Confrontation Therapy

Underwear Nikos

As indicated before I have to overcome my aversion to velvet. When I found this black velvet Nikos tanga with mesh cutout detail, me and my therapist were convinced the experiment had succeeded.

Super Mission

Issey Miyake Spring/Summer 2005

I'm sorry but it seems I cannot resist utilitywear for a while. Carrying the idea to be ready at any time. Always perfectly equipped with bizarre tools and weapons. How charming and attractive.

I think I am allowed to post half-naked guys again, am I? I mean I haven't posted fresh meat in ages, non? Personally, I cannot remember anything like that. This is an intellectual art blog. Sure, sure.

Ambitions

After discovering my love for and indulging myself in wearing tanga briefs, the next mission is to find the perfect body suit. Preferably minimalist, pure cotton, no funny details. Anyone?

Tan Advice

Beloved readers, where shall I go on beach vacation? Any recommendations, hidden places, abandoned spaces? Preferably a region where white sand and beautiful landscapes clash with the energy of a vibrant city nearby. Marc Jacobs is also very welcome to accompany me.

The best thing about Milan Fashion Week surely is the swimming trunks part. As my mission to turn into a proper Chelsea boy proceeds, I have to prepare myself for the pool and beach season. The perfect tricot briefs are pictured above, beautifully staged in a Herbert List manner.

Welcome to the fetish club. Finally Milan plays its strength. Delivering delicate offerings for the next summer season. Armani more and more follows a change of direction. Much to our amusement.

Styling Carine Roitfeld

The inherent resemblance between this Arena Homme + spread and the universe of Lynn & Horst is remarkable. Take a look at the Ugly Underwear Contest. Or remember this certain fur blanket image for the Replica series. The truth is: I am Carine Roitfeld.

Spring/Summer 2003 & Spring/Summer 2007

There it is again: My surrender to D&G. Hidden in a dark corner of my mind. Barbie Fashion for men. Ken Fashion so to speak. Maybe we all want to be a bit of Ken? Except one particular detail of his anatomy.
