Anti Körper II

Artworks Carsten Nicolai

Good art does something to you. It becomes part of an inner conceptual archive. Ideally, its theoretical thesis is subtly adapted and applied to one's own physical surroundings. The result can be seen below.

Naturgewalten

1. Keith Sonnier
2. Yves Tanguy

Before we get physical again. Figurative abstraction. Something that looks like a beach. Or a writing in the sky. Two bodies (of work) completing each other. What would be the correspondent runway look?

Eternal Rivalry

Céline Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Arjan Janssen

I'll have to admit: she did it again. Women become a piece of art. The kind of art that will remain for decades. Decent garments with relevance that won't seek visual competition with their wearer.

Singularity

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2011

This collection is not going to be produced - so they say. Well who gives me a neoprene college T-shirt now? Where is my flattened 2D coat? Where my black trash bag plastic trousers? It's a sad sad world.

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.

Suggestion #8

Mark Rothko painting, 1964

While wearing the Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2008 collection on Christmas eve, the perfect additional gift comes as an original Mark Rothko painting. Preferably monochromatic of course.

Suggestion #7

Bauhaus architecture model

Living in a strictly square, cold and clinical concrete box is my idea of perfect architecture. Concrete walls, concrete floors. White furniture, steel kitchen. Emptiness and some flea market findings.

Sans Substitute

Fendi Fall/Winter 2007 & Spring/Summer 2007

There has been one year in the history of Fendi that demands closer inspection. 2007 offered impeccable cut and attention to material. As a result I am truly melancholic regarding the fact that the menswear line as such doesn't exist anymore. Maybe I have to comfort myself with a logo bag.

Razor Thorn

Jacket JULIAANDBEN

A rare feeling. Putting on a garment for the very first time - and knowing it's perfection. Love at first sight. Let's never break up. Let's walk through the sun and through the rain.

Confessions Of An Exhibitionist

Artworks Ellsworth Kelly

Fresh flowers, a glass of red wine. Intellectual thoughts lead to exceptional characters. Reminding myself of which paths my mind seeks to explore. I want nothing. Just nakedness.
