The Farhi Simons Scandal

Nicole Farhi Spring/Summer 2012 vs. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2011 & 2008

As the previous Farhi scandals have been quite easy to grasp, this one takes on complexity and merges various Raf Simons collections. Mere copy or honest tribute? Who will be throwing the first stone?

Part 15: TLC





Good fashion. Feel good moments. Three girls in metallic latex jumpsuits. Front-laced waistcoats. Suede fringe mini skirts. In cropped gym tops and wide cargo trousers. Highlights and belly buttons.

Bottom Unknown

Givenchy, hit me baby one more time. Recalling the wrestling suit. A true slap in the face. The furious but tender kind that feels best. Leaving behind red cheeks and dirty thoughts.

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.

Veterinary Surgeon

Tillmann Lauterbach Fall/Winter 2011

The one collection that evoked strongest inner excitement. Tailoring with triangular collar detail, latex gloves and shirts with elongated backs. Accompanied by the cracking soundtrack of open fire.

My beautiful dolls! One week left for your contest submissions. Don't be a drag, just be a queen. Bring out your heels and toss that wig. I expect nothing less than Pandemonia.

The Doomed

Cheap Monday Fall/Winter 2011

We are already living in a cyber world. We have digital avatars on Facebook, supposedly representing ourselves. We do live a post-apocalyptic life. And don't even need an Armageddon. So let's dress if there was no tomorrow. For god's sake!

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.

Part 12: Katie Price





I sincerely apologize for this post. But recently I fell in love with Katie Price. Touched by her duet with Peter Andre. And positively shocked seeing her performing in a shiny pink catsuit. This is what I want when wishing for a Barbie Fashion revival.
