What are you wearing today?

[AKA*NYC]

i don't think ccp designs with wearability in mind. for the most part his clothes seem most lifelike when hanging on a meathook detached from the human body. as contrived as it sounds i see him as an artist above all else - at least as of 2008.

I like to think of Poell as a magnificent wing-ed angel flying out of the concrete colored heavens with an electric guitar made of pig intestines and sinew, singing songs only heard as a whisper.

But i do think he designs with bodies in mind, and without a body the tension, rigidity, intensities, restriction, etc. are lost. The rendering of these forces are only there in the relation between the work and the body. I see him as an artist to, but one who needs a body, like the choreographer who needs moving bodies.

And Tiger, if possible, I would love to see a better picture and details of that outfit, as it's hard to see what you have created, i.e. the suit!

Ps. I don't think Rick Owens trainers works, period.

I like this idea a lot : CCP's clothes need a body like the brodequins need the torture victim's legs.

Around your legs will this boot be bound. Do not be fooled by our usage of the word boot, for this boot is one made of wood. It contains scarce enough room inside for both of your legs, let alone the wedges that we will drive in once the boot is fitted. As each wedge is driven into the slot of the brodequin, it shall force your legs tighter against the constraints of the wood encasing them. When your legs can compress no more, your bones will snap from the pressure and agony will fill your body.

His purpose is the relation between the desiring/reluctant body and the artistical unwearability of his clothes. Makes definitely sense.

I was just thinking that the best CCP garments need a body to negate it's realities.

...I think I agree with this?

I would say that Poell absolutely designs with the body in mind, just not with comfort and ease (indeed sometimes the very opposite of such) in mind.

An aspect that really draws me to "sz aesthetc clothing" is the idea that the wearer completes the piece, a concept that seems frequent in Poell.

A drapey or overlong (or j-shaped or twist seam) item may be attractive and interesting on it's own, but it doesn't become fully realized until worn. This makes fashion,a traditionally passive artform for the viewer/wearer, active.

Edit: Hah, I hope that doesn't sound too pretentious...

“What is the body? We do not define it by saying that is it a field of forces, a nutrient ground fought over by a plurality of forces. For in fact there is no ‘medium’, no field of forces or battle. There is no quantity of reality, all reality is already quantity of force. There are nothing but quantities of force in mutual ‘relations of tension’. Every force is related to others and it either obeys or commands. What defines a body is this relation between dominant and dominated forces.”

the body and ccp cannot be separated
