Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2014

"Love the black skirts and long double-breasted coats. Clothes suitable for formal funereal fetes or cold-night dark back alley trysts."

/BRUCE LABRUCE, film-maker

"The stiff, square shoulders are the default here so the militant exits of five or so tailored jackets serve as perfect backdrop for the sporadic appearance of rounded shoulders on cozy cardigans, turtlenecks, and sweaters. 2014 is about hugging yourself. Even the menacing leather coat is lined with plush shearling. Little goth boy has a sweet side, just check his pink plaid."
/IRIS & DANIEL, fashion editors We Have No Style

"I found McQueen to be refreshingly dark."

/MATTHEW ATTARD NAVARRO, founder Platinum Love Magazine

"Stop, isn't that Oliver Bernard? What the fuck. He's the type that would get into drunken fistfights over le mot juste, but at least he'd recite Apollinaire to you in bed after."
/RUDY KATOCH, writer via twitter

"Bleak House. Less posh & polite than McQueen has been for a while. It reminds me of their pre-2000, pre-Gucci menswear; a bit messier, and a bit rawer. McComme?"

/JOHN-MICHAEL O'SULLIVAN, writer 1972projects

"Something has happened and something is happening. Bacon, Freud, McQueen? Intellectual, tailored goth transformations with a subliminal message: teenage angst is back in stock and it comes with a hand-written price tag."

Anti-Me Society II

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2013

The last hurrah by Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton was a self-revolting revolution. Showgirl punk with graffiti lettering, ruffles, sequins and feathered bras. Not giving a fuck was never that delicately well done.

Twombly Dialogues III

1. Cy Twombly Untitled, 1983
2. Ann Demeulemeester Fall/Winter 2013

Ann Demeulemeester fell in love with her partner espying one little detail: a feather attached to his clothes. The feather soon became an essential design element that can be regarded as a cipher for her personal touch within a collection.
