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.

1. Gucci campaign Fall/Winter 2001
2. Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2002

A little Gucci x Jean Paul Gaultier moment on a friday night can never do wrong. Back cleavage is regrettably underrated. And has mostly been considered a fashion faux-pas. Which is a faux-pas itself.

Polythene Wrap Fight

Maison Martin Margiela Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Bruce LaBruce Hustler White

Many people ask me: Horst, what to wear on Valentine's Day? Well, there surely are plenty of possibilities. But my advice remains simple: Wrap yourself as a gift.

Kitten Love XXXII

Top Givenchy Haute Couture by Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 1997
Bottom Gustav Klimt

They asked me how I knew my true love was true. I of course replied, something here inside cannot be denied. When your heart's on fire, you must realize: Smoke gets in your eyes.

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'.

Neon Letters Fight

Adeline André Fall/Winter 2010 vs. Light writing

The woman who invented the world famous 'three sleeve hole' must be admired for her outré design approach. Continuously challenging and re-forming the term 'wearability'. And again, I am taken by her lightness/light-heartedness.
