Every year, the “Festival for Fashion and Photography” assembles the international high fashion scene in Vienna. Right next to the glossy catwalk, vendors from developing countries make a living with fake brand goods on Austria’s largest flea market. A local inspection. An...

“Female oppression still exists in many of our societies today and that’s why I used to hate myself for being born a man. Dressing up as a hot babe makes me feel not guilty about having a penis and for the guys I’m with it is often a positive surprise....

“Aluminum caps are the the next big thing in fashion. It’s a cool material with a functional aspect since the academic pigs of CIA have captured all the radio antennas in the world. There’s a 24/7 transmission, sending radiation that affects all living...

“All men are created equal, it is only men themselves who place themselves below equality. Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become...

“I think the ultimate challenge is to have some kind of style and grace, even though you haven’t got money, or standing in society, or formal education. I had a very middle, lower-middle class sort of upbringing, but I identify with people who’ve had, at...

“A few years back I used to do a lot of coke and exstacy, and when I say a lot, I really mean it. I would wake up at 6am, snort some coke up in my nose and leave for work. I used to work in a bank so all my colleagues did that too. We usually stuck to coke until 12pm...

“Fashion is not something that exists in wheelchairs only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is...

“There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me… or leave me. Accept me – or walk away! Do not try...

“A human thinks, a post Vietnam mine victim lives. From moment to another its a struggle and pleasure to be alive. When did you wake up last time thinking – God, I’m fuckin’ glad my legs are still moving. I am not thinking, there for I am, free as a...

“How we think about power reproduces power structures and makes us blind to it. It is free to penetrate us in domains where we are unable to conceptualize it. For an institutional actor there is no subjectivity, just plain opression. Power must be masked to be...

“In my opinion the most disturbing problem with society today is how bad some individuals still dress up. I mean we live in the 21st century and people are still overweight, untrendy and some are just plain ugly. What ever happened to plastic...

“The small things in life are what really matter. If I would worry all day about where I parked my BMW or how often my pool is being cleaned, I wouldn’t have time to be half the man I am today. That is why I live life like a rock star, taking every moment as it...

“It really makes me mad when our goverment is wasting and throwing away taxpayer’s money on education, health care, public transport and on god knows what. This is why our economy keeps hitting the wall and some of us are worse off than others. In my opinion,...

“To me a successful day at the office is not only about looking hotter than the guy in the next cubicle. I know I look damn good and I appreciate people noticing it, but in the end being an individual is what makes my day. As they say, the value of a person is equal...

“Consumerism is all well and good, but buying things never got me satisfied. That is why I’m not worried at all about my wife taking half of my fortune in the divorce. Sure she did get the kids, the house and the cars but really those things were just...

“To reach my moksha, I need to be a torso. Not hindered by the existence of my legs and arms. They need to go so that I can reach a new level of consciousness. The point where I leave behind the androgynous cat and the masculine Taurus, the power between the sexes....

“For a shallow consumer the fashion industry may seem like a bunch of horny narcists chasing one another, but their all missing the point. Fashion is really about sensuality – how an individual feels on the inside. It’s like an onion, with layers and the...

“In my past life I used to be the dominant fashion guru of the 14′th century. Days went by damning people to hell and verging innocent choir boys while watching them have their balls cut off. Through systematic exploitaiton of sons the Divine Sound was finally...

“Fashion is a way, a route from nothing to everything. It’s the story of Shunyata, nothingness becoming the great cosmic foam of the All, one to nine of Ba Kuluwm. You start from one and go all the way to one hundred. There is no middle way in fashion. If you...

“Being blind does’nt mean I could’nt see. Blindness is a gift given to me by industrial chemical waste. I call it the hunch, the look for love or the passion for fashion. You could just call it a mutation and feel bad about it, but instead I’m lovin...

“My husband suffers from HIV and he stays home because he cannot afford hospital treatment. To be honest, we can’t afford to keep him at home either. But this is something I am only glad about.This way I have an incentive to work longer hours and harder....

“Timeless fashion equals Sinatra. It’s the blue eye magic that gets you through the night – be it the tranquilizers, a bottle of Jack or the police beating you up for fun, you always wake up with at least one of your eyes blue. As he said, the best...

“Interracial encounters are what inspire me. With a pinch of muslim fundamentalism and a twist of western sexism you can reach a post-modern melange of naturist and camp, one which I call the flasher look. A true exhibitionist hides her beauty under a burka-like robe...

“Ugliness and beauty are just two sides of the same coin. In reality people won’t give a shit if you are blond, skinny and have big boobs because that just means that you are not interesting. The thing is to be distinctive, personal and, in a word, different...

“Being a successful model is not as simple as many think. It requires an immense commitment and is all about teamwork, leadership, priority management, but of course a lot of fun and satisfaction too. Time management is essential, combined with the capability of...

“I’m telling you, the guy who knows how to dress could wear the same clothes 30 years from now on and still be classy. Being timeless is what matters the most, not being so wholeheartedly entangled to the present social norms. Dare to be someone! If you take a...

“Have compassion for all beings, rich and famous alike; each has their suffering. The difference between a famous and a rich man is as small as the distance between my thumb and my index finger. Market economy affects individuals in two ways; it makes us consumers...

“Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another. Being well off is about having no respect for law or other conventional forms of ethics. Ask your landlord for authorization to shoot heroin and he’ll snitch you and you’ll loose a big...

“Graduating in the top of your class is not enough to make you successful. You need sheer determinism and raw entrepreneurial attitude to become a head honcho in today’s ruthless business environment. When I was only 8 I started by selling magazines in these...

“The first time you kill somebody you gotta make sure you get rid of the body. One of the best ways to do this is to sink it. It is very simple. You just need to weight the body with stones and other heavy stuff. Otherwise the body will swell up with air and floats...

“You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap. I’m just a fucked – up guy looking for his own peace of mind. I love New York, I love fashion. Money is no object to me. It’s fluid, in and out. I wanna live life to the fullest, express myself,...

“There are two kinds of people in this world, the weak and the strong. If you are born weak, the world will get you down. I was born a survivor, an enterpreneur, a leader of my time. I’m usually the guy that talks and people listen. If you can’t take it, if...

“Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. Alcohol is the final one. That used to be it, but Satan added some in the middle regarding power, influence and marketing. Do’nt get mislead – When a man is intoxicated by alcohol, he can recover, but...
