Tokyo Diaries XII

A mental travel preparation.




Phenomenon Fall/Winter 2010

An empty suitcase without underwear to fill with 'other' things. In boiled wool, washed silk and polyester. Dress coats and pleated skorts. A Tokyoite wardrobe for the Post-Raphaelite.

Steampunk

Willy Vanderperre Faux Semblant, 2010

Organic, mechanic, bionic. Not much has progressed in menswear since future forecasts by H.R. Giger or Tstuomu Nihei. Their depictions unkindly agree that the future will be ugly.

Now & Then XI

1. Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2013
2. Maison Martin Margiela Fall/Winter 2000

Fill in the circle. Don't cross the outline, don't look back. Carefully apply a shimmering layer. Place the circles, loosely stitch them onto the base. For quick results, apply glue. Stick to this routine.

Legs, Crossed

1. Horst P. Horst Barefoot Beauty (variant), 1941
2. Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2010

A collection that was unjustly underrated. And deserves closer inspection, once again. When regret is overcoming us, we will realize that it is always of advantage to look up and listen to Horst.
