Hood By Air Fall/Winter 2014

Remove the three letters, ignore the branding and the sportswear stripes. Take the pieces that no one dares to buy. Remove your clothes. Let the thoughts behind those garments uncover you.

A Short History Of Rent Boys In Popular Culture (Interlude)

Boots as a man's men's essential. Or, respectively alternatively, thigh-high socks. The high shaft correlates to an emphasized or exposed crotch area. How I wish for a return of the 2000s.

Madonna's 'Sex Book' by Steven Meisel, banned Calvin Klein commercials and Paris Hilton's sex tape - who is the judge, who's the voyeur? How can 'offensive' image material be so pleasing?

Post London IV

A 'False Encyclopaedia' double feature with Bryan Rapp, discussing:
J.W. Anderson Spring/Summer 2014

When I was a kid, I used to play a lot of sports. I tended goals in both ice hockey and football. The former required wearing a jockstrap. For a short period of time, I tried my luck in the game of handball as well (but not as a goalie, mind you). It was one of my then-best friends, with the most common Swedish surname Andersson, who brought me to my first handball practice. I remember that our coach was a pregnant woman and that our team colours were red, blue and white. I quit the team after only a couple of weeks. Handball was not my cup of tea.

When -isms collide and the gender revolution neutralises itself, anti-masculinity becomes the mere image of womenswear worn by men. Or men wearing womenswear. Plus. Minus. Zero. Slowly, the J.W.A. concept becomes a papier mâché set, loosely glued together, juncture points still visible. A reflection of one's own deconstruction:
Ad novum mundum creandum, primum delendus est vetus. Scissors, pins, ready.

Stefan Zschernitz Masculine Mystery, dansk #28

The recent relaunch of dansk is an aesthetic success story. What has added the final convincing touch is an increase of the male content dosage. We all know what to wear now.
