Gym Inspiration

Neneh Cherry - Kisses On The Wind 1989

Isn't her outfit just absolutely flawless. A black high waisted tube skirt and a bra top - nothing else. Buffalo Style merged with minimalsim. Graphic and straight-forward.

Pathfinder

Topman Design Spring/Summer 2011

I fell in love with the Topman boy. We went camping together, roasted marshmallows over an open fire and washed our dirty clothes in a river nearby. Sometimes I wasn't quite sure if he was actually wearing shorts or a skirt.

Innuendo

Glasses Giorgio Armani
Vest Whyred
Waistcoat Acne
Trousers Carin Wester

Somehow swayed by previous Yves Saint Laurent collections, I took inspiration across the seasons and matched voluminous trousers with a fitted vest that, once put together, evoked the look of a jumpsuit. At least I imagined so.

Another Variation

Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2011

Colour. And flowers. I agree it is a reference to the minimalist core of an early Jil Sander. Accordingly pure is the self-repetition of Raf Simons and his encounter with waist-conscious tailoring and a short shorts spirited mind.

Intertextualität

Prada Spring/Summer 2003 vs. Athletes

Yes, I am obsessed with former Prada collections. It's my most favourite archive for cross-reference and visual quotation. A timeless compendium of style and exhilarant perspectives.

It is common knowledge by now that Horst likes animal prints. To broaden one's horizon and extend the possibilities, the living object becomes a reasonable accessory. While chihuahuas and albino bunnies are a commendable choice, here is a more exotic option.

Climax

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2010

It has been the fulfillment of my dreams to attend a Raf Simons show. And the adrenaline and strong inner contentedness made this experience incommensurable. The raw genetics of an early Raf clashed with the highly-constructed now. Accompanied by hardcore techno beats. Suits and bomber jackets. Wrapped knitted dresses. I lost my virginity.

Adolescence

Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2005

I love the old Raf Simons collections so much, but I don't own a single piece. Isn't it dramatic. It may be explained by the fact that my fashion consciousness just began to materialize with the very beginning of this blog. Shame on me.

I'd like to wear the first look today. The problem: I don't have the clothes.

Hole Again

"Looking back on where we first met
I cannot escape
And I cannot forget
Baby you're the one
You still turn me on
You can make me hole again"
