Algetic Abstinence

Magazine Comme des Garçons Six

The curse of being born in the 80s: The fashion consciousness not established enough to witness and worship the creative heights of the 90s. May it be Helmut Lang or Comme des Garçons - I want my piece of this cake now!

Prince of Persia 1989 & 2010

Please excuse my latest 80s-boy-loves-adventure-fairytale-computer-game-movie-adaption tendendies. But did I already share my childhood addiction of playing Prince of Persia on my 486 PC? Now you know.

Poster Indiana Jones 1981 - 2008

Last night I spent a recognizable amount of hours on watching the Indiana Jones trilogy. And what can I say: It does make happy. Especially when you look at these genre-typical collage artworks.

Mermen & Mermaids

Top Neo Rauch, Das Gut, 2008
Bottom Unknown

When thinking of mermaids, movies like The Little Mermaid or Mermaids instantly come to one's mind. But suddenly I realized one true classic is missing: Splash with beautiful Daryl Hannah. Thanks to Neo Rauch for reminding me.

Fantaghirò

Princess Fantaghirò 1991

Besides the fact that Brigitte Nielsen is starring as black witch, this fairytale series is pure comfort to me. A melancholic childhood memory. I also think I am in love with Romualdo. A pathetic, unattainable love.

Evil Brain Fight

Maria Melinder Graduate Collection vs. Krang

Somehow, don't ask me why, this look reminded me of a brain. But not just a brain, the brain. The evil brain from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Life is beautiful.

Step By Step

A childhood trauma to be finally healed. The famously blinking L.A. Gear Light Ups are returning. My current sneakers are falling apart and there is no question which ones are gonne be next.

Dreams Are My Reality

Stella McCartney Campaign Fall/Winter 2009

Everything has been done right. After the inflatable dinosaurs display in London, an infantile bambi sticker campaign.

Cryptonite

Necklace pendant Unearthen

I believe in the comeback of crystal necklaces. Think of your youth, think of Absolutely Fabulous, think of the esoteric insanity in the 90s. We used to have these ring shaped stones on a leather string. But this black tourmaline is way more beautiful of course.

90s Acme

One of my birthday presents: the whole series of Beverly Hills 90210 on DVD, guaranteeing long long TV nights and iconic style inspiration.

Wishlist 9

Childhood memories need to be revived. Alf is my hero. And like little Horsti, he loves kitten. A DVD set is missing in my collection.

Fast Love

I loved Matchbox cars. Especially the flat and futuristic ones. Promising a fast track life. Ideally in metallic pink with neon green windows and wing doors.

Little H

I am a German, head to toe. Every guy should own a pair of lederhosen. And every girl.

Positive Trauma

Bjork & McElligott Fall/Winter 2008

Especially the women's pieces remind me of this lady who used to visit my mum in former 90s days. A trashy girl wearing lurex leotards, red lipstick, always holding a cigarette. She also used to sell vacuum cleaners and make-up products from egypt. Oh, and I remember, her daughter had this very nice siamese kitten T-shirt. White trash at its best.

Gimme #05

I already have a He-Man wall of fame but Skeletor is still missing. And i need the evil one! His whole army of mutants is waiting for him. Find him and get him for me!

Dungaree Dream Team

Am I obsessed with 90s bikini/underwear models? Yes! Especially when they wear dungarees. The styling is adorable and somehow both Heidi and Markus always guarantee a feast for the eyes.

Pink Lake

Photos Michael Oats

In reminiscence of the good old days when Lynn & Horst were pink. This seems to be made for us. I am talking about the pink frame of course. Nothing else.

Summer Of '08

I found these nice Lynn & Horst pictures of our summer in Sweden. Lying in the sun at a lonely beach, reading magazines and listening to Swedish trash pop. Sometimes looking back can be so nice.
