This spread is proof that a man only needs two things and one colour. Maison Martin Margiela, Helmut Lang and blue. Period. House down. Exclamation mark.

Obituary

Clothes Christopher Nemeth

Through the fulminant pages of POP, I stumbled upon the work of Christopher Nemeth. Situated somewhere between folklore and workwear, each piece is one of a kind. Ignoring the self-restraining principle of bi-annual collections and pursuing a patchwork philosophy instead.

Homeless Chic

Simon Rasmussen Spring/Summer 2011

Fantastic Simon Rasmussen presented his first collection. An eclectic recycling of random materials and graphic references, also quoting Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's teddy bear coat worn by supermodel Helena Christensen in the heart-breakingly amusing film Prêt-à-Porter. An exquisit example for Recession Couture.

Magazine Hero

For the third and yet most striking issue of Hero Magazine, ornamental Versace silk shirts clash with sports equipment and softdrink refreshment accessories. There is something very stimulative about this head to toe look.

Wooyoungmi Spring/Summer 2011

First and foremost: the glasses are divine. A remarkable collection aiming for the modern humanist and poet. The adequate wardrobe for a man who is dedicated to scientific research and the critical discourse.

Alienesque

John Galliano Spring/Summer 2003

Porcelain dolls in exuberant colours. Wrapped in tunics, veils, dresses and scarfs. Too much of everything. Too much of romanticism. Too much of orientalism. Overdosage of such a degree only a John Galliano is allowed to.

The infamous transparent printed Raf Simons snake top paired with massive motocross boots. If I could just lay my hands on these precious items of unspent masculinity.
