Striation, Epilogue

Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane Fall/Winter 2007

For encyclopaedic reasons and in addition to my previous photo booth: the block stripe sweater in context of its runway presentation, January 2007. When we replace the label, we will all get our second chance.

Grey

Graphic top Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2008
Sleeveless jacket Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2009
