Maison Martin Margiela Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2011

Earlier today, the infamous Maison fulfilled a Horst prophecy and presented transparent suits and plastic raincoats. Besides, the post-baroque Hotel Maison Champs Elysées delivered the backdrop for brutalist motorcycle jackets and tape-draped evening dresses.

Ritual

Walter van Beirendonck Fall/Winter 2011

Fashion's only true Bärchen surprised us with a tailored and quite conservative approach. Picturing the modern shaman. Whose suit is gradually conquered by colour and absurdity. The dichotomy of the tamed and feral perfectly summarized by hair sculptures - an aesthetic topic also discussed here.

Hype Re-Hype

Kris van Assche Fall/Winter 2011

Yesterday I officially declared the rise of a new emperor. Kris van Assche redeemed my dehydrated body with vitamin water and an outstandingly good collection. Sleek skinny suits with slightly displaced pockets. Oversized dress-like jumpers. Fashion orgasm.

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.

Debut Feature

Kenzo Spring/Summer 2011

What a pleasingly nice collection. A light all-printed summer suit. A transparent grey nylon coat. And a cable knit twin set. With these offerings, Kenzo celebrates its well-deserved premiere on Lynn & Horst.

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.

Spectacle

Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer 1989

Horst is growing old and therefore concluded to refine his serious appearance. With a classic pair of Giorgio Armani frames. The perfect complement to combed-back hair, suit and black turtleneck.

Vanilla Coating

Patrik Ervell Fall/Winter 2010

Caramelised sugar, vanilla cream and a silver spoon. This collection feels a bit like crème brûlée. Patrik Ervell succeeds in defining the tastful, timeless and elegant.

Analgetic

A new male couple to adore. Beautiful music that evokes memories of most beloved Prefab Sprout. Accompanied by impeccable style. The perfect boy band is stuck in former times, wearing suits and combed back hair. The perfect boy band Hurts.
