Confrontation Therapy

Underwear Nikos

As indicated before I have to overcome my aversion to velvet. When I found this black velvet Nikos tanga with mesh cutout detail, me and my therapist were convinced the experiment had succeeded.

Love-Hate Relationship

1. Robert Maxwell, Rolling Stone 1997
2. Patrick Demarchelier & Marc Jacobs campaign by Jürgen Teller
3. Patrick Demarchelier & Yves Sain Laurent Fall/Winter 2008

In my narrow-minded world, corduroy is directly followed by velvet. Questionable materials that I've never completely understood. They leave me with a feeling of disgust and insecurity. That's why I need a respective garment in my wardrobe. Immediately and badly.

The Omen I

Tim Soar Fall/Winter 2010

Tempted by the subtle touch of blue. Dark on velvet, electric on hair. Somehow artificial, fake and wrong. But yeah, sometimes I do feel the desire to become a creature of alien-esque appeal.

Profanity

Alexander Wang Fall/Winter 2010

Just 5 minutes later. Life stream screen shots and my BBM commentary: Velvet. Bra cutouts. Black. Backpacks. Quite Prada-ish. Sunglasses worn over hair on sides. Styling is excellent. Seriously. Silver pearls in narrow geometric lines. Really good I have to admit.

Cognitive Dissonance

Laitinen Fall/Winter 2010

Fringed skirts. Printed velvet. There is something very delicate about the appearance, the feel and the sound of these superficially descriptive words. Semantic pairings that I want to wear.
