Walter Van Beirendonck Autumn Winter 2012 2013
This is maybe one of the most captivating collections of Fashion Week season 2012/2013. The Belgian designer and agent provocateur Walter Van Beirendonck used exclusively faceless models to present his new collection. Usually when you watch a runway show your perception of the models is not really one of human beings. However, Walter took this...
Dries Van Noten Autumn Winter 2012 2013
Dries Van Noten manages to put a multi-media installation down on a pair of trousers or a coat. During the presentation of his latest collection I couldn’t help but think if the colors and prints are too much, and if they don’t start to remind me too much of the crazy patchwork clothes by Desigual....
transmediale 2k+12: in/compatible
Have you visited the transmediale website recently? It looks horrible! It’s so 1999. It’s just wrong. It’s simply incompatible.

Yohji Yamamoto Autumn Winter 2012 2013
There was something disturbing in Yohji Yamamoto’s collection for Autumn Winter 2012 2013. This something wasn’t necessarily a positive assumption – the idea that by fall 2012 we’ll all be dressing up like hobos and Russian war prisoners isn’t that calming. Nevertheless, the collection used, like in past runway shows, unconventional models, which made it...
Varieté Varieté!
How do I feel about varieté programs? I’m always suspicious. They can vary (haha) from very entertaining and sexy to pretty uncomfortable and dull. Thus, I’m going to give variety show one more chance this Saturday at Berlin’s .HBC where our friends from Expatriarch put together Varieté Varieté. The show will treat the audience to...
