A Short History Of The Plastic Raincoat In Popular Culture III

1. Maison Martin Margiela by Mark Borthwick
2. Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2002
3. Unknown
4. Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2007
5. Tush Magazine by Diego Fuga

All good things must come to an end. But we'll cry no single tear, we'll walk in the rain. Well prepared, armoured in Margiela, Raf Simons or Jil Sander. As I said: All good things must come to an end.

Love-Hate Relationship

1. Robert Maxwell, Rolling Stone 1997
2. Patrick Demarchelier & Marc Jacobs campaign by Jürgen Teller
3. Patrick Demarchelier & Yves Sain Laurent Fall/Winter 2008

In my narrow-minded world, corduroy is directly followed by velvet. Questionable materials that I've never completely understood. They leave me with a feeling of disgust and insecurity. That's why I need a respective garment in my wardrobe. Immediately and badly.

Somehow Ethereal

Collage Dries van Noten Spring/Summer 2011

The reason why I feel attracted to acid denim might probably be its sinister resemblance to a profane thing such as clouds. Carrying a moment of childish astonishment. And at the same time referring to a political ethos.

The Omen II

Christova & Endourova Fall/Winter 2006

Yes, they are already amidst us. They conquered fashion and can now be booked as supermodels. With umpf and attitude. I always thought this was a teenage fantasy - but it truly is reality.

The Omen I

Tim Soar Fall/Winter 2010

Tempted by the subtle touch of blue. Dark on velvet, electric on hair. Somehow artificial, fake and wrong. But yeah, sometimes I do feel the desire to become a creature of alien-esque appeal.

Love Marriage

Stella McCartney Spring/Summer 2011 & Petar Petrov Spring/Summer 2011

Two households, both alike in dignity.
In fair Paris, where we lay our scene.
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny.
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes.
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life.

Replica V

Horst Meier vs. Francis Bacon



Top Maison Martin Margiela

Sitting portrait, tired posture, purity, untouched moment, rawness. Weakness and meat. I love Bacon.

For George

Top Yves Klein, California, 1961
Bottom Unknown

Thank you for last night's talk and your valuable contribution. It became manifest that you have something to say. And I personally wish, I could hear more of it. Last night I thought about the colour blue and Yves Klein. Maybe we can find its meaning in the context of our discussion.

The intellectual and the lascivious. Two images, two layers of meaning. Based upon one similar principle, respectively garment. I wonder how one would call these trapezium-shaped, belted tops?

Wooyoungmi Spring/Summer 2011

First and foremost: the glasses are divine. A remarkable collection aiming for the modern humanist and poet. The adequate wardrobe for a man who is dedicated to scientific research and the critical discourse.

Hero Worship

Part 12: Kelis





Only hardly can I elude her majesty. The last living real Buschfrau on earth. She arose from oblivion to claim back her kingdom. Armoured with a crispy voice and a blue-haired poodle. We are willing to give her everything she demands.

Bulletproof

Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2010

This collection doubtlessly has to be mentioned. It is outstanding. And above all non-referential. I'd almost like to compare it with an atomic core. Constituting its strength from nothing but itself.
