Subjective Sentence

Damir Doma Spring/Summer 2012

To cut things short: This was my favourite collection. It summarized beautifully what I would love and love to wear. Elastic strapped waistcoat constructions. Sensual fashion priests.

1. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2009
2. Givenchy Spring/Summer 2011
3. Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2010

What to wear? What to pack? Your opinion and comment is highly appreciated. Sleeveless and shorts. Leather and leopard. Sequins and muscles. One, two or three? Paris, Paris, Paris.

I am a bipolar personality. Rudimentary. My mind is trained to decide. Black or white. Right or wrong. I take the consequences. And like to think in extremes. There is no doubt about me. I am Horst Demeulemeester.

Balenciaga Saltlakrits

Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2011

Looking at a Balenciaga collection is like eating a chocolate bar. Slowly chewing every bit. Discovering pieces of caramelised hazelnuts and tender swirls of caramel. This time its flavour is salty liquorice.

Collections Wooyoungmi, Ryunshu, Qasimi

Paris is going all leather, And tribal. De mon plaisir! Do I have to feel wrong and guilty if I like that? Will I go to goa techno parties all summer? Probably not. But I will dream of it. Peut-être.

Trojan Horse

Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2011

Set in an ancient-mystical scenery, eternal remembrance might not apply to this collection's pieces. The hype of the season left indifferent. Only noteworthy with its fur-lined lapels and colour-block trousers. Je suis desolée.

My Prerogative

1. Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2011
2. Andy Warhol
3. Julius Spring/Summer 2011

Mental preparations. Less than two weeks left. Synchronizing memories and assembling formal elements, abstract impressions. How would one describe it? How would one wear it? It's an amour fou.

Lesbians On Mars

Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2011

Aggressive skin girls without shaved heads or pitbull dogs. Promoting a hard-bitten version of feminity. Sheer blouses with collar pieces, chunky leather shoes and soft biker jackets. Fulfilling a phrase I always wanted to use.

Innuendo

Glasses Giorgio Armani
Vest Whyred
Waistcoat Acne
Trousers Carin Wester

Somehow swayed by previous Yves Saint Laurent collections, I took inspiration across the seasons and matched voluminous trousers with a fitted vest that, once put together, evoked the look of a jumpsuit. At least I imagined so.

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.
