It looks like a 50s creation, or maybe something from an even earlier hep cat, Zoot suit age: the sort of tie Cab Calloway might have worn when young. In fact it’s the work of a hugely admired designer for men and women who debuted in his home country in the late 70s and worldwide the following decade. He acquired a name for exceptionally well wrought avant-garde boldness and a look that was as dramatic as it was uncompromising. Strictly for the fashionistas back then. I could no more wear his clothes than I could dance for the Royal Ballet. Our anonymous (for the time being) hero has designed for operas and movies, had a @vamuseum show dedicated to him, and been enthusiastically collected and worn by such distinguished names as @eltonjohn, Pina Bausch, @tinaturner and the great conductor/pianist @dbarenboim. Mr X’s latest venture is an all black watch for @hublot called the Big Bang, though at well north of twenty thousand poundingtons it might better be called the Big Bucks. All black is very much a signature look for this man. So much so that he was a natural choice to design the New Zealand @allblacks jerseys for last year’s Rugby World Cup. His name is … have you deciphered it yet? One more chance. Don’t glance down… He is … that Japanese master of line and form, the acknowledged poet of sharply tailored deconstruction – Yohji Yamamoto. His collaborations have been remarkable, with Adidas at one end at Hermès at other. He even redesigned the classic Doc Marten boot. In the 2000s male and female models had worn the originals on his runway, so it seemed fitting for him to add his own flash of nonconformist style to that great British staple. As for this addition to the #fryties collection … well it’s a jazzy snazzy dude that seems to demand untipped cigarettes and Brylcreemed hair: zoweee, tsssss, hot-diggedy, pow!」6月8日 12時55分
