crochet and its inherent structure, Ioannis Dimitrousis retrieves his strenght this season. Most successfully when giving the garment a basic shape and allowing the vivid 3D surface to speak for itself.

Momentary

Marjan Pejoski Fall/Winter 2001

It actually is a piece of fashion history. And I never understood the drama about this wounderful swan dress once worn by Björk. Only the ostrich variation was quite questionable. But aren't fashion sins an existential part of establishing aesthetics?
