Monolythic I

1. John Chamberlain Trumpery Praxis, 1984
2. Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 2004 campaign

The result of a multiple hours image research. Loosing the source. Investing even more time. Retriving the origin, its name, its year. And recalling even more aesthetic material.

Veterinary Surgeon

Tillmann Lauterbach Fall/Winter 2011

The one collection that evoked strongest inner excitement. Tailoring with triangular collar detail, latex gloves and shirts with elongated backs. Accompanied by the cracking soundtrack of open fire.

Balenciaga Saltlakrits

Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2011

Looking at a Balenciaga collection is like eating a chocolate bar. Slowly chewing every bit. Discovering pieces of caramelised hazelnuts and tender swirls of caramel. This time its flavour is salty liquorice.

Refractions of light for a fractional amount of the original price. My latest acquirement. My treatment for the night. And please: don't be jealous of my booties.

Everything But The Girl

Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2011

Boxy jackets with stylised peacock feathers and silk dresses with white swan prints. It is Miu Miu. It is complex and willing to take risks. It is crazy in a good way. Miuccia Prada is the best womenswear designer. Full stop.

Career Woman

Victoria Stone Graduate collection

Asymmetry and disproportion. The power suit has undergone a mental change. Dissolving in certain areas while heightening in others. Confused and inappropriate in a strinking manner.

Sushi Suits

Calvin Klein Fall/Winter 2010

Matching jackets and trousers that fluorescent like nori sheets. This season, Italo Zucchelli adds a hint of tacky shine to the minimalist, classic and sartorial. And when it comes to the right dosage of risk-taking I am sold.
