Are you ready to have a religious experience?
About two months ago I wrote a little Inception story called Kobayashi Maru. I like it, it's a good story. It doesn't make me want to go, "No, that wasn't me. You must be mistaken."
A day later I posted this wee thing called How to Dress Your Man/Character: An Informal Tutorial Heavy on the PicSpam.
One of the designers I made sure to mention in both the story and the post was Ozwald Boateng. I love his work. I love his use of color. I love the cut of his suits. And also, he is fucking hot. Like burning. Just saying.
At the time I made those two posts Ozwald was still preparing for London Fashion Week (Spring/Summer 2011), so his website wasn't up and running, but now that Fashion Week is over, the website is up: AND THE SHOW IS ON THE WEBSITE. ALL TWENTY MINUTES OF IT.
If you've been to a fashion show, you haven't been to one like this. And if you haven't been to a fashion show before, now's a good time to break the seal. Give him your virginity, you'll be better for it. Ozwald uses models, but he also uses men his scouts get off the street. You can tell the difference by the walks, by the tats, by the body types and expressions. And yet? Hotass abounds.
Also, he's got about 70 looks here, which is enormously impressive. I will admit upfront that the first set of looks were a bit meh to me (drop crotch trousers are NOT OKAY), but the second set, and the third set and the hats and the suits at the end had me stomping my feet and clapping my hands, because talent is talent. And this man? Is swimming in it. (There's a reason he's mates with Eames in my head. And in KM ;-)
So. If you are so inclined, take 20 minutes, have a look, realize there is so much more to menswear than just jeans from Wal-Mart and a tee shirt from the GAP. And men of the world, pleasepleaseplease, stop buying trousers and jeans that don't fit your lower half. Cause, really, with a little effort you could dress like this.
WATCH IT. I THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT
