And Then

The Prodigy - Firestarter 1996

Back to the original. The self-repetitive hardcore of techno grunge. A video that concurrently conveyed subculture into pop culture. Bringing back the faded memory of a pierced and hedonistic MTV generation. Formerly including myself.

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.

The Return

3. Robert Mapplethorpe, Ann Demeulemeester

As previously indicated Paris promoted a beautiful dark twisted fantasy of male sexuality. Paris gave men leather pants. It's a question of belief. And baby, I believe that you were ment for me. And if there's somebody, then baby I believe.

Part 15: Rudolf Nureyev




Photos Unknown, Richard Avedon

Supposedly the best male ballet dancer of the 20th century, his bare athletic perfection has been impressively documented by the aesthete Avedon. A manifest memento of what we aspire.

Medusa: Second Prequel

Facing the condemned and seemingly unaesthetic. The ugly and hated. To finally establish a version of beauty and fascination that is constituted of one's very own fears and preconceptions.

Black Eruption

Kris van Assche Spring/Summer 2011

Talking about dirty hands and intellectual workwear, this collection offers the visual crossover of a motor mechanic's oily biceps and a volcano's ashes spread over white linen sheets.

Portraits Of An Artist II

Images Rainer Fetting & Desmond, Willem de Kooning, Unknown, Unknown, Andrej Dúbravský, Salvador Dalí

Work in progress. Artworks as a result of work. Art as an excuse for sexual workout. Word of mouth and work of hands. Handmade trips of artistic ecstasy. Champagne at gallery openings. Surreal thoughts.

Gym Inspiration

Neneh Cherry - Kisses On The Wind 1989

Isn't her outfit just absolutely flawless. A black high waisted tube skirt and a bra top - nothing else. Buffalo Style merged with minimalsim. Graphic and straight-forward.

Die Umarmung

Some might remember the infamous google game. An ongoing online experiment of randomness. This time I googled the German word Umarmung, to be translated as embrace. I love 90s sepia kitsch.

Kitten Love XXXI

Top Danny Hoggins by Lonny Spence
Bottom Enigma Bone by William T. Wiley

A beautiful pairing. And probably the best use of leopard on a guy I've seen so far. Everything is perfect. The hat. The earring. And the coat. Of course. I'm ready for marriage.

Décolleté

We have discussed the men's skirt, the men's dress, the men's corset. In all consequence, the focus now is on the men's cleavage. Deep necklines and kinky cutouts. This is no crazy invention of the 00s but has historic relevance.
