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.

Velum Vellum

Artworks Paul Cadmus

I always felt attracted to magic realism. How the clothes cover the bodies like a second skin. Only appearing as an alibi for nudity and eroticism. But also adding an ease, lightness and vulnerability.

Absolutism

Bruce Weber Roberto Bolle: An Athlete in Tights

Another essential addition to any photography/art collection. A beautiful selection and assemblage of photographs, drawings, commentary and further aesthetic references. Unifying everything we want and desire from a Bruce Weber monograph.

En Dehors

There reigns a certain fascination for elitarism and unifrom dress codes in sports. Following my admiration for fencing, I'd like to pay homage to ballet. French intellectualism. Men in tights. The infamous dance belt.

Never Forget

Vanessa Amorosi - Absolutely Everybody

It all just makes no sense. The lyrics, the video, the attempt of a new girl power pop icon. It's disgustingly beautiful. And her name, what the f***. Amorosi? Reminds me of amaranth cookies, haha!

OMG

Beyonce - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)

What a dance performance. Micheal Jackson is nothing compared to this. We all pine for bootilicious iconic superwomen to admire. Grace Jones was gone but came back with an awful Dazed spread. Brigitte is still in rehab, but hej, there she is: Beyonce. And she has 10m legs as well. Embrace our new Horst icon.

Bernhard Dance Company

After his art project Men In Tights here's Bernhard Willhelms Fall/Winter 08 collection. And surprise, surprise we see a lot of tights. A lot of naked skin. But this time also really nice and wearable clothes.
