Leopold Bossert stuff is very well made, he uses the same fabrics as CCP and if you know where to get it you can get every piece custom made with your choice of construction fabric etc

Japan of course seems to take to this sort of thing very well, and feature lots of brands that lack any sort of visual story... Both the shops and the media. Maybe there's just something being communicated culturally I'm totally missing out on. I'm not sure which lifestyle it exactly appeals to. Perhaps "eco", "pleasant". The imagery is extremely passive, but that could be his wish to remain low profile and avoid hype. Hype will get you rich but the backlash might not be worth it.
In this little "Harndenesque" niche I think someone like Geoffrey B Smalls is a true artist. The anti-nuke thing and the OWS thing is brilliant. You can count on him not to take the devil's bargain. If anyone's even been dumb enough to offer..
I don't know where it started but there seems to be a ridiculous idea of Harnden as avant garde, perhaps to indicate it as a niche or in "opposition" to other clothing, or it was there because of Rei Kawakubo's associations. The label doesnt do justice to that particular type of clothing. Although his presentation does includes video art and such and such describing it as simply modern does a much better job.
"Avant garde" is a fucking bogeyman or red flag nowadays, like postmodernism or hipster. But you can get away with modern! You can call anything "very modern" "oh this dress is very modern". But something like an Issey Miyake dress is so fantastical they're still "avant garde" looking. Avant garde seems to indicate a certain fashion moment or is used as a substitute for "experimental". 80s Yohji (back when postmodernism and avant garde were more in fashion)? Yes, yes, avant garde. Yohji now? Adidas is not avant garde.
I just hope we don't get "grannycore" from journalists next.
In all seriousness, I think this old granny has more sex appeal than most women 1/4 of her age (I hope that number doesnt come out to little children, I simply cant be bothered to do math at all). I'm getting some Louise Bourgeois vibes. Really something you could wear whether you're 24 or 99 (but yea blah blah weve all heard that one before).Last edited by yack; 08-07-2014, 01:28 AM.
