Glam Rock

Prada Fall/Winter 2011

Of course my forecast was totally wrong. But I had a good intuition for the colour palette and general atmosphere. No bootcut. But cropped. No corduroy. But suede. No paisley. But glitter. Résumé: I could do that.

Fruit Salad

Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2011

Oops! He did it again! Deep in my heart I was hoping and expecting a renunciation to colour. Hasn't happened. So my wardrobe will have to pause another season. I do like mangos though.

Extravaganza

Prada Spring/Summer 2011

The ugly beautiful amazingness of Miuccia Prada. Hourglass silhouettes. Minimalism charged with tackiness. Striped fox tail stoles. Op-art sombrero hats. Lonely island iconography. Too much to handle, so much to love.

Marmoreal

Giuliano Fujiwara Spring/Summer 2011

As always Fujiwara presented a well thought-out collection. Cohesive variations of one theme, introducing a range of rubber boots inspired shoes and sandals marked by cross-references to show wrestling and superheroes. I'll take a pair.

Parachute Test

Albino Deuxieme Spring/Summer 2011

Two looks that left me with instant desire. Not at least due to the fact that I always felt attracted to men wearing sandals with socks. Nothing is more traditionally German, more Horst.

Emergency Room

Prada Spring/Summer 2011

Ill-fitting shirts reminiscent of scrubs, oversized and flat. Neon coloured sunglasses worn around the neck instead of a stethoscope. Miuccia's man is a cosmetic surgeon. And I'd like my chin and cheekbones done.

Mind Candy

Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 2011

Welcome to the fetish club. Finally Milan plays its strength. Delivering delicate offerings for the next summer season. Armani more and more follows a change of direction. Much to our amusement.

Honest Proposal

Calvin Klein Spring/Summer 2011

In fact, nothing is nicer than the urgent impulse to write about something. The need to show and discuss it. Or to praise it. I always believed in the Calvin Klein man. And I never got disappointed. So, will you marry me?
