Winter Sleep

Rick Owens Fall/Winter 2006

This collection captures my current condition best. Wrapped in blankets and thermal wear. Minus degrees and black currant tea. When having a closer look, I do wish for Rick Owens's return to skinny boys sportswear.

Little Dress Fight

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2010 vs. Alex Katz The Black Dress, 1960

Two artists in their own right. Two interpretations of one timeless classic. The uniform of the intellectual elite. The little black dress. Now available for both sexes. I'm a woman.

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.

Digitally Remastered

Laitinen Spring/Summer 2011

Jackets and waistcoats with detachable kilts. Washed raindeer leather pants with side lacings. Digitally printed shirts with a double layered hem. And finally, the reintroduction of the sarong, loosely knot around the waist. With these offerings, Anna and Tuomas Laitinen continue in transforming their signature into reworked concepts of manhood.

Token Of Esteem

Scarf Juun J.
Jacket Vintage
Sweater Helmut Lang

This scarf braved the elements and a merciless winter. Saturated with my favourite scent it remorselessly fought against minus degrees. As the warmer days arise, this wonderful Juun J. weapon has to be honoured with a photo booth homage.

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.

Norwegian Wood

D&G Fall/Winter 2010

I seriously liked D&G. Knitted jumpsuits with Nordic patterns. Furry monster boots. Glitter safety helmets. But maybe it's just the image above that manipulated my subconscious mind.

Serendipity

Clothes Rick Owens

Wie die Jungfrau zum Kinde - unexpectedly I got myself two wonderful Rick Owens pieces. They were exactly what I was looking for in a long time and suddenly, just like a phantom or a daydream, happened to appear in this shop in South Kensington.

Stellar Vault

Laitinen Spring/Summer 2010

This is a sad boy's world. A monocular vision espying unrivalled beauty. Composed of inimitability and covetousness. His heart is struck by superbly constructed knitwear, consistently elaborate prints and highly impressive leather pieces. The boy breaks down.

Concentration Deficit

The Local Firm Spring/Summer 2010

Loose knit, high gloss pants and jackets, some strap bondage and as a TLF tradition: urban tribe symbolism. Nothing new, nothing bad. But I am missing a little bit of edge.

Pigmentary Abnormality

Blaak Spring/Summer 2010

Ladies in leather jackets. Wearing dotted blouses and biker waistcoats. The raw and the delicate. Aggressive gender transitions.

Positive Thinking

J.W. Anderson Spring/Summer 2009

Definitely some of the nicest summer looks. Wide high-waisted trousers, see-through shirts, knitted tank tops, martial accessories. I feel sand and sandals on my feet. I want ice cream.

Triangle Cycle

Time to loose control. My today's 1 Euro flea market bargain. Knitted jumper with an amazing traingle hole structure. And it looks expensive. Because: Margiela style does not cost a thing.

We love him, we want him. If you haven't read the Ioannis Interview yet, it's about time. It's full of sexiness.

Okay, so after sheer and lace my next recommendation is black leggings, massive boots plus knitted balls. Or just wear nothing but an Indian headdress. Cher already pulled this look off. Who's next?

We love this exaltation.
We want the new temptations.
It's like a revelation.
We live on fascination.

Gif It To Me

Horace Spring/Summer 2009

Here we are again: Black leather, sheer materials, oversized knitwear. Three elements that might become the style formula for 2009. Maybe we should flip the year numbers to 9002 or 90 v.2

G Neck

Gaspard Yurkievich Fall/Winter 2008

Never have I seen a collection offering this extent of beautiful neckline variations. Cable knit with glitter, nylon tops with triangle cuts - they all show high attention to detail. The G Neck is born!
