Fashion Charts XI

1. Rick Owens Spring/Summer 2015

2. Dries van Noten Spring/Summer 2015

3. Yohji Yamamoto Spring/Summer 2015

Longing for strap-ons. Who would've ever thought that those three will be partners in harness crime. Alien netwear (Rick) vs. ballet fencing (Dries) vs. amputee tailoring (Yohji). Another top three.

Fashion Charts

1. Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2014

2. Junya Watanabe Fall/Winter 2014

3. Dries van Noten Fall/Winter 2014

Longing for patchwork, from punk to Pitchfork. A common ground within the expected (Junya), unexpected (Dries) and anticipated (Raf). A secret pact between the artistic, commercial and hyped. My top three.

Jacket Raf Simons
Shirt Miu Miu
Denim Shirt Dries van Noten
Trousers Cheap Monday

Indeed, I have a punk-heartfelt past. But mainly, it was revolting against oneself more than others. The anti-me-society. And within the (ripped) pages of magazines - pinned to the ripped wallpaper walls of a teeenager room - I found myself.

1. Maison Martin Margiela Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild
2. Rick Owens POPB Bercy
3. Kenzo Maison du Judo
4. Wooyoungmi Palais de Toyko
5. Dries van Noten 165 Rue de Vaugirard

A selection of the most appealing Parisian show venues for the Spring/Summer 2013 menswear presentations. From sport arenas to neo-classical monuments, light beam tunnels, raw concrete and industrial pillars. A dichotomy of the abandonned and restored.
