Algetic Abstinence

Magazine Comme des Garçons Six

The curse of being born in the 80s: The fashion consciousness not established enough to witness and worship the creative heights of the 90s. May it be Helmut Lang or Comme des Garçons - I want my piece of this cake now!

The Gentlewoman Issue No. 2 vs. Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2010

To continue the thought of our previous post one may state: The future of fashion is defined by men showing cleavage and women wearing beards. I find it positively exhilarating.

Subtitle

Another magazine that should soon enrich my collection. Especially these two issues. It is fascinating how strinkingly well the cover artworks reflect their time and aesthetic mood. Throughout all past decades.

Via Catch Fire

Metropolis 2010

Photos Karl Lagerfeld

I more and more fall for the photographic genius of Karl Lagerfeld. Especially in regard of his continuation and adaption of utopian fantasies known from modern ancestors such as Fritz Lang and Thierry Mugler. Pursuing the concept of the robot woman.

Auf Wiedersehen

032c 19th Issue “William T. Vollmann", Summer 2010

When proudly flipping through the new shiny red issue of 032c, featuring typography apes on the cover, I stumbled upon a very familiar content: screen caps of Richard Gere in American Gigolo. A nice continuation.

The Von Trapp family went to an excursion to the rainbow.

The A Game

I'm not a Dazed boy, really. But look at this! Great, I have to admit. And read the subline.

Actually

Yes, they look good. Especially on the record sleeves. Posing with ugly dogs, wearing bow tie or a BOY cap. I have the whole collection and examnining the artwork and discovering new details again and again is like meditation. And somehow I even start to like the fact that after a while of listening to records, the dust blocks the needle so you have to get up and clean it before you can enjoy listening to 'Always On My Mind' again.

Do Not Feed

One of their best issues ever.

2 Become 1

I love folding vinyl sleeves. Sophie and Susie love 'em too! Everyone who shares this obsession has to have:

Prince and the Revolution - Parade
Tina Turner - Foreign Affair
Diana Ross - Why Do Fools Fall In Love
Brigitte Nielsen - Every Body Tells A Story

Bilitis

My new favourite toy. I found it on Horsti's attic. So anyone interested in re-enacting the scene? Just kidding you know, well probably not...
