Nick Knight’s Paradise Lost is unsettling precisely because it redirects violence toward something we are conditioned to treat as harmless. Roses, symbols of romance, devotion, and ceremony, are shown being shot through the head. The gesture is abrupt and wrong-feeling, not because flowers are rare or fragile, but because they are culturally protected from this kind of 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:

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.
Camila Valdez’s series Sweet Tooth and Legs exists in a world where food becomes character and humor carries a sharp, knowing edge. Based in Argentina, Valdez creates surreal figures that feel playful at first glance, then quietly subversive the longer you sit with them. Each piece presents a small edible form paired with human legs, posed with an attitude that feels deliberate, expressive, and unmistakably self aware.

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
Burberry Prorsum’s Spring Summer 2015 menswear collection arrived with a sense of confidence that felt both polished and quietly experimental. Under the direction of Christopher Bailey, the house continued to refine its vision of modern British elegance, blending tradition with a willingness to play with color, proportion, and styling in a way that felt fresh rather than forced.

Illustrations by Mojo Wang, Sex, Pain and Secrets
Mojo Wang’s illustrations do not arrive quietly. They confront the viewer with intimacy, vulnerability, and psychological tension, all rendered through surreal compositions that feel deeply personal yet deliberately unresolved. Working from China, Wang creates images that sit at the intersection of beauty and discomfort, where desire and suffering are not opposites, but intertwined states of being.
