Bittersweet Contradictions

Martine Rose Spring/Summer 2011

It's a small step from tribal to ornamental. And that's why I love Martine Rose. Accomplishing the task of melding the kinky and the romantic. And yes, I want those chaps my dear!

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.

Tenderness

Satyenkumar Spring/Summer 2010

After all the womenswear shows, we need some men! London finally gives us some testosterone - although in slightly soft and alleviated doses. Pastels and sheer are strong. Undeniably. And we love it.

Synthesis

Spon Diogo Spring/Summer 2010

Amazingness. Simultaneously soft and rough with a tiny little reference to my one and only woman of desire, Brigitte Nielsen. Resurrected through a high-cut silver body.

Impregnation

Neil Barrett Spring/Summer 2010

I have a Miuccia Prada meets Raf Simons moment. Very reminiscent of their respective Fall/Winter 09 collections translated into Spring/Summer. The question is: Is this good or bad?

Gentle Treatment

Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 & Superbly Restorative Skin Salve

Bit by bit I am developing a sense for beauty products and treatments. Something that should not be missing to complete one's highly valued decadent lifestyle. A Horst is still a Horst, but his skin feels better...
