<br />
Here they again, my favourite rebel-rousers of last year: Estonia's Eurovision entry, Winny Puhh doing that crazy primal shriek they do so well. This time as part of a Rick Owens fashion show. It is as electrifying/terrifying as their first foray into world-wide infamy but somewhat less so as they only serve as an aural and visual backdrop to selling clothes. That said, the band come out better of this enterprise than the designer as we are focusing on the bizarre goings on to such a degree that we fail to notice the models strutting their stuff around them. Therefore as a fashion show it doesn't quite succeed but makes up for it in breathtaking spectacle and the internet buzz it created for a designer only the die-hard fashionistas have paid much attention to, prior.<br />
<br />
Still, what a breathtaking, subversive extravaganza!Say No To FACIONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726812881074251475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559223207361019589.post-35312474464145811632014-01-22T15:38:00.002+00:002014-01-22T15:38:55.884+00:00Most Memorable Event of 2013 - Part 2. Rick Owens S/S '14 "Vicious Women"<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VOn6HLx0YHM" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
..."And God Created Woman" - or should it be Rick Owens created "Viscious Women"?<br />
<br />
Is September 2013 a turning point for women's fashion? Is it the date when designers finally pull their fingers out their asses and face up to the reality of women's wear? How long can they continue creating images of an idealised female body shape that does so much damage to women's body image and psyche? Anorexic-looking teenagers on catwalks or billboards do no one favours. The buyer who can afford those clothes are middle-aged with a figure of a middle-aged woman. How can the customer relate to what she sees advertised? How do these unrealistic images lure them in the shops? There seems to be a disconnect and designers need to wake up - for their own, the manufacturers's and the entire business's sake.<br />
<br />
Hence the Rick Owens show's revolutionary effect on today's fashion. Beyond the clothes (some certainly wearable) the show's impact is more socio-cultural. The first obvious difference is the race of most of the models. Has there ever been a globally significant show dominated by black women like this? Most likely not. But the even more culturally relevant issue is the size of the models. Clearly, these are professional step-dancers, therefore don't necessarily represent the average, but the message Owens is sending out is clear. Photoshopped, stick-thin women are not the norm, designers therefore had better start paying attention to their true audience/market!<br />
<br />
Putting aside these hefty issues, there is then the performance. Are catwalk shows - with their recent instant worldwide exposure through the internet - the new THEATRE? Simply because of their populist reach, shows like this or Owens's "Vicious Men" S/S 14 and, especially, Meadham/Kirchhoff's A/W 12 extravaganzas can affect global change in attitudes to body image or women's place in society but can also have a transgressive influence on an international level. But above all, as we have seen in the above mentioned examples, they can be (deep breath in) cathartic. It is no longer enough to send 16 year-olds down a catwalk to a house track, the potential of such setting must be explored for dramatic purposes with a narrative arc, attention to performing to an audience and music.<br />
<br />
"Vicious Women" was exactly such a theatrical experience. It was fresh, eye-opening, dramatic, spine-tingling, intensely emotional and, yes, absolutely cathartic! A performance that has permanently seared itself onto our collective consciousness - a seminal cultural moment.<br />

<br />
Experienced rather a few outstanding cultural events last year (David Bowie at the V&A, Chaps Choir at the Union Chapel, the cathedral in Palma, Majorca, etc) but this video AND song made the hairs on my back sit up and say WTF!!! Spine was tingled, bumps goosed, mind blown and pants wetted. Not only is this a visceral, primal scream of punk intensity but a proper (dare I say) pop song that I couldn't stop whistling for weeks or indeed get out of my head...And then they returned a few months later on a Paris catwalk and again rocked my world<br />

But having finally had a listen it is shockingly bland. This is the stuff I remember both public and critics ignoring and/or ridiculing in the late '70's/early '80s. (Toto, Kansas even Herbie Hancock's jazz funk period, anyone?!) We didn't buy into the smoot</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17.999998092651367px;">h, technically superlative but soulless production then, why are we falling for it now? Are we being fooled by a sophisticated marketing campaign (of a magnitude never before seen for an album release - TWO MINUTE TV ad on prime-time TV?! Holly shit!!! This had better sell in Thriller-like bucket loads or Columbia Records is bust!) or are we just hungry for anything that harks back to a time when hedonism was still viewed with a degree of innocence (or willful ignorance?)? Or is it simply a new generation's misplaced irony-laced nostalgia for a period they didn't actually live through? It is devoid of a single fresh idea - which could be redeemed by some memorable melodies but apart from the mildly hummable Get Lucky, it lacks that too.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17.999998092651367px;"><br />So, yes, with a very heavy heart I must declare this a disappointment. But perhaps it is the band's fault. If they hadn't hyped it this much we would just accept it as Human After All Part II which is what this is and not the Second Coming as all the publicity makes it out to be.</span>Say No To FACIONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13726812881074251475noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559223207361019589.post-54612059252937861602013-05-16T23:52:00.000+01:002013-05-16T23:58:55.073+01:00Justin Smith - Milliner<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioXeRRKPLXOPCH5qvrBYAL9VWBnYkUkXHCFYmk-Db9cu837uCoLC0N1VGuiecElr2Ho7oFUNg6VE7Skf2QF6xkHvI7Dx0EK4hPBHG-S8d_6XJgnZjYFF5AGN3zMc31yBGoHQWgBzZ5xJk/s1600-h/_DSC2452.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441041394945710610" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioXeRRKPLXOPCH5qvrBYAL9VWBnYkUkXHCFYmk-Db9cu837uCoLC0N1VGuiecElr2Ho7oFUNg6VE7Skf2QF6xkHvI7Dx0EK4hPBHG-S8d_6XJgnZjYFF5AGN3zMc31yBGoHQWgBzZ5xJk/s640/_DSC2452.JPG" width="425" /></a><br />

Lovely collection of greens here to reflect the late spring blooming of trees everywhere we look. The hats must heed a particular attention. Noticing this style more and more.

Was looking for the Roy Haynes (the drummer on this recording) version but cannot be found, so here's Stan the man instead. Not too bad, this.<br />

After a somewhat (semi?)-enforced exile, I'm giving this blogging lark another whirl. Less and less interested in documenting what's on the street sartorially. (Perfectly explained in that notorious article for the New York Times by Suzy Menkes, linked further below.) People have cottoned on to what hipsters with cameras around their necks might end up doing with their pictures, and, unless the subjects are fashion peacocks, they want nothing to do with strangers ripping their look into pieces on tumblr et al. Therefore most will decline their pics taken and if they don't, you don't want them on your site. Ha! The futility of the modern day blogger, eh?!<br />
<br />
So, I've decided henceforth to concentrate on the mundane things in my life that grab my attention. It may still be an unusual get-up I spot on the street (only if I am able to have a snap on the sly), but it might be a pop ditty that I can't stop whistling, a music video of some redeeming quality, an ad or a flick (most likely of the art-house variety), to wit, stuff that I'd normally post on my FB profile to a rather smaller audience.<br />
<br />
So, BE WARNED, we are indeed saying adieu, farewell or just plan "no" to facion from now on, and embrace the beauty in the humdrum and prosaic! So, HELLO TUESDAY, you neglected shaggy dog, you!<br />

A rather late report on my buddy Ben Kirchhoff's latest mad collection. The boys (with partner Ed Meadham) never disappoint. Do I detect a splash of Central-European folkloric influences yet again? (See A/W '11)...I particularly loved the Tate Modern's new The Tanks as an inspired location. Grandiose, bombastic, alienating, frigid - against the romanticism of the clothes on display.<br />

Put more succinctly than I ever could. I find the scene distasteful and I want nothing to do with it anymore. So, farewell FWL/P/M, etc - hello Stepney Green!<br />
