Razor Thorn

Jacket JULIAANDBEN

A rare feeling. Putting on a garment for the very first time - and knowing it's perfection. Love at first sight. Let's never break up. Let's walk through the sun and through the rain.

The Victim

JW Anderson Fall/Winter 2010

While his spring collection convinced due to its play with trousers, skirts and their proportions, this season is all about hiking appeal. Outdoor jackets, backpacks, heavy knitwear. The man confronted with raw nature. Sexualized with worship-worthy boots and masochistic leather necklaces.

Interpretations

Symbols of life and death, freedom and decay. Stereotype objects that surrender to their cliché. Isolated to enhance their metaphorical force.

Appetite For Destruction

Number (N)ine Spring/Summer 2006

The endless multiplication of Axl Rose captured in one collection. It's the look I am going to channel for spring. Wearing a suede biker jacket without a shirt underneath, cycling shorts and a bandana with roses print. Assuming I will find one.

Moral Discernment

Artworks Sam McKinniss

"I want to fall in love with pictures over and over again and expect to receive nothing but heartbreak in return."

Fantaghirò

Princess Fantaghirò 1991

Besides the fact that Brigitte Nielsen is starring as black witch, this fairytale series is pure comfort to me. A melancholic childhood memory. I also think I am in love with Romualdo. A pathetic, unattainable love.

Nude Shades Fight

Tillman Lauterbach Spring/Summer 2010 vs. Rose Drawing

Sensual and soft like petals of roses. Fragile and naïve like a miniature drawing. The elegant and bohemian illusion of exposed nudity.

Cardialgia

This love is like dancing on roses. Roses made of steel with poisoned thorns.

Subsequent Roses Fight

Ida Sjöstedt Spring/Summer 2010 vs. Jochen Klein

Dear Ida,
when we were watching your runway video again, I came across a similarity of a dress and an image I had saved in my head. A rose is still a rose.

Swedish Gem

Ida Sjöstedt Fall/Winter 2008

Super cute kitten Ida brings kitsch and happiness without hesitation. Committing herself to a look that is unique in a market that is dominated by Scandinavian restraint. Rich, excessive and risky.
