Reality Bites

Whyred Spring/Summer 2011

I know it looks boring, but let's be honest: That's what I will buy, that's how I actually dress. Am I destroying an illusion now? I appreciate these clothes in an everyday context. The only thing I am asking myself: Do they have to appear on a runway?

Presentiment

Yves Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 1999

When concepts of identity merge. Hedi Slimane for Yves Saint Laurent. How vividly these looks predetermined the later Dior Homme future. How interesting to see an aesthetic evolve that is bound to a name, to a luxury label. When will he return?

Another Variation

Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2011

Colour. And flowers. I agree it is a reference to the minimalist core of an early Jil Sander. Accordingly pure is the self-repetition of Raf Simons and his encounter with waist-conscious tailoring and a short shorts spirited mind.
