Subjective Sentence





Damir Doma Spring/Summer 2012

To cut things short: This was my favourite collection. It summarized beautifully what I would love and love to wear. Elastic strapped waistcoat constructions. Sensual fashion priests.

Vertical Altar




Green marble, golden letters. Exterior. Brutalist tables, industrial surfaces. Interior. Aesthetically, Houben can be considered the most beautiful shopping space in Antwerp. Probably best described as sci-fi baroque.

Wahre Liebe






Hernández Cornet Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Martin Creed

Loving the cut-through silver belts. Loving the mint green plastic dress. If I were a woman, I'd take one in every colour. And I would so wear a silver spoon bracelet with it. L'objet trouvé.

Sex In The Woods



1. Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2007 & Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2010
2. Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2002 & Rag & Bone Fall/Winter 2010

I am still turned on by the idea of creating a forest worker. To make it easier attaining this look I have compiled a few hard-on looks from my vast fashion archive. Work it!

Everything But The Girl




Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2011

Boxy jackets with stylised peacock feathers and silk dresses with white swan prints. It is Miu Miu. It is complex and willing to take risks. It is crazy in a good way. Miuccia Prada is the best womenswear designer. Full stop.

Offence As Defence




Photos Steven Meisel

The final post to conclude my military trilogy: Make Love Not War. And what else do we need: camouflage, half-nakedness, tribal tattoos. I'll try to abandon my obsession pretty soon, promised.

Combat Zone




Julie Eilenberger Exploration collection

It's weird. I am currently a lot into moss green. And I have also overcome the antipathy towards camouflage and military. Now that the spell is broken, well dosed worship is allowed. Especially when Julie Eilenberger delivers the munition.

Weather Forecast




Alan Humphrey Bennett Graduate collection

Lately, I feel the desire to dress someone in outdoor clothes and create the image of a forest worker. With water-repellent coats, quilted vests and hiking boots. Preferably in tones of moss green, light turquoise, grey and light brown.

Equipment





Do you like ping pong, canoeing and cooking? Even if you don't, having a selection of paddles at home won't do any harm.

Pulsation



Ioannis Dimitrousis Fall/Winter 2010

Concentrating on the simplicity of crochet and its inherent structure, Ioannis Dimitrousis retrieves his strenght this season. Most successfully when giving the garment a basic shape and allowing the vivid 3D surface to speak for itself.

Holistic Triptych




Top Guy Bourdin
Center Massimo & Lella Vignelli
Bottom Thomas Kiesewetter

Guy, Massimo and Thomas unconsciously connected via form and colour. Transmedial concepts that carry a similar notion and degree of expression. Reducing the principles of life to triangle, circle and square.

Alienesque II




Photos Dazed & Confused, Unknown

Blue-haired and green-skinned. As human beauty allown does not fulfill our contemporary needs, the foreign and artificial conquers our heart. The fake and surreal is what we are longing for. A fantasy of self-deception.

Green tea cake, Imori, Frankfurt

Time to revive an old tradition: the Detail Diary. Green tea cake and coffee at the amazing Imori café. Being served by Japanese ladies in dirndl dresses. I'm still on a caffeine overdose.
