Okay, we start with the head- he's working some kind of modern Cobain shag thing...which is probably the manliest of all the hair-do's in her whole show thing. Also, note that men who look like women (like 70's Bowie) are now in.
Now: HOLY CRAP SHOULDERS. Here's the old rule for shoulder pads: they must look at least slightly natural. You CANNOT have shoulder pad overhang- the sides of your arms are not mini-carports, they are limbs. No need for all that extra overhang. But, since it's "in" we can all rock 1980's shoulder pads with pride.
Onward: this dude appears to be sporting a 1960's style mod jacket and shirt that is decorated with whatever Ann was able to pull off of Michael Jackson's jackets from 1992...with a homeless twist. The homeless part comes in on the sleeves of the jacket, which, you will note...are too short. The sleeves of the shirt are, as you will note...too long, and the whole thing looks a little disheveled.
Now let's look at the pants: I'm fine with this until we get to the knee/calf area. It looks like these pants are made for normal people, and are scrunched up...in some kind of pretty-boy ghetto look...that or this is another homeless motif. I can't be sure. Either way...there is some kind of street vibe.
And the shoes- welcome back the dockworker look from 1894, people!
All in all, it seems, boys, if you can take all of the worst bits of previous fashions and throw them onto one outfit (preferably black and white) you too can be a total fashionista.
Does anyone else wonder if the fashion people are just playing a huge trick on us? It’s like some kind of game: "hey, what if I dress all my models in flapper dresses, combat boots, camouflage pants, and a shredded suit-jacket? Then, I'll give them a mohawk and write "monochromatic lust" on their foreheads in grease paint. Do you think people will buy this shit? Do you think they'll call me a genius in the reviews? I bet so. I bet you $20 million dollars.
