Portraits Of An Artist
Images Yves Saint Laurent, Francis Bacon, Norbert Bisky, Unknown, Unknown, Fila, Hunt Slonem, Keith Haring, Yves Klein
The staging of the artist and his subject in his workroom. A study of image. The image of the creative process as a cultural projection. A cliché. Dirty hands, dirty clothes, unfinished paintings, bare bodies - and a stylised posture. The cool and underwhelmed. A paradigm of advertising.

Whitewashed
Dries van Noten Spring/Summer 2011
Unfortunately too save. Too harmonious. Too tone in tone. Where did the risk-taking go, where the deeply admired Dries clash? Did he surrender himself to pastels? But maybe this has been his manoeuvre. Killing us softly.

Playground Love
All clothes MTWTFSS
Rude boys have a tender heart. Bomber jacket, bondage jeans, steel-toed leather boots - as hard the outer layers appear, as insistent the garments reflect a dispiteous character, they still can't cover the fact that their wearer cries at night.

Pathfinder
Topman Design Spring/Summer 2011
I fell in love with the Topman boy. We went camping together, roasted marshmallows over an open fire and washed our dirty clothes in a river nearby. Sometimes I wasn't quite sure if he was actually wearing shorts or a skirt.

New Blood
Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2004
It's a shame the Miu Miu menswear line doesn't exist anymore. Reason enough to wallow in memories and acquire a piece or two for one's very own fashion archive. I am more than willing to do so.

Not In Fashion
Photos MMK
Jürgen Teller photographing a photographer while arranging his works in the exhibition space. I highly anticipate tonight's opening of Not In Fashion. A reflection on the smybiosis of photography and fashion - including the oeuvre of houses such as Maison Martin Margiela, Comme des Garcons or Helmut Lang.

Extravaganza
Prada Spring/Summer 2011
The ugly beautiful amazingness of Miuccia Prada. Hourglass silhouettes. Minimalism charged with tackiness. Striped fox tail stoles. Op-art sombrero hats. Lonely island iconography. Too much to handle, so much to love.

Lanvin Fall/Winter 2010
The dangerous thing about fashion is that once you have satisfied one desire, the next one appears. There is no logic correlation, things just unconsciously manifest themselves in my mind. And now I want snakeskin boots.
