A theoretical construct is brought into theatrical performance. The body in its centre, the garment as the opponent, a dramatic antagonist. Eventually, they find together. I'd like to call this play The Antwerp Collection.

The Farhi Simons Scandal
Nicole Farhi Spring/Summer 2012 vs. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2011 & 2008
As the previous Farhi scandals have been quite easy to grasp, this one takes on complexity and merges various Raf Simons collections. Mere copy or honest tribute? Who will be throwing the first stone?

Shyam
Snakeskin belt Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2011
Better late than never. I really don't know where it suddenly came from. But the Comme poison has pervaded my veins. The result is unresistance. And the hindsight that sometimes it's love at second sight.

Death
1. Vanitas still life & Givenchy Spring/Summer 2011
2. Hedi Slimane still life & Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2011
I've never understood the fascination for it. I am afraid of death. Who can take this fear away? Or is this even possible? Men in leopard skirt shorts might be a consolatory beginning.

Alternate Demand
MTWTFSS Spring/Summer 2011
Desperately seeking Strawberry Blonde. The platinum days are over. Spring demands fruitiness. Including one's hair colour. If anyone knows how to achieve this hue of gold, professional advice is always welcome.

Act Of Compensation
Julius Spring/Summer 2011
Although I didn't find the perfect lederhosen yet (they have to be black, they have to be flower embroidered, they have to fit), I made the pleasant encounter with pieces from the Julius SS11 collection. Maybe they will have to do instead.

Awareness Campaign
Top Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2011
Bottom Unknown editorial, Smoking spoils your looks
As a non-smoker myself, I can speak with pure conscience and vehemently support a crispy clean 'all white, no nicotine' policy. So does Alexander Wang who banned and quoted the cigarette as hair clip.

Preserved Latex Fight
Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Keith Sonnier
Never getting tired of posting Raf Simons pieces. This time put together with a rather unwearable favourite: Keith Sonnier. Both depicting one common matter. Latex it is. The material I wanna feel on my skin.

The Belgian Patient
Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2011
Although TLC proclaimed No Scrubs in 1999, we'll suspend this rule for 2011. Encouraging every man to dress in an open-back nightshirt. For reference see also Prada's Emergency Room and Matías Uris.

Citrus Sinensis II
1. Orangina posters by Bernard Villemot, 1972-1986
2. Prada Spring/Summer 2011 campaign
Last night's orange-themed research delivered a striking visual resemblance of Tropician heat. Or shall I say: a blood orange relationship. And blood orange juice is thicker than water. As is commonly known.
