The Montanas
Shoes Claude Montana
May I introduce to you the most amazing shoes ever made: A pair of low ankle boots by infamous Claude Montana. Black leather opposed to navy nylon. A piece of fashion history. Now mine.

Abandon
Yohji Yamamoto Fall/Winter 2009
Chunky knitwear, pyjama and underwear references, oversized coats and shorts, massive layering and an unexpected whiff of colour. The body gladly lost in over-dimensioned garments and comforting fabrics that build a perfect shield but always remain formal and elegant.

Art Department: Richard Kilroy
Drawing Richard Kilroy
As a Lynn & Horst exclusive, illustrator Richard Kilroy payed homage to lipstick and sausage: "I chose the Diana Dondoe / David Sims / Balenciaga 03 ad image because I felt it encompassed a lot of what Lynn & Horst is about. I wanted the illustration to have some kind of monolithic tone with a minimalist/reductivist quality, but with lots of intricate details that add to the overall effect."

Conquest
T-Shirt Second Hand
Jeans JULIAANDBEN
It is one thing to like Lady GaGa, but another to love Shania Twain. It is a true statement. Demanding high self-confidence, strength and indolence. Qualities that Horst incorporates by nature.
/HORST
P.S.: Please notice that Shania is wearing a cropped leopard print turtleneck.

Desperation
I have a thing for blondes. And my life depends on this: I am in urgent need of two tickets for the concert of The Sounds in Munich on the 4th of December. Reward is certainly given.

Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2007
Another Dolce & Gabbana moment, je regrette. But I think I have to act out my fascination for the embodiment of Italian tackiness. Keep a stiff upper lip until it's over.

Now & Then
Above Raf Simons 2010
Below Rocco Barroco 1996
Twin eroticism in transparent snake shirts. Undeniable similarities from 1996 to 2010. Looking back, looking forward.

Reprogram My Heart

Yes, I loved this collection. And I do love the similarities between the horizontal structured top and the combed-through hair as seen in the last picture.

Preferred Disorientation
Vanessa Bruno Spring/Summer 2010
Has someone noticed this? Lace knee-bands and a quite remarkable collection. The random paired with overdosed feminity and a tempting weirdness.

Sculptures
Cut-away views. Undulated shapes interfering with each other, creating space of nothingness in their centre. A black leather glove, inexistent yet present.

Reflective Dust
Prada Fall/Winter 2008
Another Prada collection that evolves its beauty and strength particularly in retrospective. It is still hard to grasp, the bikini transformed into a men's suit. Frill skirts opposed to stiff collar duplicates. Confusing and directional.
