The Burberry Prada Scandal

Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2011 vs. Prada Fall/Winter 2006 & 2007

Yes, I did like the coat-obsessed Burberry collection. And I thank Christopher Bailey for listening to Horst and incorporating plastic raincoats in the finale. But why does no one criticise the blatant reference to Prada Fall/Winter 2006 and 2007?

Sex In The Woods

1. Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2007 & Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2010
2. Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2002 & Rag & Bone Fall/Winter 2010

I am still turned on by the idea of creating a forest worker. To make it easier attaining this look I have compiled a few hard-on looks from my vast fashion archive. Work it!

Sans Substitute

Fendi Fall/Winter 2007 & Spring/Summer 2007

There has been one year in the history of Fendi that demands closer inspection. 2007 offered impeccable cut and attention to material. As a result I am truly melancholic regarding the fact that the menswear line as such doesn't exist anymore. Maybe I have to comfort myself with a logo bag.

Thermal Conditioning

Dior Homme Fall/Winter 2007

I quite adore the layering of this collection. Heavy knit cuffs, waistcoats, loose tapered trousers, overlong sleeves. This is how I like to dress. This is who I want to be.

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2007 and Spring/Summer 2008

The collection of Raf Simons pieces in the house of Horst slowly but continuously grows. This time I delight myself with rare pieces from Fall/Winter 2007 and Spring/Summer 2008. A black 3D structured space uniform knit and a light grey linen dress shirt.

Prada Fall/Winter 2007

Developing undeniable strength and inevitable impact during the second half of the decade, Prada re-invents fashion's relevance and becomes cultural heritage. An iconic pioneer of its time.

Space Suit

Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2007

Another Dolce & Gabbana moment, je regrette. But I think I have to act out my fascination for the embodiment of Italian tackiness. Keep a stiff upper lip until it's over.

Bestiality

John Galliano Fall/Winter 2007

The best Galliano menswear show ever. Post-apocalyptic monsters constituted of dirt, oil and cables. Creatures of raw sexuality. Evoking mud fight fantasies.

Furious

Prada Fall/Winter 2007

How amazing was this collection. I am still holding my breath. Massive fur attraction. So wonderful and soft as cotton candy and chest hair. Excuse my weird connotations. But this is the eptiome of a winter collection.

Sinha-Stanic Fall/Winter 2008

It's just very very good. A bit Jil Sander architecture, a bit Balenciaga futurism. Strong, severe shapes mixed with glittering, reflective details. Skillfully combining the strengths of contemporary womenswear design. Very sophisticated, chic and kitschy at the same time.
