Raf Sander

Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2012

I'm feeling it. Like totally. I mean. 2012 is going to be a Raf Sander year. It is about the shape as predicted. The square thing around a boys neck. Coloured python and plastic raincoats. Bananas.

Snakeskin belt Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2011

Better late than never. I really don't know where it suddenly came from. But the Comme poison has pervaded my veins. The result is unresistance. And the hindsight that sometimes it's love at second sight.

Amuse Gueule

Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2011

This season Dries was all about the shoes. Blue velvet. Green snake. Black fur. Plexiglas heels and op-art socks. As I won't be wearing any of them, I'll bake red velvet cupcakes today.

Contortionists

1. Missoni Fall/Winter 2011
2. Playgirl Man for March

It's a delicate topic. Snakes and the texture of their skin are of rare beauty. And therefore must be protected. Therefore, we can either fake it. Or do it like Salma.

Suggestion #5

Sandals, Lanvin Spring/Summer 2011

If you pick anything snakeskin related from the Lanvin menswear collection as my christmas gift you won't have to keep the receipt. I'll take it! If it's not the briefcase, I am also happy about those lovely trekking sandals.

Python

Lanvin Fall/Winter 2010

The dangerous thing about fashion is that once you have satisfied one desire, the next one appears. There is no logic correlation, things just unconsciously manifest themselves in my mind. And now I want snakeskin boots.
