Anyone who has the balls to end up on the “worst-dressed list” deserves major credit, and they all inspire me.
From Lady Gaga to Björk, over-the-top is never enough for me. Michael Jackson was wearing the most amazing Givenchy pieces toward the end of his life, and he was such an inspiration in them. Runway shows from artists like Viktor & Rolf, ( Read more... )

Epic picspam is epic! I actually agree with most of your choices, although I may have included more in the 'hot mess' category based on the hair. But I think I've been forced to admit that the boy just has unfortunate hair, really.

Hee, if I was doing this according to hair, it would have looked very different! I tried to concentrate on clothes alone, unless the hair was really fab or truly horrific! I think his hair is fine really, he just has no idea what to do with it. I like it best when he doesn't do all that much and lets it curl around his face, but it's his hair and he likes to experiment I guess. :/ Which ones would you have put in the hot mess, am curious? Because it took me ages to decide on some of these, and I kept changing my mind!

Um, maybe 15 in the first set, and 5 and 12 in the second? That's mostly based on hair, though. I also love it loose and curly (especially in my icon), but I get that he likes messing around with it, fabulous as he is!

Hee, I am strangely fond of 15, as crazy as it is. 5 I hate with a passion, but I tried to use a pic that hides how horrific it really is and the green won me over. Yes, his hair is pure perfection in your icon, I mean his hair can never reach Stephane levels of fabulousness, but I hope he tires of the mullet eventually...

He looks a bit like Chloe Sevigny in your least favourite outfit pic...

Anyway, I don't know the first thing about JW but I enjoyed this! I agree, it does take a lot of courage to just wear what you want and wear it with pride.

Haha, I can see that and it is a little disturbing! She does the same severe forehead/hair slicked back thing. I don't understand why people do such things to themselves.

Aren't his clothes just fun? What I love most about them is that they are all his own clothes and he rewears some of them a lot, and each piece is clearly special to him.

Also, I was so surprised and happy to see that Misfits won a BAFTA for drama series! I hope this means they make lots more if it.

Yay for Misfits :D

(His hair is a whole different issue)
SO TRUE. /o\

The giant hat will never not make me grin, it's that amazing.

I'm not fond of all of these outfits, but oh, I really like the party hat shot. And the clothes he's wearing with those pink sunglasses!

I don't need to justify this one, do I?
INDEED YOU DO NOT.

and most of all the silver star top
It's a really nifty top!!

but I think that the jacket is the definition of fab
The jacket is sublime, haters to the left!

I'll have to ponder about my favorite outfits.

It really pains me, because it has potential to look good and then it... doesn't.

I have to admit that a lot of these outfits grew on me with repeat viewing.

And the clothes he's wearing with those pink sunglasses!
Yes, that jacket is the most interesting and flattering one, a lot of the other ones makes him look boxy. Do you really not like any of the rest though? :(

Hee, indeed! I am really sad, because I can't find a way of seeing the Christian Siriano interview, where he probably talks about his outfit, I want to know who the designer is. (Oh! you know such things. I know there is a way to block my ip address so I can access US only vids, but I can't remember how. Help?)

And least favourite too, if you can narrow it down! :D

Right? I can't understand why he gets it wrong so many, many times.

I definitely started appreciated a few of them more after prolonged exposure.

Do you really not like any of the rest though? :(
Let me see. Clothes wise, I also like this (jacket! ♥), and he works this one pretty well too. I wish both of these had featured a shirt/top of some kind. And this color combination is pretty surprising, in a good way.

(Oh! you know such things. I know there is a way to block my ip address so I can access US only vids, but I can't remember how. Help?)
Oh man, what was the trick again...this maybe? (this worked best in IE, at least for me, I believe). Oh, and I was able to access that interview without issues: Johnny wanted 'lady-chic, with a giant bow', the jacket is Elise Overland, the rest of the outfit is Viktor & Rolf. I couldn't hear the shoes designer, cause Christian talked ( ... )

What I don't understand is how he thinks it looks amazing, though to be fair it tends to look better in motion than in stills.

I agree with your choices, and am with you on the shirt situation, though for some reason I think it works in the GLAAD awards, because the jacket is interesting enough so it doesn't look like he spilled something on his shirt and was forced to take it off.

Thanks, that looks really complicated, but I will try to make it work, as also want to see Evan's when I was 17 ep. (It is terrible what fandom has done to me, as my first thought was truly: fuck you MTV for cockblocking me.) He is a huge V&R fan, in that other interview, I love how he says it was Alice in Wonderland themed, because I can totally see it.

I will have to browse through my Johnny image folder!
Hee, that is a hardship indeed.

Dude, you are officially amazing, I agree with you on all points. My knowledge of fashion is pretty much zilch, but what I love most about Johnny is how he really does just go for it. (I think I do like his casual outfits most, though; he just looks so charming and relaxed!)

Hee, thank you! :D My opinion is so at odds with the majority of fandom, but I had fin doing this.

I agree, he really does, as does his hair, which is a very good thing!

If there is any interest in it, I will do casual clothes as well

I would be interested in any and all fashion picspams and commentary! I love this stuff. I enjoy a lot of what he wears and even when I don't I do love his commitment to personal style.

The Good:

I really really love this outfit. There's something about how it makes the shape of his body look that I really like.

This is my favorite hair/headband combo! I love all the sparkly headbands (and covet them all!) but they look best when his hair is down a bit.

And this is my favorite jacket. Vintage YSL sequined jacket - why are you not in my closet??

This picture from that rooftop party is one of my very favorite Johnny pictures. It has so many things I wouldn't normally like, but it all comes together to make him look ridiculously hot.

I'm never sure if I love this outfit, out if I just love how HAPPY he looks wearing it. <3

Though I think this may be my very favorite Johnny outfit. I'm a sucker for a guy in a cardigan. The one from the cuties red carpet is also ( ... )

That's good to know, because I will probably end up doing it!

I completely agree with all your points! As for the GLAAD awards outfit, I feel like that too, he is so happy and shiny there that it makes it impossible for me to dislike what he is wearing.

I wonder sometimes if CDG gave a bunch of figure skaters clothing at some point.
I've wondered that too, because I've seen Stephane wearing some, but I think I like the joined shopping trip idea a lot more! I can imagine shopping with Stephane would be equal parts awesome fun and exasperating! I love that they all love shopping and talk about it, though it bothers me how it is the first thing everyone asks Johnny about, and no one ever asks Evan, who is not any less into his designers. I guess it's because you can't tell by looking at him...

Skintight faded denim leggings are not a good look on anyone!
No, they really really aren't. :/

And I would like to add the outfit he wore on the George Lopez show (the ( ... )

As much as I love the idea of Johnny shopping, I too hate that everyone always asks him about it. But now I'm think about poor Evan sitting around wondering why no one invites him to go shopping with them or asks about what he's wearing. :( :( He spends a lot of time on his clothes, ok, and these collars don't pop themselves!

I don't have any good pictures of the jacket from the GL show either. It's ok, in my heart I know it's in the hot mess section. :) (though it's another outfit where he's so happy that I almost don't care that it's a hot mess!)

Heeeee! Oh that is such a hilarious and awesome image, oh Evan and his collars. I love him :DD They should invite him to be a judge on Project Runway. Johnny would actually kill him then.

It is a shame, that jacket is quite special. But yeah, his got to ride a yak, his happiness outshines his clothes in this case.
