Aug. 6th, 2009 11:30 amPS (PRE SCRIPT) I wrote the below right before the first wave of truly blinding headache pain hit. I wouldn't expect much content from me for the rest of the day so enjoy what you can....
There is not one single thing I do not love about this article on "good taste" in the fashion industry.
When I was prepping to do my first Ianto Jones Fashion Week post, I stumbled across a picture of Moschino's models backstage before a runway show, and the fact that someone was dressing their couture models in bowler hats made me (and Ianto) happy. I decided I liked the Moschino aesthetic, and that article is doing nothing to persuade me I was in error.
It doesn't hurt that everyone and their brother got all up on John Barrowman for wearing an Ed Hardy shirt to the CoE DVD signing, when my first reactions were:
1. That shirt has a rocking tiger on it.
2. Who's Ed Hardy and why does everyone hate him?
3. Did someone out there expect John Barrowman not to be glittery?
This whole "good taste doesn't exist" thing does mean I have to be nicer to John Galliano though. Shit.
(Actually this outfit is quite nice and not a little steampunky, but I'm not sure I approve of this revival of the casual waistcoat.)
Apropos of nothing except that it was referenced on the same blog, I believe we've uncovered Steampunk Booze. I'd buy a bottle, but I'm a steampunk fan on a wal-mart budget.
