VFILES drops a great fashion show to present 5 fashion young designers in New York City: squad came and squad delivered, all destroyed at VFILES Runway 7: Designers.

Notable cameos include: Young Thug who stopped a model to styling mid-show, teen metal band Unlocking The Truth shredding all guitars, also playboicarti performing ‘What’, and the incomparable Waffle NY Dance crew… well, dancing.

Opens the runway was Designer Rushemy Botter at Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp presenting the collection A/W16 “My Patch is my Heart.”

Then we had Ground Zero, mostly of them was womenswear. We only extract the best ones. Titled “Lucy Pussy”.

Then show up, Song Seoyoon, this gal was so happy to see a day before, Naomi Campbell watching and peeking her collection, yeah we saw that on VFILES snapchat.

This is a context entry for VFILES Runway 7. But I had to admit this is my favorite, Creative mind Sanchez-Kane breaks the runway into this Mexico-narco-nostalgic-revolutionary all things mixed up curated by emotional chaos:

EVE was born before ADAM. Our DNA was shift and now men are fighting for their basic rights. Mexico was a macho dominant country before, now women are powerful.  Traditional stereotypes of Mexican society changed.

Trying to regain their identity to find a balance in a mexican women dominate world. A new citizen is born –“ citizen Sanchez-kane” He uses art as advertisement for nationalism and he embrace imperfection; strong sentimental new bread is born. We see the use of language as a weapon of communication, he just wants the world to be in peaceful dialogue and find the balance and equality. Personal and political emotional intrinsic elements are found.

As I say we just want equality, so lets MAKE AMERICA GAY AGAIN.

And last but not least, Alessandro Trincone presenting “Annodami” designer talks about his own experience with oppression and self fulfillment. Being rai- sed in a socially rough environment, it has always been a challenging issue to express myself; I have gradually understood the importance of loving yourself as it is the only real protection from “evilness”. I believe we are only able to stand against fear with a crystal clear reflection of our inner selves.

Rapper Young Thug is wearing latest collection for his new album dropped this past days.

The visual translation of this idea are mainly connected to Japan and its iconography, such as the Ban Gasa, sushi and the Japanese flag. Through the study of the Kosode trousers and traditional kimonos I built a bridge between my Napolitan sartorial heritage and the Nippon culture, a culture clash expressed through overly draped garments, very tight waists, knots and bows. The emphasis on the waist expresses my idea of protection, redefining tightness as a synonym of strength.

The androgynous identity of my inspirational garments reinforces my belief of no-gender boundaries between men and women. The feminine side of every male is explicitly shown through the whole collection, hoping to introduce a new meaning of masculinity, far from the traditional imagery society has carried through time.

Playboi Carti closed VFILES Runway 7 last night.

The relaunch of the Diesel campaign ‘For Successful Living’ and the publication of his book ‘Skinny’ rescues photographer of his ostracism.

2014 was not a good year for Terry Richardson. After decades of provocation, apparently it simulated models who had worked for him began to speak and not just to flatter him.

Charlotte Waters accused him of forcing her to masturbate in a photo shoot in 2009. In turn, Sara Ziff and Alise Shoemaker, from Model Alliance (association for the rights of the models) claimed that they would not work for him for similar reasons. And more people appearing in his book Terryworld (Taschen, 2004) also expressed its intention to denounce.

In fact, there were several boycott campaigns against him, for brands hire him to photograph would stop their campaigns. Birtish gal Alice Ehrenfried launched a petition on Change.org and reporting on Tumblr, supported by the eponymous hashtag #NoMoreTerry was also created.

Richardson defended his accusations denied any abuse on his part and the thing was there. He never stopped working (although in 2015 he shots Mar Saura in the campaign for GNP Seguros) but its image was irreparably played and figure in the world of fashion went to the background.

Richardson now reappears but with a new, less sexual charisma. As if before going on stage it had applied the Valencia filter Instagram. Now the photographer is father of twins and joined the group of parents showing the world the images of their offspring without shame. In his way, of course.

Today September 9th, goes on sale his new book Skinny (Idea, 2016), which portrays his family privacy. Life with his partner Alex (also known precisely as Skinny) since they met until they birth twin sons. Vacations, naked shots and even expressions of the mother while giving birth, represented in the 160 photos that make up the volume.

Photographer explained in an interview to the magazine Papermag.com that: “Although the book is not purely chronological, seems to take us and brings us to different parts of our relationship, obviously culminating with the birth of Rex and Roman. One of the first images is the first day we met and it was fun recover and remember”. 

The launch coincides with the recovery of the Diesel campaign “For Successful Living”, to celebrate 30 years of presence in Japan. Directed by Nicola Formichetti,features Abby Brothers, Gustavo Sanches, André Hamann, Francisco Perez, Gustavo Sanches, Jun Sung, Austin Weinreb, Alex Minsky, among others.

Telfar Clemens—of the semi-eponymous label, Telfar—is onto something. It’s not that his metier has changed; he’s known for producing androgynous basics with twists. It’s just that, after tonight’s show, his particular approach feels excitingly galvanizing.

Clemens has this raptor-like focus that’s grounded in the realest of realities, and that beams, forgive the verbiage, through excess and bullshit with laser precision. Or as he puts it: “This isn’t men’s, it’s not women’s, it’s not just sport, it’s not just streetwear, it’s not just casualwear. It’s clothing.” Others are doing runway versions of democratic, everyman’s garb, but there are undeniable gimmicks apparent. Somehow, this designer does them too, but gimmick-free.

For Spring, those clothes were super simple yet they tampered with convention, and came in a palette of what Clemens called “Old Navy” and “Martha Stewart” colors (mid-grade blue, tangerine, lime) derived from paint chips nicked from Home Depot. It started with a polo shirt, which Clemens either reversed to create a boat-necked front, or from which he surgically removed the back and added bra-straps. Said the designer: “The polo shirt comes from all different walks of life—the really, really low end to the high. From golf, to, you know, almost refugee. It’s universal.”

They were excellent. As were fake cardigans, with deep buttoned Vs that met at the navel and not quite the hem. “A faux pas!” Clemens exclaimed, happily. As were track pants with varsity stripes or slices at the knee. The only branding was Telfar’s own semi-industrial logo (it looks a bit like the old tennis brand Sergio Tacchini’s), which was at times allover embroidered to mimic the way, say, Ralph Lauren might render a corduroy with mallards or whales or what have you. A one-piece swimsuit/bodysuit, worn by a man, took the contextual remove to a racier but just as interesting level. What Clemens is suggesting is that the fundamentality of clothing—and its inversions, desexualization, and ultimate directness—is the future, totally stripped of pre-assigned notion. In a way, that attitude is almost anti-fashion—but it’s a breath, or even a blast, of fresh air. Telfar doesn’t sell a hype-branded hoodie or tee. It sells the belief that the elemental still has room to be shifted, and that promise feels extremely modern.

Worth noting, too: Clemens tapped the Olympians Tori Bowie (track and field) and Miles Chamley-Watson (fencing) to walk in the show. “You saw them on TV, and now they’re doing this. It’s unexpected,” he said. He even altered the way audiences generally respond—that is, via applause. His show closed with a choreographed clapping squad, which led to a loud roar from the crowd. Case in ultimate point: Clemens takes the everyday and remasters it. That’s his mission. He put it best: “We see what’s available to everyone, and make it special.”

There are many levels of crowd-pleasing that need to happen at a fashion show in order for it to be successful, starting with the front row and extending all the way through to those tuned in on their smartphones. Shayne Oliver of Hood By Air is acutely aware of this, and has more eyes on his brand than ever before. His ragtag posse of underground club kids and art-world friends was joined by some pretty high-profile faces at the show today, including Naomi Campbell, Jaden Smith, will.i.am, and rappers Rick Ross and Juicy J. Dedicated HBA fans will know that Oliver’s talents go beyond the runway—with an album made in collaboration with London-based electronic producer Arca in the pipeline for fall, he’s adding musician credits to his résumé.

Wench, the duo’s joint musical moniker, shared double billing with HBA’s distinctive logo throughout today’s collection. Essentially this was Oliver’s take on the tour merch phenomenon, and a clever way to reclaim some of the fashion spotlight that has been stolen by what the likes of Kanye West, Drake, and Justin Bieber have started. Of course there’s nothing basic about Oliver’s idea of a band tee; sometimes spelled out in big bold letters and other times on name labels reminiscent of a corporate function, the word wench appeared at the cuff of hooded blazers, on button-downs that were fashioned into sexy halter-neck tops and backless blouses. The reworking of traditional Wall Street suiting was impressive overall and came spliced with all the key streetwear and gender-fluid HBA touchstones: Think suit as zippered jumpsuit, or suit cut off the shoulder with corsetry underneath—executive realness at its most fabulous and subversive.

That said, Oliver understands that the simplest designs in his repertoire are no less important. The provocative slogan T-shirts that he launched with years ago are being replaced by logo polo shirts for Spring 2017, some of which came printed with the word Hustler, and all of which are likely to be a hit on the shop floor. Given that Oliver teamed with PornHub, perhaps one of the world’s most trafficked websites, on a video series this season, it makes him and Larry Flynt somewhat strange bedfellows. Regardless of the moral questions that hover over the collaboration, it is part of a growing trend of unlikely fashion partnerships that has sprung up as young designers grapple with the changing retail landscape—early this year, J.W. Anderson chose to stream his menswear show on Grindr, the gay dating app, for example. In any case, it’s clear that Oliver is successfully marching to the beat of his own drum as he explores new paths.

Patrick Bateman, Gordon Gecko, Bernie Madoff—all American psychos in their own right, whether fictional or real. It was those men Kerby Jean-Raymond turned an eye to with Pyer Moss’s Spring outing (the show notes even dubbed it a “collaboration” with Donald Trump and Madoff). After a barnstorming Fall show and plenty of press, Raymond and his team had a fair bit to live up to, if not surpass, with today’s lineup; and they did.

A chorus of sopranos seated before cash registers burst into song before a goosebump-inducing performance by Cyrus Aaron and Austin Millz, as the former took to task institutionalized oppression in a piece which felt particularly resonant on the heels of a hot, bloody summer marked by the deaths of Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, and others. Aaron’s piece set the tenor for a show about privilege and power, about those, so often predatory, few who’ve got the upper-hand in the world (Jean-Raymond also name-checked Jack Nicholson in Chinatown and Michael Douglas in Falling Down). The integration of performance and showing clothes was a remarkably seamless one; when asked about marrying the two, the designer responded: “I do what’s honest for me. Sometimes it comes out good, sometimes it comes out bad, but who gives a shit?”

Here it was undeniably good. Clothes were characterized by familiar motifs of wealth, the kind of things used in a movie to telegraph to us that someone is a banker before we’ve ever heard him speak: pinstripes, cufflinks, double-breasted suit jackets. Those codes were reworked and restyled to an offhanded, sporty effect. Twill trousers came shown with Perfecto-style toppers tucked into them, and the handful of graphics felt nicely purposeful; one satin coach’s jacket which read Please Speak Only to My Attorney was a particular highlight.

Elsewhere, big, bootleg gold watches were worn over shirt sleeves, and models sported terrific footwear by Yeezy shoe guru Salehe Bembury. Nikes and Doc Marten oxfords came dipped in a shroud of thick, sky blue silicone, trimmed roughly around the outer edges of the sole. Those served as a potent metaphor for anchors “that we all face in life,” Bembury offered, “whether financial or otherwise, that bog us down.” While as of now there are no plans to produce the pieces, it was no less easy to imagine them having a life in retail; Bembury himself pointed to the footwear market’s recent predilections for larger outsoles.

More than just a condemnation of men like Madoff and co., Jean-Raymond’s visceral show today served as a very wearable way to thumb a nose at their kind; he even went so far as to print an image of Madoff in the midst of his arrest atop a pin-striped shirt. How many of us are willing to wear a button-down bearing the likeness of Bernie, even ironically? That’s up for debate, but Jean-Raymond’s case, and his latest collection, were both compelling.

Moving to the synthesized beat of the Big Apple in the 1980’s, it was the era of the New York disco club that dominated Jeremy Scott‘s show from start to finish. A New York awash with artists quoting Andy Warhol and the Memphis design movement, a time of geometry, rockstars and styles inspired by the iconic stars and stripes, like the poptastic red, white and blue ice lollies. 

Jeremy Scott’s show paid homage to the city that never sleeps, with an added sprinkling of classic ironic cartoons and some snappy references to the geometric, sculptural couture of Pierre Cardin which triumphed in the finale: architectural shapes covered in sparkling sequins. Oh so very disco queen.

Tonight marked a major step in the evolution of Rag & Bone. It was the first runway show in which designer, and now sole CEO, Marcus Wainwright took a bow alone. David Neville, with whom Wainwright cofounded the label some 14 years ago, stepped down from his position in the company earlier this year. The evening also included Rag & Bone’s fragrance debut, landing in mid-October, of eight scents.

Similar to last season, Rag & Bone’s Spring men’s and women’s collections were shown in tandem. This time, they came forth in a brooding technical production that featured branched and pixelated projections and a score anchored by a Thom Yorke track. At first, the set felt somewhat incongruous with the clothing, at least on the men’s side—save for a heavy black palette, the lineup was relatively straightforward, though perhaps marginally more streamlined and skate-centric than the de facto Rag & Bone beat. But Wainwright said something to make the observer think: “It’s about trying to twist the slightly clichéd American clothing that everyone’s gotten maybe a little sick of . . . the preppy, the rowing style . . . I wanted to see how we could twist that idea.”

What manifested was a workwear-streetwear hybrid, rife with trim urban basics like terry sweatsuits and lo-fi black baseball caps with subtle diamond logos, which Rag & Bone uses discreetly. Wainwright said that it all spoke to the tenets of the brand—tailoring, utilitarian wear, technical clothes, military clothes—which it did, and did very well at times, but in other moments, one was left to wonder: what is it, exactly, that warrants my couple hundred of dollars for a pair of slouchy chinos or a crewneck sweatshirt? What’s the extra incentive to pick this, in a crowded contemporary market? Some of the men’s collection needed more of a grab, more of a convincing reason to get behind it.

“It’s the idea of an endless summer,” said Felipe Oliveira Baptista of his men’s and women’s Spring Lacoste collection today, “and all of the things I like about the season—ease, comfort, a natural state.” Fresh off a vacation to Brazil’s Bahia coast, Baptista nailed his mellow intentions with a lineup that was airy and crisp, and far less standard than what one might expect of the famous, tennis-rooted crocodile brand (although Lacoste’s runway shows are more directional than preppy). In it, he offered clothes that also inadvertently took on a more metropolitan, but still athletic, edge—hoodies, throw-on pants, and a general sidewalk slouch were all bonus byproducts of Baptista’s plan of attack.

“I guess you could say it’s a bit softer and less technical,” added Baptista, pointing to a river rock–red polo shirt (Lacoste’s most famous product, no doubt). This particular shirt, however, looked amply weathered, as if bleached under the Bahian sky. “We washed the piqué so that it’s like you’ve had it for 10 years,” he explained. The same effect was true of a long piqué dress, worn by model Mica Arganaraz.

Part of the collection’s overall faded-and-flowing look owes its blanch to Capri’s Villa Malaparte—Baptista was inspired by its sunburned colors. He also took the aesthetic and applied it to a mood; there came a selection of bathrobes and wraps à la Brigitte Bardot in Godard’s Contempt. “Baths and robes, sensuality, and the sun-kissed,” said the designer.
