FINALLY THE OLD HEDI WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE!!!

 

[Mr-Dale]

Part of a Paris fashion week review, regarding this collection. Found through www.yahoo.com

PARIS (AFP) - Hedi Slimane reinvented the modern rock star with a 1960s touch for Dior, and Givenchy offered a dose of youthful, laid-back chic to close out the spring-summer 2006 menswear shows in Paris. if (window.yzq_a == null) document.write("");if (window.yzq_a){yzq_a('p', 'P=hB5tR0LaS.b8yo5xQslXHgM5U3ZhnULK7eoABJza&T=15r46dh7j%2fX%3d1120595434%2fE%3d95959686%2fR%3dnews%2fK%3d5%2fV%3d1.1%2fW%3d8%2fY%3dYAHOO%2fF%3d621120337%2fH%3dY2FjaGVoaW50PSJuZXdzIiBjb250ZW50PSJlbmVyZ3k7c2tpbjttYW47aG91c2Ui%2fS%3d1%2fJ%3dA4A949D1');yzq_a('a', '&U=139a0r5ol%2fN%3d3c0tB9FJq20-%2fC%3d354793.6708480.7663438.1442997%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d2816225');}

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger provided the real rock-star power in the front row at the high-energy Dior show, while Slimane turned to up-and-coming British band The Rakes to provide the soundtrack.

Slimane -- himself a great music fan -- sent out would-be rockers in low-riding stovepipe trousers held up by tiny red suspenders, black shirts, skinny ties, two-tone patent leather shoes, cropped jackets, and jaunty hats.

The look had a decidedly 1960s flair -- grunge is out, hipster Scottish band Franz Ferdinand is in. Jackets were cropped in the back but had tails in the front. Slimane even offered a bolero in red plaid.

For a more glam look, the French designer offered the skin-tight trousers in leopard print or silver sequins. A black jacket with white music notes would suit the aspiring singer looking to make an impression.

For evening, a satin tuxedo is sure to please both Slimane's male clients, such as top designer and front-row guest Karl Lagerfeld, and his female admirers, including several actresses on Hollywood's A-list.

isnt that 'our' Boy on the first post MrDale?
he sure looks cool

 

[haydn]

finally, i can wear suspenders again.

i love the jackets.

not sure how i feel about the cropped up jeans and pants.. with the white socks, its a bit michael jackson

 

[purechris]

thanx guys

I'm interested, but as usual, not entirely sold......

love the 2 tone shoes that remind me of my old creepers......the red jacket in the first post is AWESOME!!!!!!!

can't wait to see more!

 

[Lena]

short trousers seem the highlight of the menswear season
love the two tone shoes, very rockabilly king

 

[VICTIM]

i love everything about this collection so far the clothes seem to be slimmer than in previous seasons (which means i should probably lose some wieght lol) i cant wait to see the show especially the music because i like the rakes

 

[thras]

I love the checkered jacket, not too sure about the suspenders and wearability though. Good show, but I prefer SS '05.


I can't seem to find the signature belt. I sure hope the suspenders weren't it.

 

[MulletProof]

i dont like this at all. i hate those hats. i know i'll be virtually killed for saying this but i think it's so so poorly original, take those libertines' characters, franz f. + carlos d. and you have the entire collection.

 

[EdK]

no one seems to be wearing a belt, and haydn is right it is very michael jackson.

 

[VICTIM]

^"take those libertines' characters, franz f. + carlos d. and you have the entire collection."

thats what i like about it i feel great now i just got some red rubber braces from vivienne westwood

 

[Lena]

i find it more '60s UK/Carnaby street than MJ to be honest

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

I like that cropped jacket...finally, boleros for men!

 

[birdofparadise]

I think this is very, very sharp:

 

[purechris]

VICTIM--I'm sure the Westwood suspenders are better

Mullet--the hats aren't the issue it's the way they are placed...ala Ducky in Pretty in Pink (and I completely agree with the Carlos comparison...)

I'm digging the small collars....nice change from the high collar stand in menswear for the past few years.

I like the short pants, but would either do a black or coloured sock...or none

 

[VICTIM]

^yeah my westwood ones look a lot stronger i love the sharpness of this collection though i do love the higher collars on a stand i think this is a good changei like the short trousers (no socks) i dont know about the mens bolero -i like it but i'm not sure about its wearability

Lena - i definatly see the 60's carnaby street and not really michael jackson - glad i'm not the only one
