Confrontation Therapy

Underwear Nikos

As indicated before I have to overcome my aversion to velvet. When I found this black velvet Nikos tanga with mesh cutout detail, me and my therapist were convinced the experiment had succeeded.

White Lace Fight

Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Lace underwear

Take a Dolce & Gabbana collection, divide and transform its elements into men's underwear. Lace. Leopard. Crystals. Cutouts. Conservatism and liberality. It's wrong, it's beautiful.

Suggestion #10

John Galliano newspaper print briefs

And finally, something someone can actually afford. A nice pair of the iconic Galliano briefs. If that's too sexy for your cupboard, you could also go for a pair of black leather gloves. Happy Christmas shopping!

One reason to love twitter: Now we know Mariano Vivanco will publish a new Dolce & Gabbana book soon. And he is kind enough to provide us with a little teaser.

I think I am allowed to post half-naked guys again, am I? I mean I haven't posted fresh meat in ages, non? Personally, I cannot remember anything like that. This is an intellectual art blog. Sure, sure.

Ambitions

After discovering my love for and indulging myself in wearing tanga briefs, the next mission is to find the perfect body suit. Preferably minimalist, pure cotton, no funny details. Anyone?

Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 1988

Seriously, how can someone not love Armani advertisments. And men in bodysuits.

Ball Games II

To fight my German beer belly I will start going to the gym. To work out and watch other people working out. Only one question remains: What to wear?

Every woman needs one. And every man. Not only for swimming. But also for other delicate purposes. You may expand on this idea.

Omission

Top International Male 1991
Bottom Jason Fedele

1991. 19 years have passed. Now Horst is old. Technology hasn't been developed enough to preserve his 19 years old body. Now he cannot impress his readers with an appearance in yellow briefs and mesh vest. Truly sad.

Utopia

Top Yves Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2010

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.

Echoes

She won my heart. Again. Kitten love. Boys in underwear. Military jumpsuit.

En Dehors

There reigns a certain fascination for elitarism and unifrom dress codes in sports. Following my admiration for fencing, I'd like to pay homage to ballet. French intellectualism. Men in tights. The infamous dance belt.

Le 24 Dimanche

4 days. Countless shows. With a little bit of melancholy I am looking back on endless love for Romain Kremer. Sheer longjohns and bed feathers at Zimmerli. A spectacular location at Wooyoungmi. Formal geometry at Songzio. Pear necklaces at Qasimi. And hippie movements at Paul Smith. Au revoir Paris.

Deep down inside we all want men to look like this, right? By the way, my newspaper briefs obsession hasn't been fulfilled so far. I will continue to infiltrate you until I finally get a pair.
