A reflection on the smybiosis of photography and fashion - including the oeuvre of houses such as Maison Martin Margiela, Comme des Garcons or Helmut Lang.

Powdered Noses

Photos Guy Bourdin

Extreme angles and surreal close-ups. Sharp light and high-heels. Naked bodies and absurd scenarios. Pubic hair and sausages. Ladies and gentlemen: Guy Bourdin.

Real-size magazine spread runway looks revived. Captured by ingenious Marcelo Krasilcic. I especially adore the food plates arrangement in the second picture.

Drawings like the thinnest and most precious porcelain. Fine and elaborated. And somehow very Paris!

This spread's styling is really amazing. Acupuncture is the new way to go! I've heard it doesn't hurt at all and you can also easily quit smoking. There's surely even more secrets to unveil.

Do Not Feed

One of their best issues ever.

Raf Boys

Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2000
Photographer David Sims

Isolated Heroes is more than a lookbook project. It defined my self-perception and, to a certain degree, also my sexual identity. All strongly tied together by aesthetics, ideals and self-affirmation. It's all about the archetype of male and the image one wants to aply onto oneself.

Animal Instinct

Pussycats were always in. Yesterday...



...today...



... and even the streets of Frankfurt are animalistic.



So fashionable, I can't believe it.

A Letter To NKOTB

Please old daddies dress like you did when you were new kiddies. It's so easy. Just listen to Horst and follow these rules.


1. Dungarees and nothing else


2. Studded leather jacket


3. Ripped jeans, loafers and white tennis socks


4. Silly allover prints


5. American iconography


6. Or just topless

Absolutely Fabulous

George Michael - Too Funky

I love fashion. I love super hero super models. I love the catwalk. And it's all his fault.

Yin & Yang

Hernandez-Cornet Fall/Winter 2008

Fetishism, vulgarity and kitsch - 3 words that describe the work of Ana Hernandez-Cornet. A woman I adore for her conceptual approach and the highly intelligent designs. And I have to confess: her use of 90s iconography, structures and symbols is (breast)feeding my admiration a lot.



A kiss and many thanks for the gift.

King Kong

Christopher Kane Spring/Summer 2009

We are all always looking for something fresh and unseen. And one easily tends to think that fashion just repeats itself. So this collection is a great relief. Christopher Kane went beyond expectations.
