Tropical Heat












1. Martin Honert Fata Morgana & Kenzo Spring/Summer 2012
2. Henri Rousseau Éclaireurs attaqués par un tigre & Givenchy Spring/Summer 2012
3. Andreas Gursky Beach & Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2012
4. Jeremy Parnell Big Chook & Prada Spring/Summer 2012

It's about beaches and jungles, flowers and sand castles. Childhood memories, vacation traumata and global warming are melting and diffusing into each other. Just like a bar of rainbow coloured ice cream. In 2012, men wear Hawaii shirts, bermuda shorts and (hopefully) banana skirts.

Phallic Masculinity



1. Gianni Versace 1993
2. Jeff Laudenslager

If you open your shirt, structures are unveiled. If you wear short shorts, three-dimensional altitudes appear. If you combine the round and soft with the square and hard, you are a black and white striped sculpture in a silk shirt.

Anacrusis



1. Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2011
2. Tom Ford Unknown collection

Same same but different. As the men's robe seems to be a Tom Ford signature, I've decided to investigate further on this (mostly bare chested) subject. Results will supposedly be shared here.

Thermo Conversion Fight



Yohji Yamamoto Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Global Warming

Yohji trusts in global warming. According to his latest offering, women will go out in sheer black negligé dresses in winter 2011. The hair probably already indicating the change of nature.

Ink Survey




Photos Unknown, Hedi Slimane, Ignazio Lozano

As long as I don't hear any protest, the promotion of war painted bodies will proceed. I am curious: Who really is tattooed? Whose skin is showing indigenous artworks? Whose back is decorated by a slag tag?

Best Of Miu Miu
























Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2000 - Fall/Winter 2010

Women: paisley, frills, flower embroidery, pleating, plateau heels.
Men: studs, stars, ties, brooches, sandals & socks. School girls and nerds.
Apples and pears. Naughty virginity versus daring naïvety.
