Luckily the student of architecture and new creative director of Pieter Mulier, answered Bollen’s lingering question of the outlook of Alaïa in Mulier’s more than capable hands, emphasizing the Alaïa’s ideals around body consciousness and the beauty of imperfection.

A few years ago, I had this idea of doing a Karen Mulder tribute based on her career in the 1990s. For some reason a couple of Oasis songs from their Definitely Maybe (1994) and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) albums really stuck with me, especially their 1994 single, Supersonic. Everything from Karen’s beautiful countenance, bright spirit, and noir femme fatale fashion style mirrored the sound and look of Oasis in the 90s.
Karen wasn’t part of the big five or six, but in her day, she was an absolute force and an even more brilliant star on the catwalk. She had a ton of personality in her poise and walk that you couldn’t help but be enamored in her style and ambience. Her work for Thierry Mugler and Versace alone, are some of the coolest and most iconic looks to me. Karen could be her own Frank Miller, Cruella de Vil or Maleficent kind of character, yet be lovable, slapstick, and class personified all in one.
A fashion valkyrie, blonde with class or Supersonic sentient, there’s truly not enough I can say about Karen Mulder. She’s probably impacted my life just as much as Chris Cornell, and she’s one of my all time heroes. And even as the world is seemingly going mad as it is of late, Karen Mulder is always someone who reminds me of the tremendous beauty in the world and innate goodness in people. So Happy Birthday Karen Mulder, wishing you peace, love & happiness, forever and a day.
‘Cause God gimme soul in your rock and roll, babe ‘Cause God gimme soul in your rock and roll, babe And I get so high I just can’t feel it And I get so high I just can’t feel it In and out my brain Running through my vein You’re my sunshine You’re my rain
Sittin’ on my own, chewin’ on a bone A thousand million miles from home When something hit me Somewhere right between the eyes Sleepin’ on a plane, you know you can’t complain You took your last chance once again I landed, stranded Hardly even knew your name
Paint no illusion, try to click with whatcha got Taste every potion ’cause if yer like yerself a lot Go let it out, go let it in, go let it out
Life is precocious in a most peculiar way Sister psychosis don’t got a lot to say She go let it out, she go get it in, she go let it out She go let it out, she go get it in, she go let it out
Is it any wonder why princes and kings Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings ‘Cause ordinary people that are like you and me We’re the keepers of their destiny
Yves Saint Laurent
Is it my imagination Or have I finally found something worth living for? I was looking for some action But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
You could wait for a lifetime To spend your days in the sunshine You might as well do the white line ‘Cause when it comes on top You gotta make it happen You gotta make it happen You gotta make it happen You gotta make it happen
Is it worth the aggravation To find yourself a job when there’s nothing worth working for? It’s a crazy situation But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol
Yves Saint Laurent
I know you think you deserve An explanation on the meanings of life But what you think that you heard Slipped away out the back of your mind
You’ll get your mucky fingers burnt You get your truth from the lies you were learned When all your plastic believers will leave us And they won’t return (Walk on)
And when you look in the mirror And you’re tying up your buttons and bows And as you face your disease You can squeeze into the emperor’s clothes
You found your God in a paperback You get your history from the union jack And all your brothers and sisters have gone And they won’t come back
I’m fed up with life in the city All the phonies have blown my mind When I’m gone, yeah, you look like you’d miss me So come along with me But don’t ask why Cos it’s all mine
