LIV American football Super Bowl shirt Because of the LIV American football Super Bowl 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:  LIV American football Super Bowl shirt LGBT kiss me I’m gay or Irish or drunk or whatever Gnome beer shirt The girlishness and sweetness of those paillette scarves and embroidered shirts were replaced with an almost erotic purity the LGBT kiss me I’m gay or Irish or drunk or whatever Gnome beer shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love 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:  Kansas City Chiefs Kingdom Legend Champions AFC West Team Football shirt Kansas City Chiefs Jet Chip Wasp Super Bowl 2020 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 Kansas City Chiefs Jet Chip Wasp Super Bowl 2020 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:  Kansas City Chiefs Jet Chip Wasp Super Bowl 2020 shirt Accounting Student No Sleep No Money No life T Shirt Perry Ellis has a lot going for it in 2019. The brand recently launched the Accounting Student No Sleep No Money No life T Shirt But I will love this nostalgia-soaked diffusion line called Perry Ellis America, made up exclusively of archival pieces plucked from its ’80s heyday. Think: color-blocked windbreakers, logo’d hoodies, and track pants. (Justin and Hailey Bieber are already fans.) As for the mainline, Perry Ellis has always been a brand known for its prints, and the “look” of this summer was indisputably a boldly printed camp shirt. Guys wore them over T-shirts and girls wore them with bike shorts; it’s a happily unisex trend. Creative Director Michael Maccari said the women in his office frequently shop the collection, and they’ve likely called dibs on the Spring 2020 shirts that mimic abstract paintings. Those shirts merged Maccari’s two key influences: the Luca Guadagnino film A Bigger Splash (set in Sicily and starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes) and the artwork of David Hockney. Maccari was designing the collection last fall, just after one of Hockney’s famous swimming pool paintings sold for $90 million, making him the priciest living artist in history (though he was surpassed by Jeff Koons in May). Hockney’s crisp, deeply saturated paintings of water and nature informed the painterly prints, while the artist’s own preppy style informed the “nerdy” knit polos. Those items were bright spots in a classic-leaning collection. The news in suiting and 9-to-5 staples tend to be smaller tweaks at Perry Ellis, like changing the scale of a stripe or applying a special treatment to a suit to make it machine-washable. The guys (and girls) who are drawn to the more fun, vibrant printed shirts will likely skip the business stuff and consider the more casual pieces, like a buttery-soft garment-dyed twill chore jacket. Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off. I have no issues with the top except for not having some kind of closure. These types of tops are annoyingly difficult to get on and off, especially if you’ve got a large bust. (Plus think about how much fun it is to quickly grab the tie-ends of a bikini top and give them a good tug – off it goes!) The overall sporty tank shape of the top is not my favorite but it works perfectly fine for some. Buy this shirt:  Accounting Student No Sleep No Money No life T Shirt Jack Skellington hug I have selective hearing I’m sorry you were not selected shirt There’s nothing like a good Philipp Plein show to round off a super-long, super-Saturday of Milan shows. And this was nothing like a good Philipp Plein show. Joke! In fact, this Plein outing was perfectly bearable, and the Jack Skellington hug I have selective hearing I’m sorry you were not selected shirt it is in the first place but clothes whisper it had some redeeming features. Following January’s blessedly straightforward reset, at which the centrally located runway featured The Killers and a not-killer but okay collection, Munich’s most famous Ferrari-favoring mountain-buying no longer an infant but eternally terrible Swiss-based (for tax reasons) fashion iconoclast had apparently got the message. This was another show full of bombast and performance, but it zinged along promptly. Unless the looming lightning on the horizon ended things early, it looked like the after-party that was shaping up when we left was going to be fun (for those in the mood). The crowd that was apparently watching from the balcony of the Fondazione Prada alongside were probably not in that mood. Part of Plein’s shtick has always been that he is here to storm the ivory towers such as that Fondazione of fashion. Tonight he sounded like the grizzliest gatekeeper of them all as he spoke at impassioned length of the dangers of over-discounting something that certain shareholder driven online wholesale retailers (naming no names) favor boosting short-term revenue results—in affecting the overall perception of a brand. He was passingly scurrilous, on the purpose of course, about labels that are not his own, but it is not Vogue Runway’s job to stir the pot on others’ behalf. Another subject we got into was his reported efforts to acquire the Roberto Cavalli brand. These turn out to be true, and were the subject, he said, of four months’ focus, but have, for reasons too niche and potentially litigious to Regardless of what era, the material was always very simple and usually white. They liked the dresses to have a lot of style to them, such as pleating. In the Old Kingdom, they usually wore horizontal pleating, whereas, in the New Kingdom, it was generally vertical. During the Middle Kingdom, pleating was much more extensive. Sometimes it would be horizontal with vertical pleating overlapping. How they achieved this pleated look is unknown. During the New Kingdom period it became fashionable for dresses to be pleated or draped. Occasionally women would have feathers and beading across the chest area, but mostly the cloth was bare. They decorated their clothes with details using feather, embroidery, sequin and pieces of jewellery to make them more attractive to the gods and headdresses. Buy this shirt:  Jack Skellington hug I have selective hearing I’m sorry you were not selected shirt In Jesus name I play guitar shirt The major starting point for the In Jesus name I play guitar shirt In addition,I will do this collection, Vaccarello said at a preview, was Marrakech in the ’70s (YSL was a habituée) reimagined as 21st-century Los Angeles, a city that resides on Vaccarello’s own emotional landscape. (He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process. Buy this shirt:  In Jesus name I play guitar shirt If your rice is too wet you fucked up shirt That made it difficult for Marretta to find much fresh water. For instance, we’d seen the If your rice is too wet you fucked up shirt Besides,I will do this pool-dappled pattern—which is very attractive—not just at Kors’s Hockney-hashing collection, but also this season at MSGM (in a collection simply enough about summer). Yet that’s not to conclude this was an altogether poor debut from Marretta, who clearly has some serious knitwear petrol in his engine following his time in Milan. The double-face wool-blend track pants and rib-knit sweaters in violently opposing lifeguard-uniform yellow and red were, as he said, fun. So were his pieces of reversible outerwear in checks that mashed Prince of Wales against argyle, which matched his a-lot-like-Birkenstock sandals. The intarsia-homage diving-figure sweater was cute. But if Marretta is going to revisit British culture through his Italian eyes, he should either do it in a completely new manner or find lesser explored but still visually compelling aspects of the culture he has moved from Armani to dive into. “I am no longer an artist; I have become a work of art,” spoke a voiceover in the middle of Prada’s Spring 2020 men’s shoe, held, for the first time off home turf, in Shanghai. (Typically Miuccia Prada prefers to show her collections in the Fondazione Prada in Milan or at her New York office.) Later, the same voice said, “I feel myself a god.” Mrs. Prada has long maintained a reverent relationship with art, supporting and collaborating with her favorite creators, without ever formally declaring herself among their ranks—no word on the god situation. So, what were we to make of the statements pronounced, at techno speed, over a blue-lit runway at the Minsheng Art Wharf? To those at home in the Pradaverse, the words, lifted from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome, were Prada subversion at its best. In the show notes unlike her in situ shows, Mrs. P did not assemble journalists for a debrief the collection was described as one of optimism, suggesting that being hopeful can be an antidote for accepting the darkness of our actuality. It’s a continuation of the themes she launched at her recent women’s Resort show in New York, but when presented on male models, it took on a kinkier edge.  I fought my way, using the advantage of having a small body, bending, and shoving until I got there. Okay, I think I see it! The window that a teacher stands behind. I extended my hand with the money, gasping for breath as two big girls squished me from both sides. Buy this shirt:  If your rice is too wet you fucked up shirt I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt Thus far, the I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt But I will love this shows this week have been a series of experiences. There’s been a bat mitzvah, a supper club performance by Janelle Monáe (with an invite stating a black-and-white dress code, no less), and a moving gospel choir performance inside one of Brooklyn’s oldest, most storied theaters. Some on the circuit is already ringing the death knell for the traditional runway show format, and frankly, the differentiation has helped spice things up on the newly condensed calendar. Private Policy, a label based between Shanghai and New York from Chinese designers Haoran Li and Siying Qu, did the same, opting to show their Spring 2020 unisex label with a live model presentation at a SoHo gallery alongside a series of portraits photographed by Shxpir Huang. After Fashion Week, space will turn into a pop-up shop. The images feature real Asian-American families who all styled themselves in the latest Private Policy lineup, which includes their signature checkered pattern applied to the lapels of baby pink and seafoam green skirt- and short-suit sets. There were cool, raver-Esque harness tops and ring-detailed slip dresses, along with Li and Qu’s usual streetwear tees. They’ve titled their collection “Family Dinner,” and the idea was to highlight the often emotionally intense experience of an Asian-American family gathering around food. More forward-thinking youth will sometimes clash with the elders who are tied to their generational, conservative ideologies. The portraits of the families are meant to showcase just how varied Asian-American families can be: They can have older kids, both the mother and father can work, or two Asian men can get married and start their own family together. That last example is of great importance to Li and Qu, as they want to challenge gender bias and LGBTQ discrimination in their own culture, both at home and in America. I admire Catherine re-wearing so many beautiful dresses. She even has her children wearing hand-me-downs, which is wonderful and practical, but I love the times when all the men and ladies bring out their finest clothes and have their hair styled and royalty exudes a brilliance that Hollywood cannot recreate. Those State dinners are full of glitz and glam, and watching the royals wear their sashes and special pins, which are full of meaning, is otherworldly, almost. Nothing compares. Buy this shirt:  I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt For years, Marcus Wainwright talked up Rag & Bone’s connection to the I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt and I will buy this street, emphasizing the off-duty IRL-ness of the clothes. The design team wasn’t inattentive to trends, but it certainly didn’t follow them obsequiously. Tried-and-true essentials were the order of the day. So it was no small development to hear Wainwright say at a visit to the brand’s showroom that there’s “a call for more ‘pushed’ fashion on the men’s side.” As ever at R&B, the foundations are British tailoring, American workwear, a strong Japanese aesthetic most notable via fabrications, and a sports element. But as promised, those foundations were heightened this time around. See the pinstriping on a well-cut coat and the eye-catching color-blocking on strict military shirts, cargo pants, and tennis sweaters. The bomber with “44” embroidered on the arm that President Obama wore to a college basketball game back in February, nearly breaking the Internet in the process, was cut with a new floral-print lining made from Japanese indigo (and sans the 44 detail). Wainwright and co. made excellent use of fabrics sourced from Japan. Pull-on pants in faded indigo cotton managed to look both fashionable and essential at the same time. He should add them to the Rag & Bone women’s collection, for sure.  Rage and alienation: is this Raf Simons’s comfort zone, the place which connects him back, as a 51-year-old man, to the teenage experience his work continually fetishizes? Well, Simons doesn’t have to play nice to any bosses anymore. After his exit from Calvin Klein, he reports only to himself. And what the free Raf Simons wants to say is exactly how much he accuses and despises corporate America. Quite apart from the slogans, it was there rather clearly, breaking through on the soundtrack, a voice which intoned, “Big lie…media America, corporate America…fascist America.” Yes, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, does wear custom made gowns for special occasions when the ladies pull out their tiaras and jewels and high heels. For the State Dinner at Buckingham Palace, Catherine wore a white ruffled gown by Alexander McQueen. No recycled outfits for a night like this. Buy this shirt:  I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt Houseago was just one in a chorus of creative voices that harmonized around this collection. Although there were some very overtly personal and Mexican touches, such as sequins reflecting China Poblana festival wear and the I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt Furthermore, I will do this Aztec Eagle logo of the United Farm Workers’ association, for whose Mexican migrant pickers Owens’s father often worked as a translator in the California courts (these garments and a piece of jewelry will be sold to benefit the UFW), he said he was very careful to avoid the folkloric side of Mexican culture. Instead, he said, he had become fascinated with the effect of Mexican culture on the work of Josef and Anni Albers, the subject of a recent-ish show at the Guggenheim. Owens expounded: “I loved that combination of modernism with something so ancient. Looking at the drawings they made that were inspired by the sites was the Mexico angle I wanted.” With the exception of some Perspex-heeled platforms and rough tire-sole cowskin sandals that caused much trepidation as the models descended steps while keeping their eyes fixed on the pit, it was also a collection abrim with highly wearable pieces. Personally I loved the cotton jackets in a black and white set with austere, angled grids of ribbon and lacing, which was sometimes reflected in a riot of lacing on a Veja collab sneaker and looped into the fabric of some loose wool track pants. The sequins incorporated one-color oversize tailoring and looked pleasingly sleazy, while metallic-finished outerwear boasted a brutal industrial shimmer. In collaboration with Champion, Owens primitivized its cotton jersey via transformation into togas and loincloths. Zippered jumpsuits, some half-worn to optimize ab exposure, looked toughly utilitarian, while short-hemmed tailored jackets in white snakeskin over low-neck loose T-shirts and white sequined zippered pants appeared twistedly slick especially when teamed with a pompadour. According to Josef Albers, “in art, tradition is to create, not to revive,” and in this highly artful collection, we saw an outstanding expression of the tradition in the clothing created by Owens. The convenient accessibility to my sister’s lingerie paved the way for me to experiment which I inevitably did when home alone one day. Whilst it was a most exciting and somewhat of a nerve-wracking experience due to it being my first experience trying on panties and a slip, I was also thrilled at how the panties felt and how they looked on me when I checked in the mirror. The nylon and lace slip enhanced even further the delightful silky feeling of the silky nylon panties. The two layers of silky nylon lingerie felt so wonderfully good I did not want to take them off. Buy this shirt:  I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt I battle the angel of death what do you do shirt Robert Geller is about to embark on a yearlong sabbatical to Portugal with his family, taking a pause from the I battle the angel of death what do you do shirt But I will love this New York fashion world for a bit. The connection between Geller’s stepping back from the circus of fashion and his circus-themed Spring 2020 collection isn’t that direct he says he started to think of the circus and Sarah Moon’s hazy photographs on a flight last year but it’s hard not to draw a comparison. Even without the pomp and circumstance of a show, Geller is making some of American fashion’s most show-stopping menswear. As always, his base is his materials and dyes. In the former category, he has incorporated spandex into more of his fabrications, inspired by his ongoing collaboration with Lululemon. Geller’s comfortable, athletic garments have only become more agile. Even more invigorating is his new palette. Rather than labor over an exact shade of sandstone or clay, as he often does, Geller’s ditched his earth tones this season in favor of something more fabulous. The slime green stripes that cut through a nylon coat or the metallic azures that make up a shimmering suit are far more electric than what we’ve come to expect from the earthy designer. But if it’s not evident yet, Geller is ready for a change.  Federico Curradi is finding his groove at Rochas. This annoyingly standing-format show (how to type?) was packed full of engaging all-organic garments, soft and flowing, and bohemian. Curradi said he’s trying to make an artist’s wardrobe and who doesn’t want to look like an “artist,” right? Since decamping to Paris from Florence, he’s tried to suffuse himself in Frenchness, and for this collection consulted Ed van der Elsken’s Love on the Left Bank and Helena Janeczek’s The Girl With the Leica what a story with which to conjure atmospheric touches to his garments. Inspired by Gerda Taro’s bravery and resolve (if you don’t know it, please Google her story; it’s amazing), he incorporated soft embroidery detailing on weathered military-uniform-inspired trenches and shirting in silk and cotton. Noticing my sisters panties and slips on the clothesline drying after washing and my mother neatly folding her panties and ironing her slips after the washing was brought in, kept building my interest and gave me persisting thoughts about panties and slips until it reached the stage where inexorably I felt compelled to explore trying on panties and a slip. Buy this shirt:  I battle the angel of death what do you do shirt Heart crusher Valentine shirt Most of this, though, was derived directly from the Heart crusher Valentine shirt it is in the first place but work emerging from Ruby’s sprawling California studio complex. The printed dresses and shirting featured imagery of candles and weeds shot by Ruby’s wife, Melanie Schiff. One model wore a vinyl tabard bearing the lurid coverwork of a book entitled Hex, a 1972 examination of pow-wow and murder in the Pennsylvania Dutch community amidst which he was partially raised. This childhood influence presumably also influenced the Mennonite-style dresses in bleached denim. Ruby said the stalagmite-like U.S. flag decals on his denim pieces reflected certain sculpted works; Ruby-philes will doubtless recognize many more entanglements between his artistic body of work and the beginning of this new one as they look at these clothes. Arguably the boldest element of all on show tonight was the act of a famed contemporary artist transitioning into the world of fashion design. Fashion traditionally tugs its forelock at contemporary art, while contemporary art is happy to take fashion’s sponsorship cash and revel in its assumed superiority in the creative hierarchy. Ruby, conversely, seems to be genuinely enthused by this new aspect of his practice, and who is to say his fashion will not prove as lucrative as his art? This “collection” is, in fact, not one but four collections: Some pieces went immediately on sale, see-now-buy-now style, and are presumably the fashion equivalents of print editions. Buy this shirt:  Heart crusher Valentine shirt Guitar Uke I am your father noooo shirt Fast-forward to tonight—via a 2016 exhibition in London’s Sprüth Magers gallery of battered, bleached, dyed, and color-spattered denim—and Ruby has finally engineered his own wonderful moment. He is a manic, super-scale collagist, and as well as the Guitar Uke I am your father noooo shirt moreover I love this many themes drawn from his own personal journey, there were echoes here of Simons in some silhouettes and also of Rick Owens’s meaningfully meditative primitivism, especially in the semi-rigid ponchos made of a patchwork of mixed materials that came piped with a sort of selvedge time-stamp to act as a mark of provenance. This was part of a careful dedication to captioning-by-label prevalent not only in Ruby’s gallery home world, but also in the work of Virgil Abloh (who was in attendance).

Actually, it’s a concept very much connected with Salvatore Ferragamo’s original philosophy; he was ahead of the game, using materials and experimenting with shapes never done before, but always rendered with the extraordinary artisanal finesse. Working alongside the company’s men’s design director Guillaume Meilland, Andrew kept the play on shapes neat and graceful, infused with a kind of restrained gloss. Volumes were sleek and just slightly oversize, to highlight a dynamic sense of ease. The same spirit was also reflected in the women’s looks, almost with a unisex approach. Georgina Grenville looked gorgeous in a softly tailored periwinkle shorts suit, but it would’ve been equally smart on the actor Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, Ralph and Joseph Fiennes’s genetically blessed nephew, who closed the show and will be the face of the new Ferragamo advertising campaign. The young Fiennes was part of a diverse cast that included the actor Josh Lucas, the stunning model Cecilia Chancellor, Sotheby’s European chairman Michael Berger-Sandhofer, and art director extraordinaire Peter Saville. From the front row, Stanley Tucci, surrounded by a plethora of glamorous young celebrities, seemed rather pleased. Ever since Anthony Vaccarello landed at Saint Laurent in 2016 in fact, even before, with his own label he has always had a preference for staging his shows so that the audience sits on only one side of the runway, giving an uninterrupted view of the unfolding spectacle. For his Summer 2020 men’s shoe, his second for the house after last June’s ’70s opium-fest in NYC, it was business as usual, if it’s possible to call staging a show on an ebonized boardwalk runway atop a Malibu beach usual. (Nope, obviously not, not even for the likes of Keanu Reeves, LaKeith Stanfield, and Miley Cyrus, who sat front row.) . That doesn’t mean that the money supply was 20 million in the anchor year. Sizes of money supply can vary widely. Now accountings of wealth do not always have to include every possible type of form of wealth. You can do accountings of all the wealth, or any portion of it, any category of it. And when one is doing calculations of a given amount of any type or category of wealth, those valuations may vary widely depending of the method used, and of course, subjectivity can always play a significant role.

The brand may have 200 points of sale today, but Chetrite prefers to think of the company as it was a decade ago, when he was dropping a few men’s pieces into the women’s flagship in the Marais. “I knew I wanted to cater to men the same way that the women’s brand did for women,” he said. By any measure, he has succeeded. For Spring, key pieces riff on nostalgia from less-complicated times (the Kennedy era springs to mind). Chetrite noted that inspiration might come from friends, an older brother, or photos from a family album dating to the ’50s or ’70s. Sandro’s sweet spot lands somewhere between American-style workwear and Euro retro elegance. A double-breasted suit might pick up on city-trader style, but canoodle with a Cubist- (or even Cuban-) inspired shirt. Modernized throwbacks include floods and darted pants. Soft pink and cerulean blue mixed with tobacco hues. A vintage finish on leather hints at a life lived to the hilt; a striped knit references softer, gentler times. Noting a preference for comfort of wear, colors that age well, and Milano knits, Chetrite muses, “When I go to work in the morning, to my mind we’re a small boutique.” That said, he acknowledges that success comes with a side of pressure. Sandro is rising to the occasion with a new menswear flagship on Prince Street in New York, set to open mid-August all evidence points to a directional retail experiment. “The goal is to be new every season and to be loyal to ourselves,” Chetrite said. “But the real point is bringing pleasure to what you do every day.” And if you notice, the amount of wealth we are concerned with, when calculating the inflation rate, was not the total amount of wealth. It is only the total amount of wealth sold. Now if you wanted to calculate the “real” or inflation adjusted value of all the wealth existing in the present year. You would have to compare it to the total value that wealth would have in the anchor year. Using the inflation rate determined by comparing the difference in nominal spending this year as compared to the anchor year, as we did in our example above, would be one way to do it.

It’s nostalgia for past futures was, as he cheerily pointed out, a big influence here, along with what he described as “my love for ’90s post-punk new wave.” A German-Korean who studied architecture in Oxford and fell into fashion in New York, this designer’s identity lying beneath those layers of inspiration made for a collection in which the cacophony of references struck a fresh and interesting harmony. Soft modernist horn-buttoned suiting and shirting often collarless, sometimes kimono style—in silk charmeuse or worsted wool featured Gundam prints plus a smattering of velcro patching and strapping in order to allow the wearer to play around with the volume of his look and feel like some back-from-the-future badass. Hard vectors of seaming were stitched onto the gently contoured shirting and pants to deliver the dichotomy I’m was aiming for. This dystopian punk 3.0 note was counterpointed by a strong sportswear-rooted section that included a foldable Jedi-Esque poncho totally Tauntaun and some paneled short-shorting that set the thrust course of conversation direct to Berghain (I’m was getting ready for a visit). Whatever your reason for getting into I’m quad stretching or mind-bending—he presents a distinct menswear aesthetic that feels both future-proof (at least for now) and exactingly thought through. If you were looking into that “one value” for all the wealth sold, and wanted to account for wealth in “real terms”, then you are still likely to be measuring the value of the wealth in terms of a given currency. The value for any amount of wealth is measured in terms of what that currency buys at a certain point in time. To translate that into something we might call the real value of that wealth we have to ascertain how much of the same currency would be required to purchase that wealth in an “anchor year”. The ratio of the amount of money needed to purchase the current amount of wealth today versus the amount of money needed to buy the same amount of wealth in the anchor year, gives us the inflation rate. The total “real” wealth sold would a hundred million dollars. The value of wealth sold measured in terms of what that currency would buy in the anchor year is 100 million.

The importance of primary research is drilled into Central Saint Martins students—one reason that they visited “a lot of costume archives, and we liked the idea of replicating something we saw from the 15th century but with only 20 pence to do it.” So they printed scans of antique pieces onto canvas and cinched the fronts of jackets with cross-laced corseting. That was the start of putting together a coherently delightful top-to-toe look that tethered delicacy to a brilliant color sense: pink, lemon, red. The other part of the energy came from keeping eyes open on their first trip to New York Matchesfashion.com, early champions, took them to meet the press a few weeks ago. London kids looking at New York kids in the streets, they were impressed by the precise way guys in the city will pair sweatpants with something more flamboyant. It was plain to see that the hybrid jersey-trousers they came up with will be immediately leaped on; so too, everything they took forward with their “negative space” lattice-effect argyle sweaters. Being able to soar creatively while remaining grounded and in touch with reality is probably as much a mark of exceptional talent among young actors as it is with fashion designers. Either way, it’s about making a human connection. With Stefan Cooke and Jake Burt, it comes down to this: “We asked ourselves, what would we want to wear? We want to evolve this brand so it’s accessible to a lot of people.”  In fact, at the end of the answer above, I point out that one can try to define wealth as one total number, and have net production of wealth be added to the total wealth as one number. Or one can break up wealth into different categories and measure wealth by an accounting of all the different categories of wealth. If one looked for a single number defining the value of wealth, and if one decided to measure all wealth in nominal terms, the value of the money that is the preservation of the investment money would have the same value as it did when put into spending as investment.

There have been a lot of exercised quads on display. In New York, Theory’s Martin Andersson made his own contribution. Having taken tropical modernism as a starting point for his new Theory collection, he did a navy shorts suit, and also showed shorts with sportswear layers: A suede jacket topped a ribbed knit sweater, nylon anorak, and trim Bermuda. Andersson said this was a collection about texture. When the humidity spikes, the New York subways are a sweat factory and tailoring becomes a real turn-off. So he set about sourcing fabrics that can work in extreme temperatures. The company’s traceable “Good Linen” was blended with tech fabric for a modern touch on a “balsa”-color suit. And on another suit, he used paper nylon with a “crispy” hand texture that will be wilt resistant at any dew point. But his best idea for beating the heat where those shorts. Now that Wall Street has once and for all abandoned the suit and tie, could it embrace exposed dude knees? The American tradition of men’s dress from which Browne mines his material is via Ivy League, rooted in sport, and here there were Sportif accessories galore: basketball bags, soccer ball bags, football bags a lot of ball bags, basically. Some of the seersucker panniers worn on the shoulder lent a prettily garlanded, football-echoing bulk to the form within, and one exposed pannier skirt featured seersucker balls that rested between it and either side of the wearer’s hip. Browne is a highly popular designer among professional sports players, of course, and he explained today’s play thus: “I’ve always use sports as a reference, and today, playing with the severity of the 18th-century reference, grounding it in sports, was a way to bring it into the men’s world.”And since the decreased spending will probably reduce overall economic activity it is more likely to reduce “net production of wealth”, and not increase it, meaning, if savings equals investment plus net production, He is more likely to decrease overall savings than spending is. Increasing investment spending will increase the savings that is the preservation of investment, and it will via its multiplier effect further increase total spending. And this overall increase in spending is more likely to increase net production as well, especially if we have un or underutilized resources that the spending can cause to be activated in the wealth creation and preservation process.

As for the mainline, Perry Ellis has always been a brand known for its prints, and the “look” of this summer was indisputably a boldly printed camp shirt. Guys wore them over T-shirts and girls wore them with bike shorts; it’s a happily unisex trend. Creative Director Michael Maccari said the women in his office frequently shop the collection, and they’ve likely called dibs on the Spring 2020 shirts that mimic abstract paintings. Those shirts merged Maccari’s two key influences: the Luca Guadagnino film A Bigger Splash (set in Sicily and starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes) and the artwork of David Hockney. Maccari was designing the collection last fall, just after one of Hockney’s famous swimming pool paintings sold for $90 million, making him the priciest living artist in history (though he was surpassed by Jeff Koons in May). Hockney’s crisp, deeply saturated paintings of water and nature informed the painterly prints, while the artist’s own preppy style informed the “nerdy” knit polos. Those items were bright spots in a classic-leaning collection. The news in suiting and 9-to-5 staples tend to be smaller tweaks at Perry Ellis, like changing the scale of a stripe or applying a special treatment to a suit to make it machine-washable. The guys (and girls) who are drawn to the more fun, vibrant printed shirts will likely skip the business stuff and consider the more casual pieces, like a buttery-soft garment-dyed twill chore jacket. Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off.

Following January’s blessedly straightforward reset, at which the centrally located runway featured The Killers and a not-killer but okay collection, Munich’s most famous Ferrari-favoring mountain-buying no longer an infant but eternally terrible Swiss-based (for tax reasons) fashion iconoclast had apparently got the message. This was another show full of bombast and performance, but it zinged along promptly. Unless the looming lightning on the horizon ended things early, it looked like the after-party that was shaping up when we left was going to be fun (for those in the mood). The crowd that was apparently watching from the balcony of the Fondazione Prada alongside were probably not in that mood. Part of Plein’s shtick has always been that he is here to storm the ivory towers such as that Fondazione of fashion. Tonight he sounded like the grizzliest gatekeeper of them all as he spoke at impassioned length of the dangers of over-discounting something that certain shareholder driven online wholesale retailers (naming no names) favor boosting short-term revenue results—in affecting the overall perception of a brand. He was passingly scurrilous, on the purpose of course, about labels that are not his own, but it is not Vogue Runway’s job to stir the pot on others’ behalf. Another subject we got into was his reported efforts to acquire the Roberto Cavalli brand. These turn out to be true, and were the subject, he said, of four months’ focus, but have, for reasons too niche and potentially litigious to Regardless of what era, the material was always very simple and usually white.

During the Middle Kingdom, pleating was much more extensive. Sometimes it would be horizontal with vertical pleating overlapping. How they achieved this pleated look is unknown. During the New Kingdom period it became fashionable for dresses to be pleated or draped. Occasionally women would have feathers and beading across the chest area, but mostly the cloth was bare. They decorated their clothes with details using feather, embroidery, sequin and pieces of jewellery to make them more attractive to the gods and headdresses. Buy this shirt:  Educated motivated vaccinated shirt Eat Sleep Kansas City Repeat football Champions shirt The major starting point for the Eat Sleep Kansas City Repeat football Champions shirt moreover I will buy this collection, Vaccarello said at a preview, was Marrakech in the ’70s (YSL was a habituée) reimagined as 21st-century Los Angeles, a city that resides on Vaccarello’s own emotional landscape. (He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process.

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.

His work is exclusionary to the Kansas City Chiefs Jet Chip Wasp Super Bowl 2020 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:  Jack Skellington hug I have selective hearing I’m sorry you were not selected shirt In Jesus name I play guitar shirt The major starting point for the In Jesus name I play guitar shirt In addition,I will do this collection, Vaccarello said at a preview, was Marrakech in the ’70s (YSL was a habituée) reimagined as 21st-century Los Angeles, a city that resides on Vaccarello’s own emotional landscape. (He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process.

For instance, we’d seen the If your rice is too wet you fucked up shirt Besides,I will do this pool-dappled pattern—which is very attractive—not just at Kors’s Hockney-hashing collection, but also this season at MSGM (in a collection simply enough about summer). Yet that’s not to conclude this was an altogether poor debut from Marretta, who clearly has some serious knitwear petrol in his engine following his time in Milan. The double-face wool-blend track pants and rib-knit sweaters in violently opposing lifeguard-uniform yellow and red were, as he said, fun. So were his pieces of reversible outerwear in checks that mashed Prince of Wales against argyle, which matched his a-lot-like-Birkenstock sandals. The intarsia-homage diving-figure sweater was cute. But if Marretta is going to revisit British culture through his Italian eyes, he should either do it in a completely new manner or find lesser explored but still visually compelling aspects of the culture he has moved from Armani to dive into. “I am no longer an artist; I have become a work of art,” spoke a voiceover in the middle of Prada’s Spring 2020 men’s shoe, held, for the first time off home turf, in Shanghai. (Typically Miuccia Prada prefers to show her collections in the Fondazione Prada in Milan or at her New York office.) Later, the same voice said, “I feel myself a god.” Mrs. Prada has long maintained a reverent relationship with art, supporting and collaborating with her favorite creators, without ever formally declaring herself among their ranks—no word on the god situation. So, what were we to make of the statements pronounced, at techno speed, over a blue-lit runway at the Minsheng Art Wharf? To those at home in the Pradaverse, the words, lifted from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome, were Prada subversion at its best. In the show notes unlike her in situ shows, Mrs. P did not assemble journalists for a debrief the collection was described as one of optimism, suggesting that being hopeful can be an antidote for accepting the darkness of our actuality. It’s a continuation of the themes she launched at her recent women’s Resort show in New York, but when presented on male models, it took on a kinkier edge.  I fought my way, using the advantage of having a small body, bending, and shoving until I got there. Okay, I think I see it! The window that a teacher stands behind. I extended my hand with the money, gasping for breath as two big girls squished me from both sides. Buy this shirt:  If your rice is too wet you fucked up shirt I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt Thus far, the I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt But I will love this shows this week have been a series of experiences. There’s been a bat mitzvah, a supper club performance by Janelle Monáe (with an invite stating a black-and-white dress code, no less), and a moving gospel choir performance inside one of Brooklyn’s oldest, most storied theaters. Some on the circuit is already ringing the death knell for the traditional runway show format, and frankly, the differentiation has helped spice things up on the newly condensed calendar. Private Policy, a label based between Shanghai and New York from Chinese designers Haoran Li and Siying Qu, did the same, opting to show their Spring 2020 unisex label with a live model presentation at a SoHo gallery alongside a series of portraits photographed by Shxpir Huang. After Fashion Week, space will turn into a pop-up shop. The images feature real Asian-American families who all styled themselves in the latest Private Policy lineup, which includes their signature checkered pattern applied to the lapels of baby pink and seafoam green skirt- and short-suit sets. There were cool, raver-Esque harness tops and ring-detailed slip dresses, along with Li and Qu’s usual streetwear tees. They’ve titled their collection “Family Dinner,” and the idea was to highlight the often emotionally intense experience of an Asian-American family gathering around food. More forward-thinking youth will sometimes clash with the elders who are tied to their generational, conservative ideologies. The portraits of the families are meant to showcase just how varied Asian-American families can be: They can have older kids, both the mother and father can work, or two Asian men can get married and start their own family together. That last example is of great importance to Li and Qu, as they want to challenge gender bias and LGBTQ discrimination in their own culture, both at home and in America. I admire Catherine re-wearing so many beautiful dresses. She even has her children wearing hand-me-downs, which is wonderful and practical, but I love the times when all the men and ladies bring out their finest clothes and have their hair styled and royalty exudes a brilliance that Hollywood cannot recreate. Those State dinners are full of glitz and glam, and watching the royals wear their sashes and special pins, which are full of meaning, is otherworldly, almost. Nothing compares. Buy this shirt:  I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt For years, Marcus Wainwright talked up Rag & Bone’s connection to the I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt and I will buy this street, emphasizing the off-duty IRL-ness of the clothes. The design team wasn’t inattentive to trends, but it certainly didn’t follow them obsequiously. Tried-and-true essentials were the order of the day. So it was no small development to hear Wainwright say at a visit to the brand’s showroom that there’s “a call for more ‘pushed’ fashion on the men’s side.” As ever at R&B, the foundations are British tailoring, American workwear, a strong Japanese aesthetic most notable via fabrications, and a sports element. But as promised, those foundations were heightened this time around. See the pinstriping on a well-cut coat and the eye-catching color-blocking on strict military shirts, cargo pants, and tennis sweaters. The bomber with “44” embroidered on the arm that President Obama wore to a college basketball game back in February, nearly breaking the Internet in the process, was cut with a new floral-print lining made from Japanese indigo (and sans the 44 detail). Wainwright and co. made excellent use of fabrics sourced from Japan. Pull-on pants in faded indigo cotton managed to look both fashionable and essential at the same time. He should add them to the Rag & Bone women’s collection, for sure.  Rage and alienation: is this Raf Simons’s comfort zone, the place which connects him back, as a 51-year-old man, to the teenage experience his work continually fetishizes? Well, Simons doesn’t have to play nice to any bosses anymore. After his exit from Calvin Klein, he reports only to himself. And what the free Raf Simons wants to say is exactly how much he accuses and despises corporate America. Quite apart from the slogans, it was there rather clearly, breaking through on the soundtrack, a voice which intoned, “Big lie…media America, corporate America…fascist America.” Yes, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, does wear custom made gowns for special occasions when the ladies pull out their tiaras and jewels and high heels. For the State Dinner at Buckingham Palace, Catherine wore a white ruffled gown by Alexander McQueen. No recycled outfits for a night like this. Buy this shirt:  I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt Houseago was just one in a chorus of creative voices that harmonized around this collection. Although there were some very overtly personal and Mexican touches, such as sequins reflecting China Poblana festival wear and the I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt Furthermore, I will do this Aztec Eagle logo of the United Farm Workers’ association, for whose Mexican migrant pickers Owens’s father often worked as a translator in the California courts (these garments and a piece of jewelry will be sold to benefit the UFW), he said he was very careful to avoid the folkloric side of Mexican culture. Instead, he said, he had become fascinated with the effect of Mexican culture on the work of Josef and Anni Albers, the subject of a recent-ish show at the Guggenheim. Owens expounded: “I loved that combination of modernism with something so ancient. Looking at the drawings they made that were inspired by the sites was the Mexico angle I wanted.” With the exception of some Perspex-heeled platforms and rough tire-sole cowskin sandals that caused much trepidation as the models descended steps while keeping their eyes fixed on the pit, it was also a collection abrim with highly wearable pieces. Personally I loved the cotton jackets in a black and white set with austere, angled grids of ribbon and lacing, which was sometimes reflected in a riot of lacing on a Veja collab sneaker and looped into the fabric of some loose wool track pants. The sequins incorporated one-color oversize tailoring and looked pleasingly sleazy, while metallic-finished outerwear boasted a brutal industrial shimmer. In collaboration with Champion, Owens primitivized its cotton jersey via transformation into togas and loincloths. Zippered jumpsuits, some half-worn to optimize ab exposure, looked toughly utilitarian, while short-hemmed tailored jackets in white snakeskin over low-neck loose T-shirts and white sequined zippered pants appeared twistedly slick especially when teamed with a pompadour. According to Josef Albers, “in art, tradition is to create, not to revive,” and in this highly artful collection, we saw an outstanding expression of the tradition in the clothing created by Owens. The convenient accessibility to my sister’s lingerie paved the way for me to experiment which I inevitably did when home alone one day. Whilst it was a most exciting and somewhat of a nerve-wracking experience due to it being my first experience trying on panties and a slip, I was also thrilled at how the panties felt and how they looked on me when I checked in the mirror. The nylon and lace slip enhanced even further the delightful silky feeling of the silky nylon panties. The two layers of silky nylon lingerie felt so wonderfully good I did not want to take them off. Buy this shirt:  I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt I battle the angel of death what do you do shirt Robert Geller is about to embark on a yearlong sabbatical to Portugal with his family, taking a pause from the I battle the angel of death what do you do shirt But I will love this New York fashion world for a bit. The connection between Geller’s stepping back from the circus of fashion and his circus-themed Spring 2020 collection isn’t that direct he says he started to think of the circus and Sarah Moon’s hazy photographs on a flight last year but it’s hard not to draw a comparison. Even without the pomp and circumstance of a show, Geller is making some of American fashion’s most show-stopping menswear. As always, his base is his materials and dyes. In the former category, he has incorporated spandex into more of his fabrications, inspired by his ongoing collaboration with Lululemon. Geller’s comfortable, athletic garments have only become more agile. Even more invigorating is his new palette. Rather than labor over an exact shade of sandstone or clay, as he often does, Geller’s ditched his earth tones this season in favor of something more fabulous. The slime green stripes that cut through a nylon coat or the metallic azures that make up a shimmering suit are far more electric than what we’ve come to expect from the earthy designer. But if it’s not evident yet, Geller is ready for a change.  Federico Curradi is finding his groove at Rochas. This annoyingly standing-format show (how to type?) was packed full of engaging all-organic garments, soft and flowing, and bohemian. Curradi said he’s trying to make an artist’s wardrobe and who doesn’t want to look like an “artist,” right? Since decamping to Paris from Florence, he’s tried to suffuse himself in Frenchness, and for this collection consulted Ed van der Elsken’s Love on the Left Bank and Helena Janeczek’s The Girl With the Leica what a story with which to conjure atmospheric touches to his garments. Inspired by Gerda Taro’s bravery and resolve (if you don’t know it, please Google her story; it’s amazing), he incorporated soft embroidery detailing on weathered military-uniform-inspired trenches and shirting in silk and cotton. Noticing my sisters panties and slips on the clothesline drying after washing and my mother neatly folding her panties and ironing her slips after the washing was brought in, kept building my interest and gave me persisting thoughts about panties and slips until it reached the stage where inexorably I felt compelled to explore trying on panties and a slip. Buy this shirt:  I battle the angel of death what do you do shirt Heart crusher Valentine shirt Most of this, though, was derived directly from the Heart crusher Valentine shirt it is in the first place but work emerging from Ruby’s sprawling California studio complex. The printed dresses and shirting featured imagery of candles and weeds shot by Ruby’s wife, Melanie Schiff. One model wore a vinyl tabard bearing the lurid coverwork of a book entitled Hex, a 1972 examination of pow-wow and murder in the Pennsylvania Dutch community amidst which he was partially raised. This childhood influence presumably also influenced the Mennonite-style dresses in bleached denim. Ruby said the stalagmite-like U.S. flag decals on his denim pieces reflected certain sculpted works; Ruby-philes will doubtless recognize many more entanglements between his artistic body of work and the beginning of this new one as they look at these clothes. Arguably the boldest element of all on show tonight was the act of a famed contemporary artist transitioning into the world of fashion design. Fashion traditionally tugs its forelock at contemporary art, while contemporary art is happy to take fashion’s sponsorship cash and revel in its assumed superiority in the creative hierarchy. Ruby, conversely, seems to be genuinely enthused by this new aspect of his practice, and who is to say his fashion will not prove as lucrative as his art? This “collection” is, in fact, not one but four collections: Some pieces went immediately on sale, see-now-buy-now style, and are presumably the fashion equivalents of print editions.

He is a manic, super-scale collagist, and as well as the Guitar Uke I am your father noooo shirt moreover I love this many themes drawn from his own personal journey, there were echoes here of Simons in some silhouettes and also of Rick Owens’s meaningfully meditative primitivism, especially in the semi-rigid ponchos made of a patchwork of mixed materials that came piped with a sort of selvedge time-stamp to act as a mark of provenance. This was part of a careful dedication to captioning-by-label prevalent not only in Ruby’s gallery home world, but also in the work of Virgil Abloh (who was in attendance).

Actually, it’s a concept very much connected with Salvatore Ferragamo’s original philosophy; he was ahead of the game, using materials and experimenting with shapes never done before, but always rendered with the extraordinary artisanal finesse. Working alongside the company’s men’s design director Guillaume Meilland, Andrew kept the play on shapes neat and graceful, infused with a kind of restrained gloss. Volumes were sleek and just slightly oversize, to highlight a dynamic sense of ease. The same spirit was also reflected in the women’s looks, almost with a unisex approach. Georgina Grenville looked gorgeous in a softly tailored periwinkle shorts suit, but it would’ve been equally smart on the actor Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, Ralph and Joseph Fiennes’s genetically blessed nephew, who closed the show and will be the face of the new Ferragamo advertising campaign. The young Fiennes was part of a diverse cast that included the actor Josh Lucas, the stunning model Cecilia Chancellor, Sotheby’s European chairman Michael Berger-Sandhofer, and art director extraordinaire Peter Saville. From the front row, Stanley Tucci, surrounded by a plethora of glamorous young celebrities, seemed rather pleased. Ever since Anthony Vaccarello landed at Saint Laurent in 2016 in fact, even before, with his own label he has always had a preference for staging his shows so that the audience sits on only one side of the runway, giving an uninterrupted view of the unfolding spectacle. For his Summer 2020 men’s shoe, his second for the house after last June’s ’70s opium-fest in NYC, it was business as usual, if it’s possible to call staging a show on an ebonized boardwalk runway atop a Malibu beach usual. (Nope, obviously not, not even for the likes of Keanu Reeves, LaKeith Stanfield, and Miley Cyrus, who sat front row.) . That doesn’t mean that the money supply was 20 million in the anchor year. Sizes of money supply can vary widely. Now accountings of wealth do not always have to include every possible type of form of wealth. You can do accountings of all the wealth, or any portion of it, any category of it. And when one is doing calculations of a given amount of any type or category of wealth, those valuations may vary widely depending of the method used, and of course, subjectivity can always play a significant role. Buy this shirt:  Goats make me happy you not so much shirt Gnome hug USC Trojans shirt Sandro’s menswear category is moving fast; not only does the Gnome hug USC Trojans shirt moreover I will buy this brand have double-digit growth, but it also has big ambitions. “We’re always striving for just a touch of newness,” offered Ilan Chetrite, the founder and artistic director of Sandro Homme. The brand may have 200 points of sale today, but Chetrite prefers to think of the company as it was a decade ago, when he was dropping a few men’s pieces into the women’s flagship in the Marais. “I knew I wanted to cater to men the same way that the women’s brand did for women,” he said. By any measure, he has succeeded. For Spring, key pieces riff on nostalgia from less-complicated times (the Kennedy era springs to mind). Chetrite noted that inspiration might come from friends, an older brother, or photos from a family album dating to the ’50s or ’70s. Sandro’s sweet spot lands somewhere between American-style workwear and Euro retro elegance. A double-breasted suit might pick up on city-trader style, but canoodle with a Cubist- (or even Cuban-) inspired shirt. Modernized throwbacks include floods and darted pants. Soft pink and cerulean blue mixed with tobacco hues. A vintage finish on leather hints at a life lived to the hilt; a striped knit references softer, gentler times. Noting a preference for comfort of wear, colors that age well, and Milano knits, Chetrite muses, “When I go to work in the morning, to my mind we’re a small boutique.” That said, he acknowledges that success comes with a side of pressure. Sandro is rising to the occasion with a new menswear flagship on Prince Street in New York, set to open mid-August all evidence points to a directional retail experiment. “The goal is to be new every season and to be loyal to ourselves,” Chetrite said. “But the real point is bringing pleasure to what you do every day.” And if you notice, the amount of wealth we are concerned with, when calculating the inflation rate, was not the total amount of wealth. It is only the total amount of wealth sold. Now if you wanted to calculate the “real” or inflation adjusted value of all the wealth existing in the present year. You would have to compare it to the total value that wealth would have in the anchor year. Using the inflation rate determined by comparing the difference in nominal spending this year as compared to the anchor year, as we did in our example above, would be one way to do it.

It’s nostalgia for past futures was, as he cheerily pointed out, a big influence here, along with what he described as “my love for ’90s post-punk new wave.” A German-Korean who studied architecture in Oxford and fell into fashion in New York, this designer’s identity lying beneath those layers of inspiration made for a collection in which the cacophony of references struck a fresh and interesting harmony. Soft modernist horn-buttoned suiting and shirting often collarless, sometimes kimono style—in silk charmeuse or worsted wool featured Gundam prints plus a smattering of velcro patching and strapping in order to allow the wearer to play around with the volume of his look and feel like some back-from-the-future badass. Hard vectors of seaming were stitched onto the gently contoured shirting and pants to deliver the dichotomy I’m was aiming for. This dystopian punk 3.0 note was counterpointed by a strong sportswear-rooted section that included a foldable Jedi-Esque poncho totally Tauntaun and some paneled short-shorting that set the thrust course of conversation direct to Berghain (I’m was getting ready for a visit). Whatever your reason for getting into I’m quad stretching or mind-bending—he presents a distinct menswear aesthetic that feels both future-proof (at least for now) and exactingly thought through. If you were looking into that “one value” for all the wealth sold, and wanted to account for wealth in “real terms”, then you are still likely to be measuring the value of the wealth in terms of a given currency. The value for any amount of wealth is measured in terms of what that currency buys at a certain point in time. To translate that into something we might call the real value of that wealth we have to ascertain how much of the same currency would be required to purchase that wealth in an “anchor year”. The ratio of the amount of money needed to purchase the current amount of wealth today versus the amount of money needed to buy the same amount of wealth in the anchor year, gives us the inflation rate. The total “real” wealth sold would a hundred million dollars. The value of wealth sold measured in terms of what that currency would buy in the anchor year is 100 million.

The importance of primary research is drilled into Central Saint Martins students—one reason that they visited “a lot of costume archives, and we liked the idea of replicating something we saw from the 15th century but with only 20 pence to do it.” So they printed scans of antique pieces onto canvas and cinched the fronts of jackets with cross-laced corseting. That was the start of putting together a coherently delightful top-to-toe look that tethered delicacy to a brilliant color sense: pink, lemon, red. The other part of the energy came from keeping eyes open on their first trip to New York Matchesfashion.com, early champions, took them to meet the press a few weeks ago. London kids looking at New York kids in the streets, they were impressed by the precise way guys in the city will pair sweatpants with something more flamboyant. It was plain to see that the hybrid jersey-trousers they came up with will be immediately leaped on; so too, everything they took forward with their “negative space” lattice-effect argyle sweaters. Being able to soar creatively while remaining grounded and in touch with reality is probably as much a mark of exceptional talent among young actors as it is with fashion designers. Either way, it’s about making a human connection. With Stefan Cooke and Jake Burt, it comes down to this: “We asked ourselves, what would we want to wear? We want to evolve this brand so it’s accessible to a lot of people.”  In fact, at the end of the answer above, I point out that one can try to define wealth as one total number, and have net production of wealth be added to the total wealth as one number. Or one can break up wealth into different categories and measure wealth by an accounting of all the different categories of wealth. If one looked for a single number defining the value of wealth, and if one decided to measure all wealth in nominal terms, the value of the money that is the preservation of the investment money would have the same value as it did when put into spending as investment.

There have been a lot of exercised quads on display. In New York, Theory’s Martin Andersson made his own contribution. Having taken tropical modernism as a starting point for his new Theory collection, he did a navy shorts suit, and also showed shorts with sportswear layers: A suede jacket topped a ribbed knit sweater, nylon anorak, and trim Bermuda. Andersson said this was a collection about texture. When the humidity spikes, the New York subways are a sweat factory and tailoring becomes a real turn-off. So he set about sourcing fabrics that can work in extreme temperatures. The company’s traceable “Good Linen” was blended with tech fabric for a modern touch on a “balsa”-color suit. And on another suit, he used paper nylon with a “crispy” hand texture that will be wilt resistant at any dew point. But his best idea for beating the heat where those shorts. Now that Wall Street has once and for all abandoned the suit and tie, could it embrace exposed dude knees? The American tradition of men’s dress from which Browne mines his material is via Ivy League, rooted in sport, and here there were Sportif accessories galore: basketball bags, soccer ball bags, football bags a lot of ball bags, basically. Some of the seersucker panniers worn on the shoulder lent a prettily garlanded, football-echoing bulk to the form within, and one exposed pannier skirt featured seersucker balls that rested between it and either side of the wearer’s hip. Browne is a highly popular designer among professional sports players, of course, and he explained today’s play thus: “I’ve always use sports as a reference, and today, playing with the severity of the 18th-century reference, grounding it in sports, was a way to bring it into the men’s world.”And since the decreased spending will probably reduce overall economic activity it is more likely to reduce “net production of wealth”, and not increase it, meaning, if savings equals investment plus net production, He is more likely to decrease overall savings than spending is. Increasing investment spending will increase the savings that is the preservation of investment, and it will via its multiplier effect further increase total spending. And this overall increase in spending is more likely to increase net production as well, especially if we have un or underutilized resources that the spending can cause to be activated in the wealth creation and preservation process.

The brand recently launched the Fan Tampa Bay Buccaneers Football NFC Champions t-shirt Besides,I will do this nostalgia-soaked diffusion line called Perry Ellis America, made up exclusively of archival pieces plucked from its ’80s heyday. Think: color-blocked windbreakers, logo’d hoodies, and track pants. (Justin and Hailey Bieber are already fans.) As for the mainline, Perry Ellis has always been a brand known for its prints, and the “look” of this summer was indisputably a boldly printed camp shirt. Guys wore them over T-shirts and girls wore them with bike shorts; it’s a happily unisex trend. Creative Director Michael Maccari said the women in his office frequently shop the collection, and they’ve likely called dibs on the Spring 2020 shirts that mimic abstract paintings. Those shirts merged Maccari’s two key influences: the Luca Guadagnino film A Bigger Splash (set in Sicily and starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes) and the artwork of David Hockney. Maccari was designing the collection last fall, just after one of Hockney’s famous swimming pool paintings sold for $90 million, making him the priciest living artist in history (though he was surpassed by Jeff Koons in May). Hockney’s crisp, deeply saturated paintings of water and nature informed the painterly prints, while the artist’s own preppy style informed the “nerdy” knit polos. Those items were bright spots in a classic-leaning collection. The news in suiting and 9-to-5 staples tend to be smaller tweaks at Perry Ellis, like changing the scale of a stripe or applying a special treatment to a suit to make it machine-washable. The guys (and girls) who are drawn to the more fun, vibrant printed shirts will likely skip the business stuff and consider the more casual pieces, like a buttery-soft garment-dyed twill chore jacket. Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off. I have no issues with the top except for not having some kind of closure. These types of tops are annoyingly difficult to get on and off, especially if you’ve got a large bust. (Plus think about how much fun it is to quickly grab the tie-ends of a bikini top and give them a good tug – off it goes!) The overall sporty tank shape of the top is not my favorite but it works perfectly fine for some.

And this was nothing like a good Philipp Plein show. Joke! In fact, this Plein outing was perfectly bearable, and the Educated motivated vaccinated shirt and I love this clothes whisper it had some redeeming features. Following January’s blessedly straightforward reset, at which the centrally located runway featured The Killers and a not-killer but okay collection, Munich’s most famous Ferrari-favoring mountain-buying no longer an infant but eternally terrible Swiss-based (for tax reasons) fashion iconoclast had apparently got the message. This was another show full of bombast and performance, but it zinged along promptly. Unless the looming lightning on the horizon ended things early, it looked like the after-party that was shaping up when we left was going to be fun (for those in the mood). The crowd that was apparently watching from the balcony of the Fondazione Prada alongside were probably not in that mood. Part of Plein’s shtick has always been that he is here to storm the ivory towers such as that Fondazione of fashion. Tonight he sounded like the grizzliest gatekeeper of them all as he spoke at impassioned length of the dangers of over-discounting something that certain shareholder driven online wholesale retailers (naming no names) favor boosting short-term revenue results—in affecting the overall perception of a brand. He was passingly scurrilous, on the purpose of course, about labels that are not his own, but it is not Vogue Runway’s job to stir the pot on others’ behalf. Another subject we got into was his reported efforts to acquire the Roberto Cavalli brand. These turn out to be true, and were the subject, he said, of four months’ focus, but have, for reasons too niche and potentially litigious to Regardless of what era, the material was always very simple and usually white. They liked the dresses to have a lot of style to them, such as pleating. In the Old Kingdom, they usually wore horizontal pleating, whereas, in the New Kingdom, it was generally vertical. During the Middle Kingdom, pleating was much more extensive. Sometimes it would be horizontal with vertical pleating overlapping. How they achieved this pleated look is unknown. During the New Kingdom period it became fashionable for dresses to be pleated or draped. Occasionally women would have feathers and beading across the chest area, but mostly the cloth was bare. They decorated their clothes with details using feather, embroidery, sequin and pieces of jewellery to make them more attractive to the gods and headdresses. Buy this shirt:  Educated motivated vaccinated shirt Eat Sleep Kansas City Repeat football Champions shirt The major starting point for the Eat Sleep Kansas City Repeat football Champions shirt moreover I will buy this collection, Vaccarello said at a preview, was Marrakech in the ’70s (YSL was a habituée) reimagined as 21st-century Los Angeles, a city that resides on Vaccarello’s own emotional landscape. (He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process.

LIV American football Super Bowl shirt Because of the LIV American football Super Bowl 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:  LIV American football Super Bowl shirt LGBT kiss me I’m gay or Irish or drunk or whatever Gnome beer shirt The girlishness and sweetness of those paillette scarves and embroidered shirts were replaced with an almost erotic purity the LGBT kiss me I’m gay or Irish or drunk or whatever Gnome beer shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love 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:  LGBT kiss me I’m gay or Irish or drunk or whatever Gnome beer shirt Kansas City Chiefs Kingdom Legend Champions AFC West Team Football shirt But speaking of America, there was something that distracted from all of the Kansas City Chiefs Kingdom Legend Champions AFC West Team Football 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:  Kansas City Chiefs Kingdom Legend Champions AFC West Team Football shirt Kansas City Chiefs Jet Chip Wasp Super Bowl 2020 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 Kansas City Chiefs Jet Chip Wasp Super Bowl 2020 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:  Kansas City Chiefs Jet Chip Wasp Super Bowl 2020 shirt Accounting Student No Sleep No Money No life T Shirt Perry Ellis has a lot going for it in 2019. The brand recently launched the Accounting Student No Sleep No Money No life T Shirt But I will love this nostalgia-soaked diffusion line called Perry Ellis America, made up exclusively of archival pieces plucked from its ’80s heyday. Think: color-blocked windbreakers, logo’d hoodies, and track pants. (Justin and Hailey Bieber are already fans.) As for the mainline, Perry Ellis has always been a brand known for its prints, and the “look” of this summer was indisputably a boldly printed camp shirt. Guys wore them over T-shirts and girls wore them with bike shorts; it’s a happily unisex trend. Creative Director Michael Maccari said the women in his office frequently shop the collection, and they’ve likely called dibs on the Spring 2020 shirts that mimic abstract paintings. Those shirts merged Maccari’s two key influences: the Luca Guadagnino film A Bigger Splash (set in Sicily and starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes) and the artwork of David Hockney. Maccari was designing the collection last fall, just after one of Hockney’s famous swimming pool paintings sold for $90 million, making him the priciest living artist in history (though he was surpassed by Jeff Koons in May). Hockney’s crisp, deeply saturated paintings of water and nature informed the painterly prints, while the artist’s own preppy style informed the “nerdy” knit polos. Those items were bright spots in a classic-leaning collection. The news in suiting and 9-to-5 staples tend to be smaller tweaks at Perry Ellis, like changing the scale of a stripe or applying a special treatment to a suit to make it machine-washable. The guys (and girls) who are drawn to the more fun, vibrant printed shirts will likely skip the business stuff and consider the more casual pieces, like a buttery-soft garment-dyed twill chore jacket. Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off. I have no issues with the top except for not having some kind of closure. These types of tops are annoyingly difficult to get on and off, especially if you’ve got a large bust. (Plus think about how much fun it is to quickly grab the tie-ends of a bikini top and give them a good tug – off it goes!) The overall sporty tank shape of the top is not my favorite but it works perfectly fine for some.

And this was nothing like a good Philipp Plein show. Joke! In fact, this Plein outing was perfectly bearable, and the Jack Skellington hug I have selective hearing I’m sorry you were not selected shirt it is in the first place but clothes whisper it had some redeeming features. Following January’s blessedly straightforward reset, at which the centrally located runway featured The Killers and a not-killer but okay collection, Munich’s most famous Ferrari-favoring mountain-buying no longer an infant but eternally terrible Swiss-based (for tax reasons) fashion iconoclast had apparently got the message. This was another show full of bombast and performance, but it zinged along promptly. Unless the looming lightning on the horizon ended things early, it looked like the after-party that was shaping up when we left was going to be fun (for those in the mood). The crowd that was apparently watching from the balcony of the Fondazione Prada alongside were probably not in that mood. Part of Plein’s shtick has always been that he is here to storm the ivory towers such as that Fondazione of fashion. Tonight he sounded like the grizzliest gatekeeper of them all as he spoke at impassioned length of the dangers of over-discounting something that certain shareholder driven online wholesale retailers (naming no names) favor boosting short-term revenue results—in affecting the overall perception of a brand. He was passingly scurrilous, on the purpose of course, about labels that are not his own, but it is not Vogue Runway’s job to stir the pot on others’ behalf. Another subject we got into was his reported efforts to acquire the Roberto Cavalli brand.

For instance, we’d seen the If your rice is too wet you fucked up shirt Besides,I will do this pool-dappled pattern—which is very attractive—not just at Kors’s Hockney-hashing collection, but also this season at MSGM (in a collection simply enough about summer). Yet that’s not to conclude this was an altogether poor debut from Marretta, who clearly has some serious knitwear petrol in his engine following his time in Milan. The double-face wool-blend track pants and rib-knit sweaters in violently opposing lifeguard-uniform yellow and red were, as he said, fun. So were his pieces of reversible outerwear in checks that mashed Prince of Wales against argyle, which matched his a-lot-like-Birkenstock sandals. The intarsia-homage diving-figure sweater was cute. But if Marretta is going to revisit British culture through his Italian eyes, he should either do it in a completely new manner or find lesser explored but still visually compelling aspects of the culture he has moved from Armani to dive into. “I am no longer an artist; I have become a work of art,” spoke a voiceover in the middle of Prada’s Spring 2020 men’s shoe, held, for the first time off home turf, in Shanghai. (Typically Miuccia Prada prefers to show her collections in the Fondazione Prada in Milan or at her New York office.) Later, the same voice said, “I feel myself a god.” Mrs. Prada has long maintained a reverent relationship with art, supporting and collaborating with her favorite creators, without ever formally declaring herself among their ranks—no word on the god situation. So, what were we to make of the statements pronounced, at techno speed, over a blue-lit runway at the Minsheng Art Wharf? To those at home in the Pradaverse, the words, lifted from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome, were Prada subversion at its best. In the show notes unlike her in situ shows, Mrs. P did not assemble journalists for a debrief the collection was described as one of optimism, suggesting that being hopeful can be an antidote for accepting the darkness of our actuality. It’s a continuation of the themes she launched at her recent women’s Resort show in New York, but when presented on male models, it took on a kinkier edge.  I fought my way, using the advantage of having a small body, bending, and shoving until I got there. Okay, I think I see it! The window that a teacher stands behind. I extended my hand with the money, gasping for breath as two big girls squished me from both sides. Buy this shirt:  If your rice is too wet you fucked up shirt I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt Thus far, the I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt But I will love this shows this week have been a series of experiences. There’s been a bat mitzvah, a supper club performance by Janelle Monáe (with an invite stating a black-and-white dress code, no less), and a moving gospel choir performance inside one of Brooklyn’s oldest, most storied theaters. Some on the circuit is already ringing the death knell for the traditional runway show format, and frankly, the differentiation has helped spice things up on the newly condensed calendar. Private Policy, a label based between Shanghai and New York from Chinese designers Haoran Li and Siying Qu, did the same, opting to show their Spring 2020 unisex label with a live model presentation at a SoHo gallery alongside a series of portraits photographed by Shxpir Huang. After Fashion Week, space will turn into a pop-up shop. The images feature real Asian-American families who all styled themselves in the latest Private Policy lineup, which includes their signature checkered pattern applied to the lapels of baby pink and seafoam green skirt- and short-suit sets. There were cool, raver-Esque harness tops and ring-detailed slip dresses, along with Li and Qu’s usual streetwear tees. They’ve titled their collection “Family Dinner,” and the idea was to highlight the often emotionally intense experience of an Asian-American family gathering around food. More forward-thinking youth will sometimes clash with the elders who are tied to their generational, conservative ideologies. The portraits of the families are meant to showcase just how varied Asian-American families can be: They can have older kids, both the mother and father can work, or two Asian men can get married and start their own family together. That last example is of great importance to Li and Qu, as they want to challenge gender bias and LGBTQ discrimination in their own culture, both at home and in America. I admire Catherine re-wearing so many beautiful dresses. She even has her children wearing hand-me-downs, which is wonderful and practical, but I love the times when all the men and ladies bring out their finest clothes and have their hair styled and royalty exudes a brilliance that Hollywood cannot recreate. Those State dinners are full of glitz and glam, and watching the royals wear their sashes and special pins, which are full of meaning, is otherworldly, almost. Nothing compares. Buy this shirt:  I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt For years, Marcus Wainwright talked up Rag & Bone’s connection to the I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt and I will buy this street, emphasizing the off-duty IRL-ness of the clothes. The design team wasn’t inattentive to trends, but it certainly didn’t follow them obsequiously. Tried-and-true essentials were the order of the day. So it was no small development to hear Wainwright say at a visit to the brand’s showroom that there’s “a call for more ‘pushed’ fashion on the men’s side.” As ever at R&B, the foundations are British tailoring, American workwear, a strong Japanese aesthetic most notable via fabrications, and a sports element. But as promised, those foundations were heightened this time around. See the pinstriping on a well-cut coat and the eye-catching color-blocking on strict military shirts, cargo pants, and tennis sweaters. The bomber with “44” embroidered on the arm that President Obama wore to a college basketball game back in February, nearly breaking the Internet in the process, was cut with a new floral-print lining made from Japanese indigo (and sans the 44 detail). Wainwright and co. made excellent use of fabrics sourced from Japan. Pull-on pants in faded indigo cotton managed to look both fashionable and essential at the same time. He should add them to the Rag & Bone women’s collection, for sure.  Rage and alienation: is this Raf Simons’s comfort zone, the place which connects him back, as a 51-year-old man, to the teenage experience his work continually fetishizes? Well, Simons doesn’t have to play nice to any bosses anymore. After his exit from Calvin Klein, he reports only to himself. And what the free Raf Simons wants to say is exactly how much he accuses and despises corporate America. Quite apart from the slogans, it was there rather clearly, breaking through on the soundtrack, a voice which intoned, “Big lie…media America, corporate America…fascist America.” Yes, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, does wear custom made gowns for special occasions when the ladies pull out their tiaras and jewels and high heels. For the State Dinner at Buckingham Palace, Catherine wore a white ruffled gown by Alexander McQueen. No recycled outfits for a night like this. Buy this shirt:  I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt Houseago was just one in a chorus of creative voices that harmonized around this collection. Although there were some very overtly personal and Mexican touches, such as sequins reflecting China Poblana festival wear and the I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt Furthermore, I will do this Aztec Eagle logo of the United Farm Workers’ association, for whose Mexican migrant pickers Owens’s father often worked as a translator in the California courts (these garments and a piece of jewelry will be sold to benefit the UFW), he said he was very careful to avoid the folkloric side of Mexican culture. Instead, he said, he had become fascinated with the effect of Mexican culture on the work of Josef and Anni Albers, the subject of a recent-ish show at the Guggenheim. Owens expounded: “I loved that combination of modernism with something so ancient. Looking at the drawings they made that were inspired by the sites was the Mexico angle I wanted.” With the exception of some Perspex-heeled platforms and rough tire-sole cowskin sandals that caused much trepidation as the models descended steps while keeping their eyes fixed on the pit, it was also a collection abrim with highly wearable pieces. Personally I loved the cotton jackets in a black and white set with austere, angled grids of ribbon and lacing, which was sometimes reflected in a riot of lacing on a Veja collab sneaker and looped into the fabric of some loose wool track pants. The sequins incorporated one-color oversize tailoring and looked pleasingly sleazy, while metallic-finished outerwear boasted a brutal industrial shimmer. In collaboration with Champion, Owens primitivized its cotton jersey via transformation into togas and loincloths. Zippered jumpsuits, some half-worn to optimize ab exposure, looked toughly utilitarian, while short-hemmed tailored jackets in white snakeskin over low-neck loose T-shirts and white sequined zippered pants appeared twistedly slick especially when teamed with a pompadour. According to Josef Albers, “in art, tradition is to create, not to revive,” and in this highly artful collection, we saw an outstanding expression of the tradition in the clothing created by Owens. The convenient accessibility to my sister’s lingerie paved the way for me to experiment which I inevitably did when home alone one day. Whilst it was a most exciting and somewhat of a nerve-wracking experience due to it being my first experience trying on panties and a slip, I was also thrilled at how the panties felt and how they looked on me when I checked in the mirror. The nylon and lace slip enhanced even further the delightful silky feeling of the silky nylon panties. The two layers of silky nylon lingerie felt so wonderfully good I did not want to take them off.

The connection between Geller’s stepping back from the circus of fashion and his circus-themed Spring 2020 collection isn’t that direct he says he started to think of the circus and Sarah Moon’s hazy photographs on a flight last year but it’s hard not to draw a comparison. Even without the pomp and circumstance of a show, Geller is making some of American fashion’s most show-stopping menswear. As always, his base is his materials and dyes. In the former category, he has incorporated spandex into more of his fabrications, inspired by his ongoing collaboration with Lululemon. Geller’s comfortable, athletic garments have only become more agile. Even more invigorating is his new palette. Rather than labor over an exact shade of sandstone or clay, as he often does, Geller’s ditched his earth tones this season in favor of something more fabulous. The slime green stripes that cut through a nylon coat or the metallic azures that make up a shimmering suit are far more electric than what we’ve come to expect from the earthy designer. But if it’s not evident yet, Geller is ready for a change.  Federico Curradi is finding his groove at Rochas. This annoyingly standing-format show (how to type?) was packed full of engaging all-organic garments, soft and flowing, and bohemian. Curradi said he’s trying to make an artist’s wardrobe and who doesn’t want to look like an “artist,” right? Since decamping to Paris from Florence, he’s tried to suffuse himself in Frenchness, and for this collection consulted Ed van der Elsken’s Love on the Left Bank and Helena Janeczek’s The Girl With the Leica what a story with which to conjure atmospheric touches to his garments. Inspired by Gerda Taro’s bravery and resolve (if you don’t know it, please Google her story; it’s amazing), he incorporated soft embroidery detailing on weathered military-uniform-inspired trenches and shirting in silk and cotton. Noticing my sisters panties and slips on the clothesline drying after washing and my mother neatly folding her panties and ironing her slips after the washing was brought in, kept building my interest and gave me persisting thoughts about panties and slips until it reached the stage where inexorably I felt compelled to explore trying on panties and a slip.

One model wore a vinyl tabard bearing the lurid coverwork of a book entitled Hex, a 1972 examination of pow-wow and murder in the Pennsylvania Dutch community amidst which he was partially raised. This childhood influence presumably also influenced the Mennonite-style dresses in bleached denim. Ruby said the stalagmite-like U.S. flag decals on his denim pieces reflected certain sculpted works; Ruby-philes will doubtless recognize many more entanglements between his artistic body of work and the beginning of this new one as they look at these clothes. Arguably the boldest element of all on show tonight was the act of a famed contemporary artist transitioning into the world of fashion design. Fashion traditionally tugs its forelock at contemporary art, while contemporary art is happy to take fashion’s sponsorship cash and revel in its assumed superiority in the creative hierarchy. Ruby, conversely, seems to be genuinely enthused by this new aspect of his practice, and who is to say his fashion will not prove as lucrative as his art? This “collection” is, in fact, not one but four collections: Some pieces went immediately on sale, see-now-buy-now style, and are presumably the fashion equivalents of print editions.

He is a manic, super-scale collagist, and as well as the Guitar Uke I am your father noooo shirt moreover I love this many themes drawn from his own personal journey, there were echoes here of Simons in some silhouettes and also of Rick Owens’s meaningfully meditative primitivism, especially in the semi-rigid ponchos made of a patchwork of mixed materials that came piped with a sort of selvedge time-stamp to act as a mark of provenance. This was part of a careful dedication to captioning-by-label prevalent not only in Ruby’s gallery home world, but also in the work of Virgil Abloh (who was in attendance).

Actually, it’s a concept very much connected with Salvatore Ferragamo’s original philosophy; he was ahead of the game, using materials and experimenting with shapes never done before, but always rendered with the extraordinary artisanal finesse. Working alongside the company’s men’s design director Guillaume Meilland, Andrew kept the play on shapes neat and graceful, infused with a kind of restrained gloss. Volumes were sleek and just slightly oversize, to highlight a dynamic sense of ease. The same spirit was also reflected in the women’s looks, almost with a unisex approach. Georgina Grenville looked gorgeous in a softly tailored periwinkle shorts suit, but it would’ve been equally smart on the actor Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, Ralph and Joseph Fiennes’s genetically blessed nephew, who closed the show and will be the face of the new Ferragamo advertising campaign. The young Fiennes was part of a diverse cast that included the actor Josh Lucas, the stunning model Cecilia Chancellor, Sotheby’s European chairman Michael Berger-Sandhofer, and art director extraordinaire Peter Saville. From the front row, Stanley Tucci, surrounded by a plethora of glamorous young celebrities, seemed rather pleased. Ever since Anthony Vaccarello landed at Saint Laurent in 2016 in fact, even before, with his own label he has always had a preference for staging his shows so that the audience sits on only one side of the runway, giving an uninterrupted view of the unfolding spectacle. For his Summer 2020 men’s shoe, his second for the house after last June’s ’70s opium-fest in NYC, it was business as usual, if it’s possible to call staging a show on an ebonized boardwalk runway atop a Malibu beach usual. (Nope, obviously not, not even for the likes of Keanu Reeves, LaKeith Stanfield, and Miley Cyrus, who sat front row.) . That doesn’t mean that the money supply was 20 million in the anchor year. Sizes of money supply can vary widely. Now accountings of wealth do not always have to include every possible type of form of wealth. You can do accountings of all the wealth, or any portion of it, any category of it. And when one is doing calculations of a given amount of any type or category of wealth, those valuations may vary widely depending of the method used, and of course, subjectivity can always play a significant role. Buy this shirt:  Goats make me happy you not so much shirt Gnome hug USC Trojans shirt Sandro’s menswear category is moving fast; not only does the Gnome hug USC Trojans shirt moreover I will buy this brand have double-digit growth, but it also has big ambitions. “We’re always striving for just a touch of newness,” offered Ilan Chetrite, the founder and artistic director of Sandro Homme. The brand may have 200 points of sale today, but Chetrite prefers to think of the company as it was a decade ago, when he was dropping a few men’s pieces into the women’s flagship in the Marais. “I knew I wanted to cater to men the same way that the women’s brand did for women,” he said. By any measure, he has succeeded. For Spring, key pieces riff on nostalgia from less-complicated times (the Kennedy era springs to mind). Chetrite noted that inspiration might come from friends, an older brother, or photos from a family album dating to the ’50s or ’70s. Sandro’s sweet spot lands somewhere between American-style workwear and Euro retro elegance. A double-breasted suit might pick up on city-trader style, but canoodle with a Cubist- (or even Cuban-) inspired shirt. Modernized throwbacks include floods and darted pants. Soft pink and cerulean blue mixed with tobacco hues. A vintage finish on leather hints at a life lived to the hilt; a striped knit references softer, gentler times. Noting a preference for comfort of wear, colors that age well, and Milano knits, Chetrite muses, “When I go to work in the morning, to my mind we’re a small boutique.” That said, he acknowledges that success comes with a side of pressure. Sandro is rising to the occasion with a new menswear flagship on Prince Street in New York, set to open mid-August all evidence points to a directional retail experiment. “The goal is to be new every season and to be loyal to ourselves,” Chetrite said. “But the real point is bringing pleasure to what you do every day.” And if you notice, the amount of wealth we are concerned with, when calculating the inflation rate, was not the total amount of wealth. It is only the total amount of wealth sold. Now if you wanted to calculate the “real” or inflation adjusted value of all the wealth existing in the present year. You would have to compare it to the total value that wealth would have in the anchor year. Using the inflation rate determined by comparing the difference in nominal spending this year as compared to the anchor year, as we did in our example above, would be one way to do it.

It’s nostalgia for past futures was, as he cheerily pointed out, a big influence here, along with what he described as “my love for ’90s post-punk new wave.” A German-Korean who studied architecture in Oxford and fell into fashion in New York, this designer’s identity lying beneath those layers of inspiration made for a collection in which the cacophony of references struck a fresh and interesting harmony. Soft modernist horn-buttoned suiting and shirting often collarless, sometimes kimono style—in silk charmeuse or worsted wool featured Gundam prints plus a smattering of velcro patching and strapping in order to allow the wearer to play around with the volume of his look and feel like some back-from-the-future badass. Hard vectors of seaming were stitched onto the gently contoured shirting and pants to deliver the dichotomy I’m was aiming for. This dystopian punk 3.0 note was counterpointed by a strong sportswear-rooted section that included a foldable Jedi-Esque poncho totally Tauntaun and some paneled short-shorting that set the thrust course of conversation direct to Berghain (I’m was getting ready for a visit). Whatever your reason for getting into I’m quad stretching or mind-bending—he presents a distinct menswear aesthetic that feels both future-proof (at least for now) and exactingly thought through. If you were looking into that “one value” for all the wealth sold, and wanted to account for wealth in “real terms”, then you are still likely to be measuring the value of the wealth in terms of a given currency. The value for any amount of wealth is measured in terms of what that currency buys at a certain point in time. To translate that into something we might call the real value of that wealth we have to ascertain how much of the same currency would be required to purchase that wealth in an “anchor year”. The ratio of the amount of money needed to purchase the current amount of wealth today versus the amount of money needed to buy the same amount of wealth in the anchor year, gives us the inflation rate. The total “real” wealth sold would a hundred million dollars. The value of wealth sold measured in terms of what that currency would buy in the anchor year is 100 million.

The importance of primary research is drilled into Central Saint Martins students—one reason that they visited “a lot of costume archives, and we liked the idea of replicating something we saw from the 15th century but with only 20 pence to do it.” So they printed scans of antique pieces onto canvas and cinched the fronts of jackets with cross-laced corseting. That was the start of putting together a coherently delightful top-to-toe look that tethered delicacy to a brilliant color sense: pink, lemon, red. The other part of the energy came from keeping eyes open on their first trip to New York Matchesfashion.com, early champions, took them to meet the press a few weeks ago. London kids looking at New York kids in the streets, they were impressed by the precise way guys in the city will pair sweatpants with something more flamboyant. It was plain to see that the hybrid jersey-trousers they came up with will be immediately leaped on; so too, everything they took forward with their “negative space” lattice-effect argyle sweaters. Being able to soar creatively while remaining grounded and in touch with reality is probably as much a mark of exceptional talent among young actors as it is with fashion designers. Either way, it’s about making a human connection. With Stefan Cooke and Jake Burt, it comes down to this: “We asked ourselves, what would we want to wear? We want to evolve this brand so it’s accessible to a lot of people.”  In fact, at the end of the answer above, I point out that one can try to define wealth as one total number, and have net production of wealth be added to the total wealth as one number. Or one can break up wealth into different categories and measure wealth by an accounting of all the different categories of wealth. If one looked for a single number defining the value of wealth, and if one decided to measure all wealth in nominal terms, the value of the money that is the preservation of the investment money would have the same value as it did when put into spending as investment.

There have been a lot of exercised quads on display. In New York, Theory’s Martin Andersson made his own contribution. Having taken tropical modernism as a starting point for his new Theory collection, he did a navy shorts suit, and also showed shorts with sportswear layers: A suede jacket topped a ribbed knit sweater, nylon anorak, and trim Bermuda. Andersson said this was a collection about texture. When the humidity spikes, the New York subways are a sweat factory and tailoring becomes a real turn-off. So he set about sourcing fabrics that can work in extreme temperatures. The company’s traceable “Good Linen” was blended with tech fabric for a modern touch on a “balsa”-color suit. And on another suit, he used paper nylon with a “crispy” hand texture that will be wilt resistant at any dew point. But his best idea for beating the heat where those shorts. Now that Wall Street has once and for all abandoned the suit and tie, could it embrace exposed dude knees? The American tradition of men’s dress from which Browne mines his material is via Ivy League, rooted in sport, and here there were Sportif accessories galore: basketball bags, soccer ball bags, football bags a lot of ball bags, basically. Some of the seersucker panniers worn on the shoulder lent a prettily garlanded, football-echoing bulk to the form within, and one exposed pannier skirt featured seersucker balls that rested between it and either side of the wearer’s hip. Browne is a highly popular designer among professional sports players, of course, and he explained today’s play thus: “I’ve always use sports as a reference, and today, playing with the severity of the 18th-century reference, grounding it in sports, was a way to bring it into the men’s world.”And since the decreased spending will probably reduce overall economic activity it is more likely to reduce “net production of wealth”, and not increase it, meaning, if savings equals investment plus net production, He is more likely to decrease overall savings than spending is. Increasing investment spending will increase the savings that is the preservation of investment, and it will via its multiplier effect further increase total spending. And this overall increase in spending is more likely to increase net production as well, especially if we have un or underutilized resources that the spending can cause to be activated in the wealth creation and preservation process.

Think: color-blocked windbreakers, logo’d hoodies, and track pants. (Justin and Hailey Bieber are already fans.) As for the mainline, Perry Ellis has always been a brand known for its prints, and the “look” of this summer was indisputably a boldly printed camp shirt. Guys wore them over T-shirts and girls wore them with bike shorts; it’s a happily unisex trend. Creative Director Michael Maccari said the women in his office frequently shop the collection, and they’ve likely called dibs on the Spring 2020 shirts that mimic abstract paintings. Those shirts merged Maccari’s two key influences: the Luca Guadagnino film A Bigger Splash (set in Sicily and starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes) and the artwork of David Hockney. Maccari was designing the collection last fall, just after one of Hockney’s famous swimming pool paintings sold for $90 million, making him the priciest living artist in history (though he was surpassed by Jeff Koons in May). Hockney’s crisp, deeply saturated paintings of water and nature informed the painterly prints, while the artist’s own preppy style informed the “nerdy” knit polos. Those items were bright spots in a classic-leaning collection. The news in suiting and 9-to-5 staples tend to be smaller tweaks at Perry Ellis, like changing the scale of a stripe or applying a special treatment to a suit to make it machine-washable. The guys (and girls) who are drawn to the more fun, vibrant printed shirts will likely skip the business stuff and consider the more casual pieces, like a buttery-soft garment-dyed twill chore jacket. Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off. I have no issues with the top except for not having some kind of closure. These types of tops are annoyingly difficult to get on and off, especially if you’ve got a large bust. (Plus think about how much fun it is to quickly grab the tie-ends of a bikini top and give them a good tug – off it goes!) The overall sporty tank shape of the top is not my favorite but it works perfectly fine for some.

And this was nothing like a good Philipp Plein show. Joke! In fact, this Plein outing was perfectly bearable, and the Educated motivated vaccinated shirt and I love this clothes whisper it had some redeeming features. Following January’s blessedly straightforward reset, at which the centrally located runway featured The Killers and a not-killer but okay collection, Munich’s most famous Ferrari-favoring mountain-buying no longer an infant but eternally terrible Swiss-based (for tax reasons) fashion iconoclast had apparently got the message. This was another show full of bombast and performance, but it zinged along promptly. Unless the looming lightning on the horizon ended things early, it looked like the after-party that was shaping up when we left was going to be fun (for those in the mood). The crowd that was apparently watching from the balcony of the Fondazione Prada alongside were probably not in that mood. Part of Plein’s shtick has always been that he is here to storm the ivory towers such as that Fondazione of fashion. Tonight he sounded like the grizzliest gatekeeper of them all as he spoke at impassioned length of the dangers of over-discounting something that certain shareholder driven online wholesale retailers (naming no names) favor boosting short-term revenue results—in affecting the overall perception of a brand. He was passingly scurrilous, on the purpose of course, about labels that are not his own, but it is not Vogue Runway’s job to stir the pot on others’ behalf. Another subject we got into was his reported efforts to acquire the Roberto Cavalli brand. These turn out to be true, and were the subject, he said, of four months’ focus, but have, for reasons too niche and potentially litigious to Regardless of what era, the material was always very simple and usually white. They liked the dresses to have a lot of style to them, such as pleating. In the Old Kingdom, they usually wore horizontal pleating, whereas, in the New Kingdom, it was generally vertical. During the Middle Kingdom, pleating was much more extensive. Sometimes it would be horizontal with vertical pleating overlapping. How they achieved this pleated look is unknown. During the New Kingdom period it became fashionable for dresses to be pleated or draped. Occasionally women would have feathers and beading across the chest area, but mostly the cloth was bare. They decorated their clothes with details using feather, embroidery, sequin and pieces of jewellery to make them more attractive to the gods and headdresses. Buy this shirt:  Educated motivated vaccinated shirt Eat Sleep Kansas City Repeat football Champions shirt The major starting point for the Eat Sleep Kansas City Repeat football Champions shirt moreover I will buy this collection, Vaccarello said at a preview, was Marrakech in the ’70s (YSL was a habituée) reimagined as 21st-century Los Angeles, a city that resides on Vaccarello’s own emotional landscape. (He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process.

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.

His work is exclusionary to the Kansas City Chiefs Jet Chip Wasp Super Bowl 2020 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.

Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off. I have no issues with the top except for not having some kind of closure. These types of tops are annoyingly difficult to get on and off, especially if you’ve got a large bust. (Plus think about how much fun it is to quickly grab the tie-ends of a bikini top and give them a good tug – off it goes!) The overall sporty tank shape of the top is not my favorite but it works perfectly fine for some.

And this was nothing like a good Philipp Plein show. Joke! In fact, this Plein outing was perfectly bearable, and the Jack Skellington hug I have selective hearing I’m sorry you were not selected shirt it is in the first place but clothes whisper it had some redeeming features. Following January’s blessedly straightforward reset, at which the centrally located runway featured The Killers and a not-killer but okay collection, Munich’s most famous Ferrari-favoring mountain-buying no longer an infant but eternally terrible Swiss-based (for tax reasons) fashion iconoclast had apparently got the message. This was another show full of bombast and performance, but it zinged along promptly. Unless the looming lightning on the horizon ended things early, it looked like the after-party that was shaping up when we left was going to be fun (for those in the mood). The crowd that was apparently watching from the balcony of the Fondazione Prada alongside were probably not in that mood. Part of Plein’s shtick has always been that he is here to storm the ivory towers such as that Fondazione of fashion. Tonight he sounded like the grizzliest gatekeeper of them all as he spoke at impassioned length of the dangers of over-discounting something that certain shareholder driven online wholesale retailers (naming no names) favor boosting short-term revenue results—in affecting the overall perception of a brand. He was passingly scurrilous, on the purpose of course, about labels that are not his own, but it is not Vogue Runway’s job to stir the pot on others’ behalf. Another subject we got into was his reported efforts to acquire the Roberto Cavalli brand. These turn out to be true, and were the subject, he said, of four months’ focus, but have, for reasons too niche and potentially litigious to Regardless of what era, the material was always very simple and usually white. They liked the dresses to have a lot of style to them, such as pleating. In the Old Kingdom, they usually wore horizontal pleating, whereas, in the New Kingdom, it was generally vertical. During the Middle Kingdom, pleating was much more extensive. Sometimes it would be horizontal with vertical pleating overlapping. How they achieved this pleated look is unknown. During the New Kingdom period it became fashionable for dresses to be pleated or draped. Occasionally women would have feathers and beading across the chest area, but mostly the cloth was bare. They decorated their clothes with details using feather, embroidery, sequin and pieces of jewellery to make them more attractive to the gods and headdresses. Buy this shirt:  Jack Skellington hug I have selective hearing I’m sorry you were not selected shirt In Jesus name I play guitar shirt The major starting point for the In Jesus name I play guitar shirt In addition,I will do this collection, Vaccarello said at a preview, was Marrakech in the ’70s (YSL was a habituée) reimagined as 21st-century Los Angeles, a city that resides on Vaccarello’s own emotional landscape. (He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process. Buy this shirt:  In Jesus name I play guitar shirt If your rice is too wet you fucked up shirt That made it difficult for Marretta to find much fresh water. For instance, we’d seen the If your rice is too wet you fucked up shirt Besides,I will do this pool-dappled pattern—which is very attractive—not just at Kors’s Hockney-hashing collection, but also this season at MSGM (in a collection simply enough about summer). Yet that’s not to conclude this was an altogether poor debut from Marretta, who clearly has some serious knitwear petrol in his engine following his time in Milan. The double-face wool-blend track pants and rib-knit sweaters in violently opposing lifeguard-uniform yellow and red were, as he said, fun. So were his pieces of reversible outerwear in checks that mashed Prince of Wales against argyle, which matched his a-lot-like-Birkenstock sandals. The intarsia-homage diving-figure sweater was cute. But if Marretta is going to revisit British culture through his Italian eyes, he should either do it in a completely new manner or find lesser explored but still visually compelling aspects of the culture he has moved from Armani to dive into. “I am no longer an artist; I have become a work of art,” spoke a voiceover in the middle of Prada’s Spring 2020 men’s shoe, held, for the first time off home turf, in Shanghai. (Typically Miuccia Prada prefers to show her collections in the Fondazione Prada in Milan or at her New York office.) Later, the same voice said, “I feel myself a god.” Mrs. Prada has long maintained a reverent relationship with art, supporting and collaborating with her favorite creators, without ever formally declaring herself among their ranks—no word on the god situation. So, what were we to make of the statements pronounced, at techno speed, over a blue-lit runway at the Minsheng Art Wharf? To those at home in the Pradaverse, the words, lifted from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome, were Prada subversion at its best. In the show notes unlike her in situ shows, Mrs. P did not assemble journalists for a debrief the collection was described as one of optimism, suggesting that being hopeful can be an antidote for accepting the darkness of our actuality. It’s a continuation of the themes she launched at her recent women’s Resort show in New York, but when presented on male models, it took on a kinkier edge.  I fought my way, using the advantage of having a small body, bending, and shoving until I got there. Okay, I think I see it! The window that a teacher stands behind. I extended my hand with the money, gasping for breath as two big girls squished me from both sides. Buy this shirt:  If your rice is too wet you fucked up shirt I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt Thus far, the I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt But I will love this shows this week have been a series of experiences. There’s been a bat mitzvah, a supper club performance by Janelle Monáe (with an invite stating a black-and-white dress code, no less), and a moving gospel choir performance inside one of Brooklyn’s oldest, most storied theaters. Some on the circuit is already ringing the death knell for the traditional runway show format, and frankly, the differentiation has helped spice things up on the newly condensed calendar. Private Policy, a label based between Shanghai and New York from Chinese designers Haoran Li and Siying Qu, did the same, opting to show their Spring 2020 unisex label with a live model presentation at a SoHo gallery alongside a series of portraits photographed by Shxpir Huang. After Fashion Week, space will turn into a pop-up shop. The images feature real Asian-American families who all styled themselves in the latest Private Policy lineup, which includes their signature checkered pattern applied to the lapels of baby pink and seafoam green skirt- and short-suit sets. There were cool, raver-Esque harness tops and ring-detailed slip dresses, along with Li and Qu’s usual streetwear tees. They’ve titled their collection “Family Dinner,” and the idea was to highlight the often emotionally intense experience of an Asian-American family gathering around food. More forward-thinking youth will sometimes clash with the elders who are tied to their generational, conservative ideologies. The portraits of the families are meant to showcase just how varied Asian-American families can be: They can have older kids, both the mother and father can work, or two Asian men can get married and start their own family together. That last example is of great importance to Li and Qu, as they want to challenge gender bias and LGBTQ discrimination in their own culture, both at home and in America. I admire Catherine re-wearing so many beautiful dresses. She even has her children wearing hand-me-downs, which is wonderful and practical, but I love the times when all the men and ladies bring out their finest clothes and have their hair styled and royalty exudes a brilliance that Hollywood cannot recreate. Those State dinners are full of glitz and glam, and watching the royals wear their sashes and special pins, which are full of meaning, is otherworldly, almost. Nothing compares. Buy this shirt:  I wrote the damn bill Bernie Sanders shirt I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt For years, Marcus Wainwright talked up Rag & Bone’s connection to the I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt and I will buy this street, emphasizing the off-duty IRL-ness of the clothes. The design team wasn’t inattentive to trends, but it certainly didn’t follow them obsequiously. Tried-and-true essentials were the order of the day. So it was no small development to hear Wainwright say at a visit to the brand’s showroom that there’s “a call for more ‘pushed’ fashion on the men’s side.” As ever at R&B, the foundations are British tailoring, American workwear, a strong Japanese aesthetic most notable via fabrications, and a sports element. But as promised, those foundations were heightened this time around. See the pinstriping on a well-cut coat and the eye-catching color-blocking on strict military shirts, cargo pants, and tennis sweaters. The bomber with “44” embroidered on the arm that President Obama wore to a college basketball game back in February, nearly breaking the Internet in the process, was cut with a new floral-print lining made from Japanese indigo (and sans the 44 detail). Wainwright and co. made excellent use of fabrics sourced from Japan. Pull-on pants in faded indigo cotton managed to look both fashionable and essential at the same time. He should add them to the Rag & Bone women’s collection, for sure.  Rage and alienation: is this Raf Simons’s comfort zone, the place which connects him back, as a 51-year-old man, to the teenage experience his work continually fetishizes? Well, Simons doesn’t have to play nice to any bosses anymore. After his exit from Calvin Klein, he reports only to himself. And what the free Raf Simons wants to say is exactly how much he accuses and despises corporate America. Quite apart from the slogans, it was there rather clearly, breaking through on the soundtrack, a voice which intoned, “Big lie…media America, corporate America…fascist America.” Yes, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, does wear custom made gowns for special occasions when the ladies pull out their tiaras and jewels and high heels. For the State Dinner at Buckingham Palace, Catherine wore a white ruffled gown by Alexander McQueen. No recycled outfits for a night like this. Buy this shirt:  I googled my symptoms turns out I just needed to pray shirt I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt Houseago was just one in a chorus of creative voices that harmonized around this collection. Although there were some very overtly personal and Mexican touches, such as sequins reflecting China Poblana festival wear and the I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt Furthermore, I will do this Aztec Eagle logo of the United Farm Workers’ association, for whose Mexican migrant pickers Owens’s father often worked as a translator in the California courts (these garments and a piece of jewelry will be sold to benefit the UFW), he said he was very careful to avoid the folkloric side of Mexican culture. Instead, he said, he had become fascinated with the effect of Mexican culture on the work of Josef and Anni Albers, the subject of a recent-ish show at the Guggenheim. Owens expounded: “I loved that combination of modernism with something so ancient. Looking at the drawings they made that were inspired by the sites was the Mexico angle I wanted.” With the exception of some Perspex-heeled platforms and rough tire-sole cowskin sandals that caused much trepidation as the models descended steps while keeping their eyes fixed on the pit, it was also a collection abrim with highly wearable pieces. Personally I loved the cotton jackets in a black and white set with austere, angled grids of ribbon and lacing, which was sometimes reflected in a riot of lacing on a Veja collab sneaker and looped into the fabric of some loose wool track pants. The sequins incorporated one-color oversize tailoring and looked pleasingly sleazy, while metallic-finished outerwear boasted a brutal industrial shimmer. In collaboration with Champion, Owens primitivized its cotton jersey via transformation into togas and loincloths. Zippered jumpsuits, some half-worn to optimize ab exposure, looked toughly utilitarian, while short-hemmed tailored jackets in white snakeskin over low-neck loose T-shirts and white sequined zippered pants appeared twistedly slick especially when teamed with a pompadour. According to Josef Albers, “in art, tradition is to create, not to revive,” and in this highly artful collection, we saw an outstanding expression of the tradition in the clothing created by Owens. The convenient accessibility to my sister’s lingerie paved the way for me to experiment which I inevitably did when home alone one day. Whilst it was a most exciting and somewhat of a nerve-wracking experience due to it being my first experience trying on panties and a slip, I was also thrilled at how the panties felt and how they looked on me when I checked in the mirror. The nylon and lace slip enhanced even further the delightful silky feeling of the silky nylon panties. The two layers of silky nylon lingerie felt so wonderfully good I did not want to take them off. Buy this shirt:  I drink coffee because I need it I ride Motorcycles because I deserve it shirt I battle the angel of death what do you do shirt Robert Geller is about to embark on a yearlong sabbatical to Portugal with his family, taking a pause from the I battle the angel of death what do you do shirt But I will love this New York fashion world for a bit. The connection between Geller’s stepping back from the circus of fashion and his circus-themed Spring 2020 collection isn’t that direct he says he started to think of the circus and Sarah Moon’s hazy photographs on a flight last year but it’s hard not to draw a comparison. Even without the pomp and circumstance of a show, Geller is making some of American fashion’s most show-stopping menswear. As always, his base is his materials and dyes. In the former category, he has incorporated spandex into more of his fabrications, inspired by his ongoing collaboration with Lululemon. Geller’s comfortable, athletic garments have only become more agile. Even more invigorating is his new palette. Rather than labor over an exact shade of sandstone or clay, as he often does, Geller’s ditched his earth tones this season in favor of something more fabulous. The slime green stripes that cut through a nylon coat or the metallic azures that make up a shimmering suit are far more electric than what we’ve come to expect from the earthy designer. But if it’s not evident yet, Geller is ready for a change.  Federico Curradi is finding his groove at Rochas. This annoyingly standing-format show (how to type?) was packed full of engaging all-organic garments, soft and flowing, and bohemian. Curradi said he’s trying to make an artist’s wardrobe and who doesn’t want to look like an “artist,” right? Since decamping to Paris from Florence, he’s tried to suffuse himself in Frenchness, and for this collection consulted Ed van der Elsken’s Love on the Left Bank and Helena Janeczek’s The Girl With the Leica what a story with which to conjure atmospheric touches to his garments. Inspired by Gerda Taro’s bravery and resolve (if you don’t know it, please Google her story; it’s amazing), he incorporated soft embroidery detailing on weathered military-uniform-inspired trenches and shirting in silk and cotton. Noticing my sisters panties and slips on the clothesline drying after washing and my mother neatly folding her panties and ironing her slips after the washing was brought in, kept building my interest and gave me persisting thoughts about panties and slips until it reached the stage where inexorably I felt compelled to explore trying on panties and a slip. Buy this shirt:  I battle the angel of death what do you do shirt Heart crusher Valentine shirt Most of this, though, was derived directly from the Heart crusher Valentine shirt it is in the first place but work emerging from Ruby’s sprawling California studio complex. The printed dresses and shirting featured imagery of candles and weeds shot by Ruby’s wife, Melanie Schiff. One model wore a vinyl tabard bearing the lurid coverwork of a book entitled Hex, a 1972 examination of pow-wow and murder in the Pennsylvania Dutch community amidst which he was partially raised. This childhood influence presumably also influenced the Mennonite-style dresses in bleached denim. Ruby said the stalagmite-like U.S. flag decals on his denim pieces reflected certain sculpted works; Ruby-philes will doubtless recognize many more entanglements between his artistic body of work and the beginning of this new one as they look at these clothes. Arguably the boldest element of all on show tonight was the act of a famed contemporary artist transitioning into the world of fashion design. Fashion traditionally tugs its forelock at contemporary art, while contemporary art is happy to take fashion’s sponsorship cash and revel in its assumed superiority in the creative hierarchy. Ruby, conversely, seems to be genuinely enthused by this new aspect of his practice, and who is to say his fashion will not prove as lucrative as his art? This “collection” is, in fact, not one but four collections: Some pieces went immediately on sale, see-now-buy-now style, and are presumably the fashion equivalents of print editions.

He is a manic, super-scale collagist, and as well as the Guitar Uke I am your father noooo shirt moreover I love this many themes drawn from his own personal journey, there were echoes here of Simons in some silhouettes and also of Rick Owens’s meaningfully meditative primitivism, especially in the semi-rigid ponchos made of a patchwork of mixed materials that came piped with a sort of selvedge time-stamp to act as a mark of provenance. This was part of a careful dedication to captioning-by-label prevalent not only in Ruby’s gallery home world, but also in the work of Virgil Abloh (who was in attendance).

Actually, it’s a concept very much connected with Salvatore Ferragamo’s original philosophy; he was ahead of the game, using materials and experimenting with shapes never done before, but always rendered with the extraordinary artisanal finesse. Working alongside the company’s men’s design director Guillaume Meilland, Andrew kept the play on shapes neat and graceful, infused with a kind of restrained gloss. Volumes were sleek and just slightly oversize, to highlight a dynamic sense of ease. The same spirit was also reflected in the women’s looks, almost with a unisex approach. Georgina Grenville looked gorgeous in a softly tailored periwinkle shorts suit, but it would’ve been equally smart on the actor Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, Ralph and Joseph Fiennes’s genetically blessed nephew, who closed the show and will be the face of the new Ferragamo advertising campaign. The young Fiennes was part of a diverse cast that included the actor Josh Lucas, the stunning model Cecilia Chancellor, Sotheby’s European chairman Michael Berger-Sandhofer, and art director extraordinaire Peter Saville. From the front row, Stanley Tucci, surrounded by a plethora of glamorous young celebrities, seemed rather pleased. Ever since Anthony Vaccarello landed at Saint Laurent in 2016 in fact, even before, with his own label he has always had a preference for staging his shows so that the audience sits on only one side of the runway, giving an uninterrupted view of the unfolding spectacle. For his Summer 2020 men’s shoe, his second for the house after last June’s ’70s opium-fest in NYC, it was business as usual, if it’s possible to call staging a show on an ebonized boardwalk runway atop a Malibu beach usual. (Nope, obviously not, not even for the likes of Keanu Reeves, LaKeith Stanfield, and Miley Cyrus, who sat front row.) . That doesn’t mean that the money supply was 20 million in the anchor year. Sizes of money supply can vary widely. Now accountings of wealth do not always have to include every possible type of form of wealth. You can do accountings of all the wealth, or any portion of it, any category of it. And when one is doing calculations of a given amount of any type or category of wealth, those valuations may vary widely depending of the method used, and of course, subjectivity can always play a significant role. Buy this shirt:  Goats make me happy you not so much shirt Gnome hug USC Trojans shirt Sandro’s menswear category is moving fast; not only does the Gnome hug USC Trojans shirt moreover I will buy this brand have double-digit growth, but it also has big ambitions. “We’re always striving for just a touch of newness,” offered Ilan Chetrite, the founder and artistic director of Sandro Homme. The brand may have 200 points of sale today, but Chetrite prefers to think of the company as it was a decade ago, when he was dropping a few men’s pieces into the women’s flagship in the Marais. “I knew I wanted to cater to men the same way that the women’s brand did for women,” he said. By any measure, he has succeeded. For Spring, key pieces riff on nostalgia from less-complicated times (the Kennedy era springs to mind). Chetrite noted that inspiration might come from friends, an older brother, or photos from a family album dating to the ’50s or ’70s. Sandro’s sweet spot lands somewhere between American-style workwear and Euro retro elegance. A double-breasted suit might pick up on city-trader style, but canoodle with a Cubist- (or even Cuban-) inspired shirt. Modernized throwbacks include floods and darted pants. Soft pink and cerulean blue mixed with tobacco hues. A vintage finish on leather hints at a life lived to the hilt; a striped knit references softer, gentler times. Noting a preference for comfort of wear, colors that age well, and Milano knits, Chetrite muses, “When I go to work in the morning, to my mind we’re a small boutique.” That said, he acknowledges that success comes with a side of pressure. Sandro is rising to the occasion with a new menswear flagship on Prince Street in New York, set to open mid-August all evidence points to a directional retail experiment. “The goal is to be new every season and to be loyal to ourselves,” Chetrite said. “But the real point is bringing pleasure to what you do every day.” And if you notice, the amount of wealth we are concerned with, when calculating the inflation rate, was not the total amount of wealth. It is only the total amount of wealth sold. Now if you wanted to calculate the “real” or inflation adjusted value of all the wealth existing in the present year. You would have to compare it to the total value that wealth would have in the anchor year. Using the inflation rate determined by comparing the difference in nominal spending this year as compared to the anchor year, as we did in our example above, would be one way to do it.

It’s nostalgia for past futures was, as he cheerily pointed out, a big influence here, along with what he described as “my love for ’90s post-punk new wave.” A German-Korean who studied architecture in Oxford and fell into fashion in New York, this designer’s identity lying beneath those layers of inspiration made for a collection in which the cacophony of references struck a fresh and interesting harmony. Soft modernist horn-buttoned suiting and shirting often collarless, sometimes kimono style—in silk charmeuse or worsted wool featured Gundam prints plus a smattering of velcro patching and strapping in order to allow the wearer to play around with the volume of his look and feel like some back-from-the-future badass. Hard vectors of seaming were stitched onto the gently contoured shirting and pants to deliver the dichotomy I’m was aiming for. This dystopian punk 3.0 note was counterpointed by a strong sportswear-rooted section that included a foldable Jedi-Esque poncho totally Tauntaun and some paneled short-shorting that set the thrust course of conversation direct to Berghain (I’m was getting ready for a visit). Whatever your reason for getting into I’m quad stretching or mind-bending—he presents a distinct menswear aesthetic that feels both future-proof (at least for now) and exactingly thought through. If you were looking into that “one value” for all the wealth sold, and wanted to account for wealth in “real terms”, then you are still likely to be measuring the value of the wealth in terms of a given currency. The value for any amount of wealth is measured in terms of what that currency buys at a certain point in time. To translate that into something we might call the real value of that wealth we have to ascertain how much of the same currency would be required to purchase that wealth in an “anchor year”. The ratio of the amount of money needed to purchase the current amount of wealth today versus the amount of money needed to buy the same amount of wealth in the anchor year, gives us the inflation rate. The total “real” wealth sold would a hundred million dollars. The value of wealth sold measured in terms of what that currency would buy in the anchor year is 100 million.

The importance of primary research is drilled into Central Saint Martins students—one reason that they visited “a lot of costume archives, and we liked the idea of replicating something we saw from the 15th century but with only 20 pence to do it.” So they printed scans of antique pieces onto canvas and cinched the fronts of jackets with cross-laced corseting. That was the start of putting together a coherently delightful top-to-toe look that tethered delicacy to a brilliant color sense: pink, lemon, red. The other part of the energy came from keeping eyes open on their first trip to New York Matchesfashion.com, early champions, took them to meet the press a few weeks ago. London kids looking at New York kids in the streets, they were impressed by the precise way guys in the city will pair sweatpants with something more flamboyant. It was plain to see that the hybrid jersey-trousers they came up with will be immediately leaped on; so too, everything they took forward with their “negative space” lattice-effect argyle sweaters. Being able to soar creatively while remaining grounded and in touch with reality is probably as much a mark of exceptional talent among young actors as it is with fashion designers. Either way, it’s about making a human connection. With Stefan Cooke and Jake Burt, it comes down to this: “We asked ourselves, what would we want to wear? We want to evolve this brand so it’s accessible to a lot of people.”  In fact, at the end of the answer above, I point out that one can try to define wealth as one total number, and have net production of wealth be added to the total wealth as one number. Or one can break up wealth into different categories and measure wealth by an accounting of all the different categories of wealth. If one looked for a single number defining the value of wealth, and if one decided to measure all wealth in nominal terms, the value of the money that is the preservation of the investment money would have the same value as it did when put into spending as investment.

There have been a lot of exercised quads on display. In New York, Theory’s Martin Andersson made his own contribution. Having taken tropical modernism as a starting point for his new Theory collection, he did a navy shorts suit, and also showed shorts with sportswear layers: A suede jacket topped a ribbed knit sweater, nylon anorak, and trim Bermuda. Andersson said this was a collection about texture. When the humidity spikes, the New York subways are a sweat factory and tailoring becomes a real turn-off. So he set about sourcing fabrics that can work in extreme temperatures. The company’s traceable “Good Linen” was blended with tech fabric for a modern touch on a “balsa”-color suit. And on another suit, he used paper nylon with a “crispy” hand texture that will be wilt resistant at any dew point. But his best idea for beating the heat where those shorts. Now that Wall Street has once and for all abandoned the suit and tie, could it embrace exposed dude knees? The American tradition of men’s dress from which Browne mines his material is via Ivy League, rooted in sport, and here there were Sportif accessories galore: basketball bags, soccer ball bags, football bags a lot of ball bags, basically. Some of the seersucker panniers worn on the shoulder lent a prettily garlanded, football-echoing bulk to the form within, and one exposed pannier skirt featured seersucker balls that rested between it and either side of the wearer’s hip. Browne is a highly popular designer among professional sports players, of course, and he explained today’s play thus: “I’ve always use sports as a reference, and today, playing with the severity of the 18th-century reference, grounding it in sports, was a way to bring it into the men’s world.”And since the decreased spending will probably reduce overall economic activity it is more likely to reduce “net production of wealth”, and not increase it, meaning, if savings equals investment plus net production, He is more likely to decrease overall savings than spending is. Increasing investment spending will increase the savings that is the preservation of investment, and it will via its multiplier effect further increase total spending. And this overall increase in spending is more likely to increase net production as well, especially if we have un or underutilized resources that the spending can cause to be activated in the wealth creation and preservation process.

As for the mainline, Perry Ellis has always been a brand known for its prints, and the “look” of this summer was indisputably a boldly printed camp shirt. Guys wore them over T-shirts and girls wore them with bike shorts; it’s a happily unisex trend. Creative Director Michael Maccari said the women in his office frequently shop the collection, and they’ve likely called dibs on the Spring 2020 shirts that mimic abstract paintings. Those shirts merged Maccari’s two key influences: the Luca Guadagnino film A Bigger Splash (set in Sicily and starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes) and the artwork of David Hockney. Maccari was designing the collection last fall, just after one of Hockney’s famous swimming pool paintings sold for $90 million, making him the priciest living artist in history (though he was surpassed by Jeff Koons in May). Hockney’s crisp, deeply saturated paintings of water and nature informed the painterly prints, while the artist’s own preppy style informed the “nerdy” knit polos. Those items were bright spots in a classic-leaning collection. The news in suiting and 9-to-5 staples tend to be smaller tweaks at Perry Ellis, like changing the scale of a stripe or applying a special treatment to a suit to make it machine-washable. The guys (and girls) who are drawn to the more fun, vibrant printed shirts will likely skip the business stuff and consider the more casual pieces, like a buttery-soft garment-dyed twill chore jacket. Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off. I have no issues with the top except for not having some kind of closure. These types of tops are annoyingly difficult to get on and off, especially if you’ve got a large bust. (Plus think about how much fun it is to quickly grab the tie-ends of a bikini top and give them a good tug – off it goes!) The overall sporty tank shape of the top is not my favorite but it works perfectly fine for some.

And this was nothing like a good Philipp Plein show. Joke! In fact, this Plein outing was perfectly bearable, and the Educated motivated vaccinated shirt and I love this clothes whisper it had some redeeming features. Following January’s blessedly straightforward reset, at which the centrally located runway featured The Killers and a not-killer but okay collection, Munich’s most famous Ferrari-favoring mountain-buying no longer an infant but eternally terrible Swiss-based (for tax reasons) fashion iconoclast had apparently got the message. This was another show full of bombast and performance, but it zinged along promptly. Unless the looming lightning on the horizon ended things early, it looked like the after-party that was shaping up when we left was going to be fun (for those in the mood). The crowd that was apparently watching from the balcony of the Fondazione Prada alongside were probably not in that mood. Part of Plein’s shtick has always been that he is here to storm the ivory towers such as that Fondazione of fashion. Tonight he sounded like the grizzliest gatekeeper of them all as he spoke at impassioned length of the dangers of over-discounting something that certain shareholder driven online wholesale retailers (naming no names) favor boosting short-term revenue results—in affecting the overall perception of a brand. He was passingly scurrilous, on the purpose of course, about labels that are not his own, but it is not Vogue Runway’s job to stir the pot on others’ behalf. Another subject we got into was his reported efforts to acquire the Roberto Cavalli brand. These turn out to be true, and were the subject, he said, of four months’ focus, but have, for reasons too niche and potentially litigious to Regardless of what era, the material was always very simple and usually white. They liked the dresses to have a lot of style to them, such as pleating. In the Old Kingdom, they usually wore horizontal pleating, whereas, in the New Kingdom, it was generally vertical. During the Middle Kingdom, pleating was much more extensive. Sometimes it would be horizontal with vertical pleating overlapping. How they achieved this pleated look is unknown. During the New Kingdom period it became fashionable for dresses to be pleated or draped. Occasionally women would have feathers and beading across the chest area, but mostly the cloth was bare. They decorated their clothes with details using feather, embroidery, sequin and pieces of jewellery to make them more attractive to the gods and headdresses.

(He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process.
