I agree with her about men on the catwalk
and dreams of men in beautiful suits,
i'll bite my tongue about the rest.
Glad you all like the thread, btw, i thought i was just indulging myself.
kompressorkev, nice post.

It's all an education for me Laika, thanks Miss :P
I love a fantastic cut suit and a glass of whisky and an open fire, not sure how well they go together unless you just arrived home from work/dinner/date? I always picture more casual in this situation..WTB: ThisComment

Men like this buy Loro Piano and custom made suits - they couldn't care less about who VB is.Originally posted by laika View PostFashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

that's just not true, Faust, i know it from experience.
I think VB designed clothes more than fashion;
and one doesn't have to be preoccupied with fashion to have an
appreciation of clothes, or aesthetics, for that matter.
I think that's the kind of man she is referring to.......I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.Comment

If that's what she means, then it got lost in translation, because it certainly doesn't sound like it. I think of muuma when I think of her ideal customer - his style is almost preppy, deceptively conventional, but it would be wrong to say that he doesn't care about fashion. To even know who VB is is to care about fashion. Otherwise it just doesn't register on people's radar. I know that ideally she designed for a man like that, but I just don't think he exists.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Maybe it's a man who is aware of fashion,
but doesn't think about it all the time--
or wants to appear like he doesn't think about it all the time.
I imagine Raf is this sort of person (occupation withstanding)
when it comes to what he wears, and i can see him wearing a lot of this stuff.......I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.Comment

That I'll give her. Anyway, it was just probably awkwardly phrased or not well though-out, but I think I understand what she's trying to say.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

actually, she didn't write it--
it's Oscar van den Boogaard as Veronique Branquinho
from "Moi, Veronique," in A Mag.

I see. We need to thoroughly analyze this from a philosophical, literary and anthropological perspective tomorrow. Or not.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

yes, so many layers, so many more clothes...

so true, which is what makes the new raf direction all the more baffling.
i don't know a single man who owns anything made by VB.
