    I’ll wait for it on DVD, as they used to say. I did read that yesterday and couldn’t help but wonder how many people he has fucked over and left on the side of the road in his career?

      In regards to fashion shows...

      I wish that these were more accessible to smaller artisanal brands. However, it seems to me that film allows brands to display their work in a "performance" setting.

      As well, it seems like the bigger brands that can afford elaborate shows only do so to make up for decreasing quality in their garments. Not all of them of course (Rick is an exception?), but in my opinion these shows are defdinitely being used as a marketing technique as opposed to a canvas upon which to showcase a concept.

      Those are my 2 cents...

        I agree, Julian_Doe.
        For me Fashion Shows are often a tool to generate Instagram-Worthy Pictures though for me nearly every setting and the looks looks cheap through a shaky iPhone-lens.

          Depends on your point of view on what an elaborate show is.

              Yes Newp, I’m in the same boat as you in thinking that some of the best shows I’ve seen are put together without Hollywood budgets

              If anything my suspicions are that experimental shows don’t translate well into expanding the brand... ie it makes the brand seem inaccessible to the fashion conscious

                While clearing out my studio I came across a pile of old magazines and just went through my Arena+ Homme from SS03 and damn everything in it is so fresh. Lang, Adrover (?), Chalayan, even some early early Rick, Dior of course. I’m stumped.

                          I'm pretty fucking far from Ok.

                          The above line was from Pulp Fiction after Marcellos Wallace gets anally raped.

                          But in all seriousness, no one takes these awards seriously anymore. James Jebbia least of all, as evidenced by his acceptance speech.

                                The audience today is the big problem. No one wants to hear this, of course.
