Horst Decoration, Issue 1




1. New Berlin Sofa Acne, Door Wallpaper Maison Martin Margiela
2. Bottle Dryer as chandelier Marcel Duchamps, Venus with Drawers Salvador Dalí
3. Quaderna Table Zanotta, Pineapple Glass Lamp La Maison

Welcome to my surrealist home. Strictly dominated by trompe l'œil furniture. A fake wallpaper door. An optically deformed sofa. A Venus sculpture with drawers. Main materials include concrete, tiles and marble à la Jil Sander FW08.

Prevision: Prada




1. Sean Connery: nude, tattoos, tribal
2. John Lennon: paisley, hippie, flare
3. Robert Redford: corduroy, brown, orange

Tonight is the night. And as the creations of Miuccia Prada are unpredictable, I've challenged myself to do a Prada Fall/Winter 2011 forecast. An illogical suspicion of things that shouldn't belong together. It's a surreal dream.

Confrontation Therapy




Underwear Nikos

As indicated before I have to overcome my aversion to velvet. When I found this black velvet Nikos tanga with mesh cutout detail, me and my therapist were convinced the experiment had succeeded.

Hero Worship

Part 14: RuPaul





These days I've been infiltrated by the genius of RuPaul. And it's not all about her fashion extravaganza. It's the sound of her voice and the sharp tongue. Eats your heart out.

Dream Marriage




House of Holland, Blumarine & Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2011

A Russian dating service advertisement caught my attention while watching ANTM so I had to stop and share my latest longing with you: I really want a fake blonde barbie girlfriend with big boobs. If you are her, please contact me.

Extravaganza






Prada Spring/Summer 2011

The ugly beautiful amazingness of Miuccia Prada. Hourglass silhouettes. Minimalism charged with tackiness. Striped fox tail stoles. Op-art sombrero hats. Lonely island iconography. Too much to handle, so much to love.

Forbidden Love II






I herewith declare the comeback of a fashion sin: the tribal T-shirt. Even unfashionable people don't wear it anymore. And that's our chance. Time for a statement. Time for late 90s German technowear. There is only one rule: It needs to be minimalist.

Forbidden Love

My learning after being at a temple of fitness this morning, and I know it is unexcusable: I feel attracted to the utmost evil invention of the 90s - the tribal tattoo! Who's gonna put me back onto the right path?

Barbie Fashion




Armani Fall/Winter 2000
Cavalli Spring/Summer 2004 & Gucci Spring/Summer 2002
Cavalli Fall/Winter 2003 & Versace Spring/Summer 2003

I actually do miss Barbie Fashion. I wanna see tacky girls in metallic pink bell-bottoms, big 3-Wetter-Taft hair, fake fur and mini skirts. Now that we've learned to dress in black draped pieces by Haider Ackermann and Ann Demeulemeester we should have a quick shopping spree in a suburban super mall.
