Rippchen & Kraut II

Marios Schwab Fall/Winter 2011

A man in lederhosen is ideally accompanied by a woman in Marios Schwab. His Austrain heart establishing the post-modernist dirndl. The geared-up maid satisfying our SM fantasies.

B-Sexual

Top Britney Spears by Todd Cole
Bottom Brigitte Bardot

Britney is the epitome of pop. A symbol for the hyperglycaemia of our society. A bitter sweet candy stick. A post-romantic icon of consumerism and self-dramatization. Wrapped-up in white tulle. Remixing an image of the original power of Dirndl-escapism: The über-icon and strawberry blonde Brigitte Bardot.

Rippchen mit Kraut

Marios Schwab, Prada & Christopher Kane Fall/Winter 2010

The dirndl has seemingly emancipated itself from the archaic heritage. Adapted and transformed into concepts of high-fashion. As German sausage myself, this tendency is highly appreciated, although I am still hoping for a comeback of the lederhosen.
