I figured I would start a Kiko thread seeing as he posted here in the yohji threads before his first collections. He is nominated for a LMVH award so I believe this is a good time to start a thread.

“Consumers should be much more critical and not distracted by social media “campaigns”; they should be able to make their own mind up and choose clothes with real beauty or substance. The press should have a more critical, honest voice that acts as a megaphone, making sure that fashion is judged by the designer’s skill, not their social media presence. - Kiko
I feel this quote is very relevant today in our social media obsessed world. Myself I have chosen to not participate as I cling to the past and hold on to what is near and dear to me in fashion.

I have not been impressed by what I've seen, though I wish him well (even though I kicked him off SZ because he was being a bitch, but it was a long time ago and let bygones be bygones).Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

weird to have a shitty reaction towards his work,
hes by far one of the most talented designers to come from the current zeitgeist/generation, the mackintosh collections were also very strong in general, especially the first one.
its weird to have such an adverse reaction like "this doesnt impress me at all" when the brand is making such power moves at such an early stage, such as appointing a very creative and talented duo for their women's line. there are other contemporaries where if you break down what they are making, they are like a theme park brand with the same garments in different "themes". the math is there with this brand, the concepts and backing are solid and maybe its not goth but its a respectable brand in a vast swamp of uninteresting development and this is just the beginning.
my question is now what is worthy and new?Originally posted by unwashedTry to use a phone camera in broad daylight or use a proper camera.Originally posted by AhimsaI've found it extremely pleasant and enthralling over repeated whiffs so I would highly recommend.

my question is now what is worthy and new?
My reaction is from my personal experience of the work I've seen in stores. Now you can tell me that what most stores buy is watered down stuff, and I won't argue.
I haven't seen the Mackintosh stuff. I've seen the Asics - whatever. What you say about early stages I don't buy at all. It's just hype moves much faster than before. Look at Ambush - total garbage and she has a collab with Nike now.
I am not going to lower my standards just because everyone else is - end of story. What's good and new? I'll take Abasi Rosborough over Kiko any day.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

there is a reason why GBS and even Rick Owens who are Americans are based in Paris/ Europe.
Look at most American that are at the forefront of fashion, they carry more European Brands than they do American ones. that does not happen in Europe/ Japan“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”
