american psycho and cphfw

WORDS ARE TRENDING: A word is worth a thousand pictures!
fashion week has come to an end here in cph, and i just read american psycho. its a thick ass book but its a good one. watched the movie last night it got nothing on the book really. i found the book to be a masterpiece hot take on postmodern yuppie culture(takes one to know one!!) where the killings are metaphors for a culture thats fucked and the movie is just a vague representation of a killer. I do love the all the business card scenes in the movie. Like i wrote somewhere on this blog i have unpurposely started a collection of off-white thick embossed serif font business cards from rich men and in the movie u see why. anyways in the book patrick bateman describes every character's outfit when he sees them. he sees the look before the person. can u relate??? “Price is wearing a six-button wool and silk suit by Ermenegildo Zegna, a cotton shirt with French cuffs by Ike Behar, a Ralph Lauren silk tie and leather wing tips by Fratelli Rossetti”.... the characters are representations of empty suits walking around. i know the suits at cphfw most likely have fab ppl in them but going from show to show and seeing so much money and anticipation blow up in 10 mins will drain even the most soulful soul. blame the industry not the fashion lover tho, most of them are just nerds with a passion... most things you attend at a fashion week were not made to be experienced first hand. its all made for pictures and physically attending a space that has been build only to come alive online is a weird and very unmonumental feeling... so much work and probably tears to create a MOMENT online?... we live in a world of pictures and they have ALL been done. every image exists but ppl are sleepless to create the next. oh and wasn't ai also created for this? and i think words are important now. anybody who dares to write them have my attention. one word is worth a thousand pictures! however, sometimes fashion moments happen in real life and my dear friend masculina put on the cuntiest show ON A DIME that i will never forget..... please dont give the fashion industry to much money they will just spend it on plastic sculptures to toss out the next day and giant cakes that nobody eats.... i love fashion and its full of fab and creative ppl but the urgency for a moment makes hard work fall flat.

hot take on replica fashion

today i did an open call for hot take requests on the blog. someone wrote thoughts on replica fashion  so here is my hot take: first thing i ever owned was a guccy cap. i still have it and its almost broken. its been fiteen years and i have had a real one in the meantime. didnt love it. donated it to charity in the end cus it didnt feel glam. i appreciated the design and the quality of a real one, but a gucci cap is another type of object than lets say an iris van herpen, mcqueen or a small emerging designer's work: actual art pieces. the gucci monogram represents something else. it represents mass production, which does not bother me at all. i'm drawn to it, but for different reasons of why a mcqueen makes me gag. to me, the gucci monogram is the mass media of fashion, the mtv logo in the corner. the place anybody can access. real or fake. the logo is strong enough to exist on a real leather suitcase to the plastic version thats laying in the street, looking up at you from a l...
