Light And Darkness

Peachoo+Krejberg Spring/Summer 2010

While other collections (unuttered reference to Gareth Pugh's pale descendants of death) scare me, these soft silhouettes and geometric black & white prints just captured my heart.

Lad Musician Fall/Winter 2009

How beautiful. A triangle symphony. Pointy edged waistcoats and jackets creating zigzag layering. I'm quite tempted.

A Mockumentary

Hernández Cornet Spring/Summer 2010

Raw edged frills, unbleached toile cotton, printed crinkle effects. A design exercise that incorporates mock-ups and mishappenings as an undeniable and necessary part of the actual result. The word final does not exist. Instead, it recreates itself through garments that resemble unfinished sentences, accompanied by a light and apparitional question mark, dangerously wafting in the air.

Archetype

One can never have enough of Grace Jones' grace. A strong body in artificially sculptured poses.

P.S.: The Eiffel Tower in the background is calling me.

Onblur

Natascha Stolle Fall/Winter 2009

These tights. Wads of smoke ascending from the ground. Enlacing the leg, seducing the eye, conquering the heart.

Climb

Video stills from the first film by Collier Schorr for Tim Hamilton Spring/Summer 2010. Gym. Muscles. Sweat. Strong arms grasping a rope. Exhausted bodies, raw hands.

Floral Drape Fight

Moschino Spring/Summer 2010 vs. Frida Kahlo

Synapses create beautiful image layers in my mind's eye. And in this case, the similarities are surreal.

The image of Jil Sander has always been linked with the minimalist aspect. Purism and simplicity. Once regarding a whole decade, the aesthetics do not appear so radically restraint. Clothes that are subtly complicated from the inside. And intellectual from the outside. Personally, I think that it was Raf Simons who revived the brand's true essence and character of what everyone primarily perceived to symbolize Jil Sander.
