Trojan Horse

Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2011

Set in an ancient-mystical scenery, eternal remembrance might not apply to this collection's pieces. The hype of the season left indifferent. Only noteworthy with its fur-lined lapels and colour-block trousers. Je suis desolée.

Sans Substitute

Fendi Fall/Winter 2007 & Spring/Summer 2007

There has been one year in the history of Fendi that demands closer inspection. 2007 offered impeccable cut and attention to material. As a result I am truly melancholic regarding the fact that the menswear line as such doesn't exist anymore. Maybe I have to comfort myself with a logo bag.

The Spell

Hernández-Cornet Spring/Summer 2011

The ancient myth of fox spirits. Transforming into the outer appearance of a beautiful young woman. Seducing the beholder. Their surroundings continuously shifting. Reflected through garments of displacement and a distorted reality. Nothing is what it seems.

Trending Topics Fight

Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2010 vs. Camel

I am in love with every single piece from that collection. And I realized: I need this double-breasted jacket. In the colour camel. I know it's hip and trendy but I have to surrender to it. It's hip and trendy in a good way.

Contemporary Classics

Céline Spring/Summer 2010

Yes, it is nice to wallow in future seasons and collections. But also very refreshing to just focus on the now. Therefore, I recommend women of today to enrich their wardrobe with a piece of Céline. Maybe the best choice this season.

Nude Panzer

AF Vandevorst Fall/Winter 2010, Spring/Summer 1999, Spring Summer 2010

If I were a girl... Always felt intrigued by the AF Vandevorst concept. Remotely controlled marionettes in strait jackets. Seemingly forced into rigid structures to be protected from themselves. The beautiful interpretation of a mental institution.

Identical

Above Patrik Ervell Fall/Winter 2009
Below Chloe Spring/Summer 2010

Both collections are amazing. Undeniable proof that a suit suits everyone. May it be boy or girl. Innocence that intrigues.

Square

Preen Spring/Summer 2010

Welcome to the fashion week terror. We all love horror movies, so do we adore the tension that surrounds the catwalk. Sticky air, a swelling tune, the first steps of skinny gazelles. The breathtaking anxiety when a girl starts to stumble or a garment falls apart. This is the thrill that keeps us alive. Enjoy the first scene of a new sequal with Preen.

Surgery

Missoni Spring/Summer 2010

In every father's wardrobe you might find a patchwork sweater. If you are lucky. It brings this little bit of coziness to every outfit. And somehow appears very German. In one word: cuddle-appeal.

Impregnation

Neil Barrett Spring/Summer 2010

I have a Miuccia Prada meets Raf Simons moment. Very reminiscent of their respective Fall/Winter 09 collections translated into Spring/Summer. The question is: Is this good or bad?

Pastels

Alessandro Dell'Acqua Spring/Summer 2009
Patrik Ervell Fall/Winter 2009
Margaret Howell Spring/Summer 2009

Light blue. The colour of innocent boys. And I really feel we all need more innocence. Clothes like childhood memories. Playing with action figures and dinosaurs and drinking vanilla milkshake. And please pay attention to the snakeskin pants in the first picture.
