The Era of Avant-Garde Porn

The Era of Avant-Garde Porn

The girls and guys from Pornceptual never cease to stimulate us with their creative erotic output – no matter if it’s with the photos on their blog, their magazines or the videos for their parties. They’ve given us flowers in spring, Mad Max futurism, surrealism, and horror porn. Now they’ve opened their Avant-Garde era with a new photo series by Yu-Liang Liu and a video by Pornceptual co-founder Chris Phillips.

With fashion having borrowed heavily from the aesthetics of pornography and fetish wear, it was a matter of time until the exchange of genres also happened in the opposite direction with porn integrating elements of design and fashion into its aesthetic. The new works from Pornceptual are just a few examples of that. It was about time that porn also exists with a sense of style – it’s all the more stimulating!

Don’t miss the upcoming edition of the Pornceptual party on April 13th, 2019. The new theme is called “Porn Forrest” and you can expect quite a lot of sex behind the bushes…

FIER Vitrine – An Avant-Garde Group Show

FIER Vitrine – An Avant-Garde Group Show

When I entered the Lehrter Siebzehn location on Tuesday night for the exhibition party FIER Vitrine I was pretty impressed. Of all the events by FIER Management this was by far the best one. Ten really well selected international labels presented their new collections here with really nice set-ups and fashion presentations. Every corner was dedicated to another label and arranged to create a little world around the design work itself. Every presentation had one, two or three models showing the key pieces of each collection. I really enjoyed all of them, but my favorite one of all was for sure the menswear collection by Aussie Alexandra Hackett who created every piece of silver foile. Very cool! Take a walk with me through the fashion exhibition after the jump.

XXXclusive with Mads Dinesen

About 2 weeks ago Claudio and I went to another XXXclusive event at the XXX Berlin store in Kreuzberg. We love the place and the unique events and presentations they do their. This time they invited young avant-garde designer and artist Mads Dinesen to show a special new collection and his exhibition of objects and photographs. His work is amazing and I’m proud to be the owner of one of his garments. Check out the photos of his presentation after the jump.

X X X Berlin – The Avant-Garde Haven

X X X Berlin – The Avant-Garde Haven

When I stepped into the X X X Berlin store in Kreuzberg a few weeks ago I thought to myself, oh my god, this is an avant-garde paradise. The look of the store, the selection of designers, the little details everywhere. It’s a dream come true for every lover of avant-garde fashion. They have amazing collections by Berlin-based designers and labels such as Mads Dinesen, Butterfly Soulfire and Tata Christiane, as well as international designers such as Barbara I Gongini and Moonspoon Salon from Denmark, Thomas from Canada, Bjorg from Sweden and Guiseppe Virgoni from Paris, who I think could be called the male counterpart of Augustin Teboul. They also have a very interesting record selection with releases by Dutch label Enfant Terrible that you could call the musical equivalent of avant-garde fashion.

When you dig further into the spacious loft in a hidden backyard at Görlitzer Bahnhof you will also find a beautiful gallery hallway and beyond that a kitchen space that is used for private dinners and presentations. There are also 3 very cool guestrooms that they rent out to artists and designers to work and sleep. It basically has all you need. I want to move in!! Have a look at our photo set from the X X X store and the details after the jump.
