Is there life after love? Global warming? The apocalypse? Do you know how to fish? How to make fire? How to survive? Will you die or live fashionably ever after? Reclining in a tiger lurex singlet is a good start. After all.

or 'Why Raf Simons' proposal for Calvin Klein was geniuous'

ref 6. After-life/Self-destruction Sandwich:
Calvin Klein Fall/Winter 2018 vs. Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2014

There was his own history, the essence of Raf Sandor to Raf Sandior. It was everything digested and progressed into novelty, popcorn and world rescue - not repetition (with some exceptions).

Appendix

1. Ludovic de Saint Sernin Fall/Winter 2018
2. Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal Spring/Summer 2006

The bottle cap vest. An ever returning, eternal motif of re-appropriation and pop art re-appropriating itself. Minus the art. The bottle caps replaced. Just fashion. Reminding me of big little lies.

Appendix

1. LAZOSCHMIDL Fall/Winter 2018

Appendix

1. Craig Green Fall/Winter 2018
2. Imi Knoebel Der Deutsche, 2009

LAZOSCHMIDL Spring/Summer 2018

A villa with infinity pool, concrete floors and Memphis Milano furniture. An orange, amorphous googie sculpture in front of the house. The sky coloured like a Ken Price painting. Polyester shirts, snakeskin boots. Psychedelic drugs and prints. A collection of sex toys and pop art. Finding a Tinder match in the 1970s. Having sex on a flokati rug. Violence and death. Taking a champagne and blood bath listening to D.I.S.C.O. And finally falling in love with the image of yourself in the mirror above.

The LAZOSCHMIDL Spring/Summer 2018 lurex knit collection is available for personal pre-order now.

If Venus Had A Child

1. Michelangelo Pistoletto Venus Of The Rags, 1967
2. Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 2000
3. Vetements Saks Fifth Avenue Display, 2017

From art to fashion to garbage. A sculptural intervention at first, an appropriation after, and irony at least. It might be a post-consumerist, contemporary punk statement. It might also just be blasphemy.

Back To Start

1. Mario Sorrenti Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2018
2. David Sims Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2003

10. Helmut Lang Surrogate Skin, 2008
11. Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 1996

Ruffled and shuffled. Sheerness on repeat. When records are broken and needles just scratch surfaces. Has every song been written, or is it about finding the last sad and perfect love song?

Martin Did It First? XVII

2017-10-06T18:00:00.001+02:00

1. Aalto Spring/Summer 2018

2. Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2018

5. Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2018

7. Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2018
8. Filles A Papa Spring/Summer 2018
9. Maison Martin Margiela Spring/Summer 2010

Q3: Who are you?
A3: I am 100% myself, just a better version of it.

When everything has been done, repeatedly done, all that is left is one's very own emotional connection that defies logic, or consequences. So in that sense, please enjoy my exquisite corpse best of.

Marc & Us

1. Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2018
2. LAZOSCHMIDL Spring/Summer 2018

A feeling of connectedness. Of a bigger, liquid, virtual and social unconciousness. A moment in time. Of strawberry and lime. And champagne. A ménage à deux. You are warmly invited.

He & Him

2017-09-11T18:20:00.001+02:00

1. Sies Marjan Spring/Summer 2018
2. Nihl Parsons Graduate Collection

There is still hope. Pastel loungewear and crochet leotards. Silk pyjamas and embroidered boxer shorts. Tie-dye and deconstruction. Luxe and loss. We should all live in a world in-between.

Him & Me

2017-09-09T16:12:00.000+02:00

1. CALVIN KLEIN Spring/Summer 2018
2. LAZOSCHMIDL Spring/Summer 2018

One week apart. Cowboys and disco. Horror and tears. Be closed to loved ones, and closer to your enemy - while sleeping with your enemy. A dream soaked with hormones and anxieties coming true.

P.S.: Please note the similarities in posture.
