Plastic Surgery

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2011

The male body as an object of proportion. Divided. Extremeties opposed in relation. The arm, the musculus biceps brachii as the centre of asymmetric divergence. Fabrics and mind are taken away, then replaced again.

Subtle Touch

Josef Lazo Graduate collection

High-buttoned and highly seductive. A collection that succeeds in uniting rivalling contradictions. Sheer trousers that provoke a breeze of sensuality. Strict suits and leather waistcoats that quote elemtents of menswear. The white shirt serving as pure base and projection screen for multiple layers of meaning. In this case, silence best communicates the speakers message and intention.

Eclecticism

Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2010

From purism to sportswear to silk luxury. From grey and beige to neon and gold. It's an undefinable eclectic whole that creates cohesion and unity. Extending the variation of patterns and textures to the variation of moods and life contexts.

Anaphylactic Reaction

Romain Kremer Fall/Winter 2010

Romain Kremer's vision evolves. Heading towards a strictly graphic translation of his conceptual approach to menswear. Purism and form gain impeccable strength, the outcome structured and severe. Needless to say that I am in love.

The image of Jil Sander has always been linked with the minimalist aspect. Purism and simplicity. Once regarding a whole decade, the aesthetics do not appear so radically restraint. Clothes that are subtly complicated from the inside. And intellectual from the outside. Personally, I think that it was Raf Simons who revived the brand's true essence and character of what everyone primarily perceived to symbolize Jil Sander.
