One might have already noticed a certain fascination for tribal tattoos. But a Horst knows no mercy. And he wants it all. He wants it back. Here and now. What am I talking about? Piercings and techno grunge fetish wear.

Medusa: Second Prequel

1. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2010 by Satoshi Saikusa
2. Li, H.R. Giger 1974

Facing the condemned and seemingly unaesthetic. The ugly and hated. To finally establish a version of beauty and fascination that is constituted of one's very own fears and preconceptions.

Love-Hate Relationship

1. Robert Maxwell, Rolling Stone 1997
2. Patrick Demarchelier & Marc Jacobs campaign by Jürgen Teller
3. Patrick Demarchelier & Yves Sain Laurent Fall/Winter 2008

Shirt Marc Jacobs
Reversed waistcoat Vintage
