Neon and neoprene. High performance utility wear and high fashion. Skintight and structured. There is a reason I always liked to watch swimming in television.

Heir To The Throne

Janosch Malwitz UDK Graduate Collection

I am feeling excitement. The certainty that we are witnessing something outstanding and fantastic. Detachable leather boots. Fishing, biking and skydiving references. I just can't get over the brilliancy, how devastatingly beautiful and forward-thinking this collection is. A new Raf Simons has emerged.

Parachute Test

Albino Deuxieme Spring/Summer 2011

Two looks that left me with instant desire. Not at least due to the fact that I always felt attracted to men wearing sandals with socks. Nothing is more traditionally German, more Horst.

Russki Chic

Gosha Rubchinskiy Spring/Summer 2009

I can't deny a certain fascination and attraction to the East European rude boy aesthetic. Shaved heads, bomber jackets, XL sweaters. Camouflage shorts, tennis socks and cans of beer. It might be the notion of innocence hiding behind the militaristic façade.

Therapy

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2008

Yes, I love Louis Vuitton. Just for the sake of nurses in nylon aprons and lace logo masks. Evoking the desire of being sick and tied to the bed. Literally. By the way, is there a proper term for male nurse? And how would that version look like?

Substratum

Cerruti Fall/Winter 2010

Jesper Borjesson has to be applauded. His reinvention of the Cerruti menswear brand succeeded in respect of modernisation and juvenescence. Sharp suits with matching nylon jackets, variable lengths and a tender colour range of creme, grey and metallics.

G Neck

Gaspard Yurkievich Fall/Winter 2008

Never have I seen a collection offering this extent of beautiful neckline variations. Cable knit with glitter, nylon tops with triangle cuts - they all show high attention to detail. The G Neck is born!

Nuclear Menswear

Dries van Noten Spring/Summer 2008

I really like the bright colors and sheer materials - cause I'm a material boy, hehe.

Flea market vibes

Last weekend I was stylehunting at a flewmarket and made two "precious" catches.

Style 1 Layering: XXXL nylon plastic-boombastic ski jacket meets 80s denim vest, fleece jacket and (comparatively classic) shirt.By the way have you recognized "Käptain Blaubär" (Captain Bluebear) in the front?

Style 2.1 Tiger Lilly: Oh my gosh! Imitate snake skin leggings plus leopard print handbag and matching headband.

Style 2.2 The Man in Blue: The oh-so-famous fleece jacket (please pay attention to his wife who wears exactly the same model... but in red... maybe the most favorite dressing style amongst the species of tasteless German). Not to forget the shoes (if one can call that "shoes"), the 3/4 pants and socks. Yes, it's true. That's reality! Ok, but one thing I have to confess: the blue-checkered shopping trolley is great!

Bonus Style: And when you zoom into the picture, you can also discover the infamous Military Lady!!! Uahhh!

Shine on: Jackets for radio-actives

Labels from up left to down right: So Last Season, Martin Margiela, Ute Ploier, Henrik Vibskov and S2V2

Everyone is talking about global warming. But what about atomic disaster? Make your preparations before it's too late. Get these water- and radiance-resistant jackets and be ready for the day after tomorrow. That's real sustainability.
