Techno Goth II

Yuima Nakazato Spring/Summer 2011

As the saga continues, the aggression of industrial beats and broken toilet mirrors is molded into fragmented versions of the men's dress. Quoting the stylised idea of a post German underground techno club.

One might have already noticed a certain fascination for tribal tattoos. But a Horst knows no mercy. And he wants it all. He wants it back. Here and now. What am I talking about? Piercings and techno grunge fetish wear.

Ritual

Walter van Beirendonck Fall/Winter 2011

Fashion's only true Bärchen surprised us with a tailored and quite conservative approach. Picturing the modern shaman. Whose suit is gradually conquered by colour and absurdity. The dichotomy of the tamed and feral perfectly summarized by hair sculptures - an aesthetic topic also discussed here.

Hype Re-Hype

Kris van Assche Fall/Winter 2011

Yesterday I officially declared the rise of a new emperor. Kris van Assche redeemed my dehydrated body with vitamin water and an outstandingly good collection. Sleek skinny suits with slightly displaced pockets. Oversized dress-like jumpers. Fashion orgasm.

P.S.: Tony Ward sat front row.

Winter Sleep

Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2006

This collection captures my current condition best. Wrapped in blankets and thermal wear. Minus degrees and black currant tea. When having a closer look, I do wish for Rick Owens's return to skinny boys sportswear.

Little Dress Fight

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2010 vs. Alex Katz The Black Dress, 1960

Two artists in their own right. Two interpretations of one timeless classic. The uniform of the intellectual elite. The little black dress. Now available for both sexes. I'm a woman.

Rodarte Spring/Summer 2009

Devendra Banhart in Rodarte. A beautiful paring. Without doubt. Anymore objections against the Men's Dress?

Digitally Remastered

Laitinen Spring/Summer 2011

Jackets and waistcoats with detachable kilts. Washed raindeer leather pants with side lacings. Digitally printed shirts with a double layered hem. And finally, the reintroduction of the sarong, loosely knot around the waist. With these offerings, Anna and Tuomas Laitinen continue in transforming their signature into reworked concepts of manhood.

170 BPM

Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2011

My first thought: Techno. Extreme flares, tight cycling shorts and pencil skirts. White, pink and lemon. Impregnated T-shirts, shiny tops and sleeveles jackets. I'm a late 90s teenager again.
