Ritual

Walter van Beirendonck Fall/Winter 2011

Fashion's only true Bärchen surprised us with a tailored and quite conservative approach. Picturing the modern shaman. Whose suit is gradually conquered by colour and absurdity. The dichotomy of the tamed and feral perfectly summarized by hair sculptures - an aesthetic topic also discussed here.

Suggestion #5

Sandals, Lanvin Spring/Summer 2011

If you pick anything snakeskin related from the Lanvin menswear collection as my christmas gift you won't have to keep the receipt. I'll take it! If it's not the briefcase, I am also happy about those lovely trekking sandals.

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.

Escapism

Mihara Yasuhiro Fall/Winter 2006

The time has come. I've always denied it and never ascribed any relevance to it. But given this collection I am ready for men in bootcut. Maybe I will still never wear them myself but maybe I was just afraid of it for nothing. And you?

Subtle Hues

Elin Klevmar Graduate Collection

Today I feel like wearing all-white. Unfortunately I don't really have anything white. That's why I have to stay in bed all day and wrap myself in crispy sheets. But I probably won't.

Heir To The Throne

Janosch Malwitz UDK Graduate Collection

I am feeling excitement. The certainty that we are witnessing something outstanding and fantastic. Detachable leather boots. Fishing, biking and skydiving references. I just can't get over the brilliancy, how devastatingly beautiful and forward-thinking this collection is. A new Raf Simons has emerged.

Debut Feature

Kenzo Spring/Summer 2011

What a pleasingly nice collection. A light all-printed summer suit. A transparent grey nylon coat. And a cable knit twin set. With these offerings, Kenzo celebrates its well-deserved premiere on Lynn & Horst.

Dispartment

Wooyoungmi Spring/Summer 2011

First and foremost: the glasses are divine. A remarkable collection aiming for the modern humanist and poet. The adequate wardrobe for a man who is dedicated to scientific research and the critical discourse.

Recurrent Rebirth

Artworks Alexander Tinei

Broken beings metaphorically dipped into clay and repainted with fine blue lines. Insanity paired with a neo-romantic world view. Their multi-stage reconstitution marked by an inner demonic fight.

Exfoliation

Mihara Yasuhiro Fall/Winter 2010

Besides a beautiful setting with live music and diagonal rows of wooden chairs, reminiscent of old school days, the collection spoke to me due to this particular trompe l'œil effect of crinkled fabric. Category: insatiable desire.

Vanilla Coating

Patrik Ervell Fall/Winter 2010

Caramelised sugar, vanilla cream and a silver spoon. This collection feels a bit like crème brûlée. Patrik Ervell succeeds in defining the tastful, timeless and elegant.
