Kitten Love XXXII

Top Givenchy Haute Couture by Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 1997
Bottom Gustav Klimt

They asked me how I knew my true love was true. I of course replied, something here inside cannot be denied. When your heart's on fire, you must realize: Smoke gets in your eyes.

Artworks Yves Saint Laurent

A rather unknown and intense side. A different école des beaux arts. Yves Saint Laurent did not only draw draped dresses, le smoking or slender mannequins. His oeuvre includes the oriental wallah.

Giving myself a break.

Season's Greetings

Only 24 days left. The world is covered in whiteness. And minus degrees make me wear an all-in-one at night. Time for a flashback and the Abercrombie & Fitch Christmas catalogue from 1999.

Love Marriage

Stella McCartney Spring/Summer 2011 & Petar Petrov Spring/Summer 2011

Two households, both alike in dignity.
In fair Paris, where we lay our scene.
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny.
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes.
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life.

Portraits Of An Artist

Images Yves Saint Laurent, Francis Bacon, Norbert Bisky, Unknown, Unknown, Fila, Hunt Slonem, Keith Haring, Yves Klein

The staging of the artist and his subject in his workroom. A study of image. The image of the creative process as a cultural projection. A cliché. Dirty hands, dirty clothes, unfinished paintings, bare bodies - and a stylised posture. The cool and underwhelmed. A paradigm of advertising.

Pamela Anderson, zweitausendeins book store, Frankfurt

A perfect example for Barbie Fashion, even though there is not much fashion left. But fake boobs can be counted as accessory, right? And I do appreciate the effort that went into this look.

Second Skin

Boris Bidjan Saberi Spring/Summer 2011

Thin layers of leather. Nude and transparent. Hand-moldered, waxed and washed-out. Emphasizing the principles of existence. Garments that reflect traces of human action. Clothes that imply the wearer's devoted past.

Kitten Love XXIX

Top Joseph-Benoît Suvée, Milo Of Croton, 1763
Bottom Nicolai Abildgaard, The Wounded Philoctetes, 1775

The subtle appearance of leopard lends a rural charme and notion of bestial fight to its wearer. An effective demonstration of masculinity and survival. The conclusion: wearing leopard is a sign of strength and power.

Part 12: Katie Price





I sincerely apologize for this post. But recently I fell in love with Katie Price. Touched by her duet with Peter Andre. And positively shocked seeing her performing in a shiny pink catsuit. This is what I want when wishing for a Barbie Fashion revival.

Brief Notice

Artworks Kurt Kauper

Underneath the superficial surface I currently share one detail with Cary Grant. Pale and untouched skin. Below the waistline. The result of patience and constancy. I am at the beach now.

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.
