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.

Still Life, Still

1. Marble and glass vases, white Maison Martin Margiela box
2. Porcelain deer, Fantastic Man perfume and fleur de sel

The reduction of myself as an object.

Respective

1. Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2007 & Fall/Winter 2007
2. Prada Spring/Summer 2003 & Jean-Francois Campos for Numéro Tokyo, May 2009
3. Yuima Nakazato Spring/Summer 2011 & Prada Fall/Winter 2008

I've always enjoyed the indefinable character of metallic textures. And I'm loving my copper Raf Simons x Doc Martens boots. Changing their colour in sync with the surrounding light. Disco.

Citrus Sinensis II

1. Orangina posters by Bernard Villemot, 1972-1986
2. Prada Spring/Summer 2011 campaign

Last night's orange-themed research delivered a striking visual resemblance of Tropician heat. Or shall I say: a blood orange relationship. And blood orange juice is thicker than water. As is commonly known.

The Burberry Prada Scandal

Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Prada Fall/Winter 2006 & 2007

Yes, I did like the coat-obsessed Burberry collection. And I thank Christopher Bailey for listening to Horst and incorporating plastic raincoats in the finale. But why does no one criticise the blatant reference to Prada Fall/Winter 2006 and 2007?
