SPITGAN MAGAZINE: SPITTING MAD FIRE
HBA you are a provocateur! Some of the buttons you push are too much for me but overall I dig the vision! This season more play with traditional Hip Hop staples, polo shirts and khakis to interesting effect. The use of the arm sling is illin’ and in effect. Salute again!
For the carefree youth that surround him. Haider Ackermann with another edition of dope! Steady pushing menswear forward mixing streetwear with a feel much more avant garde and futuristic. One of the most inspiring working in the menswear field right now! The burnt patterns, acidic color pairings and garment details are too dope and all his own. Word up!
I want to come to this tea party. If there ain’t drugs there I am gonna beat narcotics out your blood stream! I bet you it’s like tea sets of percocets…pills, pills, pills, whatever’s the new school is into these days. Weed is the afterthought here. Let’s just stick to the foolery that is the men’s, it’s already too much dress up. Where do you fellas hang? Do you beef with Cosplay kids? I wanna trip on your toadstools deep in your perscription forests, do boat cruises on your cough syrup lakes. Let’s beef over Twitter. You are somehow disrespecting Wes Anderson, Alessandro and I don’t like.
So Gosha, straight up, how old are these boys? Jesus. Aight. Some reference to a guy called Pasolini, a Communist, who inspired this collection. These kids are more a reference to said cat’s teenage lover, or 17 year-old hustler that confessed to his murder. Boys look like they about to enter their teens not in it. Twisted. The clothes are otherwise some overpriced sportwear fair for a new generation that has never seen it before. Track pants and blazers, that these pubescent soccer hooligans like to wear. Collabs with Italian brands, Fila, Kappa, and Sergio Tacchini, the hipster is now a Gino. It’s all good these days. Viva la Fuccboi!
Well it’s the end of an era. Riccardo has moved on from the brand he brought back to life, and infused with a complete new set of DNA. For this, his last season of menswear the silhouette has not changed. Definitely masculine, the advances are in the details. Some zipped collars catch my eye, a stiff, laquered fisherman hat, and zip enclosures to tee’s and blazers alike. No reinvention of the wheel but it’s highly wearable and still a style I dig! The finally of the show also included 13 women’s couture pieces for just random, excess flavor. Wit it!
