Helmut Was Here

Strait jackets and tongue piercings. Lace front pants and leather gloves. The inventory of a decade that lasts longer than just ten years. Once again recalling the legacy of a master who has found his retreat on a chicken farm.

Giving myself over to the principles of obsession. I am not innocent. I am not living the lie. I do what I preach. I am what I write. I can't be tamed. My homage to Margiela and Mapplethorpe.

Boobarella

From lederhosen to dirndl. From leather pants to leather shell bras. i guess I'll just have to accept the fact that I like leather in any context. Luckily I can compensate this with my appetite for art.

Act Of Compensation

Julius Spring/Summer 2011

Although I didn't find the perfect lederhosen yet (they have to be black, they have to be flower embroidered, they have to fit), I made the pleasant encounter with pieces from the Julius SS11 collection. Maybe they will have to do instead.

Rippchen & Kraut II

Marios Schwab Fall/Winter 2011

A man in lederhosen is ideally accompanied by a woman in Marios Schwab. His Austrain heart establishing the post-modernist dirndl. The geared-up maid satisfying our SM fantasies.

For those of you who still seek inspiration for our drag race (yes, I won't stop reminding you), I recommend to pick a 90s trance techno outfit. The deadline still is 15th of March. So get your act together!

Sobriety

Marni Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Man Ray Seguidilla 1919

After seeing run over animals in the latest Roberto Cavalli collection and suffering Vodka hangover, my mind seeks and finds calmness in a subtle composition. And now I want these shoes.

Techno Goth

Julius Fall/Winter 2011

There assuredly is the necessity to analyse the re-emerging techno phenomenon. The most interesting part about its latest deployment is the blending with contrary genres. Does the new New Romantic listen to hardcore?

The Return

1. Sean & Seng, Damir Doma
2. Robert Mapplethorpe, Petar Petrov
3. Robert Mapplethorpe, Ann Demeulemeester

As previously indicated Paris promoted a beautiful dark twisted fantasy of male sexuality. Paris gave men leather pants. It's a question of belief. And baby, I believe that you were ment for me. And if there's somebody, then baby I believe.

My Prerogative

1. Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2011
2. Andy Warhol
3. Julius Spring/Summer 2011

Mental preparations. Less than two weeks left. Synchronizing memories and assembling formal elements, abstract impressions. How would one describe it? How would one wear it? It's an amour fou.
