Transgender aunts in strapless bustier gowns, workwear denim and floppy heads. The sexual revolution of a farmer's confused son (Andrew). The circus is in town and every male prostitute is going. An oriental silk costume drama with eruptive ending (Michael). Working 9 to 5 at the redlight wallstreet. Where horny investment bankers wear pinstripe suits and dragon tattoos, mixing business with pleasure (Ed).

Now & Then VIII

1. Prada Spring/Summer 2013
2. Prada Spring/Summer 1999

Miuccia's Asian infusion. The submissive clichée of 1960s exoticism modernized and re-fetishized by means of asymmetry and the silk kimono side slit. Temporarily reducing power woman to house maid - as part of an intellectual role play.

Perpetuum Mobile, 2013

or 'Confessions Of A Conceptualist'

Vest Ann Demeulemeester
Tank Rick Owens
Trousers Ann Demeulemeester
Raincoat Jil Sander
Slippers Hernández-Cornet

A fur slipper is a fur slipper is a fur slipper. A post-Lang, post-Einstein perpetual motion. An exercise in discomfort while being comfortable. A scientific model based on friction that creates energy in itself.

Post Paris XIX

A false encyclopaedic guide to the menswear collections, presenting:
Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2013

1. Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion
2. Haider Ackermann by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin
3. Paolo Roversi for Interview Magazine June/July 2011

Apparently, Ann Demeulemeester was inspired by Hugh Hefner. Well presumably not. Still, there was a luxurious softcore feel reminiscent of the aesthetics of her bvba 32 companion Haider Ackermann and the poetic shine in the photographs of Paolo Roversi.

Battle Royale

Damir Doma Spring/Summer 2013

A collection that told a story in chapters. A tough travel in multi-function leather, the curious arrival in faded beach pastels and a happy luxurious ending in colourfully striped silk pyjamas. Yet I am still wondering why no one is taking off their clothes?

Religiously Transgender

Etro Spring/Summer 2013

Etro explores the essence of its original existence and idea. This time contemplating on the men's galabia and turban. Contemporary and successfully as I may conclude, contrary to first reviewer's opinion.
