For George

Top Yves Klein, California, 1961
Bottom Unknown

Thank you for last night's talk and your valuable contribution. It became manifest that you have something to say. And I personally wish, I could hear more of it. Last night I thought about the colour blue and Yves Klein. Maybe we can find its meaning in the context of our discussion.

Group Of Four

Tamara De Lempicka vs. Robert Palmer

Women with sleek hair, smokey eyes and red lipstick - a repetitive leitmotif of timeless beauty. Women who use the definitions of sex as their weapon and source of strength.

Evilwear

Heikki Salonen Fall/Winter 2010

When looking at this collection I instantly recall Vivian Ward and Kit de Luca. Their signature elements of appearance: tights, wigs and lipstick. Heikki Salonen gives my beloved Pretty Woman characters a killer edge.

Lipstick

Isn't this image pairing symptomatic for Lynn & Horst? Traces of lipstick on a boy's shoulder. And a voluptuous lips sofa. I always loved this one. Soft kisses on your behind.

Recapitulation

Ephemeral impressions from London Fashion Week. Bernard Chandran plays feather Kabuki. Kinder Aggugini defines Napoleonic goth. Emilio de la Morena decides the world needs more printed dresses. And Belle Sauvage think so too, seemingly inspired by HR Giger.

Assemblage

Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2009.

Plastic foil, white cans and traces of red lipstick. I just coincidentally discoverd these incredible details, re-using trash as head pieces. Other 'hats' include car rims and bubble wrap.

2008

Yves Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2008

Stefano Pilati's severe vision of feminity. Translated via sheerness, volume and masculine references. Subtly, almost inwardly referring to the decade's dichotomy of gender definitions.

Exposure

Triangle bra cutouts revealing porcelain skin. Feminity dramatically exposed. Strengthened by dark lipstick and opulent jewellery. The Petrarchan ideal.

Magnifique

Tim Hamilton Spring/Summer 2010

I love it. I love the asymmetric juxtaposition of layers and materials. The colour scheme. The shoes. The black lipstick. The complexity. The devotion that is noticeable behind every single piece. I just love it.

Emergency

Prada Spring/Summer 2010

Nothing is more important right now than Prada, haha. Of course we will have to wait for Jil Sander for a final judgement. But I like the transparency, the raw edges and the glossy surfaces.

Denim Biker Dreams

Tina Turner - What You Get Is What You See

Denim, leather, red lipstick, exploded hair: You get it all. Brokeback Mountain is nothing compared to this. Puss.

Minimal

After a juicy pink-yellow layout for the summer, it was time for a change. It's time to feel the subtle, quiet and decent side of Lynn & Horst. But still glamorous as a lipstick and tasty like a sausage.

Fake Fur

My styling tip for German Russians: Wear bright coloured fake fur with 80s red lipstick all over your face. Just in case you can't afford collagen for fuller lips. Plus: Smoke a cigarette and eat a chocolate bar at the same time. The Absolutely Fabulous of Frankfurt.

This could become the key motive for a fictive L&H campaign. All we need now is a male equivalent wearing a sausage. Any candidates? Recommendations? Proposals?
