BODE SS18 MEN’S WEAR

花花恤衫最讓人著迷的地方是他代表了渡假、輕鬆和休閑。通常喜歡這種風格的人都會變得很iconic,以很只要你看到花花恤衫就會想到他。第一眼看到Bode的設計時最令我震撼的是他們25張造型照,布料幾乎沒有重複(所以花紋都不一樣的)。這個成本應該蠻高的吧…不過呢,穿著得彩色一點也是很讓人開心的!其實花紋不是很難去配搭,如果你夠膽花紋配花紋通常都會很有風格的。基本一點的話,一件花紋配一件彩色也是可行的。

Running through Vogue.com, another nice introduction to new menswear label Bode. This is just some digable ish right here. Not really breaking any new ground, but breaking new ground at the same time. It’s taste. In cut selection, garment selection, patterns. It don’t matter if you got the flyest technology in the world but can’t piece it all together. Yeah it’s 70’s, sportif, blah blah blah. It’s just dope.

BEST MEN’S HATS SS18 A-M

So we gonna go through the wide world of fashion and edit all into potent bite-sized chunks for ya’ll. Let’s set it off with the flyest of the fly in headgear for the SS18 season. We gonna split the brands down the middle of the alphabet cuz there’s so much heat going on. Let’s get too it!


SPITGAN fav, Astrid Andersen comes thru this season with these lace, pastel durags. It’s a unisex piece, and I thoroughly enjoy the spin on the signature Hip Hop item.


Loewe with this magical tie up head piece. I think it transports you to places of lore like the Shire and ish.


Is this just a piece of fabric on one’s head? From Kenzo’s Memento collection, I think its sculpted with far more intent than I want to give it credit for.

AMBUSH SS18 MEN’S WEAR

A.W.A.K.E. SS18 MEN’S WEAR

這個非洲人來到日本之後買了很多很多的和服,然後他自已改造了一點吧。看,他還是穿著他們好喜歡的短袖恤衫配上和服的褲子,如果在剛果看到肯定會嚇我一跳呢。設計師Natalia Alaverdian這一季的主題是”Just random enough”。和服在日本是屬於很傳統、正式的服裝,然後夾雜了非洲人喜歡的穿著風格好像短袖恤衫、鬆身西褲等,剛好的把和服的嚴肅感去掉。看到一個非洲人那麼隨意的穿著和服袖的恤衫再加他們最愛的鬆身西褲和外套,感覺是有點幽默的。

A.W.A.K.E. continues to bring its freshness to the game. Breathing it’s vitality into menswear now, the wide, yet structured, signatures that we know and love are all here. Just kinda seems extra fresh now that they have gear for the fellas. An interesting pairing of Japan meets Africa. Even a ref to modern Japan with the use of polka dots? A not to CDG? Like how it’s paired with some D-Roses too. Not just kicks but performance kicks! Rock on, Rock on!

FIRST LOOK 2 : YEUNG CHIN FASHION PRESENTATION

我們終於能夠與我們的朋友,香港設計師YC楊展合作了!他用了一個怪異的電影作為靈感設計了這一場時裝表演。這是一個我們不太熟悉的風格,他向我們介紹了這個日本導演Shije Terayama。無論如何那天我們將PMQ反轉了:那個細小的房間中我們阻擋了所有光源,令視覺上的一切都是強烈的顏色和黑暗的互相糾纏。包括一個Shibari表演也是在這令人不安的黑暗中發生的。當中似乎有個「話事人」,所以人都要跟隨他的指示。但「話事人」後面還有一個「話事人」…當中12個模特兒有的被人騷擾著、有的裸體。房中很侷促,應該是個人人都想離開的地方但觀眾卻不停地進入了解這看來變態的表演(還有人帶小朋友…)。這就是我們最想看到的畫面,震驚著來PMQ的你,開放的去欣賞我們的創意。

Yes we were finally able to collaborate with our friend and HK designer, Yeung Chin. And what a collaboration it was! A short, bizarre movie was the inspiration behind the show. YC introduced me to a Japanese director, Shije Terayama, who’s work I was not familiar with. It was a surreal piece, at turns erotic, and just plain bugged out. Visually it was heavily color gelled, and we took those 2 pieces as starting points. Well 3, surreal, erotic, and colorful. What manifested was a performance piece the likes of which PMQ had never seen! It included wild characters, and a Shibari performance, all in a dark, yet colorful room that barely fit the performers! It was hot, crammed, and a challenge for the audience. Just the way we wanted it! Really enjoyed the fact that fashion stereotypes were challenged. Specifically body forms and traditional concepts of beauty. Also, it was a pleasant surprise to see an audience from all walks of life, nationality, and age, be open-minded and appreciative of the piece! Onwards and upwards YC!
