Compression

Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2011

To contrast yesterday's confession, serious offerings for a tasteful man's wardrobe. All-white futurism replaces the erstwhile melancholic romanticism of Ann Demeulemeester. An inventive shift to modernity that pleases my eye.

Mind Candy

Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 2011

Welcome to the fetish club. Finally Milan plays its strength. Delivering delicate offerings for the next summer season. Armani more and more follows a change of direction. Much to our amusement.

Identical Iterations

Louise Goldin Fall/Winter 2010

The militaristic uniform principle consequently pursued. Thriving on variations of form and structure. Heart-stoppingly protective yet irritating, creating optical illusions and flat 3D shapes by the use of a forceful quilting technique.

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.

Femme Ikarus

Pedro Lourenco Spring/Summer 2009

Shield and armor inspired shin protectors in gold. Bird-like dresses. Severe uniform jackets. It's like an army of elves, ready to fly into the sun and to die an heroic death in beauty.

We love this exaltation.
We want the new temptations.
It's like a revelation.
We live on fascination.
