Couples V

1. Carven Fall/Winter 2014
2. Lanvin Fall/Winter 2014

Lanvin was very Fantastic Planet and Carven all about surrealist collage. What unites them both is the recurring image of 'hands', the fetish subject/object of Man Ray's work. Hands are back and trending.

Post Paris XVIII

A false encyclopaedic guide to the menswear collections, presenting:
Walter van Beirendonck Spring/Summer 2013

1. Pierre et Gilles St. Sebastian, 1987
2. Pablo Picasso Pierrot with a Mask, 1918
3. Isa Genzken Urlaub, 2004

This collection had everything unsightly you can imagine: gay kitsch, harlequin collars and loads of foam. All put together à la Genzken. There were bits of bondage, too. And mythologic references for which reason we do forgive.

P.S.: The woman sitting front row to the left was clearly trying to make the models trip.
