Roses being shot in the head. Striking and oddly wrong feeling. Even though we always pick roses, make retarded little crowns and smash them into books. Something about shooting them with a gun gives them little souls. I guess we are only use to humans and animals with this outcome.

Raf Simons Menswear S/S 2015 Dark and Crazy
The Raf Simons brand is forever dark and cool, this collection is just that. It featured what I think and interpreted as an institutionalized theme, reveled by the uniform like outfits with a photo of the model wearing it on their chest like a badge. Also displaying other types of people associated with a private institution, from officials/doctors in coats and also the act of freedom/escape shown in the colorful graphic tanks full of land. Many long coats mixed with graphic pieces. Their hair styled tasseled and wispy. Full of unclear stories but always interesting and captivating. source:

Jil Sander Menswear S/S 2015 Not Pastel Goth

Disgusting Iphone Case
These days you see some pretty unique iPhone cases, but usually not to the extreme where you don’t want to look at or touch your phone. In most cases you want to avoid the instinct to step on your expensive phone and run away from it. In Japan these limited time creepy big isopod phone case comes in both a silver and gold version. It’s been stated that only 500 have been produced for purchase as their popularity rises you can expect more to be made. There prices range from 80 -150 dollars each. their website:

Artist Camila Valdez, Sweet Tooth and Legs.
Contrary to popular belief, these are NOT self portraits of me. Yes I breath sweets like no other but I promise I’m not actually made of doughnut bread. This is a series by artist Camila Valdez located in Argentina. It’s surreal, sassy and delicious. Each little food being is paired with legs and an attitude to match. I wonder what that little doughnut did to end up in prison. Is this trying to say we are what we eat? or just a fun approach to her personal anthropomorphic sandbox. source:

Roberto Cavalli Menswear S/S 2015 Lavish Safari Rockstars
This Roberto Cavalli collection is badass luxury and exotic. Full of colorful safari leaf and snakeskin prints. The play on the mixture of these prints with an array of different textures and styles. The more you think about it the more these pieces remind you of the 80’s, in the good way of course. source:

Dsquared2 Menswear S/S 2015 Young and Neon
A distinctively obvious Dsquared2 collection. With it’s young preppy rebel vibe and bright clothing #tanned #duckface. The thing that makes this show stand out of the rest are the uses of neon colors, we aren’t seeing much of those this season. Overall fun collection, I specifically enjoy the graphic art on the shirts and sweaters. Especially the cat sweater, meow.

Calvin Klein Menswear S/S 2015 A Timeline
This Calvin Klein collection is a story with a timeline unlike most collections this season. I assume the nude represents birth, the bright industrial plastic candy like coats represent blooming and/or our highest peak and the black is symbolic of death. It’s a lifespan, It’s interesting seeing them all dip into each-other as the timeline slowly progresses. I personally love the full nude and dark outfits because they are the extreme of both sides.

Burberry Prorsum Menswear S/S 2015
Very interesting collection, my favorite element of course would be the hats but also the very analogous color pallet. Single outfits all red, blue, yellow etc, but different kinds of shades and hues. Layered and well accessorized these gentlemen look stunningly dapper.

Illustrations by Mojo Wang, Sex, Pain and Secrets
Surreal Illustrations by Mojo Wang of China. Each one of these pieces has a severe personal narrative that can be perceived different ways. An ongoing theme of pain, sex and secrets. They are beautiful and eccentric. source:
