Well, sometimes I want to add a pinch of salt to the sugar.

this is both funny, accurate, and interesting.

can we call paul harnden, or the paul harnden aesthetic/ethos, post-fashion? is that why so many stylish people that are "inside" the fashion industry are so drawn to it? for example, each season at the fashion shows we see stylists, buyers, retailers, and designers that have some association with what i guess we'll call the avant garde, photographed by the fashion bloggers and streetstyle photographers decked out in harnden. is that simply because harnden is "hot" right now? or is harnden hot right now because many of the fashion industry's most stylish people are wearing it (and dressing people in it)? and are they wearing it precisely because it feels "post-fashion"? perhaps because the design and the clothing itself is so "pre-fashion"...? and is that partly why we see it hanging in closets right next to ccp our dark lord of anti-fashion even though they have almost nothing at all in common?

well....yes, i think so.

edit - or is everything i just wrote a long winded way of saying something that never needed to be said because its completely obvious?

is paul harnden a cool way of looking so uncool that only other cool people will know how cool you are?

Paul Harnden is the normcore of the avant-garde. Or in Diane Vreeland's words, "It takes a lot of money to look so poor."

[bukka]

Even if it's only used with irony,"normcore" is really making his way in sz vocabulary

[Faust]

iSorry. :(

The simplicity of Harnden and the focus on fabrics rather than changing the designs I liken to hardcore foodies who first evolve and evolve and then want the most complicated execution in their dishes and meals... then years later this (d)evolves into a want for something that is straightforward with a focus on the ingredients rather than overt complexity.

After a while, it becomes too time consuming to layer 5 things, make sure everything matches, put on all your chains and rings etc. etc. It is so much easier to have a series of garments in which everything goes with everything.

To me, there perfect complement to Harnden is maybe a slice of Difara's. Simple yet complex with a focus on the basic components.
