Dowdy is a famous man-basher. I don't see the critical point of this article - she obviously wrote it just to gloat. Shit like that makes one quickly go from being a critic to being a, well, I don't want to get into Rick's runway music territory.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

^No, see, I think it's her ability to read a context that's the problem, here!
Hmm, but I suppose us bitching about her concept of emasculation isn't any more constructive than her concept itself. So to respond to her claims: Ms. Dowd, you have conflated emasculation and femininity! A man in a dress isn't "emasculated" unless something has "masculated" him, to begin with. And even then, I would like to see if you had the balls to call either of these men emasculated to their faces:
That said, some (say, the two following) of the looks in this presentation were definitely feminine - I won't say emasculating, and I won't say effeminate either, because either one implies some sort of weakness or copy-catting on the part of the allegedly emasculated/effeminate. A man can wear a dress in an empowering way, you know...
A definite critical trend this season would be a facile grasp of gender identity.ain't no beauty queens in this locality

I'm not particularly a fan of the skirted stuff and the dresses and all, but this to me is his strongest collection of the three so far, and is more in line with some of the ideas that are consistent with what was done at cloak.
I'm not expecting him to go all out cloak, as times have changed and this is a new venture, but my perception of this man is that he is an elite menswear designer, and I see nothing so far to make me change my mind about that.“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”

Originally posted by kunk75 View Posti dunno, though i am not a fan at least rick has butcher up androgyny, this appears to be a women's collection worn by male models
Of course, I think that aspects of it is a little too trendy. something that I would never usually associate with his work. For me he has always been the designer who is able to create, a really intelligent and serious menswear collection that bridges the gap between strong tailoring and imteresting avant garde details. Almost for a guy who was once in the military, who has become a first rate intellectual with an interest in popular culture ..........
As a designer myself I also understand that it isn't always a good thing to ignore the trends. This is a business and we are catering to a specific client base. If you want to sell stuff, which you need to do in order to survive, you had better make stuff that people will want to buy at a given point in time........the thing is to find a happy medium between what your true identity is as a designer and what the market demands at a certain point......and when all is said and done I think Plokhov has succeeded at that with this collection, even if its not perfect“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”
