Wendy & Jim Spring/Summer 2001 - Fall/Winter 2007

What do I like about Wendy & Jim? The notion that its wearer has just escaped a mental hospital. Or is still drunk from the night before. It translates confusion. Can somebody now please help me with that strait jacket?!

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.

Sans Substitute

Fendi Fall/Winter 2007 & Spring/Summer 2007

There has been one year in the history of Fendi that demands closer inspection. 2007 offered impeccable cut and attention to material. As a result I am truly melancholic regarding the fact that the menswear line as such doesn't exist anymore. Maybe I have to comfort myself with a logo bag.

Revival

Céline Fall/Winter 2010, Fall/Winter 1978, Fall/Winter 1975 & Spring/Summer 1970

Career, yes, but not at any price. Céline successively defined a new kind of woman, the Gentlewoman. A process of such genuinity that no one has really noticed 40 years passing. What date do we have?

Best Of Miu Miu

Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2000 - Fall/Winter 2010

Women: paisley, frills, flower embroidery, pleating, plateau heels.
Men: studs, stars, ties, brooches, sandals & socks. School girls and nerds.
Apples and pears. Naughty virginity versus daring naïvety.
