Tim Blanks review; The experience of watching a show by Rei Kawakubo or her protégé Junya Watanabe is akin to being given a code to crack, hardly a challenge which presents itself very often in the fashion arena. And that’s why I could reel away from today’s shows in Paris with a sense of achievement. I cracked the code! It mightn’t have been their code, but it sure worked for me. The first clue is always the invitation. Junya’s featured a tripartite photographic exposition of America’s military might. Think about it—that was the average Japanese family’s introduction to the West after World War II. Next clue: music. Junya’s was Charlie Parker’s be-bop. Now you have to imagine jazz as the sound of democracy. Then came the clothes that go with the freedom. At an average fashion show, the pork pie hats, shades and narrow black ties might be set aside as stylists’ flourishes, but here they were finishing touches to outfits that starred the slender tailoring of Parker and his cohorts, emphasised by attenuated silhouettes. Rebirth of the cool? “This is a man” was the theme of the show. It was a real Junya moment. (By the way, I'm going to take this small moment to say how much I hate the transition from men.style.com to gq.com. Such a waste! Very unfortunate that us Men have to be relegated to GQ's musings now, when men.style was a great counter part to style.com. Not to mention the fact Tim Blanks' reviews are now on style.com, for men's shows! Not sure what will happen to those witty gents who did the fashion segments, in the closet either, I rather enjoyed their ramblings during the middle of a busy work week. Sigh.)
