Wendy & Jim Spring/Summer 2001 - Fall/Winter 2007

What do I like about Wendy & Jim? The notion that its wearer has just escaped a mental hospital. Or is still drunk from the night before. It translates confusion. Can somebody now please help me with that strait jacket?!

Best Of Miu Miu

Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2000 - Fall/Winter 2010

Women: paisley, frills, flower embroidery, pleating, plateau heels.
Men: studs, stars, ties, brooches, sandals & socks. School girls and nerds.
Apples and pears. Naughty virginity versus daring naïvety.

Linear Poetry

Top Sloane, Peter Stichbury, 2000
Bottom Maison à Bordeaux, OMA, 2002

An image I'd like to hang in a house I'd like to own. Neo-realism and puristic construction. Blue, black and red. The face rebuilt in architecture. The suit a hill, the white shirt's collar a declining brick wall.

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.
