Lady Gaga – The Fashion Chameleon returns to the cinema

We can say a lot of things about Lady Gaga, but boring is not one of them.  She is extravagant, talented, avant-garde, colourful, multi faced, just an explosive person.

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was born on March 28, 1986, in Yonkers, New York, to Cynthia and Joseph Germanotta. Now known as Lady Gaga (the inspiration for her name came from the Queen song “Radio Ga-Ga”), she has become an international pop star.

The Japanese fashion scene

We all know that the Japanese have a very extravagant and intriguing taste in fashion. Brands like Superdry and BAPE are an example of the Japanese fashion scene. Today we will be taking a look at some of the labels that are considered high fashion.

JUNYA WATANABE

 

One of the world’s most respected contemporary menswear designers, Japanese or otherwise, Junya Watanabe worked under Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons before launching his own label within the CdG family in the early ’90s. Much like the output of COMME des GARÇONS itself, arguably the originator of Japanese avant-garde, Watanabe plays heavily with cuts, textiles and form to create bold reconfigurations of classic menswear designs.

 

In recent years the Japanese brand is perhaps best known for its use of multiple fabrics in patchwork designs, such as in its ongoing collaborations with Levis, but at the heart of Watanabe’s work is a fascination with different styles of clothing and how the wearer uses them.

As a result, workwear designs are reimagined with modern cuts and futuristic touches, elaborately-decorated jackets are designed to be just as easily worn inside-out, and classic pieces like suits and overcoats are disrupted with unexpected touches and textures. If Kawakubo’s avant-garde is a disruption of the visual elements of fashion, then Watanabe’s might be argued to disrupt the functional: it’s a denim jacket like any other, but unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.

WHITE MOUNTAINEERING

Yosuke Aizawa’s White Mountaineering is one of a number of Japanese clothing brands who transformed the power of functional, utilitarian clothing into stunning fashion design. Aizawa worked under Junya Watanabe before launching his own label in 2006, producing arctic and climbing-inspired clothing with beautiful details such as embroidery, jacquard weaves elaborate patterns and unique fabric blends.Geometric patterns are particularly prominent in Aizawa’s work, spanning knitwear and shirting to the beautiful parquet floor of the brand’s Tokyo flagship store.In recent seasons the brand has branched out to collaborate with a number of major labels, including British outerwear specialist Barbour, Saucony sneakers and adidas Originals — the latter of whom have received widespread acclaim for their elaborate Pitti Uomo presentations.Ironically, Aizawa has admitted in interviews that his designs are probably unsuitable for genuine mountaineering, but his fascination with the aesthetic and visual elements of cold-weather climates has nonetheless created some of the most interesting creations in Japanese fashion in recent years.

EVISU

Evisu is another label that’s easy to take for granted in the present day, now that their iconic seagull logo is part of the cultural fabric, but the story of its origin is actually one of the most fascinating out there. Started in 1991 by Hidehiko Yamane, initial production could only support up to 14 pairs of jeans being made, producing raw selvedge denim jeans of an exceptionally high quality.There are several stories about the origins of the brand’s name, a popular one being that Evisu was a deliberate misnomer of Levis — even more convincing when you consider the brand’s origins in Osaka, the knock-off capital of Japan, and the similarities between Levi’s and Evisu’s rear pocket “seagull” designs. In fact, Evisu is a reference to Ebisu, a Japanese god of money, something Yamane was keen to make when he founded the brand.During World War II, however, rationing and conservation meant Levis was not allowed to stitch the pattern into the back of their jeans, much like their hollowed-out “donut” buttons that saved metal during the war effort. As a result, the brand had to paint their branding on instead, something that Evisu references in their own painted logo.

Japan is an enormous country, meaning that it can provide us with a variety of choice. There is something for everyone there, a place in where even the most extravagant taste can be satisfied.

 

Another day, Another watch

Recently we’ve been covering some of the top watch brands that the ordinary person cannot afford. Today however, we have some great alternatives that will definitely surprise you.

NOTICE: This is not a sponsored post.

You may have seen these watches on some advertisement,  that’s because they have blown up as a brand recently. Filippo Loreti is a crowdfunded company started in November 2015. Since then they managed to acquire a massive following because of their fresh designs and the surprising quality that their products have. The cool thing is that they every person would want to posses something exclusive. Their watches offer just that. Their collections are for sale for limited time so if you are interested in buying one you better check what they have to offer. Oh, the price, I almost forgot. They range from 150 to 450 Euros  and we could agree that for a luxury watch this is more than a good deal.

Fabulous Collabs

Collaborations have recently blown up in the industry being more and more in demand. Each collection of collaborations is an exclusive limited edition making them extremely pricey, especially because most collabs are between high fashion brands like Louis Vuitton, Off White, Vandalized, Nike and many more of this class. Here are some of the most demanded collaborations made recently:

NIKE x OFF WHITE

Since it’s creation Off White have been working with Nike and to this day there is a new Nike x Off White collection every year. Their most demanded product is undeniably the Air Force One modded by off white numerous times with thousands of variations of this model.

PUMA

Solebox x PUMA Clyde
Solebox collaborated on the Clyde to bring you a clean shoe with a reptile formstripe.

Puma has always been open for collaborations making one of their most iconic models the suede a test subject to all these brands wanting to share a design with them.

They have some obscure models among all these collabs but this is not all they’ve got. They also have some stylish suggestions that can catch the eye of good taste: the

PUMA x Karl Lagerfeld are one such example.

SUPREME

Supreme is a brand that is famous for it’s controversial design language. This time they may have decided to take things one step too far. Or have they?

The notorious Supreme x Louis Vuitton hoodie. Famous with rappers, hypebeasts and other people that like to take things one extra step in fashion. Love it or hate it you’ve got to admit that it is iconic!

Back to the roots

You might know the person on the picture. His name is Giorgio Armani, one of the most renown fashion designers to walk this earth, possessing a mind blowing 5.5 billion USD, despite that fact he is famous for his humble character giving away millions  to charity every year.

When I  was in Milan I saw this  extraordinary person doing the same thing that he does on this photo that I stumbled upon. To see Giorgio Armani himself dressing the mannequin in his own store on Via Montenapoleone. That made me think, that if this man can still do work in his own shops besides his own net worth, then everyone should remember where they started from and to never forget that.

FSG is back

Hannah Ferguson

“I grew up on a farm riding horses, so it came naturally to me,” says the Texas native. In fact, horses weren’t the only animals she knew her way around as a kid: “My siblings and I took care of sheep, goats, turkeys, ducks, geese, dogs, and cats. Sometimes we had to milk the goats so their udders wouldn’t crack from all the pressure.”
