Black in Fashion

[thehouseofdis]

I just came across these articles, "Japanese Minimalism Set to Reshape Fashion Once Again" and this longer piece "Blacking-up: The 1980s Japanese Revival".

Nice articles that mention Yohji, Rei, Ann and Rick among others. I was surprised to see Yohji wearing something by Ann Demeulemeester.

It never ceases to amaze me how much liberty The Guardian fashion journalists take with terms like "minimalism" and "deconstruction." B -

I think maybe he wants to try to wear other designers that it's appropriate to his character.
I saw Karl Lagerfeld wearing clothes from Hedi Slimane his favorite designer often.

minimalism is a keyword for "lots of black" and deconstruction for "serious-looking people wear this shit". At least in my experience.

That was extremely difficult to read, structurally.

Reading it causes me enough pain as it is...

[Heirloom]

it seems the writing is deconstructed and the thought behind this minimalistic.

Summed up very nicely. I'm not even going to bother reading those articles. I need to get my game face on...
