Undoubtedly

Maison Martin Margiela Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2011

Earlier today, the infamous Maison fulfilled a Horst prophecy and presented transparent suits and plastic raincoats. Besides, the post-baroque Hotel Maison Champs Elysées delivered the backdrop for brutalist motorcycle jackets and tape-draped evening dresses.

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.

Non-Sterile

Artworks Keith Sonnier

The smell of medical latex gloves. Manipulated cloth and paper pieces. Dyed, dipped, painted fabrics. Neglectfully mounted onto walls. Evoking the sensuality and poetry of fortuitousness.

Second Skin

Boris Bidjan Saberi Spring/Summer 2011

Thin layers of leather. Nude and transparent. Hand-moldered, waxed and washed-out. Emphasizing the principles of existence. Garments that reflect traces of human action. Clothes that imply the wearer's devoted past.

Exfoliation

Mihara Yasuhiro Fall/Winter 2010

Besides a beautiful setting with live music and diagonal rows of wooden chairs, reminiscent of old school days, the collection spoke to me due to this particular trompe l'œil effect of crinkled fabric. Category: insatiable desire.
