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.

Studies of Constriction

Artworks Christo

I can't resist my current fixation to everything art-related. And in this case, the actual result feels very fashionable. Buildings wearing white canvas and ropes. Bondage and architecture.

Artworks Sadao Hasegawa

Mythology and male anatomy. His works inherit a Japanese momentum, this very notion of directness hidden behind surreal expression. The explicit, masochistic and sexual seemingly tolerated when stylised. And almost like a gay artist's tradition, Sadao Hasegawa committed suicide following the example of Mishima Yukio and leaving behind works of undaunted kitsch.

2000

Boudicca Fall/Winter 2000

I somehow like the idea of decade reviews. I honestly do think the noughties have the potential to stand out against the nineties. Although I am aware that this thesis is facing strongest disagreement. But let me prove to you. Starting with the look of 2000: Boudicca.

Part 9: Cher




She shares birthday with little Horsti, so she must be loved eternally. If anyone wants to make me really happy, book her for my birthday party. By the way: Her real name is Cherilyn Sarkisian. Isn't this absolutely beautiful?

Perfection

Photos Robert Mapplethorpe

The beauty of this artist begins with his name. Just pronounce his name slowly and enjoy the intense interplay of tongue and lips. Then look at these images, sculptured portraits of geometric yet human perfection.

Inspired by Mahret, I felt the urgent need to dive into the Marios Schwab universe to find the most beautiful pearls. Bondage, geometry, draping, metal, fluorescent shine. Super constructed feminity.

Appendix

Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2010

Always been a connoisseur of the Raf aesthetics although I have to admit of not finding access to his latest creations. The details and snake symbolism seem reasoned but leave me with venomous indifference.

Melancholia

Claudia, Naomi and Christy in bondage gear for Versace in 1992. This is perfection. The full dose of exuberant fashion tackiness. An iconic perfection that seems to be inexistent today.

Hardcore Vibes

Jaiden rVa James Fall/Winter 2008

Jaiden James really pushes boundaries. Floral skirts and bondage gear, masks and chains. The phantasies get wild, abstruse and frenetic. Flirtatious games to the extreme.

Spice Girls - Say You'll Be There

From Givenchy to Wrestling Divas to Spice Girls. Everything comes together at the end. And the half-naked guy in bonds on the car, well, I guess I don't have to say more. Wait, one thing: Nice leather gear, Victoria!
