Menswear Fall 2009 Collections – The Good!
When did Raf Simons stop making giant Colombian guerilla capes and start making beautiful silk blend topcoats?
I love the burnt sienna of this Spurr jacket (I just remembered that I left a vintage jacket like this at my friend’s place 4 years ago! SHIT!) and the cut of the pants.
I feel like this comes straight out of Jamel Shabazz photograph:
Tim Hamilton does this interesting silhouette with a low knit (something I hate) and a sheer shirt (something else I hate). But it works.
I want this Yves Saint Laurent coat. The red detailing on the arms is very Helmut Lang and I really dig the single button. I also think it’s crazy sexy that he looks like a well-off Lower East Side mixed media artist but is probably a broke male model.
I think the silvery (sequined) socks are so lame but I do like the blazer. Is that cardboard tape stuck to his lapel or is that a design detail?
I change my mind. I kind of want to beat this guy up.
More to come!
