His womenswear is so creative and awesome. How can he possibly put this stuff out? I honestly don't really understand how someone's vision of menswear and womenswear can be so disparate--I don't think I've seen any designer with as different of a vision for the two. I guess now that I think of it, it isn't necessarily bad for someone to design very different characters and aesthetics for men and women, but I just can't get into this at all.
I'm all for designing for the "real guy," but in any case, when was the last time any of this was the "real guy?" Most of the people buying this, I feel, wish they had the simple lifestyle of this character, or they wish they earned their money in a more honest, humble way. But very few people fit into this character and the ones that do, are not watching fashion shows, shopping in barneys, or paying junya prices.
