Wooden Veneer Fight

Rodarte Spring/Summer 2011 vs. Bavarian balcony

Absolutely loved this collection. Carvings on planks as dresses. One cannot deny a certain resemblance to the traditional Bavarian balcony. Or the typical yet brutal wall systems Germans are so fond of. But yes, bad childhood memories can be transformed into renewed contexts of beauty.

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.

Prince of Persia 1989 & 2010

Please excuse my latest 80s-boy-loves-adventure-fairytale-computer-game-movie-adaption tendendies. But did I already share my childhood addiction of playing Prince of Persia on my 486 PC? Now you know.

Archetype

Poster Indiana Jones 1981 - 2008

Last night I spent a recognizable amount of hours on watching the Indiana Jones trilogy. And what can I say: It does make happy. Especially when you look at these genre-typical collage artworks.

Bits & Pieces

Prada Fall/Winter 2004

This weekend I enjoyed the utmost satisfying feeling to throw away stuff. Unneeded things from the cellar. Forgotten childhood memories. And I stumbled upon my teenage replica version of a Prada robot. Made of random hardware pieces. Touching.

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.

Big Bang Theory

Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 1991

You might have recognized that I recently developed a new addiction: Barbie & Ken Fashion. And now I actually found out who truly invented it: Helmut Lang. Unexpectedly, he beautified short skirts, plastic frills and sheer pastel dresses when I was still an innocent boy playing with Barbie and Ken.

Dune

Dune 1984

This movie is incredible. Partly disgusting and scary when confronted with evil Harkonnen's human experiments, but mostly stunning due to the monumental setting and imagery. I am also impressed by Kyle MacLachlan's perfect quiff.

P.S.: And how I loved the computer game. I wish my 386 PC back.
