Paul Harnden

[Faust]

True story, Wim Wenders was wearing a Paul Harnden jacket when I interviewed him. He kinda winced when I mentioned it though. Actually, it's not the first time I get a reaction like that. I don't know why - is it some kind of a secret society?

[Shucks]

could it be that you ruin the fantasy of 'i'm a victorian chimney sweep' by doing that?

[Faust]

I don't know, but if we approach it psychoanalytically, I would not be surprised if there is some kind of guilt/shame associated for paying a lot of money for anti-fashion only to have a fashion journalist notice it. Of course, I don't have time to get into the "I'm a fashion journalist, but not really a 'fashion journalist'," etc. etc.

[Shucks]

shame

nailed it.

Do you wince when someone refers to you as a fashion journalist?

He should have known it would be noticed. I wonder what Richard Serra's reaction would be. He loves some PH.

I suspect it's more that, "the first rule about Harnden is you don't talk about Harnden."

Hahaha! Unless you are on SZ. Or if you are Galliano.

No, I don't care. I like being simultaneously in fashion and outside of it.

He couldn't really know he'd be noticed because we were talking about his new documentary. I didn't come in as a fashion journalist, and I am sure he had no idea about SZ, because it was a publicity tour and other people who interviewed him were like BBC and shit.

I must say, these old men don't do Harnden justice the way younger folks do. It looks dumpy on Serra and it did on Wenders (he has gained a lot of weight, by the way). FMC, I think you are onto something!!!

Huh, reminds me of my grandfather.

(but humbly)


Another possibility: Wenders was embarrassed because it was actually Bergfabel.

LEGIT IRL LOL

[Senpai]

Bergfabel comment made me snicker audibly in lecture. Thank you for that.

On another note, any report on the PH scent yet? Mildly interested.

[noirgt]

Strong old fashion scent. It's made from Vodka or something... If you want you can drink it...

[Faust]

Shit's straight up nasty (but so is Chanel #5). Someone will buy it.

Now THAT would be embarrassing.

More or less so than if it was the Nick Wooster take on harnden? ;p
