1. Comme des Garçons x Speedo
2. 1950s Vintage
3. Dior Homme

I am currently undergoing a fixation for speedos. Black, tight, minimalist. Comme des Garçons, Dior Homme or, obviosuly, Speedo. Who will advice and guide me to the best package?

The Farhi Simons Scandal

Nicole Farhi Spring/Summer 2012 vs. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2011 & 2008

As the previous Farhi scandals have been quite easy to grasp, this one takes on complexity and merges various Raf Simons collections. Mere copy or honest tribute? Who will be throwing the first stone?

Brainchild

Nina Donis Fall/Winter 2011

Remotely to be described as post-minimalist, in remembrance of a genius known as Helmut Lang. Containing all we'd have expected from the master himself. Maybe just subconsciously but nonetheless perfect.

Winter Sleep

Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2006

This collection captures my current condition best. Wrapped in blankets and thermal wear. Minus degrees and black currant tea. When having a closer look, I do wish for Rick Owens's return to skinny boys sportswear.

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.

Sans Substitute

Fendi Fall/Winter 2007 & Spring/Summer 2007

There has been one year in the history of Fendi that demands closer inspection. 2007 offered impeccable cut and attention to material. As a result I am truly melancholic regarding the fact that the menswear line as such doesn't exist anymore. Maybe I have to comfort myself with a logo bag.

Pathfinder

Topman Design Spring/Summer 2011

I fell in love with the Topman boy. We went camping together, roasted marshmallows over an open fire and washed our dirty clothes in a river nearby. Sometimes I wasn't quite sure if he was actually wearing shorts or a skirt.

Yesterday & Tomorrow

Top Nike campaign, Fall/Winter 1988
Bottom Attitude Magazine, September 2010

My obsession for sportswear continues, or let's rather say cyclingwear. Streamline, skintight, high-tech cuts and materials. Courier-themed sexiness. And please have a look at the claim.

Flashback

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2009

The perfect sneaker. The exuberant explosion of colour and structure. A classic suit's best friend. In fact, Horst's new best friend. Rivets, mesh and detachable neoprene gaiters.

Discipline

Neon and neoprene. High performance utility wear and high fashion. Skintight and structured. There is a reason I always liked to watch swimming in television.

Heir To The Throne

Janosch Malwitz UDK Graduate Collection

I am feeling excitement. The certainty that we are witnessing something outstanding and fantastic. Detachable leather boots. Fishing, biking and skydiving references. I just can't get over the brilliancy, how devastatingly beautiful and forward-thinking this collection is. A new Raf Simons has emerged.
