Gravure

1. Marios Schwab Spring/Summer 2011
2. Antonio Miro Fall/Winter 2005
3. Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2002

I've always fancied a sheer, tattoo-printed shirt. Most notably due to my restless obsession for tribal. In that sense, I appreciate Marios Schwab's latest homage to biker chic. Don't stop believin'.

Lesbians On Mars

Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2011

Aggressive skin girls without shaved heads or pitbull dogs. Promoting a hard-bitten version of feminity. Sheer blouses with collar pieces, chunky leather shoes and soft biker jackets. Fulfilling a phrase I always wanted to use.

Velum Vellum

Artworks Paul Cadmus

I always felt attracted to magic realism. How the clothes cover the bodies like a second skin. Only appearing as an alibi for nudity and eroticism. But also adding an ease, lightness and vulnerability.

Alpha Male

D&G Spring/Summer 2008
Spring/Summer 2007 & Spring/Summer 2010
Spring/Summer 2003 & Spring/Summer 2007

There it is again: My surrender to D&G. Hidden in a dark corner of my mind. Barbie Fashion for men. Ken Fashion so to speak. Maybe we all want to be a bit of Ken? Except one particular detail of his anatomy.
