Simon Rasmussen Spring/Summer 2011

Fantastic Simon Rasmussen presented his first collection. An eclectic recycling of random materials and graphic references, also quoting Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's teddy bear coat worn by supermodel Helena Christensen in the heart-breakingly amusing film Prêt-à-Porter. An exquisit example for Recession Couture.

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.

Henrik Vibskov vs. Bernhard Willhelm

It's really intriguing how similar the designs are when compared side by side. But maybe that's why I love them both so much. It's their unstoppable will to take a risk and to melt beauty with bad taste. Tell me who's the winner...

Give me a P!

Once Style of the Day, Peter Jensen deserves a full story. The weirdness and creativity of his designs for men and women truly convinces me.





Peter Jensen Spring/Summer 2008

Never too serious, always experimenting and questioning the definition of wearability. Let's all wear Peter Jensen!

S2VS Fall/Winter 2008

Sean William Salim is back on track with a very referential and working class inspired collection. Rough vs. clean. Past vs. future.
