EDIT: Forgive the brevity of the following post. Synoptic at best, if you're feeling really generous.
Jona will be the first to tell you that his collection is a bit of mish mash. This is because he does not design his collections based on a theme, nor does he intend to do so, in the future.
So you know where he's coming from....He's a huge history buff. Most of what he reads (printed in the english language) would be 'classified' as history. He let's his imagination run with images of what heroes from the past would be dressed in...also referring to old photography and art for reference. He doesn't escape into the past though. He is "here now" with his eyes on the future (ok, that was a pitiful attempt to work in Ram Dass). So anyways, you will see in his designs a kind of reinvention of utilitarian items from long ago.
The first look as e.g. The draping leather is inspired by the apron that the town blacksmith would don when working metal. Much of the work is done with this approach of idea, containing a healthy dose of humor (not to discount it as a joke). I make this point to defend against any claim that this is bathos. Jona knows exactly what he is doing here. There is a sort of esoteric quality to the representations if you care enough to seek the subtext of each piece. But as STEALTH said in another thread, this is speculative without the designer's explanations. Humor or not..some of this stuff is really cool.
Check the "torpedo bag".\/

Originally posted by SombreResplendence View PostYou do know what kind of forum this is, right? I'm going to echo Faust and ask: do you really see this style that frequently in your everyday life? I know I don't. And these labels, philosophies, and expressions existed before you and I did; the only reason you're want it gone so badly is because you come to this site all the time and see it in pictures on a computer screen. Unless you're seeing and touching the fabrics everyday I don't think you're in a position to adequately posit that opinion. I can count on one hand the number of times I've handled the work discussed here. Every time I was impressed. Stop living in 2-D, and quit the tunnel vision.
As for the collection, I like it. I like most of the pants. And I can't say this is a knockoff of (place favourite designer here). There are one or two looks that wouldn't look out of place in suburbia (meant here as a compliment).

no one is shitting themselves (the way they shit over the highly derivative obscure) - merely trying to protect a young designer from undeserved bashing.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

just handled some of the pieces and I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed with some of the offerings. basics are out of this world (construction is stellar). I have to agree with Zam and say that some of the pieces do need some work, but the strong pieces are absolutely amazing! Like a couple of the Yohji skirts for S/S10. This collection has managed to stimulate a great deal of excitement in me!Originally posted by Faustfuck you, i don't have an attitude problem.

Originally posted by eris quod sum View PostAs soon as I get around to it, (most likely tomorrow at a normal hour) I will post the remainder. The black linen shorts and jacket are the two pieces I absolutely can not wait for... and there are some great basics in the collection as well.Last edited by DHC; 12-22-2010, 03:48 AM.Originally posted by Faustfuck you, i don't have an attitude problem.

the fabric choice on the basic tee shirts is fantastic to handle, its washed cotton/modal blend, the linen double layered shorts are sick as well. the collection is raw but strong it will get stronger as well.
