Cat Bourbon goes in wisdom come out vintage shirt So it was written on the Cat Bourbon goes in wisdom come out vintage shirt but in fact I love this tank-tee that will surely be the most ’gram garm of this collection. And while Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo admitted that, sometimes, the pressures of trying to force their now five-year-old brand through the ranks of Milan hopefuls to become safely established makes them feel that way, they created the opposite reaction in their audience. The address, way out of town to the East, boded ill but turned out to be that of the loveliest venue so far this Milan. We were beneath a long stretch of the Tangenziale (ring-road) freeway that encircles the city. Alongside us ran the river Lambro, all dappled green and cool reflection, from which dragonflies came to explore this unlikely addition to their ecosystem. Messina and Rizzo had come to a party here a year ago and became so taken by the place that they negotiated with the authorities and local neighborhood to make it a free open-air gallery, curated by them, which opened today. Through the section of hitherto unused urban space given a refreshing lick of white paint over a 4,000 square meter area, this Sunni collection ran from white to black through a comprehensive spectrum of brand expression. Not in specific detail, more in mood, it sparked memories of pre-Francesco Risso Marni for both men and women. The height of the women’s platforms, the laundry-bag enormity of the fringe-decorated totes, and the simultaneous evolution and performative delineation through zig-zag placket topstitching on men’s workwear were all acutely thought through and finely actualized. What it feels like to wear is another matter entirely, but the knit effect nylon used for thumbless mitten-like bags, bigger drawstring sacks, men’s tank tops, and women’s looks that connected sweater and skirt with a buttoned bridge layer at the waist looked both slightly wrong and rather right simultaneously. More on why California in a minute, but what did that uninterrupted view of the clothes tell us? That Vaccarello, who barely tackled menswear prior to arriving at Saint Laurent, save for his brief stint at Versus, is a quick study. This was a strong and assured outing from him, connecting to some of that YSL legend of old, but also with his own unerring sense of what a young guy might actually want to wear today At any rate, in microeconomics, when we are talking about an individual or a firm, spending is the depletion of the firm’s or individual’s wealth. In the macroeconomy, spending is just the transfer of ownership of money and does not represent a depletion of wealth. Buy this shirt:  Cat Bourbon goes in wisdom come out vintage shirt V is for Valentine video games t-shirt Tom Ford was the V is for Valentine video games t-shirt but in fact I love this catalyst that kick-started the direction fashion has taken this millennium. Sure, Hedi Slimane was there on backing vocals, and Martin Margiela was already delivering his now also much-imitated woo-woo riffs of genius. But it was Ford at Gucci who birthed the exemplar bass line that fashion has danced to ever since. His was the first spiffing up of a tired old house into something fabulous, glamorous, and highly profitable that so many have followed (with various levels of success) since. For good or ill it was his eye that created the context of today’s weird fashion Tinder-world in which creative directors and houses restlessly swipe this way and that in search of a moneymaking match. That preamble is to emphasize the fact that when Tom Ford speaks, you cup your hand to your ear and listen, hard. For he is a seer. Of late, the guru has mostly kept his own counsel. He has seemed focused on family, films, his saucily monikered fragrance brands, and preparing to do for the CFDA what he once did for Gucci. Thus a visit to Ford’s showroom this afternoon brought no especial presentiment of the gravity-tilting revelation ahead. At first, all seemed as usual. The thick cream shag pile carpet muffled the breathy coos of buyers as his 2020 collection was appreciatively fingered through. There were great suits, and lots of them—razor-cut black or white with monochrome exotic accents and sexy rock-star boots. There were some powerfully shouldered jacquard jackets in radioactively fuchsia leopard and zebra. There were some great fitted perforated leather jackets and matching slim-fit cargo pants in cream. It was all hot-to-trot stuff, but it was all pretty typical, until shut the front door! there were the yoga pants. That, at least, is what the swirly patterned, marble-ish and vaguely camo skintight leggings, worn with strappy flat sandals and some fine luxe-technical bombers, most resembled at first glimpse. It was hard to tell precisely, however, because in Casa Ford the lookbook images are shown on a flat-screen gallery that rotates every half second or so, like a too-fast departure-lounge board. Keynes has been grossly misrepresented repeatedly by those who imply that he was in favor of spending that would decrease overall wealth production in an economy. This is completely false.

For the fourth installment of TommyXLewis, the duo decided it was time to bring it home, so to speak, back to London where Hamilton is from. A few days before the event, the stakes were raised once again with a surprise announcement: the new collection would include a three-way partnership with Gabriella Wilson, the Grammy-winning R&B singer known as H.E.R. With Naomi Campbell leading the charge, the show at the Tate Modern tonight started on a resounding high note. Even in her downtime, the supermodel isn’t known to wear anything vaguely athletic, though she appeared surprisingly at ease in the brand’s new highlighter yellow and gray tracksuit, working her trademark strut in chunky high-top sneakers. Campbell wasn’t the only famous face in the lineup. There were a number of impressive cross-generational cameos: ’90s favorites Jodie Kidd, Yasmin Le Bon, and Erin O’Connor all walked the runway, as did newcomers such as Halima Aden and Lottie Moss, sister of Kate. In a week that has been sorely lacking in shape and age diversity, the casting was a refreshing change. Since switching gears to fashion, Hamilton has developed a number of personal signatures: Formula One driver has the word “loyalty” tattooed on his forearm and it appeared in bold letters on hoodies and splatter print tees. He doesn’t shy away from the idea of logos, in fact some were specifically designed to glow under the black lights of the club. Fans of Wilson would be able to spot her imprint on the collection from a mile away, too. Lyrics from her hit single “Hard Place” were written across a fluorescent jumpsuit: “My heart or you, I’m gonna lose.” One of the standout pieces in the lineup, it was a true reflection of Wilson’s onstage look. Like Eilish, H.E.R. is among a generation of young musicians who are rewriting the hyper-feminine rules of performance style with a cooler, looser sense of swagger. I believe that this concept becomes most clear when we realize that income and net production of wealth are indeed independent variables. It is using that model that we can understand how “spending” does not get subtracted off of wealth, because the two things are not accounted for on the same axis. And further, rather than being subtracted off wealth, at less than full employment, spending normally, on the average does lead to production of more wealth, not less wealth. Buy this shirt:  Tom Brady LIV Super Bowl Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt The Dadditude ERA shirt Decoration as dissembling is a puritan notion, yet there is also a power in restraint, and apart from a few sparse brand graphics and a building print tee, this was indeed a collection uncluttered by surface chatter. This left you free to consider the The Dadditude ERA shirt also I will do this handsome aspect of Taverniti’s roomy raw-denim work jackets and jeans, and cotton drill pants cut extra-high at the waist. He went high, but he also went low, with what looked like treated silky nylon patched square-cut drop-crotch pants in white. Double-lapel-detail deconstructed suits in washed denim or a silky black viscose were pretty cool too. Taverniti is trying to extend himself beyond the streetwear milieu with which he is associated by divesting his clothes of any contemporary decorative clutter: The silhouettes left standing looked good. What lurks in the dark? What sinister instincts lie dormant, waiting to arise? Where does the capacity for masculine moral villainy begin? If you are a man, you know. I loved this on-the-face-of-it dull Undercover offering because it asked questions of the masculine state we now jazz-hand away with fake rhetoric. It was a collection that interrogated a man’s private knowledge of his worst but most vital instincts his knowledge of himself expressed while dressed as a devil, beautifully. More significant than the Nosferatu silhouettes at the front, or the plentiful Cindy Sherman reproductions at the back, where the spider’s web pleating in the middle of this collection. Trapped by our own urges, it reflected the Dylan Thomas quote on the invitation: “I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me.” To his credit, designer Jun Takahashi said post-show that these violent urges were something he recognized in himself. His rejection of the easy tropes of streetwear for the polished affectation of sartorialism spoke volumes. The clothes were just souvenirs, really, but important ones. Relics of age of masculine devilment that should no longer hold terror or sway. Move on, move up. He also realized that “not spending” would keep from occurring, all of that economic activity that would otherwise result from spending. “Not spending” would prevent from being promoted all of that economic activity that would be creating new wealth and preserving already existing wealth. Keynes realized that not only would “not spending” prevent the production of new wealth, but would also lead to the decay and loss of much our economic infrastructure, further reducing overall wealth. Buy this shirt:  The Dadditude ERA shirt Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Pirate boat shirt Another lavishly classical Versace touch was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Pirate boat shirt in contrast I will get this amphora prints and Lurex knits. Printed vintage Versace fragrance ads on t-shirts and denim were yet another archival flourish. There was a fun, provocative sensuality in the slightly kicky jersey pants worn below tailoring which came in black or leopard print and floral versions in vertical rib-knit, and a carefully thought through and Flint-inflected riff on post-punk in workwear pieces that smashed check against denim. The complementary women’s looks mostly legs-to-there Versace standard mind-melters added extra turbo boost to this high energy Versace outing. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” the Pink Floyd track from the Wish You Were Here album, surged, volume up, as Pierpaolo Piccioli ran out to take his bow after his Spring 2020 Valentino menswear show. Completely apt Piccioli really is fashion’s crazy diamond, an authentic modern-day hippie who follows his own instincts, whether they’re deemed fashionable or not, and has thereby charmed and swept everyone along on his trips to wherever. This time, it was to a place in his own head via the psychedelic porthole opened by ’70s prog-rock: “A fantastic journey into yourself, where you can find fantastic landscapes, and you don’t have boundaries,” he said. “When I was a kid, I was there, far from everything, and I want to keep that feeling when creating a collection because then you don’t limit your imagination.” There was a time when suburban boys in bedrooms everywhere would put their prog-rock albums on their record players and stare for hours at the album art, reading the meaning. That was Piccioli, for sure. One of the major delights at this grown-up successful stage of his life is that he can now not just meet his teenage heroes, but collaborate with them. This time he found Roger Dean, album cover artist of the ’70s, and asked him to make a comeback version of his airbrushed acid–sci-fi–impossible landscapes for this collection. Spending and wealth are certainly related and interact but they are still independent variables. They must be accounted for with a model with two degrees of freedom. I believe that all sorts of misunderstandings of macroeconomics have resulted from the attempt to combine wealth and income so that they are one variable with one degree of freedom. I am saying, that in order to describe the economy as it really is, we must have a model where income and wealth are accounted for by two variables, not one. Buy this shirt:  Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Pirate boat shirt Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt A scary character walking in with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt What’s more,I will buy this “police” was wearing a shirt, a tie stamped with a Global Mind Fuck logo, a conference sticker reading “Hello I am Capitalism,” and a MAGA cap. Wait, no, a red baseball cap with For Rent embroidered on it. Rent? Large For Rent signs appeared on the backs of jackets, too. What did that signify? All the things you can imagine when you see it, about the desperation of a generation willing to do anything to get paid or the hollowed-out husks of men with no moral scruples about moving capital around. Along the way, the root of all evil itself popped up, too, stamped on T-shirts in the form of dollar bills with redesigned text that read: “I Am the Piece of Paper That Controls Your Entire Life.” Gvasalia had explained earlier that the uniforms were based on Russian police wear. “I love uniforms. We wanted to design a Vetements uniform and kind of try to meme it into fashion.” Well, is mimicking the guises of a system with a few savage twists and puns a way of getting under its skin? Gvasalia remembers turning up at an event as a student, “something I knew [I] had no real hope of getting into,” but he was wearing a piece of a secondhand uniform, and found people stepping aside to wave him in. “Because they assumed I was a security guard.” That’s amusing. But can Gvasalia have it both ways: participating in the novelty-driven production cycle of the fashion industry, while criticizing it? At the beginning of Vetements, the idea of using the preexisting led to recycling jeans, cutting pieces from many sources into one. That’s still going on at Vetements, by the look of it. Plus the mounded-up print collaged dresses another Gvasalia signature really are made from leftover Vetements fabrics. The For Rent signs, he said, also posed the question about ownership of clothes “in the future.” Well, that’s already happening out there. How meta would it be if Vetements fans end up renting Vetements For Hire clothes? He wasn’t making any claims to be completely committing to the circular economy. Yet. But surely that will come for Vetements and everyone a change forced on brands by youthful followers who increasingly choose to place their dollars with ethical operators. Looking at this I realized that spending does not directly cause a change in the level of wealth. It is only the net production of wealth that affects the level of wealth. And even though spending and the economic activity it promotes can lead to the production of wealth, a given amount of spending and income does not absolutely or uniquely determine the amount of net production that occurs.

Today, the covered-yet-open-air terrace of a Sorbonne University building was a game-changer; what a difference a breeze makes! The models didn’t need to be trail running or BMX biking two of the extreme sports that inspired Yosuke Aizawa this season for the audience to imagine guys wearing his high-impact looks off the runway. The Tokyo-based designer explained that he imbues pieces with a “discord ambiance,” which might mean anything from a T-shirt boasting overlaid letters spelling nothing to Gore-Tex outerwear paired with linen pants. These “coincidences,” as he also called them, were a way of integrating pieces that wouldn’t normally be found in either athletic attire or streetwear think classic shirting adapted with technical straps and pleated shorts that looked more like skorts. Aizawa goes through phases of favoring bold prints, and today’s lush and color-saturated botanicals might have been his boldest yet. If common sense would suggest these have limited interest, the designer has pointed out before that people are very happy to experiment beyond black (although those pieces too were hardly boring). Plaid, animal spots, paisley, and painterly camo made for a particularly dynamic lineup of active eccentrics guys who not only sported next-level sneaker designs, but also a smear of colorful eye makeup. Compared to the Sacai show earlier in the day, White Mountaineering isn’t perceived with the same cachet despite many overlapping elements (both mastered their soundtracks, it should be said). Make no mistake, Aizawa’s vision is his own and if athleisure trends start to shift towards these dandy-ish mash-ups, we’ll have him to thank. Walter Van Beirendonck called the clothes in this showing of kinky sportswear deluxe “Alien Vintage” and said that the collection was designed to attire his fantasy community of extraterrestrials. As he mused in his notes: “I pictured being introduced to a small part of the alien folk, a community with such a limitless diversity of forms and looks.” Those forms included four-armed biped, as evinced by outfits with two extra sleeves below the armpit, and aliens with fearsomely hunky quads as per the cool gathered baggy pants in primary-color nylon.

Which leads, at last, to the Super Bowl Champions Kansas City Chiefs we’re family t-shirt and I will buy this collection. Once you looked beyond the crowd-pleasing Mad Max: Fury Road cosplay and the cool-looking band (named The Entire Universe) with a Plein-flavored Stevie Nicks-alike (from a distance) on the back of a flatbed (their attire gave me weird Plein-does-Slimane vibes), the clothes that unfolded around the cacophony of background noise represented a development. Plein has shifted his focus from hip hop, his first love, to rock. There was clearly a deal struck with Kiss, whose angled logo featured on the boob- and butt-covering patches on sheer minidresses for women and a plethora of biker jackets for men. There were considerably more women’s looks here than menswear, and following the recruitment of a new design team—they represented a tangible advance. Plein might not need to acquire Cavalli to become Roberto’s true inheritor of blingy animalist and totally unsubtle sexy-sexy dressing he can just do it himself. The menswear was a rocky remix of Plein tropes enlivened by mismatched studded sneakers and some pretty sleekly cut Animalia bikers made cheesy yet still compelling in their cheesiness by fluoro color flashes against the predominant black. By the time the designer emerged, air-playing a flamethrower with a guitar attached, we were only an hour after the start time. As Ice Cube once put it: “I can’t believe today was a good day.” Jewelry was extremely important. Status was often portrayed through the style of jewelry one wore. Ancient Egyptian women believed jewelry made them appear more appealing to the gods so even the poor women in the Egyptian society adorned themselves with as many jewels as they could. They often wore bracelets, necklaces, rings, fanciful buttons, earrings, neck collars, and pendants. The higher class a person was, the more gold and precious gems they would use in the making of the jewelry. The most common gems were Turquoise – a greenish-blue gem, Lapiz-lazuli – a brilliantly bright blue gem, and Carnelian – a smooth reddish-brown stone. The lower class would still decorate in lots of bulky jewelry, although they used pottery beads or glassware for decoration rather than gems.

It would have been so dreamy to be able to hang around for the whole enchilada that promised via repeat performance and barbecue to be a fun evening. Held on the roof of a garage in the 9th arrondissement, the sun was still high and bright. In every direction but for the south around us was spread the infinite patchwork of Paris’s panorama. What blocked the southern aspect was a photographed replica of the view beyond, upon which was printed with the view, with the insertion of some new futuristic buildings two new towers by the Eiffel with alien ergonomic windows and walkways. Slightly to the east, the Pompidou had somehow been tripled in size. In front of the backdrop was a floor of boulder-strewn sand. When the rehearsal started, orchestrated by Stéphane Ashpool with an already-sunburned neck, we saw a sort of future-pagan tribe in flowing white and metallic raiments emerge. Behind started up the most awesome music urgent, mystic, blissed-out future jazz overseen by Kamaal Williams (with Alina Bzhezhinska on harp, Rick Leon James on bass, and Nathaniel Fuller on percussion). The first looks mixed patched robes with drawstring-shirred parkas and loose green organza pants that flapped like prayer flags in the breeze in a sort of Sun-Ra-meets-Logan’s-Run-meets-Buck-Rogers vibe. Then a group of dancers in powerfully colored double-faced pajama suits emerged and made patterns with movement around the first looks before a maypole ritual with strips of fabric. Next up were some looks by Ashpool proteges Theo Each-Cheikh and Yacine Keita, whom he has long mentored and now given creation space in his atelier. Finally were three Pigalle x Nike looks complete with Jumpmans and Jordans applied as a final flourish in a show interrupted only by a handsome dog that wandered onto the runway halfway through before being tenderly ejected by the designer. At the age of six, women start to wear clothes. Status was important in ancient Egypt. The higher the position, the thinner the material. Unlike men, women wore more conservative clothes. They wore full-length, straight dresses with one or two shoulder straps, with very little sewing, if any. These dresses, depending on the period, would lie below the breast, but most often covered the chest. Buy this shirt:  Super Bowl Champions 2021 I am a Chiefs Fan now and forever shirt Sloth Valentine slothmates forever shirt The girlishness and sweetness of those paillette scarves and embroidered shirts were replaced with an almost erotic purity the Sloth Valentine slothmates forever shirt Also,I will get this idea of fetishizing a thing as perfect as it is, unadorned in a simple cotton or loose leather. The clothes were essentials in the most classic sense of menswear twills, tweeds, shirting, sportswear, khaki but oversize or misplaced in their proportion to reveal, say, a bare collarbone in a baby dollish tank, or to accentuate the strangeness of wearing a cropped jacket over a blazer in the same material. Together the looks comprised all the musts of a traditional male wardrobe, recut with the freewheeling spirit of boyhood. But a Prada show is never one-note. The stated reason for this Shanghai show was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Milan being named a sister city of the Chinese cosmopolis. The reality is that business in China is booming. Over two days of touring the city’s hubs, it was impossible to miss a Prada store or billboard. In reviving its Linea Rossa business, the company has struck gold with a younger, more streetwear-inclined consumer. Perhaps that’s what gave birth to a series of prints of antiquated technology. A roll of film here, a cassette tape there, a ‘50s soda-pop joint milkshake later on all of these pieces appeared as a single graphic or as a grid of many on trendy nylon. As the models walked past an audience clad in last season’s Frankenstein-patterned pieces, you could see the commercial appeal. To be sinister, or sales-minded, though, is not the larger message. Zoom all the way out like, decades of menswear out and this collection could read as a pivotal moment for Prada. For a long time, its menswear shows were about medium-rise straight pant, a button-up polo shirt, and a loose anorak. Where did it go? I look around me quickly, pretty sure I look like a witch at the moment with my crazy mess of a hair. And I spotted it, laying there on the ground underneath the shoes of the merciless, hungry girls. I rushed to take it and looked at it to see that it’s covered with shoe marks all over. I may have survived the battle but it didn’t.. But given the mess that my hair was, I had to put that filthy piece of fabric on my head and withdraw to at least enjoy this piece of pizza… and think of a better way to get breakfast the next day. Buy this shirt:  Sloth Valentine slothmates forever shirt Patrick boat LIV we’re coming home Super Bowl LV Buccaneers shirt But speaking of America, there was something that distracted from all of the Patrick boat LIV we’re coming home Super Bowl LV Buccaneers shirt in other words I will buy this positive and hopeful photographs that Li and Qu spoke about yesterday. Placed on a pedestal table in the middle of the gallery space, as those happy families looked on, were two of Private Policy’s “gun bags”: little clip-on bags that resembled gun holsters. Considering that Asian Americans—and all Americans—are in the midst of a gun-control crisis and a spike in mass shootings, the design, however accidental, was ill-advised. The young designers are still sorting out their place and position in the fashion industry, and they’d be wise to make absolutely sure that their inspiring message is consistent across the board. Li and Qu have great potential, and as long as they keep their social and cultural activism running on one seamless track, they’ll make a big impact. The new menswear director at Pringle of Scotland, Giuseppe Marretta, joined the house of argyle following a five-year stretch as head of design, knit, and jersey (womenswear) at Giorgio Armani. Speaking at the company’s presentation in Paris, Marretta said: “The first thing that I had in mind when I was designing this collection was to bring some fun to menswear. When things are too serious, it’s boring…so I wanted to bring fun though color and through revisiting British culture through my Italian eyes, and to work via an incredible inspiration as David Hockney is, both as an icon of style and an artist.” Hockney has many fans in fashion Michael Kors, Christopher Bailey at Burberry, Jacquemus, JW Anderson, Fendi, Olympia Le-Tan, Paul Smith, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, Ellery, and John Galliano are just a few labels that have also used his verve and art as inspiration for collections. And in September 2008 Clare Waight Keller dedicated a collection of womenswear to a bigger splash for no lesser house than Pringle of Scotland. I still remember it as clear as day. I had to dive right into battle if I wanted to find something to eat. Even if it meant having people’s filthy hands rubbing all over my body. I was starving. Hunger makes you take risks. So I jumped right into it. I ran towards the mass of girls twisting their hands to reach the window. I shoved my body forcefully into the tight spaces between them, plugging my nose to avoid the stench spreading from all these raised arms. But I had to keep going !! I had to eat. Buy this shirt:  Patrick boat LIV we’re coming home Super Bowl LV Buccaneers shirt My VP looks like me women african American black girl shirt Sometimes, watching a Simons show can feel like sitting an exam or trying to crack a cryptic crossword. His work is exclusionary to the My VP looks like me women african American black girl shirt also I will do this extent that you need to be a qualified Raf-ologist to understand what it means. This time, he refused to speak after the show to give any gloss on his meaning and layered references. Maybe he didn’t trust himself to answer questions about why the set was populated with standard office chairs, bound in black plastic tape. Or to add anything to what could be read, partially or wholly, in his textual graphics. Was one recurring motif. And on the back necks of many garments: “My Own Private Antwerp.” To be fair, it wasn’t a question of Simons lobbing criticism of Trump’s America from afar, now that he’s living back in Belgium. He’d been critical enough about the political atmosphere of Trump’s America while he was working at Calvin Klein, what with his American Psycho and other horror movie thematics. Now, though, after a couple of seasons when he’d diverted his energies into exploring a certain European elegance in his own collection, his raw anger against the power of corporate USA was back with a vengeance. His boys seemed to belong to some underground crew maybe the last surviving boys on Earth, possibly the victims or maybe the perpetrators of some toxic social endgame. There were more text labels reading “RS-LAB,” which explained the lab coats, but why the hospital gowns? Why boxer shorts and padded gloves that looked as if they might be made for handling radioactive chemicals? Styling and heavy meaning apart and this might sound frivolous, considering—it was also a plumb-center commercial collection for all of Raf Simons’s fans, of whatever age. The arty, painted T-shirts, the leather coats, the colorful baggy sweatshirts and overshirts. Whatever post-American psychological fallout is going on in Simons’s life, it hasn’t affected his ability to serve his faithful audience. Maybe it’s improved it. As much as the Duchess recycles her outfits, for special evenings, Catherine splurges on a new gown made to fit her. She wouldn’t want to be at a banquet and see another woman wearing the same exact dress, so she is wearing a gown made just for her. Knock-offs might be made afterwards, but nothing will equal what she wore on that night, when the tiaras gleamed and everyone wore their best. Buy this shirt:  My VP looks like me women african American black girl shirt Muppet Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs frog funny shirt Purple Label is Ralph Lauren’s jewel in the Muppet Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs frog funny shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this crown, a cultivated exercise in fine tailoring, where a quintessential sense of ease is infused with sophisticated polish. A palette of soft tonal colors, a slightly vintage insouciance, a fluidity of fit and balance of proportions come to mind when thinking of Purple Label’s signature aesthetic. Yet at today’s presentation at the label’s sumptuous Milanese headquarters, what stood out was a gorgeous, visually compelling lineup of brightly colored evening suits in shades of saturated yellow, fuchsia, and orange. Slim fitting and sharply cut in silk shantung, they looked exceptional, pointing towards an updated approach, with a zest of chic playfulness: “They’re tailored with a lighter construction, but still maintaining sartorial proportions,” said John Wrazej, executive vice president and creative director of men’s design. “They’re all handmade; it’s our uncompromising way of tailoring. They’re probably among the best suits you can find.” The collection also played on sophistication in the daywear offer, with tailoring in proprietary soft-toned wool-gabardine exuding a luxurious yet relaxed feel. An interesting alternative for summer evenings was a single-breasted cashmere blazer in a dense, sensual tobacco shade; paired with cream-colored fluid pants, “it’d look beautiful with a tan,” suggested Wrazej. A sporty allure featured prominently in a series of knitted intarsia sweaters and polo shirts with marine-inspired motifs, while nautical references were in evidence in officer’s jackets, wide-leg pants, and striped sweaters. But the most innovative aspect the collection were the RLX technical performance fabrics used for roomy, well-cut waterproof parkas and sailing jackets. “It’s nylon, a polyester yarn made using recycled plastic bottles,” explained Wrazej. ”It’s completely high-performance. The company is taking a strong stand towards going sustainable. For Fall we’ll have a lot more sustainable fabrics; probably 80 percent of our nylons and insulations will be made with sustainable yarns,” he continued. “The issue is front and center across the company, with very strict guidelines that over the next four or five years we’ll be shifting the label towards a much more environmentally conscious approach, even in manufacturing.” From that initial exciting experience it was not very long where I again felt the irresistible urge to try on my sister’s panties and a slip. Following a second experience I knew within myself that I would not be able to resist the temptation to try on panties and a slip again. My life from that point would include dressing up in panties and a slip whenever the opportunity presented, and when I experimented with a bra I then wanted to try on a skirt, stockings and then a dress. My sister had the most gorgeous assortment of very pretty panties and slips which was so enticing.

Titled Tecuatl after his maternal grandmother’s maiden name—Owens’s mother hails from Puebla and is of Mixtec heritage—this collection was the Chess Pieces Silhouette Tshirts in contrast I will get this first time he has used his work as a lens through which to explore his south-of-the-border roots. As he said at the top, however, Owens’s relationship with those roots is abstract—and that abstraction was reflected in the collection. One prosaic reason for this is he only revisited his mother’s homeland this year, for the first time in 30. Another is that—just as in the last-season cycle of awesome Larry Legaspi shows—his themes are, ultimately, just one of the raw materials in a creative clay that is every season shaped by his design and in his own image.  Silhouettes were full, and the assembly of pieces used to achieve them what the designer called a “potpourri” was eclectically and raffishly combined. “What I really wanted to express was the free soul of the artist, and how he creates his own elegance,” said Curradi backstage. “There were elements mixed from the ’90s, the ’80s, and the ’40s.” The result was a collection that did all the hard work in conjuring an aura of insouciant panache so its wearers won’t have to. Salut! This is why the several tons of damp clay taken from the L.A. studio of British artist Thomas Houseago who has a statue currently installed in the center of the Palais de Tokyo courtyard as part of his “Almost Human” show at the Musee de l’Art Moderne made for such a fitting addition to this show’s mise-en-scène. Houseago, Owens reported, had been on set to oversee the installation of the clay and even ended up creating a small sculpture (one that Owens fully intended to pinch, fire, and add to his collection). Since hitting commercial success with pop-worthy printed camp shirts, Mrs. P has dared to design well beyond her menswear signatures, producing short-shorts and tightly belted blazers, and now loose tanks and shorts with zippers up the side seam. It’s a real treat to see her explore proportion and intention in menswear with the same pointedness she brings to her women’s shows. No wonder the guests in Shanghai went wild. By the way, on the wealth axis, increasing the money supply can reduce other money’s buying power, but only if that newly created money got into a position where it is actively being used for direct spending of goods services, labor and other desired outcome….. and only if the amount of things sold increased at a rate slower that the rate of increase in spending.

Some models wore cast metal rivets, or carried hatches and axes also cast in metal: It was unclear whether these “accessories” would be sold too. What does seem likely, however, is that if you purchase a pair of black Sterling Ruby blurry twig-print yoga pants (they were worn under a long, color-patched hand-knit cardigan), you might be making a fashion investment that truly accrues. When asked about the difference between making fashion and the production of art, Ruby said: “In many respects, outside of the logistics of putting together the collection and the garments in the kind of production of it I don’t see it as any different to making a sculpture or painting.” He added of making objects that are worn: “I kinda find that more rewarding. Not that I mind if somebody has a painting and hangs it on the wall, but it is fun to think of something going out into the world, and moving, and being something for people to see.” And will this be an every-season thing? “I think 15 minutes ago I may not have been able to say yes or no, but now…yes! It might not be seasonal, but I will do it again.” America’s most interesting new fashion designer is also one of its most prolific and successful contemporary artists. We were privileged to see those two worlds meet in a manger in Florence tonight. The experimentation doesn’t stop there. For the first time in Geller’s career, he is using sequins on tanks, trousers, and shorts. “I wanted to get myself out of my comfort zone,” he explains. It’s a funny way of putting it; the backs of the sequin garments are actually made of nylon ripstop, so they are comfortable to sit in. Even with a fantastical mood haunting this season, amplified by wigs by Chrystoph Marten, Geller can’t help but be pragmatic. I have dressed for nearly 30 years now having begun when I was 15 when I started experimenting. It commenced with my sisters silky nylon panties and her nylon and lace slips, and continued to progress to bras, silky sheer stockings, skirts, blouses, dresses and high heel shoes.

If it seems she’s itching to experiment, she’s also still doing so within her own familiar framework. In this space, where constructive criticism is always encouraged, perhaps the last word belongs to The Dude, whose quote appears on another T-shirt this season. “Yeah, well, that’s your own opinion, then.” Immediately after the show, held in a 19th-century hay manger, we hacks clustered into a room below that had originally been a horse shelter, the better to gaze at this fully-fledged fashion thoroughbred—no, this seeming unicorn of fashion who had suddenly appeared before us. “That,” said Suzy Menkes, “was the best new-person collection I have ever seen.” Behind her, Pierre Rougier’s eyes widened at the compliment paid to his client by that most dauntless journalist, who has probably witnessed more collections than the rest of us put together. Sterling Ruby is certainly one of the most charming runway debutants ever—not at all up himself—and this collection was true of an outstanding standard for a first-timer. However, it must be conceded that while a new person at the end of a runway, Ruby comes to the game with credentials no other debut designer has ever possessed. For not only does he have 33 years of clothes-making experience (he first started with a sewing machine at age 13), but he is also an internationally renowned millionaire contemporary artist with a mighty aesthetic back-catalog to mine. Famously (at least in fashion), he was first collected by and then later became a friend of Raf Simons, with whom he collaborated recently for Calvin Klein (draw the veil), and also earlier for a 2014 Simons collection. As Ruby told W Magazine that year of his experience at the show: “Everybody was standing up, cheering. At that moment I thought, ‘Fuck being an artist—this is wonderful.’ ” Well, they are being sold by “specialist” Surf shops AS swimwear, so I suppose they are. Knowing the problems people have with relatively “conventional” bikinis where swimming’s concerned, I don’t think they’d be really suitable for anything other than the casual dip – doing laps might result in more time managing “wardrobe malfunctions” than spent swimming, and I gather from those who like this sort of thing that they aren’t that comfortable to really swim in anyhow. Buy this shirt:  Mahomes 15 Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl shirt LIV Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Mickey Mouse Tom Brady shirt Some of the LIV Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Mickey Mouse Tom Brady shirt and I love this gender fluidity came in less-expected forms. The shorts, which have been a mainstay of his women’s collections from the very beginning, made their men’s debut, as ragged denim cut-offs paired with a lean pinstriped jacket or an oversize trench. The blown-up proportions of the latter underscored the softer, looser—sensual, even—approach Vaccarello took here. It was a first for him, an indication he’s finding his comfort level with his men’s while also being able to dig in and challenge himself. “I love it now,” he said. “It might sound selfish to say this, but I really project myself into the pieces. I’m trying everything on.” Even, he said, the finale looks, a terrific line-up of super-wide, super-fluid black pants, in gauzy knit or crushed pleated silk, billowing and flowing from a high and often belted waist. Vaccarello showed them as the gray-skied swelling Pacific Ocean finally slid into darkness, but it looked a whole lot more like him seeing things in a new light. For all the ideas that Chitose Abe brought to these men’s and women’s collections, nothing was as surprising as her shout-out to The Big Lebowski. Sure, we have now come to expect fashion’s supreme remixer to place quotes within her collections; but “The rug really tied the room together” from the cult film felt especially left-field like some sort of creative non-sequitur. Could it be that Abe equates her signature hybridization to the rug? Not quite. Backstage, we learned that it was the “tying together” part that interested her and that she did this with two “familiar” pieces rather than her usual clashed combos. Wardrobe archetypes gray suit, a trench, a tuxedo, her standby MA1 jacket all figured in this new exercise, which gave the impression of a more dressed-up lineup, even if each look registered the same swingy nonchalance as always. Two of the highlights came right at the start: the tuxedo shirt and pants fused into a roomy dress, undone bowtie included, followed by the reworkings of suit jackets and shirts. Some looks were tied together based on proportions; see the mini MA1 vest over an inside-out jacket or else doubled-up denim jackets. Interestingly, the looks embellished with sequins gave off the same trace of grunge as some of the more obvious sun-struck flannels and mountaineering pants made in collaboration with Gramicci. Towards the end, men’s looks presented permutations of matching shirts and jackets in superpositions that would require buying both to achieve the same effect. Buy this shirt:  LIV Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Mickey Mouse Tom Brady shirt LIV 2021 Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs go Chiefs Snoppy and friends shirt “There are lots of firsts in this show,” mused Paul Andrew backstage before tonight’s Salvatore Ferragamo men’s presentation in Florence. The word backstage doesn’t really fit the LIV 2021 Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs go Chiefs Snoppy and friends shirt What’s more,I will buy this Palazzo Vecchio’s sumptuously frescoed courtyard, where the pre-show mayhem was in full swing. “No fashion show has ever been allowed in Piazza Della Signoria before,” said Andrew. “So this is definitely a major first.” It was also the first show with the designer in the role of creative director of both the men’s and women’s lines, and the first time that Ferragamo staged a fashion show in its hometown of Florence. The label contributed to the recently completed restoration of the majestic Fountain of Neptune, which dominates Piazza Della Signoria, the city’s beating heart. “It was this idea of coming home for Ferragamo,” said Andrew. “I thought, how epic would it be doing my first men’s show during Pitti, which celebrates its 30 birthday this year, with this spectacular fountain as a backdrop.” A little ego trip definitely goes a long way. Though everyone thought the idea was bonkers, Andrew persisted and lots of lengthy negotiations with the city mayor ensued. “And voilà! Here we are,” he exclaimed. To top this magnificent location, only a fashion show in Rome’s Saint Peter’s Square would do, but negotiating with the Pope would probably be a much trickier matter. As an homage to the city, a series of prints abstracting Neptune’s impressively toned torso graced a series of loose shirts and lightweight parachute parkas in delicate pastel hues. The charming, rather feminine color palette neutral tones breaking into more vibrant shades of sky blue and orange, softened by hints of lavender, mint, and periwinkle was one of the distinctive traits of the collection, which revolved around workwear templates rethought with a more formal, luxe flair, but without losing a sense of lightness. I would just like to point out that the money supply is part of the total wealth. The amount of total wealth that the money supply comprises can vary considerably, but if one wanted to figure out the real value of the money supply, then like any other form of wealth, we can use the inflation rate. So for example, if we had a money supply of 22 million dollars in the current year, it would be worth 20 million dollars 5 years ago, and its contribution to the total real wealth of the current year would be 20 million dollars. In real terms, 22 million dollars today is equal to 20 million dollars in the anchor year.

And while Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo admitted that, sometimes, the pressures of trying to force their now five-year-old brand through the ranks of Milan hopefuls to become safely established makes them feel that way, they created the opposite reaction in their audience. The address, way out of town to the East, boded ill but turned out to be that of the loveliest venue so far this Milan. We were beneath a long stretch of the Tangenziale (ring-road) freeway that encircles the city. Alongside us ran the river Lambro, all dappled green and cool reflection, from which dragonflies came to explore this unlikely addition to their ecosystem. Messina and Rizzo had come to a party here a year ago and became so taken by the place that they negotiated with the authorities and local neighborhood to make it a free open-air gallery, curated by them, which opened today. Through the section of hitherto unused urban space given a refreshing lick of white paint over a 4,000 square meter area, this Sunni collection ran from white to black through a comprehensive spectrum of brand expression. Not in specific detail, more in mood, it sparked memories of pre-Francesco Risso Marni for both men and women. The height of the women’s platforms, the laundry-bag enormity of the fringe-decorated totes, and the simultaneous evolution and performative delineation through zig-zag placket topstitching on men’s workwear were all acutely thought through and finely actualized. What it feels like to wear is another matter entirely, but the knit effect nylon used for thumbless mitten-like bags, bigger drawstring sacks, men’s tank tops, and women’s looks that connected sweater and skirt with a buttoned bridge layer at the waist looked both slightly wrong and rather right simultaneously. More on why California in a minute, but what did that uninterrupted view of the clothes tell us? That Vaccarello, who barely tackled menswear prior to arriving at Saint Laurent, save for his brief stint at Versus, is a quick study. This was a strong and assured outing from him, connecting to some of that YSL legend of old, but also with his own unerring sense of what a young guy might actually want to wear today At any rate, in microeconomics, when we are talking about an individual or a firm, spending is the depletion of the firm’s or individual’s wealth. In the macroeconomy, spending is just the transfer of ownership of money and does not represent a depletion of wealth. Buy this shirt:  Cat Bourbon goes in wisdom come out vintage shirt V is for Valentine video games t-shirt Tom Ford was the V is for Valentine video games t-shirt but in fact I love this catalyst that kick-started the direction fashion has taken this millennium. Sure, Hedi Slimane was there on backing vocals, and Martin Margiela was already delivering his now also much-imitated woo-woo riffs of genius. But it was Ford at Gucci who birthed the exemplar bass line that fashion has danced to ever since. His was the first spiffing up of a tired old house into something fabulous, glamorous, and highly profitable that so many have followed (with various levels of success) since. For good or ill it was his eye that created the context of today’s weird fashion Tinder-world in which creative directors and houses restlessly swipe this way and that in search of a moneymaking match. That preamble is to emphasize the fact that when Tom Ford speaks, you cup your hand to your ear and listen, hard. For he is a seer. Of late, the guru has mostly kept his own counsel. He has seemed focused on family, films, his saucily monikered fragrance brands, and preparing to do for the CFDA what he once did for Gucci. Thus a visit to Ford’s showroom this afternoon brought no especial presentiment of the gravity-tilting revelation ahead. At first, all seemed as usual. The thick cream shag pile carpet muffled the breathy coos of buyers as his 2020 collection was appreciatively fingered through. There were great suits, and lots of them—razor-cut black or white with monochrome exotic accents and sexy rock-star boots. There were some powerfully shouldered jacquard jackets in radioactively fuchsia leopard and zebra. There were some great fitted perforated leather jackets and matching slim-fit cargo pants in cream. It was all hot-to-trot stuff, but it was all pretty typical, until shut the front door! there were the yoga pants. That, at least, is what the swirly patterned, marble-ish and vaguely camo skintight leggings, worn with strappy flat sandals and some fine luxe-technical bombers, most resembled at first glimpse. It was hard to tell precisely, however, because in Casa Ford the lookbook images are shown on a flat-screen gallery that rotates every half second or so, like a too-fast departure-lounge board. Keynes has been grossly misrepresented repeatedly by those who imply that he was in favor of spending that would decrease overall wealth production in an economy. This is completely false. Buy this shirt:  V is for Valentine video games t-shirt Tom Brady LIV Super Bowl Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt Since launching their collaboration in 2018, Tommy Hilfiger and Lewis Hamilton have taken their co-created collections across the Tom Brady LIV Super Bowl Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt Also,I will get this world, starting in Shanghai with pit stops in Milan and Berlin. For the fourth installment of TommyXLewis, the duo decided it was time to bring it home, so to speak, back to London where Hamilton is from. A few days before the event, the stakes were raised once again with a surprise announcement: the new collection would include a three-way partnership with Gabriella Wilson, the Grammy-winning R&B singer known as H.E.R. With Naomi Campbell leading the charge, the show at the Tate Modern tonight started on a resounding high note. Even in her downtime, the supermodel isn’t known to wear anything vaguely athletic, though she appeared surprisingly at ease in the brand’s new highlighter yellow and gray tracksuit, working her trademark strut in chunky high-top sneakers. Campbell wasn’t the only famous face in the lineup. There were a number of impressive cross-generational cameos: ’90s favorites Jodie Kidd, Yasmin Le Bon, and Erin O’Connor all walked the runway, as did newcomers such as Halima Aden and Lottie Moss, sister of Kate. In a week that has been sorely lacking in shape and age diversity, the casting was a refreshing change. Since switching gears to fashion, Hamilton has developed a number of personal signatures: Formula One driver has the word “loyalty” tattooed on his forearm and it appeared in bold letters on hoodies and splatter print tees. He doesn’t shy away from the idea of logos, in fact some were specifically designed to glow under the black lights of the club. Fans of Wilson would be able to spot her imprint on the collection from a mile away, too. Lyrics from her hit single “Hard Place” were written across a fluorescent jumpsuit: “My heart or you, I’m gonna lose.” One of the standout pieces in the lineup, it was a true reflection of Wilson’s onstage look. Like Eilish, H.E.R. is among a generation of young musicians who are rewriting the hyper-feminine rules of performance style with a cooler, looser sense of swagger. I believe that this concept becomes most clear when we realize that income and net production of wealth are indeed independent variables. It is using that model that we can understand how “spending” does not get subtracted off of wealth, because the two things are not accounted for on the same axis. And further, rather than being subtracted off wealth, at less than full employment, spending normally, on the average does lead to production of more wealth, not less wealth. Buy this shirt:  Tom Brady LIV Super Bowl Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt The Dadditude ERA shirt Decoration as dissembling is a puritan notion, yet there is also a power in restraint, and apart from a few sparse brand graphics and a building print tee, this was indeed a collection uncluttered by surface chatter. This left you free to consider the The Dadditude ERA shirt also I will do this handsome aspect of Taverniti’s roomy raw-denim work jackets and jeans, and cotton drill pants cut extra-high at the waist. He went high, but he also went low, with what looked like treated silky nylon patched square-cut drop-crotch pants in white. Double-lapel-detail deconstructed suits in washed denim or a silky black viscose were pretty cool too. Taverniti is trying to extend himself beyond the streetwear milieu with which he is associated by divesting his clothes of any contemporary decorative clutter: The silhouettes left standing looked good. What lurks in the dark? What sinister instincts lie dormant, waiting to arise? Where does the capacity for masculine moral villainy begin? If you are a man, you know. I loved this on-the-face-of-it dull Undercover offering because it asked questions of the masculine state we now jazz-hand away with fake rhetoric. It was a collection that interrogated a man’s private knowledge of his worst but most vital instincts his knowledge of himself expressed while dressed as a devil, beautifully. More significant than the Nosferatu silhouettes at the front, or the plentiful Cindy Sherman reproductions at the back, where the spider’s web pleating in the middle of this collection. Trapped by our own urges, it reflected the Dylan Thomas quote on the invitation: “I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me.” To his credit, designer Jun Takahashi said post-show that these violent urges were something he recognized in himself. His rejection of the easy tropes of streetwear for the polished affectation of sartorialism spoke volumes. The clothes were just souvenirs, really, but important ones. Relics of age of masculine devilment that should no longer hold terror or sway. Move on, move up. He also realized that “not spending” would keep from occurring, all of that economic activity that would otherwise result from spending. “Not spending” would prevent from being promoted all of that economic activity that would be creating new wealth and preserving already existing wealth. Keynes realized that not only would “not spending” prevent the production of new wealth, but would also lead to the decay and loss of much our economic infrastructure, further reducing overall wealth. Buy this shirt:  The Dadditude ERA shirt Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Pirate boat shirt Another lavishly classical Versace touch was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Pirate boat shirt in contrast I will get this amphora prints and Lurex knits. Printed vintage Versace fragrance ads on t-shirts and denim were yet another archival flourish. There was a fun, provocative sensuality in the slightly kicky jersey pants worn below tailoring which came in black or leopard print and floral versions in vertical rib-knit, and a carefully thought through and Flint-inflected riff on post-punk in workwear pieces that smashed check against denim. The complementary women’s looks mostly legs-to-there Versace standard mind-melters added extra turbo boost to this high energy Versace outing. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” the Pink Floyd track from the Wish You Were Here album, surged, volume up, as Pierpaolo Piccioli ran out to take his bow after his Spring 2020 Valentino menswear show. Completely apt Piccioli really is fashion’s crazy diamond, an authentic modern-day hippie who follows his own instincts, whether they’re deemed fashionable or not, and has thereby charmed and swept everyone along on his trips to wherever. This time, it was to a place in his own head via the psychedelic porthole opened by ’70s prog-rock: “A fantastic journey into yourself, where you can find fantastic landscapes, and you don’t have boundaries,” he said. “When I was a kid, I was there, far from everything, and I want to keep that feeling when creating a collection because then you don’t limit your imagination.” There was a time when suburban boys in bedrooms everywhere would put their prog-rock albums on their record players and stare for hours at the album art, reading the meaning. That was Piccioli, for sure. One of the major delights at this grown-up successful stage of his life is that he can now not just meet his teenage heroes, but collaborate with them. This time he found Roger Dean, album cover artist of the ’70s, and asked him to make a comeback version of his airbrushed acid–sci-fi–impossible landscapes for this collection. Spending and wealth are certainly related and interact but they are still independent variables. They must be accounted for with a model with two degrees of freedom. I believe that all sorts of misunderstandings of macroeconomics have resulted from the attempt to combine wealth and income so that they are one variable with one degree of freedom. I am saying, that in order to describe the economy as it really is, we must have a model where income and wealth are accounted for by two variables, not one. Buy this shirt:  Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Pirate boat shirt Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt A scary character walking in with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt What’s more,I will buy this “police” was wearing a shirt, a tie stamped with a Global Mind Fuck logo, a conference sticker reading “Hello I am Capitalism,” and a MAGA cap. Wait, no, a red baseball cap with For Rent embroidered on it. Rent? Large For Rent signs appeared on the backs of jackets, too. What did that signify? All the things you can imagine when you see it, about the desperation of a generation willing to do anything to get paid or the hollowed-out husks of men with no moral scruples about moving capital around. Along the way, the root of all evil itself popped up, too, stamped on T-shirts in the form of dollar bills with redesigned text that read: “I Am the Piece of Paper That Controls Your Entire Life.” Gvasalia had explained earlier that the uniforms were based on Russian police wear. “I love uniforms. We wanted to design a Vetements uniform and kind of try to meme it into fashion.” Well, is mimicking the guises of a system with a few savage twists and puns a way of getting under its skin? Gvasalia remembers turning up at an event as a student, “something I knew [I] had no real hope of getting into,” but he was wearing a piece of a secondhand uniform, and found people stepping aside to wave him in. “Because they assumed I was a security guard.” That’s amusing. But can Gvasalia have it both ways: participating in the novelty-driven production cycle of the fashion industry, while criticizing it? At the beginning of Vetements, the idea of using the preexisting led to recycling jeans, cutting pieces from many sources into one. That’s still going on at Vetements, by the look of it. Plus the mounded-up print collaged dresses another Gvasalia signature really are made from leftover Vetements fabrics. The For Rent signs, he said, also posed the question about ownership of clothes “in the future.” Well, that’s already happening out there. How meta would it be if Vetements fans end up renting Vetements For Hire clothes? He wasn’t making any claims to be completely committing to the circular economy. Yet. But surely that will come for Vetements and everyone a change forced on brands by youthful followers who increasingly choose to place their dollars with ethical operators. Looking at this I realized that spending does not directly cause a change in the level of wealth. It is only the net production of wealth that affects the level of wealth. And even though spending and the economic activity it promotes can lead to the production of wealth, a given amount of spending and income does not absolutely or uniquely determine the amount of net production that occurs.

Today, the covered-yet-open-air terrace of a Sorbonne University building was a game-changer; what a difference a breeze makes! The models didn’t need to be trail running or BMX biking two of the extreme sports that inspired Yosuke Aizawa this season for the audience to imagine guys wearing his high-impact looks off the runway. The Tokyo-based designer explained that he imbues pieces with a “discord ambiance,” which might mean anything from a T-shirt boasting overlaid letters spelling nothing to Gore-Tex outerwear paired with linen pants. These “coincidences,” as he also called them, were a way of integrating pieces that wouldn’t normally be found in either athletic attire or streetwear think classic shirting adapted with technical straps and pleated shorts that looked more like skorts. Aizawa goes through phases of favoring bold prints, and today’s lush and color-saturated botanicals might have been his boldest yet. If common sense would suggest these have limited interest, the designer has pointed out before that people are very happy to experiment beyond black (although those pieces too were hardly boring). Plaid, animal spots, paisley, and painterly camo made for a particularly dynamic lineup of active eccentrics guys who not only sported next-level sneaker designs, but also a smear of colorful eye makeup. Compared to the Sacai show earlier in the day, White Mountaineering isn’t perceived with the same cachet despite many overlapping elements (both mastered their soundtracks, it should be said). Make no mistake, Aizawa’s vision is his own and if athleisure trends start to shift towards these dandy-ish mash-ups, we’ll have him to thank. Walter Van Beirendonck called the clothes in this showing of kinky sportswear deluxe “Alien Vintage” and said that the collection was designed to attire his fantasy community of extraterrestrials. As he mused in his notes: “I pictured being introduced to a small part of the alien folk, a community with such a limitless diversity of forms and looks.” Those forms included four-armed biped, as evinced by outfits with two extra sleeves below the armpit, and aliens with fearsomely hunky quads as per the cool gathered baggy pants in primary-color nylon.

Once you looked beyond the crowd-pleasing Mad Max: Fury Road cosplay and the cool-looking band (named The Entire Universe) with a Plein-flavored Stevie Nicks-alike (from a distance) on the back of a flatbed (their attire gave me weird Plein-does-Slimane vibes), the clothes that unfolded around the cacophony of background noise represented a development. Plein has shifted his focus from hip hop, his first love, to rock. There was clearly a deal struck with Kiss, whose angled logo featured on the boob- and butt-covering patches on sheer minidresses for women and a plethora of biker jackets for men. There were considerably more women’s looks here than menswear, and following the recruitment of a new design team—they represented a tangible advance. Plein might not need to acquire Cavalli to become Roberto’s true inheritor of blingy animalist and totally unsubtle sexy-sexy dressing he can just do it himself. The menswear was a rocky remix of Plein tropes enlivened by mismatched studded sneakers and some pretty sleekly cut Animalia bikers made cheesy yet still compelling in their cheesiness by fluoro color flashes against the predominant black. By the time the designer emerged, air-playing a flamethrower with a guitar attached, we were only an hour after the start time. As Ice Cube once put it: “I can’t believe today was a good day.” Jewelry was extremely important. Status was often portrayed through the style of jewelry one wore. Ancient Egyptian women believed jewelry made them appear more appealing to the gods so even the poor women in the Egyptian society adorned themselves with as many jewels as they could. They often wore bracelets, necklaces, rings, fanciful buttons, earrings, neck collars, and pendants. The higher class a person was, the more gold and precious gems they would use in the making of the jewelry. The most common gems were Turquoise – a greenish-blue gem, Lapiz-lazuli – a brilliantly bright blue gem, and Carnelian – a smooth reddish-brown stone. The lower class would still decorate in lots of bulky jewelry, although they used pottery beads or glassware for decoration rather than gems.

It would have been so dreamy to be able to hang around for the whole enchilada that promised via repeat performance and barbecue to be a fun evening. Held on the roof of a garage in the 9th arrondissement, the sun was still high and bright. In every direction but for the south around us was spread the infinite patchwork of Paris’s panorama. What blocked the southern aspect was a photographed replica of the view beyond, upon which was printed with the view, with the insertion of some new futuristic buildings two new towers by the Eiffel with alien ergonomic windows and walkways. Slightly to the east, the Pompidou had somehow been tripled in size. In front of the backdrop was a floor of boulder-strewn sand. When the rehearsal started, orchestrated by Stéphane Ashpool with an already-sunburned neck, we saw a sort of future-pagan tribe in flowing white and metallic raiments emerge. Behind started up the most awesome music urgent, mystic, blissed-out future jazz overseen by Kamaal Williams (with Alina Bzhezhinska on harp, Rick Leon James on bass, and Nathaniel Fuller on percussion). The first looks mixed patched robes with drawstring-shirred parkas and loose green organza pants that flapped like prayer flags in the breeze in a sort of Sun-Ra-meets-Logan’s-Run-meets-Buck-Rogers vibe. Then a group of dancers in powerfully colored double-faced pajama suits emerged and made patterns with movement around the first looks before a maypole ritual with strips of fabric. Next up were some looks by Ashpool proteges Theo Each-Cheikh and Yacine Keita, whom he has long mentored and now given creation space in his atelier. Finally were three Pigalle x Nike looks complete with Jumpmans and Jordans applied as a final flourish in a show interrupted only by a handsome dog that wandered onto the runway halfway through before being tenderly ejected by the designer. At the age of six, women start to wear clothes. Status was important in ancient Egypt. The higher the position, the thinner the material. Unlike men, women wore more conservative clothes. They wore full-length, straight dresses with one or two shoulder straps, with very little sewing, if any. These dresses, depending on the period, would lie below the breast, but most often covered the chest.

The clothes were essentials in the most classic sense of menswear twills, tweeds, shirting, sportswear, khaki but oversize or misplaced in their proportion to reveal, say, a bare collarbone in a baby dollish tank, or to accentuate the strangeness of wearing a cropped jacket over a blazer in the same material. Together the looks comprised all the musts of a traditional male wardrobe, recut with the freewheeling spirit of boyhood. But a Prada show is never one-note. The stated reason for this Shanghai show was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Milan being named a sister city of the Chinese cosmopolis. The reality is that business in China is booming. Over two days of touring the city’s hubs, it was impossible to miss a Prada store or billboard. In reviving its Linea Rossa business, the company has struck gold with a younger, more streetwear-inclined consumer. Perhaps that’s what gave birth to a series of prints of antiquated technology. A roll of film here, a cassette tape there, a ‘50s soda-pop joint milkshake later on all of these pieces appeared as a single graphic or as a grid of many on trendy nylon. As the models walked past an audience clad in last season’s Frankenstein-patterned pieces, you could see the commercial appeal. To be sinister, or sales-minded, though, is not the larger message. Zoom all the way out like, decades of menswear out and this collection could read as a pivotal moment for Prada. For a long time, its menswear shows were about medium-rise straight pant, a button-up polo shirt, and a loose anorak. Where did it go? I look around me quickly, pretty sure I look like a witch at the moment with my crazy mess of a hair. And I spotted it, laying there on the ground underneath the shoes of the merciless, hungry girls. I rushed to take it and looked at it to see that it’s covered with shoe marks all over. I may have survived the battle but it didn’t.. But given the mess that my hair was, I had to put that filthy piece of fabric on my head and withdraw to at least enjoy this piece of pizza… and think of a better way to get breakfast the next day.

Placed on a pedestal table in the middle of the gallery space, as those happy families looked on, were two of Private Policy’s “gun bags”: little clip-on bags that resembled gun holsters. Considering that Asian Americans—and all Americans—are in the midst of a gun-control crisis and a spike in mass shootings, the design, however accidental, was ill-advised. The young designers are still sorting out their place and position in the fashion industry, and they’d be wise to make absolutely sure that their inspiring message is consistent across the board. Li and Qu have great potential, and as long as they keep their social and cultural activism running on one seamless track, they’ll make a big impact. The new menswear director at Pringle of Scotland, Giuseppe Marretta, joined the house of argyle following a five-year stretch as head of design, knit, and jersey (womenswear) at Giorgio Armani. Speaking at the company’s presentation in Paris, Marretta said: “The first thing that I had in mind when I was designing this collection was to bring some fun to menswear. When things are too serious, it’s boring…so I wanted to bring fun though color and through revisiting British culture through my Italian eyes, and to work via an incredible inspiration as David Hockney is, both as an icon of style and an artist.” Hockney has many fans in fashion Michael Kors, Christopher Bailey at Burberry, Jacquemus, JW Anderson, Fendi, Olympia Le-Tan, Paul Smith, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, Ellery, and John Galliano are just a few labels that have also used his verve and art as inspiration for collections. And in September 2008 Clare Waight Keller dedicated a collection of womenswear to a bigger splash for no lesser house than Pringle of Scotland. I still remember it as clear as day. I had to dive right into battle if I wanted to find something to eat. Even if it meant having people’s filthy hands rubbing all over my body. I was starving. Hunger makes you take risks. So I jumped right into it. I ran towards the mass of girls twisting their hands to reach the window. I shoved my body forcefully into the tight spaces between them, plugging my nose to avoid the stench spreading from all these raised arms. But I had to keep going !! I had to eat. Buy this shirt:  Patrick boat LIV we’re coming home Super Bowl LV Buccaneers shirt My VP looks like me women african American black girl shirt Sometimes, watching a Simons show can feel like sitting an exam or trying to crack a cryptic crossword. His work is exclusionary to the My VP looks like me women african American black girl shirt also I will do this extent that you need to be a qualified Raf-ologist to understand what it means. This time, he refused to speak after the show to give any gloss on his meaning and layered references. Maybe he didn’t trust himself to answer questions about why the set was populated with standard office chairs, bound in black plastic tape. Or to add anything to what could be read, partially or wholly, in his textual graphics. Was one recurring motif. And on the back necks of many garments: “My Own Private Antwerp.” To be fair, it wasn’t a question of Simons lobbing criticism of Trump’s America from afar, now that he’s living back in Belgium. He’d been critical enough about the political atmosphere of Trump’s America while he was working at Calvin Klein, what with his American Psycho and other horror movie thematics. Now, though, after a couple of seasons when he’d diverted his energies into exploring a certain European elegance in his own collection, his raw anger against the power of corporate USA was back with a vengeance. His boys seemed to belong to some underground crew maybe the last surviving boys on Earth, possibly the victims or maybe the perpetrators of some toxic social endgame. There were more text labels reading “RS-LAB,” which explained the lab coats, but why the hospital gowns? Why boxer shorts and padded gloves that looked as if they might be made for handling radioactive chemicals? Styling and heavy meaning apart and this might sound frivolous, considering—it was also a plumb-center commercial collection for all of Raf Simons’s fans, of whatever age. The arty, painted T-shirts, the leather coats, the colorful baggy sweatshirts and overshirts. Whatever post-American psychological fallout is going on in Simons’s life, it hasn’t affected his ability to serve his faithful audience. Maybe it’s improved it. As much as the Duchess recycles her outfits, for special evenings, Catherine splurges on a new gown made to fit her. She wouldn’t want to be at a banquet and see another woman wearing the same exact dress, so she is wearing a gown made just for her. Knock-offs might be made afterwards, but nothing will equal what she wore on that night, when the tiaras gleamed and everyone wore their best.

A palette of soft tonal colors, a slightly vintage insouciance, a fluidity of fit and balance of proportions come to mind when thinking of Purple Label’s signature aesthetic. Yet at today’s presentation at the label’s sumptuous Milanese headquarters, what stood out was a gorgeous, visually compelling lineup of brightly colored evening suits in shades of saturated yellow, fuchsia, and orange. Slim fitting and sharply cut in silk shantung, they looked exceptional, pointing towards an updated approach, with a zest of chic playfulness: “They’re tailored with a lighter construction, but still maintaining sartorial proportions,” said John Wrazej, executive vice president and creative director of men’s design. “They’re all handmade; it’s our uncompromising way of tailoring. They’re probably among the best suits you can find.” The collection also played on sophistication in the daywear offer, with tailoring in proprietary soft-toned wool-gabardine exuding a luxurious yet relaxed feel. An interesting alternative for summer evenings was a single-breasted cashmere blazer in a dense, sensual tobacco shade; paired with cream-colored fluid pants, “it’d look beautiful with a tan,” suggested Wrazej. A sporty allure featured prominently in a series of knitted intarsia sweaters and polo shirts with marine-inspired motifs, while nautical references were in evidence in officer’s jackets, wide-leg pants, and striped sweaters. But the most innovative aspect the collection were the RLX technical performance fabrics used for roomy, well-cut waterproof parkas and sailing jackets. “It’s nylon, a polyester yarn made using recycled plastic bottles,” explained Wrazej. ”It’s completely high-performance. The company is taking a strong stand towards going sustainable. For Fall we’ll have a lot more sustainable fabrics; probably 80 percent of our nylons and insulations will be made with sustainable yarns,” he continued. “The issue is front and center across the company, with very strict guidelines that over the next four or five years we’ll be shifting the label towards a much more environmentally conscious approach, even in manufacturing.” From that initial exciting experience it was not very long where I again felt the irresistible urge to try on my sister’s panties and a slip. Following a second experience I knew within myself that I would not be able to resist the temptation to try on panties and a slip again. My life from that point would include dressing up in panties and a slip whenever the opportunity presented, and when I experimented with a bra I then wanted to try on a skirt, stockings and then a dress. My sister had the most gorgeous assortment of very pretty panties and slips which was so enticing.

Titled Tecuatl after his maternal grandmother’s maiden name—Owens’s mother hails from Puebla and is of Mixtec heritage—this collection was the Chess Pieces Silhouette Tshirts in contrast I will get this first time he has used his work as a lens through which to explore his south-of-the-border roots. As he said at the top, however, Owens’s relationship with those roots is abstract—and that abstraction was reflected in the collection. One prosaic reason for this is he only revisited his mother’s homeland this year, for the first time in 30. Another is that—just as in the last-season cycle of awesome Larry Legaspi shows—his themes are, ultimately, just one of the raw materials in a creative clay that is every season shaped by his design and in his own image.  Silhouettes were full, and the assembly of pieces used to achieve them what the designer called a “potpourri” was eclectically and raffishly combined. “What I really wanted to express was the free soul of the artist, and how he creates his own elegance,” said Curradi backstage. “There were elements mixed from the ’90s, the ’80s, and the ’40s.” The result was a collection that did all the hard work in conjuring an aura of insouciant panache so its wearers won’t have to. Salut! This is why the several tons of damp clay taken from the L.A. studio of British artist Thomas Houseago who has a statue currently installed in the center of the Palais de Tokyo courtyard as part of his “Almost Human” show at the Musee de l’Art Moderne made for such a fitting addition to this show’s mise-en-scène. Houseago, Owens reported, had been on set to oversee the installation of the clay and even ended up creating a small sculpture (one that Owens fully intended to pinch, fire, and add to his collection). Since hitting commercial success with pop-worthy printed camp shirts, Mrs. P has dared to design well beyond her menswear signatures, producing short-shorts and tightly belted blazers, and now loose tanks and shorts with zippers up the side seam. It’s a real treat to see her explore proportion and intention in menswear with the same pointedness she brings to her women’s shows. No wonder the guests in Shanghai went wild. By the way, on the wealth axis, increasing the money supply can reduce other money’s buying power, but only if that newly created money got into a position where it is actively being used for direct spending of goods services, labor and other desired outcome….. and only if the amount of things sold increased at a rate slower that the rate of increase in spending.

Some models wore cast metal rivets, or carried hatches and axes also cast in metal: It was unclear whether these “accessories” would be sold too. What does seem likely, however, is that if you purchase a pair of black Sterling Ruby blurry twig-print yoga pants (they were worn under a long, color-patched hand-knit cardigan), you might be making a fashion investment that truly accrues. When asked about the difference between making fashion and the production of art, Ruby said: “In many respects, outside of the logistics of putting together the collection and the garments in the kind of production of it I don’t see it as any different to making a sculpture or painting.” He added of making objects that are worn: “I kinda find that more rewarding. Not that I mind if somebody has a painting and hangs it on the wall, but it is fun to think of something going out into the world, and moving, and being something for people to see.” And will this be an every-season thing? “I think 15 minutes ago I may not have been able to say yes or no, but now…yes! It might not be seasonal, but I will do it again.” America’s most interesting new fashion designer is also one of its most prolific and successful contemporary artists. We were privileged to see those two worlds meet in a manger in Florence tonight. The experimentation doesn’t stop there. For the first time in Geller’s career, he is using sequins on tanks, trousers, and shorts. “I wanted to get myself out of my comfort zone,” he explains. It’s a funny way of putting it; the backs of the sequin garments are actually made of nylon ripstop, so they are comfortable to sit in. Even with a fantastical mood haunting this season, amplified by wigs by Chrystoph Marten, Geller can’t help but be pragmatic. I have dressed for nearly 30 years now having begun when I was 15 when I started experimenting. It commenced with my sisters silky nylon panties and her nylon and lace slips, and continued to progress to bras, silky sheer stockings, skirts, blouses, dresses and high heel shoes.

If it seems she’s itching to experiment, she’s also still doing so within her own familiar framework. In this space, where constructive criticism is always encouraged, perhaps the last word belongs to The Dude, whose quote appears on another T-shirt this season. “Yeah, well, that’s your own opinion, then.” Immediately after the show, held in a 19th-century hay manger, we hacks clustered into a room below that had originally been a horse shelter, the better to gaze at this fully-fledged fashion thoroughbred—no, this seeming unicorn of fashion who had suddenly appeared before us. “That,” said Suzy Menkes, “was the best new-person collection I have ever seen.” Behind her, Pierre Rougier’s eyes widened at the compliment paid to his client by that most dauntless journalist, who has probably witnessed more collections than the rest of us put together. Sterling Ruby is certainly one of the most charming runway debutants ever—not at all up himself—and this collection was true of an outstanding standard for a first-timer. However, it must be conceded that while a new person at the end of a runway, Ruby comes to the game with credentials no other debut designer has ever possessed. For not only does he have 33 years of clothes-making experience (he first started with a sewing machine at age 13), but he is also an internationally renowned millionaire contemporary artist with a mighty aesthetic back-catalog to mine. Famously (at least in fashion), he was first collected by and then later became a friend of Raf Simons, with whom he collaborated recently for Calvin Klein (draw the veil), and also earlier for a 2014 Simons collection. As Ruby told W Magazine that year of his experience at the show: “Everybody was standing up, cheering. At that moment I thought, ‘Fuck being an artist—this is wonderful.’ ” Well, they are being sold by “specialist” Surf shops AS swimwear, so I suppose they are. Knowing the problems people have with relatively “conventional” bikinis where swimming’s concerned, I don’t think they’d be really suitable for anything other than the casual dip – doing laps might result in more time managing “wardrobe malfunctions” than spent swimming, and I gather from those who like this sort of thing that they aren’t that comfortable to really swim in anyhow. Buy this shirt:  Mahomes 15 Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl shirt LIV Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Mickey Mouse Tom Brady shirt Some of the LIV Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Mickey Mouse Tom Brady shirt and I love this gender fluidity came in less-expected forms. The shorts, which have been a mainstay of his women’s collections from the very beginning, made their men’s debut, as ragged denim cut-offs paired with a lean pinstriped jacket or an oversize trench. The blown-up proportions of the latter underscored the softer, looser—sensual, even—approach Vaccarello took here. It was a first for him, an indication he’s finding his comfort level with his men’s while also being able to dig in and challenge himself. “I love it now,” he said. “It might sound selfish to say this, but I really project myself into the pieces. I’m trying everything on.” Even, he said, the finale looks, a terrific line-up of super-wide, super-fluid black pants, in gauzy knit or crushed pleated silk, billowing and flowing from a high and often belted waist. Vaccarello showed them as the gray-skied swelling Pacific Ocean finally slid into darkness, but it looked a whole lot more like him seeing things in a new light. For all the ideas that Chitose Abe brought to these men’s and women’s collections, nothing was as surprising as her shout-out to The Big Lebowski. Sure, we have now come to expect fashion’s supreme remixer to place quotes within her collections; but “The rug really tied the room together” from the cult film felt especially left-field like some sort of creative non-sequitur. Could it be that Abe equates her signature hybridization to the rug? Not quite. Backstage, we learned that it was the “tying together” part that interested her and that she did this with two “familiar” pieces rather than her usual clashed combos. Wardrobe archetypes gray suit, a trench, a tuxedo, her standby MA1 jacket all figured in this new exercise, which gave the impression of a more dressed-up lineup, even if each look registered the same swingy nonchalance as always. Two of the highlights came right at the start: the tuxedo shirt and pants fused into a roomy dress, undone bowtie included, followed by the reworkings of suit jackets and shirts. Some looks were tied together based on proportions; see the mini MA1 vest over an inside-out jacket or else doubled-up denim jackets. Interestingly, the looks embellished with sequins gave off the same trace of grunge as some of the more obvious sun-struck flannels and mountaineering pants made in collaboration with Gramicci. Towards the end, men’s looks presented permutations of matching shirts and jackets in superpositions that would require buying both to achieve the same effect. Buy this shirt:  LIV Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Mickey Mouse Tom Brady shirt LIV 2021 Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs go Chiefs Snoppy and friends shirt “There are lots of firsts in this show,” mused Paul Andrew backstage before tonight’s Salvatore Ferragamo men’s presentation in Florence. The word backstage doesn’t really fit the LIV 2021 Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs go Chiefs Snoppy and friends shirt What’s more,I will buy this Palazzo Vecchio’s sumptuously frescoed courtyard, where the pre-show mayhem was in full swing. “No fashion show has ever been allowed in Piazza Della Signoria before,” said Andrew. “So this is definitely a major first.” It was also the first show with the designer in the role of creative director of both the men’s and women’s lines, and the first time that Ferragamo staged a fashion show in its hometown of Florence. The label contributed to the recently completed restoration of the majestic Fountain of Neptune, which dominates Piazza Della Signoria, the city’s beating heart. “It was this idea of coming home for Ferragamo,” said Andrew. “I thought, how epic would it be doing my first men’s show during Pitti, which celebrates its 30 birthday this year, with this spectacular fountain as a backdrop.” A little ego trip definitely goes a long way. Though everyone thought the idea was bonkers, Andrew persisted and lots of lengthy negotiations with the city mayor ensued. “And voilà! Here we are,” he exclaimed. To top this magnificent location, only a fashion show in Rome’s Saint Peter’s Square would do, but negotiating with the Pope would probably be a much trickier matter. As an homage to the city, a series of prints abstracting Neptune’s impressively toned torso graced a series of loose shirts and lightweight parachute parkas in delicate pastel hues. The charming, rather feminine color palette neutral tones breaking into more vibrant shades of sky blue and orange, softened by hints of lavender, mint, and periwinkle was one of the distinctive traits of the collection, which revolved around workwear templates rethought with a more formal, luxe flair, but without losing a sense of lightness. I would just like to point out that the money supply is part of the total wealth. The amount of total wealth that the money supply comprises can vary considerably, but if one wanted to figure out the real value of the money supply, then like any other form of wealth, we can use the inflation rate. So for example, if we had a money supply of 22 million dollars in the current year, it would be worth 20 million dollars 5 years ago, and its contribution to the total real wealth of the current year would be 20 million dollars. In real terms, 22 million dollars today is equal to 20 million dollars in the anchor year. Buy this shirt:  LIV 2021 Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs go Chiefs Snoppy and friends shirt

Cat Bourbon goes in wisdom come out vintage shirt So it was written on the Cat Bourbon goes in wisdom come out vintage shirt but in fact I love this tank-tee that will surely be the most ’gram garm of this collection. And while Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo admitted that, sometimes, the pressures of trying to force their now five-year-old brand through the ranks of Milan hopefuls to become safely established makes them feel that way, they created the opposite reaction in their audience. The address, way out of town to the East, boded ill but turned out to be that of the loveliest venue so far this Milan. We were beneath a long stretch of the Tangenziale (ring-road) freeway that encircles the city. Alongside us ran the river Lambro, all dappled green and cool reflection, from which dragonflies came to explore this unlikely addition to their ecosystem. Messina and Rizzo had come to a party here a year ago and became so taken by the place that they negotiated with the authorities and local neighborhood to make it a free open-air gallery, curated by them, which opened today. Through the section of hitherto unused urban space given a refreshing lick of white paint over a 4,000 square meter area, this Sunni collection ran from white to black through a comprehensive spectrum of brand expression. Not in specific detail, more in mood, it sparked memories of pre-Francesco Risso Marni for both men and women. The height of the women’s platforms, the laundry-bag enormity of the fringe-decorated totes, and the simultaneous evolution and performative delineation through zig-zag placket topstitching on men’s workwear were all acutely thought through and finely actualized. What it feels like to wear is another matter entirely, but the knit effect nylon used for thumbless mitten-like bags, bigger drawstring sacks, men’s tank tops, and women’s looks that connected sweater and skirt with a buttoned bridge layer at the waist looked both slightly wrong and rather right simultaneously. More on why California in a minute, but what did that uninterrupted view of the clothes tell us? That Vaccarello, who barely tackled menswear prior to arriving at Saint Laurent, save for his brief stint at Versus, is a quick study. This was a strong and assured outing from him, connecting to some of that YSL legend of old, but also with his own unerring sense of what a young guy might actually want to wear today At any rate, in microeconomics, when we are talking about an individual or a firm, spending is the depletion of the firm’s or individual’s wealth. In the macroeconomy, spending is just the transfer of ownership of money and does not represent a depletion of wealth. Buy this shirt:  Cat Bourbon goes in wisdom come out vintage shirt V is for Valentine video games t-shirt Tom Ford was the V is for Valentine video games t-shirt but in fact I love this catalyst that kick-started the direction fashion has taken this millennium. Sure, Hedi Slimane was there on backing vocals, and Martin Margiela was already delivering his now also much-imitated woo-woo riffs of genius. But it was Ford at Gucci who birthed the exemplar bass line that fashion has danced to ever since. His was the first spiffing up of a tired old house into something fabulous, glamorous, and highly profitable that so many have followed (with various levels of success) since. For good or ill it was his eye that created the context of today’s weird fashion Tinder-world in which creative directors and houses restlessly swipe this way and that in search of a moneymaking match. That preamble is to emphasize the fact that when Tom Ford speaks, you cup your hand to your ear and listen, hard. For he is a seer. Of late, the guru has mostly kept his own counsel. He has seemed focused on family, films, his saucily monikered fragrance brands, and preparing to do for the CFDA what he once did for Gucci. Thus a visit to Ford’s showroom this afternoon brought no especial presentiment of the gravity-tilting revelation ahead. At first, all seemed as usual. The thick cream shag pile carpet muffled the breathy coos of buyers as his 2020 collection was appreciatively fingered through. There were great suits, and lots of them—razor-cut black or white with monochrome exotic accents and sexy rock-star boots. There were some powerfully shouldered jacquard jackets in radioactively fuchsia leopard and zebra. There were some great fitted perforated leather jackets and matching slim-fit cargo pants in cream. It was all hot-to-trot stuff, but it was all pretty typical, until shut the front door! there were the yoga pants. That, at least, is what the swirly patterned, marble-ish and vaguely camo skintight leggings, worn with strappy flat sandals and some fine luxe-technical bombers, most resembled at first glimpse. It was hard to tell precisely, however, because in Casa Ford the lookbook images are shown on a flat-screen gallery that rotates every half second or so, like a too-fast departure-lounge board. Keynes has been grossly misrepresented repeatedly by those who imply that he was in favor of spending that would decrease overall wealth production in an economy. This is completely false.

For the fourth installment of TommyXLewis, the duo decided it was time to bring it home, so to speak, back to London where Hamilton is from. A few days before the event, the stakes were raised once again with a surprise announcement: the new collection would include a three-way partnership with Gabriella Wilson, the Grammy-winning R&B singer known as H.E.R. With Naomi Campbell leading the charge, the show at the Tate Modern tonight started on a resounding high note. Even in her downtime, the supermodel isn’t known to wear anything vaguely athletic, though she appeared surprisingly at ease in the brand’s new highlighter yellow and gray tracksuit, working her trademark strut in chunky high-top sneakers. Campbell wasn’t the only famous face in the lineup. There were a number of impressive cross-generational cameos: ’90s favorites Jodie Kidd, Yasmin Le Bon, and Erin O’Connor all walked the runway, as did newcomers such as Halima Aden and Lottie Moss, sister of Kate. In a week that has been sorely lacking in shape and age diversity, the casting was a refreshing change. Since switching gears to fashion, Hamilton has developed a number of personal signatures: Formula One driver has the word “loyalty” tattooed on his forearm and it appeared in bold letters on hoodies and splatter print tees. He doesn’t shy away from the idea of logos, in fact some were specifically designed to glow under the black lights of the club. Fans of Wilson would be able to spot her imprint on the collection from a mile away, too. Lyrics from her hit single “Hard Place” were written across a fluorescent jumpsuit: “My heart or you, I’m gonna lose.” One of the standout pieces in the lineup, it was a true reflection of Wilson’s onstage look. Like Eilish, H.E.R. is among a generation of young musicians who are rewriting the hyper-feminine rules of performance style with a cooler, looser sense of swagger. I believe that this concept becomes most clear when we realize that income and net production of wealth are indeed independent variables. It is using that model that we can understand how “spending” does not get subtracted off of wealth, because the two things are not accounted for on the same axis. And further, rather than being subtracted off wealth, at less than full employment, spending normally, on the average does lead to production of more wealth, not less wealth. Buy this shirt:  Tom Brady LIV Super Bowl Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt The Dadditude ERA shirt Decoration as dissembling is a puritan notion, yet there is also a power in restraint, and apart from a few sparse brand graphics and a building print tee, this was indeed a collection uncluttered by surface chatter. This left you free to consider the The Dadditude ERA shirt also I will do this handsome aspect of Taverniti’s roomy raw-denim work jackets and jeans, and cotton drill pants cut extra-high at the waist. He went high, but he also went low, with what looked like treated silky nylon patched square-cut drop-crotch pants in white. Double-lapel-detail deconstructed suits in washed denim or a silky black viscose were pretty cool too. Taverniti is trying to extend himself beyond the streetwear milieu with which he is associated by divesting his clothes of any contemporary decorative clutter: The silhouettes left standing looked good. What lurks in the dark? What sinister instincts lie dormant, waiting to arise? Where does the capacity for masculine moral villainy begin? If you are a man, you know. I loved this on-the-face-of-it dull Undercover offering because it asked questions of the masculine state we now jazz-hand away with fake rhetoric. It was a collection that interrogated a man’s private knowledge of his worst but most vital instincts his knowledge of himself expressed while dressed as a devil, beautifully. More significant than the Nosferatu silhouettes at the front, or the plentiful Cindy Sherman reproductions at the back, where the spider’s web pleating in the middle of this collection. Trapped by our own urges, it reflected the Dylan Thomas quote on the invitation: “I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me.” To his credit, designer Jun Takahashi said post-show that these violent urges were something he recognized in himself. His rejection of the easy tropes of streetwear for the polished affectation of sartorialism spoke volumes. The clothes were just souvenirs, really, but important ones. Relics of age of masculine devilment that should no longer hold terror or sway. Move on, move up. He also realized that “not spending” would keep from occurring, all of that economic activity that would otherwise result from spending. “Not spending” would prevent from being promoted all of that economic activity that would be creating new wealth and preserving already existing wealth. Keynes realized that not only would “not spending” prevent the production of new wealth, but would also lead to the decay and loss of much our economic infrastructure, further reducing overall wealth. Buy this shirt:  The Dadditude ERA shirt Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Pirate boat shirt Another lavishly classical Versace touch was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Pirate boat shirt in contrast I will get this amphora prints and Lurex knits. Printed vintage Versace fragrance ads on t-shirts and denim were yet another archival flourish. There was a fun, provocative sensuality in the slightly kicky jersey pants worn below tailoring which came in black or leopard print and floral versions in vertical rib-knit, and a carefully thought through and Flint-inflected riff on post-punk in workwear pieces that smashed check against denim. The complementary women’s looks mostly legs-to-there Versace standard mind-melters added extra turbo boost to this high energy Versace outing. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” the Pink Floyd track from the Wish You Were Here album, surged, volume up, as Pierpaolo Piccioli ran out to take his bow after his Spring 2020 Valentino menswear show. Completely apt Piccioli really is fashion’s crazy diamond, an authentic modern-day hippie who follows his own instincts, whether they’re deemed fashionable or not, and has thereby charmed and swept everyone along on his trips to wherever. This time, it was to a place in his own head via the psychedelic porthole opened by ’70s prog-rock: “A fantastic journey into yourself, where you can find fantastic landscapes, and you don’t have boundaries,” he said. “When I was a kid, I was there, far from everything, and I want to keep that feeling when creating a collection because then you don’t limit your imagination.” There was a time when suburban boys in bedrooms everywhere would put their prog-rock albums on their record players and stare for hours at the album art, reading the meaning. That was Piccioli, for sure. One of the major delights at this grown-up successful stage of his life is that he can now not just meet his teenage heroes, but collaborate with them. This time he found Roger Dean, album cover artist of the ’70s, and asked him to make a comeback version of his airbrushed acid–sci-fi–impossible landscapes for this collection. Spending and wealth are certainly related and interact but they are still independent variables. They must be accounted for with a model with two degrees of freedom. I believe that all sorts of misunderstandings of macroeconomics have resulted from the attempt to combine wealth and income so that they are one variable with one degree of freedom. I am saying, that in order to describe the economy as it really is, we must have a model where income and wealth are accounted for by two variables, not one.

Wait, no, a red baseball cap with For Rent embroidered on it. Rent? Large For Rent signs appeared on the backs of jackets, too. What did that signify? All the things you can imagine when you see it, about the desperation of a generation willing to do anything to get paid or the hollowed-out husks of men with no moral scruples about moving capital around. Along the way, the root of all evil itself popped up, too, stamped on T-shirts in the form of dollar bills with redesigned text that read: “I Am the Piece of Paper That Controls Your Entire Life.” Gvasalia had explained earlier that the uniforms were based on Russian police wear. “I love uniforms. We wanted to design a Vetements uniform and kind of try to meme it into fashion.” Well, is mimicking the guises of a system with a few savage twists and puns a way of getting under its skin? Gvasalia remembers turning up at an event as a student, “something I knew [I] had no real hope of getting into,” but he was wearing a piece of a secondhand uniform, and found people stepping aside to wave him in. “Because they assumed I was a security guard.” That’s amusing. But can Gvasalia have it both ways: participating in the novelty-driven production cycle of the fashion industry, while criticizing it? At the beginning of Vetements, the idea of using the preexisting led to recycling jeans, cutting pieces from many sources into one. That’s still going on at Vetements, by the look of it. Plus the mounded-up print collaged dresses another Gvasalia signature really are made from leftover Vetements fabrics. The For Rent signs, he said, also posed the question about ownership of clothes “in the future.” Well, that’s already happening out there. How meta would it be if Vetements fans end up renting Vetements For Hire clothes? He wasn’t making any claims to be completely committing to the circular economy. Yet. But surely that will come for Vetements and everyone a change forced on brands by youthful followers who increasingly choose to place their dollars with ethical operators. Looking at this I realized that spending does not directly cause a change in the level of wealth. It is only the net production of wealth that affects the level of wealth. And even though spending and the economic activity it promotes can lead to the production of wealth, a given amount of spending and income does not absolutely or uniquely determine the amount of net production that occurs.

Today, the covered-yet-open-air terrace of a Sorbonne University building was a game-changer; what a difference a breeze makes! The models didn’t need to be trail running or BMX biking two of the extreme sports that inspired Yosuke Aizawa this season for the audience to imagine guys wearing his high-impact looks off the runway. The Tokyo-based designer explained that he imbues pieces with a “discord ambiance,” which might mean anything from a T-shirt boasting overlaid letters spelling nothing to Gore-Tex outerwear paired with linen pants. These “coincidences,” as he also called them, were a way of integrating pieces that wouldn’t normally be found in either athletic attire or streetwear think classic shirting adapted with technical straps and pleated shorts that looked more like skorts. Aizawa goes through phases of favoring bold prints, and today’s lush and color-saturated botanicals might have been his boldest yet. If common sense would suggest these have limited interest, the designer has pointed out before that people are very happy to experiment beyond black (although those pieces too were hardly boring). Plaid, animal spots, paisley, and painterly camo made for a particularly dynamic lineup of active eccentrics guys who not only sported next-level sneaker designs, but also a smear of colorful eye makeup. Compared to the Sacai show earlier in the day, White Mountaineering isn’t perceived with the same cachet despite many overlapping elements (both mastered their soundtracks, it should be said). Make no mistake, Aizawa’s vision is his own and if athleisure trends start to shift towards these dandy-ish mash-ups, we’ll have him to thank. Walter Van Beirendonck called the clothes in this showing of kinky sportswear deluxe “Alien Vintage” and said that the collection was designed to attire his fantasy community of extraterrestrials. As he mused in his notes: “I pictured being introduced to a small part of the alien folk, a community with such a limitless diversity of forms and looks.” Those forms included four-armed biped, as evinced by outfits with two extra sleeves below the armpit, and aliens with fearsomely hunky quads as per the cool gathered baggy pants in primary-color nylon.

Once you looked beyond the crowd-pleasing Mad Max: Fury Road cosplay and the cool-looking band (named The Entire Universe) with a Plein-flavored Stevie Nicks-alike (from a distance) on the back of a flatbed (their attire gave me weird Plein-does-Slimane vibes), the clothes that unfolded around the cacophony of background noise represented a development. Plein has shifted his focus from hip hop, his first love, to rock. There was clearly a deal struck with Kiss, whose angled logo featured on the boob- and butt-covering patches on sheer minidresses for women and a plethora of biker jackets for men. There were considerably more women’s looks here than menswear, and following the recruitment of a new design team—they represented a tangible advance. Plein might not need to acquire Cavalli to become Roberto’s true inheritor of blingy animalist and totally unsubtle sexy-sexy dressing he can just do it himself. The menswear was a rocky remix of Plein tropes enlivened by mismatched studded sneakers and some pretty sleekly cut Animalia bikers made cheesy yet still compelling in their cheesiness by fluoro color flashes against the predominant black. By the time the designer emerged, air-playing a flamethrower with a guitar attached, we were only an hour after the start time. As Ice Cube once put it: “I can’t believe today was a good day.” Jewelry was extremely important. Status was often portrayed through the style of jewelry one wore. Ancient Egyptian women believed jewelry made them appear more appealing to the gods so even the poor women in the Egyptian society adorned themselves with as many jewels as they could. They often wore bracelets, necklaces, rings, fanciful buttons, earrings, neck collars, and pendants. The higher class a person was, the more gold and precious gems they would use in the making of the jewelry. The most common gems were Turquoise – a greenish-blue gem, Lapiz-lazuli – a brilliantly bright blue gem, and Carnelian – a smooth reddish-brown stone. The lower class would still decorate in lots of bulky jewelry, although they used pottery beads or glassware for decoration rather than gems. Buy this shirt:  Super Bowl Champions Kansas City Chiefs we’re family t-shirt Super Bowl Champions 2021 I am a Chiefs Fan now and forever shirt Because of the Super Bowl Champions 2021 I am a Chiefs Fan now and forever shirt and I love this Dunhill show that followed immediately after, this reviewer could only stay for the rehearsal of today’s Pigalle show. It would have been so dreamy to be able to hang around for the whole enchilada that promised via repeat performance and barbecue to be a fun evening. Held on the roof of a garage in the 9th arrondissement, the sun was still high and bright. In every direction but for the south around us was spread the infinite patchwork of Paris’s panorama. What blocked the southern aspect was a photographed replica of the view beyond, upon which was printed with the view, with the insertion of some new futuristic buildings two new towers by the Eiffel with alien ergonomic windows and walkways. Slightly to the east, the Pompidou had somehow been tripled in size. In front of the backdrop was a floor of boulder-strewn sand. When the rehearsal started, orchestrated by Stéphane Ashpool with an already-sunburned neck, we saw a sort of future-pagan tribe in flowing white and metallic raiments emerge. Behind started up the most awesome music urgent, mystic, blissed-out future jazz overseen by Kamaal Williams (with Alina Bzhezhinska on harp, Rick Leon James on bass, and Nathaniel Fuller on percussion). The first looks mixed patched robes with drawstring-shirred parkas and loose green organza pants that flapped like prayer flags in the breeze in a sort of Sun-Ra-meets-Logan’s-Run-meets-Buck-Rogers vibe. Then a group of dancers in powerfully colored double-faced pajama suits emerged and made patterns with movement around the first looks before a maypole ritual with strips of fabric. Next up were some looks by Ashpool proteges Theo Each-Cheikh and Yacine Keita, whom he has long mentored and now given creation space in his atelier. Finally were three Pigalle x Nike looks complete with Jumpmans and Jordans applied as a final flourish in a show interrupted only by a handsome dog that wandered onto the runway halfway through before being tenderly ejected by the designer. At the age of six, women start to wear clothes. Status was important in ancient Egypt. The higher the position, the thinner the material. Unlike men, women wore more conservative clothes. They wore full-length, straight dresses with one or two shoulder straps, with very little sewing, if any. These dresses, depending on the period, would lie below the breast, but most often covered the chest. Buy this shirt:  Super Bowl Champions 2021 I am a Chiefs Fan now and forever shirt Sloth Valentine slothmates forever shirt The girlishness and sweetness of those paillette scarves and embroidered shirts were replaced with an almost erotic purity the Sloth Valentine slothmates forever shirt Also,I will get this idea of fetishizing a thing as perfect as it is, unadorned in a simple cotton or loose leather. The clothes were essentials in the most classic sense of menswear twills, tweeds, shirting, sportswear, khaki but oversize or misplaced in their proportion to reveal, say, a bare collarbone in a baby dollish tank, or to accentuate the strangeness of wearing a cropped jacket over a blazer in the same material. Together the looks comprised all the musts of a traditional male wardrobe, recut with the freewheeling spirit of boyhood. But a Prada show is never one-note. The stated reason for this Shanghai show was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Milan being named a sister city of the Chinese cosmopolis. The reality is that business in China is booming. Over two days of touring the city’s hubs, it was impossible to miss a Prada store or billboard. In reviving its Linea Rossa business, the company has struck gold with a younger, more streetwear-inclined consumer. Perhaps that’s what gave birth to a series of prints of antiquated technology. A roll of film here, a cassette tape there, a ‘50s soda-pop joint milkshake later on all of these pieces appeared as a single graphic or as a grid of many on trendy nylon. As the models walked past an audience clad in last season’s Frankenstein-patterned pieces, you could see the commercial appeal. To be sinister, or sales-minded, though, is not the larger message. Zoom all the way out like, decades of menswear out and this collection could read as a pivotal moment for Prada. For a long time, its menswear shows were about medium-rise straight pant, a button-up polo shirt, and a loose anorak. Where did it go? I look around me quickly, pretty sure I look like a witch at the moment with my crazy mess of a hair. And I spotted it, laying there on the ground underneath the shoes of the merciless, hungry girls. I rushed to take it and looked at it to see that it’s covered with shoe marks all over. I may have survived the battle but it didn’t.. But given the mess that my hair was, I had to put that filthy piece of fabric on my head and withdraw to at least enjoy this piece of pizza… and think of a better way to get breakfast the next day. Buy this shirt:  Sloth Valentine slothmates forever shirt Patrick boat LIV we’re coming home Super Bowl LV Buccaneers shirt But speaking of America, there was something that distracted from all of the Patrick boat LIV we’re coming home Super Bowl LV Buccaneers shirt in other words I will buy this positive and hopeful photographs that Li and Qu spoke about yesterday. Placed on a pedestal table in the middle of the gallery space, as those happy families looked on, were two of Private Policy’s “gun bags”: little clip-on bags that resembled gun holsters. Considering that Asian Americans—and all Americans—are in the midst of a gun-control crisis and a spike in mass shootings, the design, however accidental, was ill-advised. The young designers are still sorting out their place and position in the fashion industry, and they’d be wise to make absolutely sure that their inspiring message is consistent across the board. Li and Qu have great potential, and as long as they keep their social and cultural activism running on one seamless track, they’ll make a big impact. The new menswear director at Pringle of Scotland, Giuseppe Marretta, joined the house of argyle following a five-year stretch as head of design, knit, and jersey (womenswear) at Giorgio Armani. Speaking at the company’s presentation in Paris, Marretta said: “The first thing that I had in mind when I was designing this collection was to bring some fun to menswear. When things are too serious, it’s boring…so I wanted to bring fun though color and through revisiting British culture through my Italian eyes, and to work via an incredible inspiration as David Hockney is, both as an icon of style and an artist.” Hockney has many fans in fashion Michael Kors, Christopher Bailey at Burberry, Jacquemus, JW Anderson, Fendi, Olympia Le-Tan, Paul Smith, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, Ellery, and John Galliano are just a few labels that have also used his verve and art as inspiration for collections. And in September 2008 Clare Waight Keller dedicated a collection of womenswear to a bigger splash for no lesser house than Pringle of Scotland. I still remember it as clear as day. I had to dive right into battle if I wanted to find something to eat. Even if it meant having people’s filthy hands rubbing all over my body. I was starving. Hunger makes you take risks. So I jumped right into it. I ran towards the mass of girls twisting their hands to reach the window. I shoved my body forcefully into the tight spaces between them, plugging my nose to avoid the stench spreading from all these raised arms. But I had to keep going !! I had to eat. Buy this shirt:  Patrick boat LIV we’re coming home Super Bowl LV Buccaneers shirt My VP looks like me women african American black girl shirt Sometimes, watching a Simons show can feel like sitting an exam or trying to crack a cryptic crossword. His work is exclusionary to the My VP looks like me women african American black girl shirt also I will do this extent that you need to be a qualified Raf-ologist to understand what it means. This time, he refused to speak after the show to give any gloss on his meaning and layered references. Maybe he didn’t trust himself to answer questions about why the set was populated with standard office chairs, bound in black plastic tape. Or to add anything to what could be read, partially or wholly, in his textual graphics. Was one recurring motif. And on the back necks of many garments: “My Own Private Antwerp.” To be fair, it wasn’t a question of Simons lobbing criticism of Trump’s America from afar, now that he’s living back in Belgium. He’d been critical enough about the political atmosphere of Trump’s America while he was working at Calvin Klein, what with his American Psycho and other horror movie thematics. Now, though, after a couple of seasons when he’d diverted his energies into exploring a certain European elegance in his own collection, his raw anger against the power of corporate USA was back with a vengeance. His boys seemed to belong to some underground crew maybe the last surviving boys on Earth, possibly the victims or maybe the perpetrators of some toxic social endgame. There were more text labels reading “RS-LAB,” which explained the lab coats, but why the hospital gowns? Why boxer shorts and padded gloves that looked as if they might be made for handling radioactive chemicals? Styling and heavy meaning apart and this might sound frivolous, considering—it was also a plumb-center commercial collection for all of Raf Simons’s fans, of whatever age. The arty, painted T-shirts, the leather coats, the colorful baggy sweatshirts and overshirts. Whatever post-American psychological fallout is going on in Simons’s life, it hasn’t affected his ability to serve his faithful audience. Maybe it’s improved it. As much as the Duchess recycles her outfits, for special evenings, Catherine splurges on a new gown made to fit her. She wouldn’t want to be at a banquet and see another woman wearing the same exact dress, so she is wearing a gown made just for her. Knock-offs might be made afterwards, but nothing will equal what she wore on that night, when the tiaras gleamed and everyone wore their best.

A palette of soft tonal colors, a slightly vintage insouciance, a fluidity of fit and balance of proportions come to mind when thinking of Purple Label’s signature aesthetic. Yet at today’s presentation at the label’s sumptuous Milanese headquarters, what stood out was a gorgeous, visually compelling lineup of brightly colored evening suits in shades of saturated yellow, fuchsia, and orange. Slim fitting and sharply cut in silk shantung, they looked exceptional, pointing towards an updated approach, with a zest of chic playfulness: “They’re tailored with a lighter construction, but still maintaining sartorial proportions,” said John Wrazej, executive vice president and creative director of men’s design. “They’re all handmade; it’s our uncompromising way of tailoring. They’re probably among the best suits you can find.” The collection also played on sophistication in the daywear offer, with tailoring in proprietary soft-toned wool-gabardine exuding a luxurious yet relaxed feel. An interesting alternative for summer evenings was a single-breasted cashmere blazer in a dense, sensual tobacco shade; paired with cream-colored fluid pants, “it’d look beautiful with a tan,” suggested Wrazej. A sporty allure featured prominently in a series of knitted intarsia sweaters and polo shirts with marine-inspired motifs, while nautical references were in evidence in officer’s jackets, wide-leg pants, and striped sweaters. But the most innovative aspect the collection were the RLX technical performance fabrics used for roomy, well-cut waterproof parkas and sailing jackets. “It’s nylon, a polyester yarn made using recycled plastic bottles,” explained Wrazej. ”It’s completely high-performance. The company is taking a strong stand towards going sustainable. For Fall we’ll have a lot more sustainable fabrics; probably 80 percent of our nylons and insulations will be made with sustainable yarns,” he continued. “The issue is front and center across the company, with very strict guidelines that over the next four or five years we’ll be shifting the label towards a much more environmentally conscious approach, even in manufacturing.” From that initial exciting experience it was not very long where I again felt the irresistible urge to try on my sister’s panties and a slip. Following a second experience I knew within myself that I would not be able to resist the temptation to try on panties and a slip again. My life from that point would include dressing up in panties and a slip whenever the opportunity presented, and when I experimented with a bra I then wanted to try on a skirt, stockings and then a dress. My sister had the most gorgeous assortment of very pretty panties and slips which was so enticing.

Titled Tecuatl after his maternal grandmother’s maiden name—Owens’s mother hails from Puebla and is of Mixtec heritage—this collection was the Chess Pieces Silhouette Tshirts in contrast I will get this first time he has used his work as a lens through which to explore his south-of-the-border roots. As he said at the top, however, Owens’s relationship with those roots is abstract—and that abstraction was reflected in the collection. One prosaic reason for this is he only revisited his mother’s homeland this year, for the first time in 30. Another is that—just as in the last-season cycle of awesome Larry Legaspi shows—his themes are, ultimately, just one of the raw materials in a creative clay that is every season shaped by his design and in his own image.  Silhouettes were full, and the assembly of pieces used to achieve them what the designer called a “potpourri” was eclectically and raffishly combined. “What I really wanted to express was the free soul of the artist, and how he creates his own elegance,” said Curradi backstage. “There were elements mixed from the ’90s, the ’80s, and the ’40s.” The result was a collection that did all the hard work in conjuring an aura of insouciant panache so its wearers won’t have to. Salut! This is why the several tons of damp clay taken from the L.A. studio of British artist Thomas Houseago who has a statue currently installed in the center of the Palais de Tokyo courtyard as part of his “Almost Human” show at the Musee de l’Art Moderne made for such a fitting addition to this show’s mise-en-scène. Houseago, Owens reported, had been on set to oversee the installation of the clay and even ended up creating a small sculpture (one that Owens fully intended to pinch, fire, and add to his collection). Since hitting commercial success with pop-worthy printed camp shirts, Mrs. P has dared to design well beyond her menswear signatures, producing short-shorts and tightly belted blazers, and now loose tanks and shorts with zippers up the side seam. It’s a real treat to see her explore proportion and intention in menswear with the same pointedness she brings to her women’s shows. No wonder the guests in Shanghai went wild. By the way, on the wealth axis, increasing the money supply can reduce other money’s buying power, but only if that newly created money got into a position where it is actively being used for direct spending of goods services, labor and other desired outcome….. and only if the amount of things sold increased at a rate slower that the rate of increase in spending.

Some models wore cast metal rivets, or carried hatches and axes also cast in metal: It was unclear whether these “accessories” would be sold too. What does seem likely, however, is that if you purchase a pair of black Sterling Ruby blurry twig-print yoga pants (they were worn under a long, color-patched hand-knit cardigan), you might be making a fashion investment that truly accrues. When asked about the difference between making fashion and the production of art, Ruby said: “In many respects, outside of the logistics of putting together the collection and the garments in the kind of production of it I don’t see it as any different to making a sculpture or painting.” He added of making objects that are worn: “I kinda find that more rewarding. Not that I mind if somebody has a painting and hangs it on the wall, but it is fun to think of something going out into the world, and moving, and being something for people to see.” And will this be an every-season thing? “I think 15 minutes ago I may not have been able to say yes or no, but now…yes! It might not be seasonal, but I will do it again.” America’s most interesting new fashion designer is also one of its most prolific and successful contemporary artists. We were privileged to see those two worlds meet in a manger in Florence tonight. The experimentation doesn’t stop there. For the first time in Geller’s career, he is using sequins on tanks, trousers, and shorts. “I wanted to get myself out of my comfort zone,” he explains. It’s a funny way of putting it; the backs of the sequin garments are actually made of nylon ripstop, so they are comfortable to sit in. Even with a fantastical mood haunting this season, amplified by wigs by Chrystoph Marten, Geller can’t help but be pragmatic. I have dressed for nearly 30 years now having begun when I was 15 when I started experimenting. It commenced with my sisters silky nylon panties and her nylon and lace slips, and continued to progress to bras, silky sheer stockings, skirts, blouses, dresses and high heel shoes.

If it seems she’s itching to experiment, she’s also still doing so within her own familiar framework. In this space, where constructive criticism is always encouraged, perhaps the last word belongs to The Dude, whose quote appears on another T-shirt this season. “Yeah, well, that’s your own opinion, then.” Immediately after the show, held in a 19th-century hay manger, we hacks clustered into a room below that had originally been a horse shelter, the better to gaze at this fully-fledged fashion thoroughbred—no, this seeming unicorn of fashion who had suddenly appeared before us. “That,” said Suzy Menkes, “was the best new-person collection I have ever seen.” Behind her, Pierre Rougier’s eyes widened at the compliment paid to his client by that most dauntless journalist, who has probably witnessed more collections than the rest of us put together. Sterling Ruby is certainly one of the most charming runway debutants ever—not at all up himself—and this collection was true of an outstanding standard for a first-timer. However, it must be conceded that while a new person at the end of a runway, Ruby comes to the game with credentials no other debut designer has ever possessed. For not only does he have 33 years of clothes-making experience (he first started with a sewing machine at age 13), but he is also an internationally renowned millionaire contemporary artist with a mighty aesthetic back-catalog to mine. Famously (at least in fashion), he was first collected by and then later became a friend of Raf Simons, with whom he collaborated recently for Calvin Klein (draw the veil), and also earlier for a 2014 Simons collection. As Ruby told W Magazine that year of his experience at the show: “Everybody was standing up, cheering. At that moment I thought, ‘Fuck being an artist—this is wonderful.’ ” Well, they are being sold by “specialist” Surf shops AS swimwear, so I suppose they are. Knowing the problems people have with relatively “conventional” bikinis where swimming’s concerned, I don’t think they’d be really suitable for anything other than the casual dip – doing laps might result in more time managing “wardrobe malfunctions” than spent swimming, and I gather from those who like this sort of thing that they aren’t that comfortable to really swim in anyhow. Buy this shirt:  Mahomes 15 Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl shirt LIV Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Mickey Mouse Tom Brady shirt Some of the LIV Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Mickey Mouse Tom Brady shirt and I love this gender fluidity came in less-expected forms. The shorts, which have been a mainstay of his women’s collections from the very beginning, made their men’s debut, as ragged denim cut-offs paired with a lean pinstriped jacket or an oversize trench. The blown-up proportions of the latter underscored the softer, looser—sensual, even—approach Vaccarello took here. It was a first for him, an indication he’s finding his comfort level with his men’s while also being able to dig in and challenge himself. “I love it now,” he said. “It might sound selfish to say this, but I really project myself into the pieces. I’m trying everything on.” Even, he said, the finale looks, a terrific line-up of super-wide, super-fluid black pants, in gauzy knit or crushed pleated silk, billowing and flowing from a high and often belted waist. Vaccarello showed them as the gray-skied swelling Pacific Ocean finally slid into darkness, but it looked a whole lot more like him seeing things in a new light. For all the ideas that Chitose Abe brought to these men’s and women’s collections, nothing was as surprising as her shout-out to The Big Lebowski. Sure, we have now come to expect fashion’s supreme remixer to place quotes within her collections; but “The rug really tied the room together” from the cult film felt especially left-field like some sort of creative non-sequitur. Could it be that Abe equates her signature hybridization to the rug? Not quite. Backstage, we learned that it was the “tying together” part that interested her and that she did this with two “familiar” pieces rather than her usual clashed combos. Wardrobe archetypes gray suit, a trench, a tuxedo, her standby MA1 jacket all figured in this new exercise, which gave the impression of a more dressed-up lineup, even if each look registered the same swingy nonchalance as always. Two of the highlights came right at the start: the tuxedo shirt and pants fused into a roomy dress, undone bowtie included, followed by the reworkings of suit jackets and shirts. Some looks were tied together based on proportions; see the mini MA1 vest over an inside-out jacket or else doubled-up denim jackets. Interestingly, the looks embellished with sequins gave off the same trace of grunge as some of the more obvious sun-struck flannels and mountaineering pants made in collaboration with Gramicci. Towards the end, men’s looks presented permutations of matching shirts and jackets in superpositions that would require buying both to achieve the same effect.

The word backstage doesn’t really fit the LIV 2021 Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs go Chiefs Snoppy and friends shirt What’s more,I will buy this Palazzo Vecchio’s sumptuously frescoed courtyard, where the pre-show mayhem was in full swing. “No fashion show has ever been allowed in Piazza Della Signoria before,” said Andrew. “So this is definitely a major first.” It was also the first show with the designer in the role of creative director of both the men’s and women’s lines, and the first time that Ferragamo staged a fashion show in its hometown of Florence. The label contributed to the recently completed restoration of the majestic Fountain of Neptune, which dominates Piazza Della Signoria, the city’s beating heart. “It was this idea of coming home for Ferragamo,” said Andrew. “I thought, how epic would it be doing my first men’s show during Pitti, which celebrates its 30 birthday this year, with this spectacular fountain as a backdrop.” A little ego trip definitely goes a long way. Though everyone thought the idea was bonkers, Andrew persisted and lots of lengthy negotiations with the city mayor ensued. “And voilà! Here we are,” he exclaimed. To top this magnificent location, only a fashion show in Rome’s Saint Peter’s Square would do, but negotiating with the Pope would probably be a much trickier matter. As an homage to the city, a series of prints abstracting Neptune’s impressively toned torso graced a series of loose shirts and lightweight parachute parkas in delicate pastel hues. The charming, rather feminine color palette neutral tones breaking into more vibrant shades of sky blue and orange, softened by hints of lavender, mint, and periwinkle was one of the distinctive traits of the collection, which revolved around workwear templates rethought with a more formal, luxe flair, but without losing a sense of lightness. I would just like to point out that the money supply is part of the total wealth. The amount of total wealth that the money supply comprises can vary considerably, but if one wanted to figure out the real value of the money supply, then like any other form of wealth, we can use the inflation rate. So for example, if we had a money supply of 22 million dollars in the current year, it would be worth 20 million dollars 5 years ago, and its contribution to the total real wealth of the current year would be 20 million dollars. In real terms, 22 million dollars today is equal to 20 million dollars in the anchor year.

And while Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo admitted that, sometimes, the pressures of trying to force their now five-year-old brand through the ranks of Milan hopefuls to become safely established makes them feel that way, they created the opposite reaction in their audience. The address, way out of town to the East, boded ill but turned out to be that of the loveliest venue so far this Milan. We were beneath a long stretch of the Tangenziale (ring-road) freeway that encircles the city. Alongside us ran the river Lambro, all dappled green and cool reflection, from which dragonflies came to explore this unlikely addition to their ecosystem. Messina and Rizzo had come to a party here a year ago and became so taken by the place that they negotiated with the authorities and local neighborhood to make it a free open-air gallery, curated by them, which opened today. Through the section of hitherto unused urban space given a refreshing lick of white paint over a 4,000 square meter area, this Sunni collection ran from white to black through a comprehensive spectrum of brand expression. Not in specific detail, more in mood, it sparked memories of pre-Francesco Risso Marni for both men and women. The height of the women’s platforms, the laundry-bag enormity of the fringe-decorated totes, and the simultaneous evolution and performative delineation through zig-zag placket topstitching on men’s workwear were all acutely thought through and finely actualized. What it feels like to wear is another matter entirely, but the knit effect nylon used for thumbless mitten-like bags, bigger drawstring sacks, men’s tank tops, and women’s looks that connected sweater and skirt with a buttoned bridge layer at the waist looked both slightly wrong and rather right simultaneously. More on why California in a minute, but what did that uninterrupted view of the clothes tell us? That Vaccarello, who barely tackled menswear prior to arriving at Saint Laurent, save for his brief stint at Versus, is a quick study. This was a strong and assured outing from him, connecting to some of that YSL legend of old, but also with his own unerring sense of what a young guy might actually want to wear today At any rate, in microeconomics, when we are talking about an individual or a firm, spending is the depletion of the firm’s or individual’s wealth. In the macroeconomy, spending is just the transfer of ownership of money and does not represent a depletion of wealth.

Sure, Hedi Slimane was there on backing vocals, and Martin Margiela was already delivering his now also much-imitated woo-woo riffs of genius. But it was Ford at Gucci who birthed the exemplar bass line that fashion has danced to ever since. His was the first spiffing up of a tired old house into something fabulous, glamorous, and highly profitable that so many have followed (with various levels of success) since. For good or ill it was his eye that created the context of today’s weird fashion Tinder-world in which creative directors and houses restlessly swipe this way and that in search of a moneymaking match. That preamble is to emphasize the fact that when Tom Ford speaks, you cup your hand to your ear and listen, hard. For he is a seer. Of late, the guru has mostly kept his own counsel. He has seemed focused on family, films, his saucily monikered fragrance brands, and preparing to do for the CFDA what he once did for Gucci. Thus a visit to Ford’s showroom this afternoon brought no especial presentiment of the gravity-tilting revelation ahead. At first, all seemed as usual. The thick cream shag pile carpet muffled the breathy coos of buyers as his 2020 collection was appreciatively fingered through. There were great suits, and lots of them—razor-cut black or white with monochrome exotic accents and sexy rock-star boots. There were some powerfully shouldered jacquard jackets in radioactively fuchsia leopard and zebra. There were some great fitted perforated leather jackets and matching slim-fit cargo pants in cream. It was all hot-to-trot stuff, but it was all pretty typical, until shut the front door! there were the yoga pants. That, at least, is what the swirly patterned, marble-ish and vaguely camo skintight leggings, worn with strappy flat sandals and some fine luxe-technical bombers, most resembled at first glimpse. It was hard to tell precisely, however, because in Casa Ford the lookbook images are shown on a flat-screen gallery that rotates every half second or so, like a too-fast departure-lounge board. Keynes has been grossly misrepresented repeatedly by those who imply that he was in favor of spending that would decrease overall wealth production in an economy. This is completely false.

For the fourth installment of TommyXLewis, the duo decided it was time to bring it home, so to speak, back to London where Hamilton is from. A few days before the event, the stakes were raised once again with a surprise announcement: the new collection would include a three-way partnership with Gabriella Wilson, the Grammy-winning R&B singer known as H.E.R. With Naomi Campbell leading the charge, the show at the Tate Modern tonight started on a resounding high note. Even in her downtime, the supermodel isn’t known to wear anything vaguely athletic, though she appeared surprisingly at ease in the brand’s new highlighter yellow and gray tracksuit, working her trademark strut in chunky high-top sneakers. Campbell wasn’t the only famous face in the lineup. There were a number of impressive cross-generational cameos: ’90s favorites Jodie Kidd, Yasmin Le Bon, and Erin O’Connor all walked the runway, as did newcomers such as Halima Aden and Lottie Moss, sister of Kate. In a week that has been sorely lacking in shape and age diversity, the casting was a refreshing change. Since switching gears to fashion, Hamilton has developed a number of personal signatures: Formula One driver has the word “loyalty” tattooed on his forearm and it appeared in bold letters on hoodies and splatter print tees. He doesn’t shy away from the idea of logos, in fact some were specifically designed to glow under the black lights of the club. Fans of Wilson would be able to spot her imprint on the collection from a mile away, too. Lyrics from her hit single “Hard Place” were written across a fluorescent jumpsuit: “My heart or you, I’m gonna lose.” One of the standout pieces in the lineup, it was a true reflection of Wilson’s onstage look. Like Eilish, H.E.R. is among a generation of young musicians who are rewriting the hyper-feminine rules of performance style with a cooler, looser sense of swagger. I believe that this concept becomes most clear when we realize that income and net production of wealth are indeed independent variables. It is using that model that we can understand how “spending” does not get subtracted off of wealth, because the two things are not accounted for on the same axis. And further, rather than being subtracted off wealth, at less than full employment, spending normally, on the average does lead to production of more wealth, not less wealth. Buy this shirt:  Tom Brady LIV Super Bowl Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt The Dadditude ERA shirt Decoration as dissembling is a puritan notion, yet there is also a power in restraint, and apart from a few sparse brand graphics and a building print tee, this was indeed a collection uncluttered by surface chatter. This left you free to consider the The Dadditude ERA shirt also I will do this handsome aspect of Taverniti’s roomy raw-denim work jackets and jeans, and cotton drill pants cut extra-high at the waist. He went high, but he also went low, with what looked like treated silky nylon patched square-cut drop-crotch pants in white. Double-lapel-detail deconstructed suits in washed denim or a silky black viscose were pretty cool too. Taverniti is trying to extend himself beyond the streetwear milieu with which he is associated by divesting his clothes of any contemporary decorative clutter: The silhouettes left standing looked good. What lurks in the dark? What sinister instincts lie dormant, waiting to arise? Where does the capacity for masculine moral villainy begin? If you are a man, you know. I loved this on-the-face-of-it dull Undercover offering because it asked questions of the masculine state we now jazz-hand away with fake rhetoric. It was a collection that interrogated a man’s private knowledge of his worst but most vital instincts his knowledge of himself expressed while dressed as a devil, beautifully. More significant than the Nosferatu silhouettes at the front, or the plentiful Cindy Sherman reproductions at the back, where the spider’s web pleating in the middle of this collection. Trapped by our own urges, it reflected the Dylan Thomas quote on the invitation: “I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me.” To his credit, designer Jun Takahashi said post-show that these violent urges were something he recognized in himself. His rejection of the easy tropes of streetwear for the polished affectation of sartorialism spoke volumes. The clothes were just souvenirs, really, but important ones. Relics of age of masculine devilment that should no longer hold terror or sway. Move on, move up. He also realized that “not spending” would keep from occurring, all of that economic activity that would otherwise result from spending. “Not spending” would prevent from being promoted all of that economic activity that would be creating new wealth and preserving already existing wealth. Keynes realized that not only would “not spending” prevent the production of new wealth, but would also lead to the decay and loss of much our economic infrastructure, further reducing overall wealth.

Printed vintage Versace fragrance ads on t-shirts and denim were yet another archival flourish. There was a fun, provocative sensuality in the slightly kicky jersey pants worn below tailoring which came in black or leopard print and floral versions in vertical rib-knit, and a carefully thought through and Flint-inflected riff on post-punk in workwear pieces that smashed check against denim. The complementary women’s looks mostly legs-to-there Versace standard mind-melters added extra turbo boost to this high energy Versace outing. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” the Pink Floyd track from the Wish You Were Here album, surged, volume up, as Pierpaolo Piccioli ran out to take his bow after his Spring 2020 Valentino menswear show. Completely apt Piccioli really is fashion’s crazy diamond, an authentic modern-day hippie who follows his own instincts, whether they’re deemed fashionable or not, and has thereby charmed and swept everyone along on his trips to wherever. This time, it was to a place in his own head via the psychedelic porthole opened by ’70s prog-rock: “A fantastic journey into yourself, where you can find fantastic landscapes, and you don’t have boundaries,” he said. “When I was a kid, I was there, far from everything, and I want to keep that feeling when creating a collection because then you don’t limit your imagination.” There was a time when suburban boys in bedrooms everywhere would put their prog-rock albums on their record players and stare for hours at the album art, reading the meaning. That was Piccioli, for sure. One of the major delights at this grown-up successful stage of his life is that he can now not just meet his teenage heroes, but collaborate with them. This time he found Roger Dean, album cover artist of the ’70s, and asked him to make a comeback version of his airbrushed acid–sci-fi–impossible landscapes for this collection. Spending and wealth are certainly related and interact but they are still independent variables. They must be accounted for with a model with two degrees of freedom. I believe that all sorts of misunderstandings of macroeconomics have resulted from the attempt to combine wealth and income so that they are one variable with one degree of freedom. I am saying, that in order to describe the economy as it really is, we must have a model where income and wealth are accounted for by two variables, not one. Buy this shirt:  Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Pirate boat shirt Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt A scary character walking in with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirt What’s more,I will buy this “police” was wearing a shirt, a tie stamped with a Global Mind Fuck logo, a conference sticker reading “Hello I am Capitalism,” and a MAGA cap. Wait, no, a red baseball cap with For Rent embroidered on it. Rent? Large For Rent signs appeared on the backs of jackets, too. What did that signify? All the things you can imagine when you see it, about the desperation of a generation willing to do anything to get paid or the hollowed-out husks of men with no moral scruples about moving capital around. Along the way, the root of all evil itself popped up, too, stamped on T-shirts in the form of dollar bills with redesigned text that read: “I Am the Piece of Paper That Controls Your Entire Life.” Gvasalia had explained earlier that the uniforms were based on Russian police wear. “I love uniforms. We wanted to design a Vetements uniform and kind of try to meme it into fashion.” Well, is mimicking the guises of a system with a few savage twists and puns a way of getting under its skin? Gvasalia remembers turning up at an event as a student, “something I knew [I] had no real hope of getting into,” but he was wearing a piece of a secondhand uniform, and found people stepping aside to wave him in. “Because they assumed I was a security guard.” That’s amusing. But can Gvasalia have it both ways: participating in the novelty-driven production cycle of the fashion industry, while criticizing it? At the beginning of Vetements, the idea of using the preexisting led to recycling jeans, cutting pieces from many sources into one. That’s still going on at Vetements, by the look of it. Plus the mounded-up print collaged dresses another Gvasalia signature really are made from leftover Vetements fabrics. The For Rent signs, he said, also posed the question about ownership of clothes “in the future.” Well, that’s already happening out there. How meta would it be if Vetements fans end up renting Vetements For Hire clothes? He wasn’t making any claims to be completely committing to the circular economy. Yet. But surely that will come for Vetements and everyone a change forced on brands by youthful followers who increasingly choose to place their dollars with ethical operators. Looking at this I realized that spending does not directly cause a change in the level of wealth. It is only the net production of wealth that affects the level of wealth. And even though spending and the economic activity it promotes can lead to the production of wealth, a given amount of spending and income does not absolutely or uniquely determine the amount of net production that occurs.

Today, the covered-yet-open-air terrace of a Sorbonne University building was a game-changer; what a difference a breeze makes! The models didn’t need to be trail running or BMX biking two of the extreme sports that inspired Yosuke Aizawa this season for the audience to imagine guys wearing his high-impact looks off the runway. The Tokyo-based designer explained that he imbues pieces with a “discord ambiance,” which might mean anything from a T-shirt boasting overlaid letters spelling nothing to Gore-Tex outerwear paired with linen pants. These “coincidences,” as he also called them, were a way of integrating pieces that wouldn’t normally be found in either athletic attire or streetwear think classic shirting adapted with technical straps and pleated shorts that looked more like skorts. Aizawa goes through phases of favoring bold prints, and today’s lush and color-saturated botanicals might have been his boldest yet. If common sense would suggest these have limited interest, the designer has pointed out before that people are very happy to experiment beyond black (although those pieces too were hardly boring). Plaid, animal spots, paisley, and painterly camo made for a particularly dynamic lineup of active eccentrics guys who not only sported next-level sneaker designs, but also a smear of colorful eye makeup. Compared to the Sacai show earlier in the day, White Mountaineering isn’t perceived with the same cachet despite many overlapping elements (both mastered their soundtracks, it should be said). Make no mistake, Aizawa’s vision is his own and if athleisure trends start to shift towards these dandy-ish mash-ups, we’ll have him to thank. Walter Van Beirendonck called the clothes in this showing of kinky sportswear deluxe “Alien Vintage” and said that the collection was designed to attire his fantasy community of extraterrestrials. As he mused in his notes: “I pictured being introduced to a small part of the alien folk, a community with such a limitless diversity of forms and looks.” Those forms included four-armed biped, as evinced by outfits with two extra sleeves below the armpit, and aliens with fearsomely hunky quads as per the cool gathered baggy pants in primary-color nylon.

Once you looked beyond the crowd-pleasing Mad Max: Fury Road cosplay and the cool-looking band (named The Entire Universe) with a Plein-flavored Stevie Nicks-alike (from a distance) on the back of a flatbed (their attire gave me weird Plein-does-Slimane vibes), the clothes that unfolded around the cacophony of background noise represented a development. Plein has shifted his focus from hip hop, his first love, to rock. There was clearly a deal struck with Kiss, whose angled logo featured on the boob- and butt-covering patches on sheer minidresses for women and a plethora of biker jackets for men. There were considerably more women’s looks here than menswear, and following the recruitment of a new design team—they represented a tangible advance. Plein might not need to acquire Cavalli to become Roberto’s true inheritor of blingy animalist and totally unsubtle sexy-sexy dressing he can just do it himself. The menswear was a rocky remix of Plein tropes enlivened by mismatched studded sneakers and some pretty sleekly cut Animalia bikers made cheesy yet still compelling in their cheesiness by fluoro color flashes against the predominant black. By the time the designer emerged, air-playing a flamethrower with a guitar attached, we were only an hour after the start time. As Ice Cube once put it: “I can’t believe today was a good day.” Jewelry was extremely important. Status was often portrayed through the style of jewelry one wore. Ancient Egyptian women believed jewelry made them appear more appealing to the gods so even the poor women in the Egyptian society adorned themselves with as many jewels as they could. They often wore bracelets, necklaces, rings, fanciful buttons, earrings, neck collars, and pendants. The higher class a person was, the more gold and precious gems they would use in the making of the jewelry. The most common gems were Turquoise – a greenish-blue gem, Lapiz-lazuli – a brilliantly bright blue gem, and Carnelian – a smooth reddish-brown stone. The lower class would still decorate in lots of bulky jewelry, although they used pottery beads or glassware for decoration rather than gems.

It would have been so dreamy to be able to hang around for the whole enchilada that promised via repeat performance and barbecue to be a fun evening. Held on the roof of a garage in the 9th arrondissement, the sun was still high and bright. In every direction but for the south around us was spread the infinite patchwork of Paris’s panorama. What blocked the southern aspect was a photographed replica of the view beyond, upon which was printed with the view, with the insertion of some new futuristic buildings two new towers by the Eiffel with alien ergonomic windows and walkways. Slightly to the east, the Pompidou had somehow been tripled in size. In front of the backdrop was a floor of boulder-strewn sand. When the rehearsal started, orchestrated by Stéphane Ashpool with an already-sunburned neck, we saw a sort of future-pagan tribe in flowing white and metallic raiments emerge. Behind started up the most awesome music urgent, mystic, blissed-out future jazz overseen by Kamaal Williams (with Alina Bzhezhinska on harp, Rick Leon James on bass, and Nathaniel Fuller on percussion). The first looks mixed patched robes with drawstring-shirred parkas and loose green organza pants that flapped like prayer flags in the breeze in a sort of Sun-Ra-meets-Logan’s-Run-meets-Buck-Rogers vibe. Then a group of dancers in powerfully colored double-faced pajama suits emerged and made patterns with movement around the first looks before a maypole ritual with strips of fabric. Next up were some looks by Ashpool proteges Theo Each-Cheikh and Yacine Keita, whom he has long mentored and now given creation space in his atelier. Finally were three Pigalle x Nike looks complete with Jumpmans and Jordans applied as a final flourish in a show interrupted only by a handsome dog that wandered onto the runway halfway through before being tenderly ejected by the designer. At the age of six, women start to wear clothes. Status was important in ancient Egypt. The higher the position, the thinner the material. Unlike men, women wore more conservative clothes. They wore full-length, straight dresses with one or two shoulder straps, with very little sewing, if any. These dresses, depending on the period, would lie below the breast, but most often covered the chest. Buy this shirt:  Super Bowl Champions 2021 I am a Chiefs Fan now and forever shirt Sloth Valentine slothmates forever shirt The girlishness and sweetness of those paillette scarves and embroidered shirts were replaced with an almost erotic purity the Sloth Valentine slothmates forever shirt Also,I will get this idea of fetishizing a thing as perfect as it is, unadorned in a simple cotton or loose leather. The clothes were essentials in the most classic sense of menswear twills, tweeds, shirting, sportswear, khaki but oversize or misplaced in their proportion to reveal, say, a bare collarbone in a baby dollish tank, or to accentuate the strangeness of wearing a cropped jacket over a blazer in the same material. Together the looks comprised all the musts of a traditional male wardrobe, recut with the freewheeling spirit of boyhood. But a Prada show is never one-note. The stated reason for this Shanghai show was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Milan being named a sister city of the Chinese cosmopolis. The reality is that business in China is booming. Over two days of touring the city’s hubs, it was impossible to miss a Prada store or billboard. In reviving its Linea Rossa business, the company has struck gold with a younger, more streetwear-inclined consumer. Perhaps that’s what gave birth to a series of prints of antiquated technology. A roll of film here, a cassette tape there, a ‘50s soda-pop joint milkshake later on all of these pieces appeared as a single graphic or as a grid of many on trendy nylon. As the models walked past an audience clad in last season’s Frankenstein-patterned pieces, you could see the commercial appeal. To be sinister, or sales-minded, though, is not the larger message. Zoom all the way out like, decades of menswear out and this collection could read as a pivotal moment for Prada. For a long time, its menswear shows were about medium-rise straight pant, a button-up polo shirt, and a loose anorak. Where did it go? I look around me quickly, pretty sure I look like a witch at the moment with my crazy mess of a hair. And I spotted it, laying there on the ground underneath the shoes of the merciless, hungry girls. I rushed to take it and looked at it to see that it’s covered with shoe marks all over. I may have survived the battle but it didn’t.. But given the mess that my hair was, I had to put that filthy piece of fabric on my head and withdraw to at least enjoy this piece of pizza… and think of a better way to get breakfast the next day.

Placed on a pedestal table in the middle of the gallery space, as those happy families looked on, were two of Private Policy’s “gun bags”: little clip-on bags that resembled gun holsters. Considering that Asian Americans—and all Americans—are in the midst of a gun-control crisis and a spike in mass shootings, the design, however accidental, was ill-advised. The young designers are still sorting out their place and position in the fashion industry, and they’d be wise to make absolutely sure that their inspiring message is consistent across the board. Li and Qu have great potential, and as long as they keep their social and cultural activism running on one seamless track, they’ll make a big impact. The new menswear director at Pringle of Scotland, Giuseppe Marretta, joined the house of argyle following a five-year stretch as head of design, knit, and jersey (womenswear) at Giorgio Armani. Speaking at the company’s presentation in Paris, Marretta said: “The first thing that I had in mind when I was designing this collection was to bring some fun to menswear. When things are too serious, it’s boring…so I wanted to bring fun though color and through revisiting British culture through my Italian eyes, and to work via an incredible inspiration as David Hockney is, both as an icon of style and an artist.” Hockney has many fans in fashion Michael Kors, Christopher Bailey at Burberry, Jacquemus, JW Anderson, Fendi, Olympia Le-Tan, Paul Smith, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, Ellery, and John Galliano are just a few labels that have also used his verve and art as inspiration for collections. And in September 2008 Clare Waight Keller dedicated a collection of womenswear to a bigger splash for no lesser house than Pringle of Scotland. I still remember it as clear as day. I had to dive right into battle if I wanted to find something to eat. Even if it meant having people’s filthy hands rubbing all over my body. I was starving. Hunger makes you take risks. So I jumped right into it. I ran towards the mass of girls twisting their hands to reach the window. I shoved my body forcefully into the tight spaces between them, plugging my nose to avoid the stench spreading from all these raised arms. But I had to keep going !! I had to eat. Buy this shirt:  Patrick boat LIV we’re coming home Super Bowl LV Buccaneers shirt My VP looks like me women african American black girl shirt Sometimes, watching a Simons show can feel like sitting an exam or trying to crack a cryptic crossword. His work is exclusionary to the My VP looks like me women african American black girl shirt also I will do this extent that you need to be a qualified Raf-ologist to understand what it means. This time, he refused to speak after the show to give any gloss on his meaning and layered references. Maybe he didn’t trust himself to answer questions about why the set was populated with standard office chairs, bound in black plastic tape. Or to add anything to what could be read, partially or wholly, in his textual graphics. Was one recurring motif. And on the back necks of many garments: “My Own Private Antwerp.” To be fair, it wasn’t a question of Simons lobbing criticism of Trump’s America from afar, now that he’s living back in Belgium. He’d been critical enough about the political atmosphere of Trump’s America while he was working at Calvin Klein, what with his American Psycho and other horror movie thematics. Now, though, after a couple of seasons when he’d diverted his energies into exploring a certain European elegance in his own collection, his raw anger against the power of corporate USA was back with a vengeance. His boys seemed to belong to some underground crew maybe the last surviving boys on Earth, possibly the victims or maybe the perpetrators of some toxic social endgame. There were more text labels reading “RS-LAB,” which explained the lab coats, but why the hospital gowns? Why boxer shorts and padded gloves that looked as if they might be made for handling radioactive chemicals? Styling and heavy meaning apart and this might sound frivolous, considering—it was also a plumb-center commercial collection for all of Raf Simons’s fans, of whatever age. The arty, painted T-shirts, the leather coats, the colorful baggy sweatshirts and overshirts. Whatever post-American psychological fallout is going on in Simons’s life, it hasn’t affected his ability to serve his faithful audience. Maybe it’s improved it. As much as the Duchess recycles her outfits, for special evenings, Catherine splurges on a new gown made to fit her. She wouldn’t want to be at a banquet and see another woman wearing the same exact dress, so she is wearing a gown made just for her. Knock-offs might be made afterwards, but nothing will equal what she wore on that night, when the tiaras gleamed and everyone wore their best.

A palette of soft tonal colors, a slightly vintage insouciance, a fluidity of fit and balance of proportions come to mind when thinking of Purple Label’s signature aesthetic. Yet at today’s presentation at the label’s sumptuous Milanese headquarters, what stood out was a gorgeous, visually compelling lineup of brightly colored evening suits in shades of saturated yellow, fuchsia, and orange. Slim fitting and sharply cut in silk shantung, they looked exceptional, pointing towards an updated approach, with a zest of chic playfulness: “They’re tailored with a lighter construction, but still maintaining sartorial proportions,” said John Wrazej, executive vice president and creative director of men’s design. “They’re all handmade; it’s our uncompromising way of tailoring. They’re probably among the best suits you can find.” The collection also played on sophistication in the daywear offer, with tailoring in proprietary soft-toned wool-gabardine exuding a luxurious yet relaxed feel. An interesting alternative for summer evenings was a single-breasted cashmere blazer in a dense, sensual tobacco shade; paired with cream-colored fluid pants, “it’d look beautiful with a tan,” suggested Wrazej. A sporty allure featured prominently in a series of knitted intarsia sweaters and polo shirts with marine-inspired motifs, while nautical references were in evidence in officer’s jackets, wide-leg pants, and striped sweaters. But the most innovative aspect the collection were the RLX technical performance fabrics used for roomy, well-cut waterproof parkas and sailing jackets. “It’s nylon, a polyester yarn made using recycled plastic bottles,” explained Wrazej. ”It’s completely high-performance. The company is taking a strong stand towards going sustainable. For Fall we’ll have a lot more sustainable fabrics; probably 80 percent of our nylons and insulations will be made with sustainable yarns,” he continued. “The issue is front and center across the company, with very strict guidelines that over the next four or five years we’ll be shifting the label towards a much more environmentally conscious approach, even in manufacturing.” From that initial exciting experience it was not very long where I again felt the irresistible urge to try on my sister’s panties and a slip. Following a second experience I knew within myself that I would not be able to resist the temptation to try on panties and a slip again. My life from that point would include dressing up in panties and a slip whenever the opportunity presented, and when I experimented with a bra I then wanted to try on a skirt, stockings and then a dress. My sister had the most gorgeous assortment of very pretty panties and slips which was so enticing.

As he said at the top, however, Owens’s relationship with those roots is abstract—and that abstraction was reflected in the collection. One prosaic reason for this is he only revisited his mother’s homeland this year, for the first time in 30. Another is that—just as in the last-season cycle of awesome Larry Legaspi shows—his themes are, ultimately, just one of the raw materials in a creative clay that is every season shaped by his design and in his own image.  Silhouettes were full, and the assembly of pieces used to achieve them what the designer called a “potpourri” was eclectically and raffishly combined. “What I really wanted to express was the free soul of the artist, and how he creates his own elegance,” said Curradi backstage. “There were elements mixed from the ’90s, the ’80s, and the ’40s.” The result was a collection that did all the hard work in conjuring an aura of insouciant panache so its wearers won’t have to. Salut! This is why the several tons of damp clay taken from the L.A. studio of British artist Thomas Houseago who has a statue currently installed in the center of the Palais de Tokyo courtyard as part of his “Almost Human” show at the Musee de l’Art Moderne made for such a fitting addition to this show’s mise-en-scène. Houseago, Owens reported, had been on set to oversee the installation of the clay and even ended up creating a small sculpture (one that Owens fully intended to pinch, fire, and add to his collection). Since hitting commercial success with pop-worthy printed camp shirts, Mrs. P has dared to design well beyond her menswear signatures, producing short-shorts and tightly belted blazers, and now loose tanks and shorts with zippers up the side seam. It’s a real treat to see her explore proportion and intention in menswear with the same pointedness she brings to her women’s shows. No wonder the guests in Shanghai went wild. By the way, on the wealth axis, increasing the money supply can reduce other money’s buying power, but only if that newly created money got into a position where it is actively being used for direct spending of goods services, labor and other desired outcome….. and only if the amount of things sold increased at a rate slower that the rate of increase in spending.

Some models wore cast metal rivets, or carried hatches and axes also cast in metal: It was unclear whether these “accessories” would be sold too.

When asked about the difference between making fashion and the production of art, Ruby said: “In many respects, outside of the logistics of putting together the collection and the garments in the kind of production of it I don’t see it as any different to making a sculpture or painting.” He added of making objects that are worn: “I kinda find that more rewarding. Not that I mind if somebody has a painting and hangs it on the wall, but it is fun to think of something going out into the world, and moving, and being something for people to see.” And will this be an every-season thing? “I think 15 minutes ago I may not have been able to say yes or no, but now…yes! It might not be seasonal, but I will do it again.” America’s most interesting new fashion designer is also one of its most prolific and successful contemporary artists. We were privileged to see those two worlds meet in a manger in Florence tonight. The experimentation doesn’t stop there. For the first time in Geller’s career, he is using sequins on tanks, trousers, and shorts. “I wanted to get myself out of my comfort zone,” he explains. It’s a funny way of putting it; the backs of the sequin garments are actually made of nylon ripstop, so they are comfortable to sit in. Even with a fantastical mood haunting this season, amplified by wigs by Chrystoph Marten, Geller can’t help but be pragmatic. I have dressed for nearly 30 years now having begun when I was 15 when I started experimenting. It commenced with my sisters silky nylon panties and her nylon and lace slips, and continued to progress to bras, silky sheer stockings, skirts, blouses, dresses and high heel shoes.

If it seems she’s itching to experiment, she’s also still doing so within her own familiar framework. In this space, where constructive criticism is always encouraged, perhaps the last word belongs to The Dude, whose quote appears on another T-shirt this season. “Yeah, well, that’s your own opinion, then.” Immediately after the show, held in a 19th-century hay manger, we hacks clustered into a room below that had originally been a horse shelter, the better to gaze at this fully-fledged fashion thoroughbred—no, this seeming unicorn of fashion who had suddenly appeared before us. “That,” said Suzy Menkes, “was the best new-person collection I have ever seen.” Behind her, Pierre Rougier’s eyes widened at the compliment paid to his client by that most dauntless journalist, who has probably witnessed more collections than the rest of us put together. Sterling Ruby is certainly one of the most charming runway debutants ever—not at all up himself—and this collection was true of an outstanding standard for a first-timer. However, it must be conceded that while a new person at the end of a runway, Ruby comes to the game with credentials no other debut designer has ever possessed. For not only does he have 33 years of clothes-making experience (he first started with a sewing machine at age 13), but he is also an internationally renowned millionaire contemporary artist with a mighty aesthetic back-catalog to mine. Famously (at least in fashion), he was first collected by and then later became a friend of Raf Simons, with whom he collaborated recently for Calvin Klein (draw the veil), and also earlier for a 2014 Simons collection. As Ruby told W Magazine that year of his experience at the show: “Everybody was standing up, cheering. At that moment I thought, ‘Fuck being an artist—this is wonderful.’ ” Well, they are being sold by “specialist” Surf shops AS swimwear, so I suppose they are. Knowing the problems people have with relatively “conventional” bikinis where swimming’s concerned, I don’t think they’d be really suitable for anything other than the casual dip – doing laps might result in more time managing “wardrobe malfunctions” than spent swimming, and I gather from those who like this sort of thing that they aren’t that comfortable to really swim in anyhow.

The shorts, which have been a mainstay of his women’s collections from the very beginning, made their men’s debut, as ragged denim cut-offs paired with a lean pinstriped jacket or an oversize trench. The blown-up proportions of the latter underscored the softer, looser—sensual, even—approach Vaccarello took here. It was a first for him, an indication he’s finding his comfort level with his men’s while also being able to dig in and challenge himself. “I love it now,” he said. “It might sound selfish to say this, but I really project myself into the pieces. I’m trying everything on.” Even, he said, the finale looks, a terrific line-up of super-wide, super-fluid black pants, in gauzy knit or crushed pleated silk, billowing and flowing from a high and often belted waist. Vaccarello showed them as the gray-skied swelling Pacific Ocean finally slid into darkness, but it looked a whole lot more like him seeing things in a new light. For all the ideas that Chitose Abe brought to these men’s and women’s collections, nothing was as surprising as her shout-out to The Big Lebowski. Sure, we have now come to expect fashion’s supreme remixer to place quotes within her collections; but “The rug really tied the room together” from the cult film felt especially left-field like some sort of creative non-sequitur. Could it be that Abe equates her signature hybridization to the rug? Not quite. Backstage, we learned that it was the “tying together” part that interested her and that she did this with two “familiar” pieces rather than her usual clashed combos. Wardrobe archetypes gray suit, a trench, a tuxedo, her standby MA1 jacket all figured in this new exercise, which gave the impression of a more dressed-up lineup, even if each look registered the same swingy nonchalance as always. Two of the highlights came right at the start: the tuxedo shirt and pants fused into a roomy dress, undone bowtie included, followed by the reworkings of suit jackets and shirts. Some looks were tied together based on proportions; see the mini MA1 vest over an inside-out jacket or else doubled-up denim jackets. Interestingly, the looks embellished with sequins gave off the same trace of grunge as some of the more obvious sun-struck flannels and mountaineering pants made in collaboration with Gramicci. Towards the end, men’s looks presented permutations of matching shirts and jackets in superpositions that would require buying both to achieve the same effect.

The word backstage doesn’t really fit the LIV 2021 Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs go Chiefs Snoppy and friends shirt What’s more,I will buy this Palazzo Vecchio’s sumptuously frescoed courtyard, where the pre-show mayhem was in full swing. “No fashion show has ever been allowed in Piazza Della Signoria before,” said Andrew. “So this is definitely a major first.” It was also the first show with the designer in the role of creative director of both the men’s and women’s lines, and the first time that Ferragamo staged a fashion show in its hometown of Florence. The label contributed to the recently completed restoration of the majestic Fountain of Neptune, which dominates Piazza Della Signoria, the city’s beating heart. “It was this idea of coming home for Ferragamo,” said Andrew. “I thought, how epic would it be doing my first men’s show during Pitti, which celebrates its 30 birthday this year, with this spectacular fountain as a backdrop.” A little ego trip definitely goes a long way. Though everyone thought the idea was bonkers, Andrew persisted and lots of lengthy negotiations with the city mayor ensued. “And voilà! Here we are,” he exclaimed. To top this magnificent location, only a fashion show in Rome’s Saint Peter’s Square would do, but negotiating with the Pope would probably be a much trickier matter. As an homage to the city, a series of prints abstracting Neptune’s impressively toned torso graced a series of loose shirts and lightweight parachute parkas in delicate pastel hues. The charming, rather feminine color palette neutral tones breaking into more vibrant shades of sky blue and orange, softened by hints of lavender, mint, and periwinkle was one of the distinctive traits of the collection, which revolved around workwear templates rethought with a more formal, luxe flair, but without losing a sense of lightness. I would just like to point out that the money supply is part of the total wealth. The amount of total wealth that the money supply comprises can vary considerably, but if one wanted to figure out the real value of the money supply, then like any other form of wealth, we can use the inflation rate. So for example, if we had a money supply of 22 million dollars in the current year, it would be worth 20 million dollars 5 years ago, and its contribution to the total real wealth of the current year would be 20 million dollars. In real terms, 22 million dollars today is equal to 20 million dollars in the anchor year. Buy this shirt:  LIV 2021 Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs go Chiefs Snoppy and friends shirt
