satire meets sartorial flair.... both the clothes & people are unrealisitic in everyday life... & had a lot of money spent on image/branding.... & create hot-air/bs in the press.
today's fascistiestas strutting their wares are hilarious; but i can't decide if your renderings of rediculousity can compete with the real-world display held recently in beijing. okay, i'll admit it; janus can be way too hip for his own good. whatever the trend is, you can bet i'll be riding it all the way to passe. and when it comes to peasant smocks, my fashion-sense is telling me that they belong on paddy workers lashing flabby oxen across flooded fields. who knows, though...maybe i'm not in touch with what's cool anymore...janus has always been cooler than the underside of the pillow -- always cool before cool was or even could become cool...but sometimes your sense of things fades for no reason...you loose the funk, as they say. janus had it in mind that things would skew for women to long and dense fabrics -- plenty of pleats -- ornamented with elegant but subtle embroderies...lots of whites and soft pastels in a matted gloss. but since we're all told everything's headed east, maybe i'm just fundamentally oriented to the occidental. just a tasteless bigot. perhaps it will be smocks in the new-asian-century. everyone moping around in drabness and garments of gaudy geometric absurdity. such that we all may achieve mao & stalin's dream; a truly egalitarian society in which the workers paradise is effected in perfected homogeneity.
but, like i was saying, i need to stay close to the leading edge of things...if a the cool front is migrating to asia, janus absolutely must flow along with it; and so i will ask president xi to invite most honorable janus to bejjing next year so he can call-off the action on the catwalk. it will be hirarious; but i doubt i'll be invited back.
sure, the world is desperate for something other than amorica to emerge and arbitrate the balance of power and commerce and cultural vision...but i can't forget that a sino-world-order or for that matter a slavic-world-order nor most of the others peddling influence at that conference would be any better (especially for the west -- lots & lots of grudges burbling throughout the world's backwaters and hovels)...and there is every possibility that they'd be much worse.
but back to my dream of emceeing the action on the catwalk, i will go so far as to say that janus would forever change the way we think of fashion shows, emceeing and the world as we know it. i can see me now...
janus at the mic: "strutting down the catwalk is what's all the rage in this year's take on rigid androgyny. here we have a piece devoted to the rectangle. notice it's four-sided simplicity. is it a woman? is it a man? does it care what you think of its appearance? our model is representing a collection of inaccessible villages whose inhabitants can be forcibly sterilized, imprisoned, tortured, malnourished, housed like cattle and carelessly abused, all for a total labor cost of 18 cents an hour. do i have any bidders at one billion? the potential for exploitation is endless in this mosquito infested hell; one of the last untapped slave repositories in indo-chin is up for bid at just one billion...a veritable paradise for any penny wise commie-capitalist willing to bet one billion on the stability of this region's most recent coup de etat. okay, we have a bid from the UAE...do i see two billion?...i'm lookin at you, mr. oligarch...two billion for a generation of slaves and no questions asked..."
next model: "ah, what is this, a smock colored with something other than muted grey or army green or dried-blood-red? who let this insolent waif walk down the catwalk? who would permit the expression of individuality at such a show?"
i was outraged! and then, fortunately, the chinese secret police sprinted out to tackle and detain the trouble-maker. i expect that foolish model will be thrown in the black hole of despair for at least four years for this...and then a few decades of hard labor to make it stick.
next model: "this next smock is inspired by the cube. observe its symmetrical uniformity. its designers have high hopes for the cube-smock. what better way to disguise the onset of type II adult diabetes than a cube? and NOTHING is more popular in china right now than diabetes. the creative force behind the fashion house of mao, mr. ping-pong ching-chong, said he got the idea after gaining 240 pounds this summer. mr. ping-pong ching-chong is also said to be working on a special line for young dear leader kim jung un, with a cleverly designed pouch in the front -- perfect for storing delicious swiss cheese."
next model: "well, well, well...what do we have here...me chinese, be play joke, me put pee-pee in your smock? you heard me right, the future is with us today. what factory boss hasn't horsewhipped his workers for asking to use the bathroom more than once a day? now we can keep those tiny asian hands twisting and turning about in a frenzy of capitalism while they sit and relieve themselves at their most honorable work station. watch as your productivity graph goes parabolic when you fit your workers with this year's diaper-lined-smock!"
fashion sneakers might be more like it. the old school means of discerning the relationship between fashion and monetary (economic) policy was to measure hemlines. Bob Prechter still talks the ratio, and McLuhan as well. its all culture, we arent' sure what that is, but the leader needs to be outrageous and innovative, and experimental. but everything old is new again, so keep some gold in your closet next to the bell bottom trousers. and for these guys, the next big thing is who is the central banker willing to do MORE than it takes...
This looks like depression era clothing. How ironic. Not even enough fabric to reach the ankles.
Oh and would those be considered gauntlets on that douche? Bracers I think rather. Good for protecting your face from spit when people see you wearing them.

Lindsay Graham is missing in these smokin' hot fashonista photos.
Douche-bag poseurs, every last one of them.

love the kneepads. Sign of a veteran.
Great, but how do you make him look so, unworldly?
Hmmm. Never mind.
Speedy, Greedy and Seedy are tweedy.
I'm at that age now (north of the double nickle) where I am seeing for the second or third time something that was out-of-fashion repeat.
And I tend to see the same thing in clothing as well.
We're just sort of middle aged, CD. That touch of grey, the chicks adore.
On the other hand, how many 110 year olds do you know?:)
This looks like depression era clothing. How ironic. Not even enough fabric to reach the ankles.

Dressing up these Douche-Weasels in fine threads, does not help their Jack-Wagon Karma.
