In the Atelier photo above the jacket looks a bit like a pair of trousers, pulled up over the wearer's nose. Viewed in that way, the wearer becomes a penis, tucked behind the fly. Or, perhaps the wearer is a turd, crawling its way up and out to freedom.
Now that is some serious pseudo-intellectual bullshit worthy of this thread. Thumbs up, seriously.
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
This is a really great explanation.
Unfortunately alreday used before...
"Mihi a docto Doctore
Domandatur causam et rationem, quare
Opium facit dormire?
A quoi respondeo,
Quia est in eo
Virtus dormitiva.
Cujus est natura
Sensus assoupire."
... to make people laugh.
Christian, putting aside the debate as to whether or not OOO (or atleast beauty in OOO) falls victim to virtus dormativa, I really like this notion.
"He described this initial impetus as like discovering that they both were looking at the same intriguing specific tropical fish, with attempts to understand it leading to a huge ferocious formalism he characterizes as a shark that leapt out of the tank."
Yeah, unfortunately I don't have the time to make 2.5k posts for them to be considered serious.
No, I haven't seen them worn. Since when do you have to see a shoe worn to determine if it's nice or not?
Listen, I fetishize Poell as much as the next guy, but what's fugly is fugly...
pictures sometimes don't give a good representation of items. I use to think CCP was really overhyped ugliness until I handled it up close. I mean some things are ridiculous and ugly to me still, but you can't expect one to like everything a designer produces.
The shoes in question at face value its hard to say really whether they are ugly or not, imo. I enjoy looking at them, though..dunno if the grotesque look on his shoes has grown on me or something, lol. I don't like when people say shit like, "OH those shoes look like insert cheap shoe brand ____" cuz its just an easy way out without explaining why they don't like it or why it isn't worth the cost.
I find it strange that this site is dedicated to avant-garde fashion design yet whenever someone really pushes the boundaries there is a conservative cry of dismay from many.
Isn't that the pursuit of a great artist/ designer?

If the jacket was part of a runway show it would elicit a much different response, I think.
