Menswear Fall-Winter 2013-14 (Mens Fashion Week - London, Milan, Paris)

Watched the Damir video. Collection looked better (a few cool pieces and sleeves were kinda interesting) but not enough. No desire-inspiring fantasy there. Too bad. I liked Christophe Lemaire's (also subdued) show better, I think. Will see how I feel in a few weeks. My reactions always change over time anyway.

Saint Laurent was exactly what I thought it would be. It'll probably sell really well. Not for me though.

Still liking Ann, Dries, and BBS best. Hope when Dries hits stores though there will be some stuff I actually want and its not too crazy. Does look good in pictures at least.

Amen.

Dries was really really really nice.

I think both of this guy's legs, in their entirety, could be fit inside his skull

Spoiler: Warning: Saint Laurent!

People always joke about anorectic models but that guy is actually really ******* skinny. Where does Hedi find these guys?

The clothes are an odd blend of Hedi DH and Decarnin Balmain. Not impressive, but the shoes are nice; Slimane always did well with DH footwear, too.

hedi's insistence on using children as models gives me the creeps

Tim Blanks' hilariously scathing review of Saint Laurent Paris Menswear AW2013 (amusing what constitutes "scathing" in the fashion universe):

... All of that added up to shoulda-been-fabulous. But we're forgetting about the clothes. And maybe Slimane did, too.

The kindest thing to be said about Slimane's first official men's collection was that he made a guy to go with his girl. ... All of it is thrilling in theory and practice, but it was a surreal incongruity to see it spotlit in a very expensive fashion presentation. Slimane's passion for the music he loves, the bands that make that music, and the lifestyle that surrounds it is entirely understandable, laudable, and well served with integrity by his photographic tributes. When he spun his ardor into high fashion today, it made a lot less sense, especially as the kids who are the prime components of his vision can already shop this look for zilch down the funky end of any L.A. boulevard.

It seems SLP pulled all their advertising on Style.com shortly after the review went live.
