Slit

Laitinen Spring/Summer 2012

Slitted eyes. Slitted wrists. Slitted knit. The side of a man's torso revealed. Bare shoulders, uncovered skin. Soft lines accentuating the principles of human construction.

Tinfoil Confection

Nicomede Talavera Graduate Collection

Obviously, my heart is struck by a fluorescent pair of trousers. It's like unwrapping a piece of ice chocolate pralinés. Just better. Without the calories and sticky fingers. Just eye candy.

The Sense Of Presence

Tim Hamilton Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Michaël Borremans

Surreal portraits of women. Dissolving into the circumfluent space. Only hold in reality by form and texture that remains touchable but not always visible. Their humanity sustained by hues of earth, skin and dust.

The Spell

Hernández-Cornet Spring/Summer 2011

The ancient myth of fox spirits. Transforming into the outer appearance of a beautiful young woman. Seducing the beholder. Their surroundings continuously shifting. Reflected through garments of displacement and a distorted reality. Nothing is what it seems.

Manipulation

Asger Juel Larsen Spring/Summer 2011

Protective garments that reflect the intensity and bravery of craftsmanship. Intense hues of red and orange that evoke the notion of bursting fire. Cropped and sleeveless tops that expose the wearer's masculinity, strength and sex. Shiny, crispy and studded.

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.

Contrarious Conditions

JULIAANDBEN Spring/Summer 2011

Picturing an extraterrestrial travel. Facing landscapes absorbed by human action and manipulated into contradictory extremes. The desert and the ice. The inhuman confronted with garments of purity, instinctiveness and craftsmanship.
