I have a Yohji related question. I'm trying to bid on a YYPH piece on Yahoo, but my usual proxy in not available. Has anyone had any dealings with the Japanese proxy Sharpservice in the past week? Usually they are open 7 days a week, and generally respond quite promptly, but since Sunday I've been unable to get any reply out of them. Usually they are very good, but I don't want to miss the auction, so I'm wondering if anyone can suggest another reliable proxy service.
I have also been asked whether I practiced Judaism or was dressing up as Jesus by two separate people. Completely threw me for a loop and I still cannot figure out what they were talking about.
i've had Amish a few times, so maybe we're on to something!
I just recently received a copy of August Sander: Menschen Des 20. Jahrhunderts and looking at the pictures in there really evoke a specific feel that is really gone from modern times (and modern photos). I wonder whether that is more a function of the photography or the clothing or some combination of the two, but it is awesome seeing "Young Farmer" and seeing a young guy in a full suit made from very hard wearing fabric with an air of confidence about him. A young farmer nowadays would be in jeans a shirt or tshirt and that's it. The clothing and of course the lack of colour really give off a mood that Yohji totally captures with a lot of his clothing for sure. I wonder whether it is anachronistic to want to have more of that mood back or whether one should just look to the future and focus on the faster, more hyperactive lifestyle that seems to be thrust upon us. Rick and Boris Bidjan Saberi and so on. Edgy, aggressive and almost extroverted rather than the bucolic and contemplative shown in photos like August Sander's and the ones you just posted now. Of course there is room for both kinds of people, but I wonder whether one should embrace the spirit of the times instead of being like Yohji, turning ones back to the future while being carried forward.
Not sure whether I am expressing myself properly, but yeah...
Hey Guy, when can we see your AW09 Y's coat?
