An Open Letter To Frida Giannini

Gucci Spring/Summer 2003 - Spring/Summer 2005

The essence of the house of Gucci becomes manifest in one recurrent garment. The silk kimono. With Tom Ford leaving Gucci in 2004, also the men's robe disappeared. Herewith I kindly request a revival.

Bigfoot Encounters

Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 2005 vs. Deichmann slippers

In case you wondered: that's what I give beloved ones for Christmas. Gigantic furry fluffy monster paw slippers. I believe everyone should wear them. Everywhere. Anytime. Joy to the world!

Super Mission

Issey Miyake Spring/Summer 2005

I'm sorry but it seems I cannot resist utilitywear for a while. Carrying the idea to be ready at any time. Always perfectly equipped with bizarre tools and weapons. How charming and attractive.

Digitalis

Spastor Spring/Summer 2005

I remember a time when I first discovered Spastor. Attracted by the rough charme of the name itself but also by the collection's inherent Raf spirit, deconstruction of formal wear and obsession with youth culture.
