Parachute Test

Albino Deuxieme Spring/Summer 2011

Two looks that left me with instant desire. Not at least due to the fact that I always felt attracted to men wearing sandals with socks. Nothing is more traditionally German, more Horst.

I see two identical images. Two realities. Totally separate and still strangely alike. But most importantly, I desire both. The stockings and the artwork.

Hallucination

Prada Spring/Summer 2007

Socks and sandals. Shorts and coats. I just found these amazing vintage clothes in my father's wardrobe that fit me perfectly well. Prada, Miu Miu, Dries van Noten. But it was just a dream.

Ultimativum

This picture incorporates everything attractive, desirable and seductive. An imaginary superego. Slicked-back hair, a plain-surfaced suit, white socks. And a matching Persian cat.

Snow

Gaspard Yurkievich Spring/Summer 2009

I hate the never-ending snow. At the same time I feel the strong longing for whiteness. But in the context of summer and boys in shorts and tanks. Golden headbands are allowed.

Lust

Socks Victor & Rolf

Men should dress in sequins. As dresses don't seem to be a serious option, why not living one's obsession with sparkle and glamour by dint of a pair of socks. Allowed feminity in healthy doses.

Tribute

The unintentional outcome when you travel with limited clothes and the only pair left is white tennis socks. Who's gonna join me for a romantic moonwalk now?

Kitten Love XX

Photos Yu Tsai, Dean Sameshima

Yesterday my kitten shoes lost their virginity for a stroll over the flea market. A Neneh Cherry record is the trophy. And I nearly bought two plates with kitten portraits. But you need to know when kitten love becomes too addictive and when it's time to stop, right?

Detail Devotion

Gaspard Yurkievich Fall/Winter 2009

The best use of leopard print can be admired at Gaspard Yurkievich. The perfect balance. The perfect way for men to dress in kitten love. All you need is a pair of socks.

Cross-Dressing

J.W. Anderson Fall/Winter 2009

I actually think this works. It's unseen and unsought. Roll neck meets body suit perfectly enhanced by knee-highs. Men should think about it, may it be as leisure wear.

Platform Shoes

I know they are ugly but I think some people should start wearing them again. So we can gossip and argue if it's hot or not. Well, maybe not combined with ripped shorts and tennis socks. Or maybe yes? What about bootcoot jeans with corduroy patches, haha!

A Letter To NKOTB

Please old daddies dress like you did when you were new kiddies. It's so easy. Just listen to Horst and follow these rules.


1. Dungarees and nothing else


2. Studded leather jacket


3. Ripped jeans, loafers and white tennis socks


4. Silly allover prints


5. American iconography


6. Or just topless

Horst waiting for the train to Barkarby. The place where he will try his first Flurry Bilar. The place where he will beat down the price of his brandnew Whyred jacket.

Crash & Burn

Magazine Crash

I found this years old spread somewhere in my numerous folders and I thought it's time to revive them. Cause boys in sport shorts that's truly timeless.

Head To Toe

Marsu Homme Spring/Summer 2008

For men this summer is all about rolled up trousers, tartan shirts and fine leather shoes with or without knee-high socks. Swedish guys already show how it looks best. Now the German men are asked to do it even better!

Brownie

Thom Browne Spring/Summer 2008

I love him for his worship of suits with shorts, of cropped trousers and knee-high socks, of smart male sexiness.

Could someone please dress like that and go out with me?
