Antagonism

Lilly Heine Graduate collection

To do her justice and worship the exquisit craftsmanship, Lilly Heine's CSM graduate collection in full beauty. Most remarkable is the fragility that has been achieved by superposing severe geometric shapes. Multiplication and an exuberant use of fabric that translate into minimalist garments. In this case, more is less.

Nude Feminity Fight

Lilly Heine Graduate collection vs. Tit scarf

By building up multiple layers of lasercut wool crepe, Lilly Heine creates three-dimensional shapes of severe precision. Literally adding a new dimension to textile technology. I can hear Prada knocking on her door.

Suspended In Time

Hussein Chalayan's suspender overknees for Fall/Winter 2009 left me speechless and obsessed. Fortunately, this detail is an eternal classic in a gentleman's wardrobe. Time for resurrection.

Klingon III

Ara Jo CSM BA Graduate Collection 2009

The CMS graduates seemingly explored the endless depths of sado maso sci-fi futurism. Caught in cages, powdered with start dust. Intense visions in black and nude.

Klingon II

Tessa Edwards CSM BA Graduate Collection 2009

My prediction becomes reality. Sci-fi phantasies won't happen soon, but we can dress like we were living them. The textures and construction feels very fetish too me, very delicate. I would love to see the men's version beamed onto my body.

Steel Muscle Fight

Kye CSM Graduate Collection 2009 vs. He-Man

Yes, I should go to the gym. My German beer belly is annoying. I want a sixpack. But isn't the gym unbearably boring? Rather just put on a soft and smooth muscle jumper, no?

Hellfire

Stephanie Adshead Central Saint Martins BA Graduate 2009

While everyone is so in love with Christopher Kane's atomic prints for his Resort Collection, I can warmly recommend Stephanie Adshead's interpretation of hot womenswear. And I wouldn't say ,No' to one of these trousers.

Nothing But

Daisy Hee Eun Lew Central Saint Martins BA Womenswear 2009

I don't need kindergarten play with multiple colours and crazy materials. I can do without supersized bows, wrapping paper dresses and clown costumes. I just want pure white space, caressing the female figure.

Prolonged Innocence

Wayne Fitzell Fall/Winter 2009

My favorite of the Central Saint Martins MA graduate shows. Schoolboy looks, leather harness, giraffe prints. So cute. Someone was reading my mind. Scandalous.
