Drawn Faces Fight

1. Jan Lehner No Colours Anymore, I Want Them To Turn Black, 2014
2. Pablo Picasso Untitled, 1945

Looking back to the beginnings and discovering the category The Fight. Visual analogies that built the foundation of this aesthetic commentary. And let's face it, everything else is travesty. Yet, one could always wear Alex Bottenberg.

An unresolved trauma and my unfulfilled desire: to wear trompe l'œil metaphors. Moiré as sociologic experiment, food as paint. Letters on canvas, textile as art, clothes as buildings.

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.

Concrete Living II

1. Acne Paris & Raf Simons Osaka
2. Acne New York & Jil Sander New York
3. Acne Paris & Raf Simons Tokyo

Venus de Milo as symbol for the modern woman, as icon of orientation, ideals, beauty (q.v. Acne Paris). A strict and steel version of Daedalus' gigantic labyrinth to hold the Minotaur reconstructed by Raf Simons & Gernaine Kruip (q.v. Jil Sander New York). Sterling Ruby's splatter theme and Roger Hiorns's 'crying tears' triangle wallpaper - echoing this disorientation (q.v. Raf Simons Toyko and Osaka).
