Being a fashion designer I was trained to keep an inspiration book. It just got beyond control. Books and boxes full of photocopies, photographs, little objects, fabric samples, magazines, notes, drawings you name it. I thought why not order it this way... as sort of a blog.

Subtitled
2015-02-28


Silkscreen printed EP cover by Stijn Dierckx for Belgian band Het Zesde Metaal.

I've been listening to their new album "nie voe kinders" and I definitely need subtitles but it's well worth the effort. Especially the song""Gie, den otto en ik".

The heart of the machine

The heart and soul of the machine are the people actually working it. I have been sitting behing the knitting machine for the last couple of days, and it was pretty heart-warming to see this editorial.

Illustration by Ingmar Sörhammar about the Busó festivities at Mohács in Southern Hungary. Since 2009 part of the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The Busó festivities are a six-day carnival in late February to mark the end of winter, named after the busós, frightening-looking costumed people (traditionally men) wearing wooden masks and big woolly cloaks. The festival is multifaceted, including a children’s costume contest, a display of the art of mask carvers and other craftspeople, the arrival of more than 500 busós in rowboats on the Danube for a march through the city alongside horse-drawn or motorized fantasy vehicles, the burning of a coffin symbolizing winter on a bonfire in the central square, and feasts and music throughout the city.

Oh honeybear, honeybear, honeybear
Mascara, blood, ash, and cum
On the Rorschach sheets where we make love

Honeybear, honeybear, honeybear
Fuck the world
Damn straight malaise
It may be just us who feel this way

But don't ever doubt this
My steadfast conviction
My love you're the one I want to watch the ship go down with
The future can't be real
I barely know how long a moment is
Unless we're naked getting high on the mattress
While the global market crashes
As debt fills the streets with garden variety oblivious
You grab my hand and say in I-told-you-so voice
It's just how we expected

Everything is doomed
And nothing will be spared
Oh I love you honeybear
Honeybear, honeybear, honeybear

You're bent over the altar
And the neighbors are complaining
That the misanthropes next door are probably conceiving a Daemon
Don't they see the darkness rising
Good luck fingering oblivion
We're getting out now while we can
You're welcome boys
Have the last of the smokes and chicken
Just one Cadillac will do to get us out to where we're going
I brought my mother's depression
You've got your father's scorn
And a wayward and schizophrenia

But everything is fine
Don't give into despair
Cause I love you honeybear

I Love You, Honey Bear by Father John Misty.

Due to technical problems the second part of Belgian radio show Duyster was not broadcasted live last Sunday. Thankfully it got published online and I strongly recommend to listen to it.

Chandelier
2015-02-14


Sia and Maddie Ziegler in Giorgio Armani at the 57th Grammy Awards' red carpet. How great to see an outfit whereby you are guaranteed to see more (and not just some supporting tapes).

Sia's song, Chandelier was nominated for several categories (Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, its video for Best Music Video). Although the song did not win any Grammys in the end, Sia together with Maddie Ziegler and actress Kristen Wiig stole the night with her appearance and live performance.

Riggan: Listen to me. I'm trying to do something important.
Sam: This is not important.
Riggan: It's important to me! Alright? Maybe not to you, or your cynical friends whose only ambition is to go viral. But to me... To me... this is - God. This is my career, this is my chance to do some work that actually means something.
Sam: Means something to who? You had a career before the third comic book movie, before people began to forget who was inside the bird costume. You're doing a play based on a book that was written 60 years ago, for a thousand rich old white people whose only real concern is gonna be where they go to have their cake and coffee when it's over. And let's face it, Dad, it's not for the sake of art. It's because you want to feel relevant again. Well, there's a whole world out there where people fight to be relevant every day. And you act like it doesn't even exist! Things are happening in a place that you willfully ignore, a place that has already forgotten you. I mean, who are you? You hate bloggers. You make fun of Twitter. You don't even have a Facebook page. You're the one who doesn't exist. You're doing this because you're scared to death, like the rest of us, that you don't matter. And you know what? You're right. You don't. It's not important. You're not important. Get used to it.
Sam: Dad...

Quote from the 2014 movie, Birdman, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu.

Best opening | first minute in a movie I've seen in a long, long time. Not to mention what comes after.

"Creeping tension"
2015-02-04


"The music is hypnotically simple yet always moving, filled with shifting moods and creeping tension."

I am a fan of Vortex.

Beyond the peephole
2015-01-31


Look 24 from Rick Owens' Autumn-Winter 2015 collection presentation, entitled Sphinx.

A much talked about presentation, perhaps for the wrong reasons [due to the strategically placed peepholes on the tunics]. To me, it went way beyond the peephole. Hopefully, it will generate more flux on the current perception of male bodies.

Two faces of feminism No. 1
2015-01-28


'In the late 60s I lived at the end of the King’s Road. Sports materials such as Lycra were being invented and used by designers, and suddenly the figure was being shown, without being exposed. The argument going on within the art avant garde about the representation of the figure seemed to me the same as was going on in fashion. And you saw it developing week by week on the King’s Road. People were throwing down the gauntlet: hems went up, colours came and went. I would wheel my children round in their pushchair on a Saturday morning and watch this great street theatre. It fed my work as it also fed the ideas of lots of other people, including the new feminists.'

Body Armour by Allen Jones RA, 2013.
