Marrakesch Journal

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.

Wet Dreams

Ann-Sofie Back Atelje Spring/Summer 2011

Praise this woman. There is a masochistic sensuality to the pieces. Pierced throats. Wet look dresses. Trompe l'œil fantasies in 3D. If I had to name a head designer for my surreal womanswear line, it'll be her.

Non-Sterile

Artworks Keith Sonnier

The smell of medical latex gloves. Manipulated cloth and paper pieces. Dyed, dipped, painted fabrics. Neglectfully mounted onto walls. Evoking the sensuality and poetry of fortuitousness.

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.

Voyeurism 1956

Artworks Andy Warhol

Comparatively little attention has been paid to Andy Warhol's minute drawings. Pure portraits with a great sense for reduction. No need for pop colour schemes and endless repetition. Just the beauty of simplicity.

Utopia

Top Yves Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2010
Bottom Fletcher Cowan for Tank Magazine

Men in grey wool jumpsuits. Preferably combined with a fitted jacket. Men in thermals. Preferably all-in-one longjohns. The scenario of my oneiric financial district. The new version of a business man.

Perpendicular

It's all about white underwear.

Crease

Photos Felipe Lessa
Model Eduardo Tesch

It seems I may have discovered my adoration for crinkled objects. Evolving an image from the obvious to the mysterious. Every kink an additional layer of construction and composition.

Nude Shades Fight

Tillman Lauterbach Spring/Summer 2010 vs. Rose Drawing

Sensual and soft like petals of roses. Fragile and naïve like a miniature drawing. The elegant and bohemian illusion of exposed nudity.

Cardialgia

This love is like dancing on roses. Roses made of steel with poisoned thorns.

Anti-Reflective

Artworks Henrik Olai Kaarstein

Elusive images of vulnerability. The inside view revealing weakness and the pure essence of emotions. Norwegian melancholy.
/HORST

Thoroughly

Osman Yousefzada Fall/Winter 2009

Variations of nothing but purity. Each look cleary communicates its uniqueness and aesthetic intention. No need for hidden meaning or pretentious references.

All About The Chaplet

J.W. Anderson Spring/Summer 2009

"When you call my name its like a little prayer
Im down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know Ill take you there"
