Nuclear Whiteness

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2012

Once ahead our time... when we live in underground bunkers, artificial brutalist spaces made of concrete, furnished with leather and Persian carpets. Sleeveless will become the uniform. Tribal tattoos will indicate the social rank.

Whole Again

Anna Michaelis UDK Graduate Show 2011

Complementing thoughts on incomplete garments. Martin Margiela and Helmut Lang tought their lesson well. Cut out or cut away. Either way, I am into it. Especially when combined with sandals and socks.

Comme Comment

Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2008

Some might have noticed that Horst is currently having a little Comme moment. Comme ci, comme ça. Come on. Comment ça va? In fact, Rei Kawakubo is the dadaist of contemporary fashion.

Return On Investment II

1. Helmut Lang Strap T-shirt
2. Raf Simons Fall/Winter 1998

New in my wardrobe. Just to let you know. Just to make you jealous. To adapt to the cliché of fashion blogs. But unfortunately, I won't offer self-portraits straight from the changing room.

Plastic Surgery

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2011

The male body as an object of proportion. Divided. Extremeties opposed in relation. The arm, the musculus biceps brachii as the centre of asymmetric divergence. Fabrics and mind are taken away, then replaced again.

Little Dress Fight

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2010 vs. Alex Katz The Black Dress, 1960

Two artists in their own right. Two interpretations of one timeless classic. The uniform of the intellectual elite. The little black dress. Now available for both sexes. I'm a woman.

Tachycardia

Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2011

I got shivers and a warm feeling inside my stomach when this collection ascended in my consciousness. It left me satisfied. The proportions, the architectual, the feminity. Stefano Pilati reigns on the highest ranks.
