Confrontation Therapy

Underwear Nikos

As indicated before I have to overcome my aversion to velvet. When I found this black velvet Nikos tanga with mesh cutout detail, me and my therapist were convinced the experiment had succeeded.

Medusa: Main Corpus

Top Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2010

Medusa's snakes have chosen me. An eternal spell engraved onto my skin. Tattooed by a thin frayed layer of organza. The prophecy of our precedent prequel has fulfilled itself. And I devote myself.

Razor Thorn

Jacket JULIAANDBEN

A rare feeling. Putting on a garment for the very first time - and knowing it's perfection. Love at first sight. Let's never break up. Let's walk through the sun and through the rain.

Razor Blazer available here.

Playground Love

All clothes MTWTFSS

Rude boys have a tender heart. Bomber jacket, bondage jeans, steel-toed leather boots - as hard the outer layers appear, as insistent the garments reflect a dispiteous character, they still can't cover the fact that their wearer cries at night.

Replica V

Horst Meier vs. Francis Bacon



Top Maison Martin Margiela

Sitting portrait, tired posture, purity, untouched moment, rawness. Weakness and meat. I love Bacon.

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.

Acknowledgment Of Gratitude

Crinkled shirt Ana Hernández-Cornet
Flip sunglasses Asger Juel Larsen

A declaration of love to the determination and devotedness of two outstanding design personalities. Both adding relevance to a system called fashion and creating self-reflected identity with every garment.

Replica IV

Horst Meier vs. Edvard Munch



Hair shampoo Swiss o Par
Toothpaste Euthymol

Munch's 'Weeping Nude' reincarnated via purple hair shampoo, pink toothpaste and wet skin. The structure and raw gesture of his painting technique is pathetically imitated with Photoshop. Hence, the reality becomes fluid.

Intellectualism

Glasses Giorgio Armani

May I introduce to you: Armani, Giorgio Armani.

Replica III

Horst Meier vs. Salvador Dalí



Shirt Marc Jacobs
Reversed waistcoat Vintage
Bowl Habitat

Salvador Dalí's landscape paintings usually request a 300 pages handbook to decipher the layered meaning. For my interpretation I replaced the art-historic papers with ripped magazine spreads and advertisements rebuilding a surreal Dalí scenery.
