All the men are dead

All the men on Planet Earth are dead except Yorick Brown. That's the story in Y: The Last Man, the fantastic graphic novel series by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra.
Collected in 10 volumes and published by Vertigo, it is one of the best reads of my life! A strange epidemic leaves all men on earth dead and the women take over the planet. Sole survivor Yorick and his monkey (yes, his monkey..) set out on a journey to reunite him with his girlfriend. On the way they meet Israeli troops, crazy politicians and some seriously deranged amazons.... and that just in the first couple of issues. This is EPIC storytelling with a very serious and thought provoking undertone. A modern classic to be sure. A movie/tv show is soooo going to happen. Mark my words!

Yorick Brown, our very reluctant hero and his gang.



The artwork is STUNNING.


and ps: The Watchmen are coming....

Kate Moss Banned From YSL

Kate Moss is desperately trying to get into this YSL shop. And despite countless costume changes, Mr. Pilati wont let her in. She looks great though...


Be sure to check out the YSL fall 08 men´s collection too! The video presentation is amazing.

Jeffrey Kilmer

Jeffery Kilmer is a New York based photographer and I love his pictures. I collect his work and can recomend you all to get some of his pictures. They look amazing on my wall. His work on rockboys is a true documentation of an emerging kind of Men. Maybe an interview will happen on MyTrend later....

Art + Sex = Book

Welcome to the first MyTrend Book Club!

To educate us all in the relationship between art and sex, the amazing John Waters and Bruce Hainley made Art: A Sex Book a few years ago. The book cover all sort of modern art accompanied by conversations between its authors. It gave me so much to think about when I made my final major project during last year at university and I hope you too will seek it out and gain a broader perspective on art and the power it has. Remember: Sex is back!

Emily Blunt

Why? Because she rocks my world these days. Totally.

SEX is BACK! (and it wasn´t Justin who brought it)

My good friend Admir Batlak (of Batlak & Selvig) told me so. And since he is genius, I believe him. So no surprises when I picked up the latest copy of Vogue Hommes International (BUY IT NOW!!!!!) and found the word "EROTIC" in shiny seductive letters on its hot cover. The issue is entirely devoted to the sexy and the erotic, focusing mainly on male sexuality. The focus on the male form and it´s hidden treasures has been an undercurrent trend for years now, and I think it will blow up now. This is a subject I will get into later, as it is of great interest to me. Watch this space...

Robert Mapplethorpe

But I will give you an opportunity to check out the amazing Robert Mapplethorpe. He as a photographer who redefined both art photography and the depiction of the male in modern art. At least I think so.

(Remember Helmut Lang used this image for an ad campaign a few years back?)

May the force be with ME

My birthday is the 10th of July. All I want is this amazing collection of statues from the super cool Koto, Inc. (Kotobukiya) of Japan. If you love me, order one from The Star Wars Shop.

And order something for yourself too, cause Star Wars is NEVER out of style...

Why Red is the new Black

TREND ALERT!! Well it´s been around for some time, but this Sprint (my new word for Spring. The freaky weather makes the equation Spring+Winter= Sprint, get it??) wear red! And I am not talking about RED products, but anything red. It´s a bold statement and will add instant flare to the monochrome wardrobe you got last year. Mix a red jacket with khaki trousers for that trendy Americana look. If you wanna go all the way, get a red trenchcoat and wear it Burberry Prorsum style.

The Burberry trench. I also dig the neoprene bag.


Mr. McQueen gives us hot red trousers.


Playornot (by Norwegian designer Stian Tjernsmo).

From the Gilded Age AW 08 collection. Proof that the trend will carry on into next winter. Not that I am thinking about that yet....

Action Hero 2.0

Two of my favourite up-and-comers in Hollywood are going head to head in the live action feature "G.I Joe" (2009) as Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt star as Duke and Cobra Comander. Other castmembers include Ray Park (aka Darth Maul), Sienna Miller (aka Poor Little Rich Girl) and Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock aka The Scorpion King aka The Gay Bouncer). Needless to say: I am excited about this... Joseph Gordon-Levitt, seen here with Ms. Schiffer in GQ

Channing Tatum. Hollywoods newest boy wonder. I wonder why?

"It´s a madhouse! A madhouse!!"

The wonderful Charlton Heston has left us for (soylent) greener pastures. He will hopefully be remembered for his hypnotic performances in classics like Ben Hur, Planet of The Apes and the amazing Soylent Green, and not for the gunloving antics of his later years. R.I.P big man...

Great Look Dude !

This is such a great look! Takashi Murakami (here at the opening of his retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum) is a cool and talented guy. You´ve probably seen his prints for Louis Vuitton. I love the way he wears the dotted shirt with the bow tie and a necklace. Love it. Have had my eyes on a shirt much like this for some time now and this picture proves to me I NEED IT ! and so do you....

Where The Wild Things Are

This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. Could totally identify with main character Max. Since the toys from McFarlane came out in 2000, it´s been buzzing in my head and now the movie is in post production. The film is directed by the wonderful Spike Jonze and was due out this coming May, but has now been pushed back to a October 2009 release. Rumors talk of Warner Bros worries that the film is to scary for kids and that reshoots are needed. I hope the outcome is true to Mr. Jonze´s vision, for he is truly a master.

This movie will have an impact. I just know it. So stay ahead and get the books, buy a t-shirt or display a figurine on your desk. It will make you look cool in a nostalgic kinda way!

The Return

As a young boy, I was a HUGE fan of New Kids on the Block. My room was covered in posters floor to ceiling. I made my mum make me the clothes they wore (she only put her foot down the time I wanted to wear my gold lamé shirt to school aged nine) and when me and my father went to see their show in 1992 , I was in heaven! I looked amazing in Doc Martens boots, black jeans and paisley print shirt and when Donnie ran back down from the stage after a failed attempt to reach me, dived over the girls between us and gave me a smile and a high five I felt like The Chosen One. Their style was amazing and their songs the best. The original boy band if you ask me.



They still look great (I especially like Jonathan Knight in his nylon jacket/blazer combo), but trendwise I recommend their earlier looks. Like in the video for You Got It (The Right Stuff) :

Be a trendy Dj and play a track from their No More Games/The Remix Album. It´s great.

The Girly Tash

Trend? Lately pictures of girls with mustaches have been popping up on my Facebook. These cute girls are obviously on to something (insert your own theory of The Disintegration of the Sexes here). I like it!

Today I wore...

The first day of spring today! Sun and a chilly wind made me wear a white crisp shirt with a nice Kenzo tie (their A/W 08 collection is terrific!) under my black leather jacket. Paired with blue jeans and new white canvas sneakers I felt fresh and creative (a great combination for spring).
