Nuclear Whiteness

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2012

Once ahead our time... when we live in underground bunkers, artificial brutalist spaces made of concrete, furnished with leather and Persian carpets. Sleeveless will become the uniform. Tribal tattoos will indicate the social rank.

Surreptitiously

Yohji Yamamoto Spring/Summer 2004

A men's collection that didn't contain any kind of regular trousers. Instead, almost transparent linnen skirts. The world already was perfect for a while in 2004. Therefore, I always enjoy seeing Islamic men wearing galabia.

Citrus Sinensis II

1. Orangina posters by Bernard Villemot, 1972-1986
2. Prada Spring/Summer 2011 campaign

Last night's orange-themed research delivered a striking visual resemblance of Tropician heat. Or shall I say: a blood orange relationship. And blood orange juice is thicker than water. As is commonly known.

Pomegranate Cowboy

Artworks Graham Durward

The naked male body accessorized with a single object. Posing in established manners of online dating profiles. The fruit and the cowboy hat - implicating the personae's true self. So the question is: What kind of person is he?

Kitten Love XXXI

Top Danny Hoggins by Lonny Spence
Bottom Enigma Bone by William T. Wiley

A beautiful pairing. And probably the best use of leopard on a guy I've seen so far. Everything is perfect. The hat. The earring. And the coat. Of course. I'm ready for marriage.

Shopping Bag Fight

Moschino Cheap & Chic Fall/Winter 2010 vs. Tim Eitel 'Asphalt'

Mass consumption, kitsch and Neue Leipziger Schule. Unreflected gossip girl mentality versus social criticism? Status symbols versus irony? Besides all speculations and interpretations: What counts in the end is that you can wear your shopping bag as a hat this fall!

Tachycardia

Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2011

I got shivers and a warm feeling inside my stomach when this collection ascended in my consciousness. It left me satisfied. The proportions, the architectual, the feminity. Stefano Pilati reigns on the highest ranks.
