So, here’s finally the 2nd part of this big project.
See the first part, a description and all credits HERE!

Some may know by now that I am currently featured in the May Issue of Vogue Italia in the “New Talents” section with the picture above. Those who didn’t, well they know now!

Butterflies are having quite of a hype lately, though this project was born long before and it took a lot of time from the concept to its realization. And despite its title ‘In Bloom’, it surely is no happy spring tale.

The idea came across as I was studying the mise-en-scène of fashion design in the ’90s, where the spectacle often bared an element of horror, balancing opposite extremes in a way that takes us straight back to baroque imagery. Realizing that such memento mori would no longer shock anybody today, I wanted to revive this ambiguity of beauty/decadence, life/death as something natural, if not even obvious.

I hope you’ll enjoy this first bunch of picture, I’m going to post some more in the next days.

My thanks go to the amazing crew who made this possible:

Lee McQueen’s death in February was a devastating loss not only for the world-wide fashion community, but for everyone working in any creative field that’s somehow connected with fashion. During his rather short career as a designer, he influenced the 90′s and 2000′s with his unique aesthetics like probably no other.

To show how much his work had affected a whole generation of young creatives, Chiara and I decided to shoot a couple of homage pictures.

The 1st one was shot in my studio with Maria Justus wearing a dress that Chiara made from 40 meters of fabrics. The inspiration for the dress comes from McQueen’s S/S 1999 show. We wanted Maria to look not like an object of desire, but strong and untouchable, with certain historic references. Make-up and hairstyling by Maren Endraß.

The 2nd photograph was taken in a private chapel. Chiara is wearing a vintage Yamamoto dress that’s enlarged with additional layers of textile by Lorand Lajos (who also made the headpiece and the collar) and an Italian vintage wedding dress. Make-up by Maren Endraß.

The last one has become my new portfolio cover. I came across this fascinating dog during a walk downtown. The Xolo breed is truly controverse and altough it is based on a genetic disfunction it has been honored as sacred for thousands of years now. To me, the Xolo represents a certain kind of Otherness. Looking like a creature from culture’s unconscious depths, he seemed to embody the McQueen-principle quite well. And to bring the relation to clothing back into the picture, we decided to make him a coat from fur rejects.
