Paris Menswear: Rick Owens, Comme de Garçons Homme Plus, Givenchy, Raf Simons, John Galliano

24 Jan 2009 03:34:07 PST

Written by Anna Battista
My Italian self would like to praise Riccardo Tisci’s collection, but my objective self is restraining me from doing so. Tisci’s second menswear collection for Givenchy doesn’t seem to be too different from what he did previously and I honestly doubt that everyday mature men would really like to go around in shorts (though perfectly tailored), leggings (though in luxurious materials) and bandage shoes (though architecturally interesting). Member of the Boxxet Network of Blogs, Videos and Photos The hieratical atmosphere that haunted Rick Owens’ Spring/Summer 09 New York catwalks seemed to pervade also his menswear collection. Some of the models wore his signature veil-like headgear and black - in different shades, shapes...

Brave and bold new world: KTZ

03 Jan 2009 03:05:03 PST

Written by Anna Battista
Take the Autumn/Winter 2008-09 “The World to Come” collection with its sculpted knits, jersey separates and sophisticated yet practical sequinned dresses or the Spring/Summer 2009 collection with its adventurous robotic and erotic designs, with shiny and glossy fabrics in vivid nuances and appliquéd gems that form surreal faces and geometrical patterns on mini-dresses, sweats, leggings and hoodies. Just by looking at this collection - a mix of ready-to-wear, urban wear and modern art - it becomes easy to understand why the brand has become in just a few years extremely successfully and well-known not only in Europe but also in the rest of the world.
