SPITGAN MAGAZINE: SPITTING MAD FIRE
The hair and makeup for Yohji Yamamoto SS19 men’s collection was a dirty mess. Lookin’ like some bums on the street maybe? A coal-miner coming back from a days grind? Down with it. We ain’t afraid of a bit of dirt under our nails here at SPITGAN at all!
MORE DIRT AND GRIME :
Earlier this year I saw a Chinese opera poster in the MTR and noticed the way their makeup exaggerates all contours and highlights. They do this to make stage performers’ facial expressions be more visible to the audience sitting far away, but what always confused me was their choice in contour colors… Red, against paper white skin.
This odd thought changed when I came across the Ashley Williams FW18 fashion show, basically all the models was having that same makeup that almost looks almost identical to Chinese opera makeup, but with black lips. Guess China is becoming a leading trend now.

Truly a symphony. This fashion show was “Mobb Deep”. An ensemble cast of knitwear flavors from the up-and-coming in Hong Kong. Organized by the good people at HKKIDS (Hong Kong Knitwear Association, lets say), there was some real talent to be had in this season’s crop. Hong Kong’s future is in some capable hands. Hopefully these young guns will be allowed to foster on home turf! We sent in a worse for wear, Nick D to photograph the proceedings backstage and somehow he turned some, “too cool for school” models into a laughing and smiling mess! PT. 3.
At the Shooting Stars show at Centerstage HK Fashion Week. Mostly to see the new offerings from China brand JBNY. Really think they coming with some clean sportwear lately and sneaks. They impressed with some au currant knits and fashion savvy. Also on the runway were HK brands, Moiselle, Anagram, and Initial.
