and it’s about time me favorite menswear designer BERNHARD WILLHELM does something relevant with social messages. a sarcastic portray of superhero figures that reflects the american government's current machoisum for his S/S 2008 collection. overall a rather strange ensemble but really quite wearable individual pieces, definitely spotted a few items to snatch come spring, can't wait !:heart:

these aren't adds, these are lookbook images.. they should be moved to designers & collections...
 
no its definitely bernhard. francois just modelled for him. he's actually got quite fanbase with fashion people.....designer olivier bobin(aka fade)and he often collaborate...he models and he also has done some graphics for his t'shirts as well.

but i did not like this collection when i saw it in diane's blog(from the presentation) and i still don't like it. it just looks like silly p*rno costumes....like anyone's going to go out in an assless wrestler's singlet. it just feels even more thoughtless than before. the only one redeeming quality are the trainers. aesthetically it's hysterical but there's no substance at all. and yes,i am criticising bw for once...thought either or,i prefer his women's anyway.

oh i see :P just noticed it now
i think the same.. but i do like the stretchy fabric and some of the graphics on top of shirts look like armour
 
Bernhard Willhelm has officially turned into a walking homo-cliché.

I don't even think I'll elaborate on my thoughts on these 'designs'.
 
I like Francois, I like him those clothes, that's about all. The problem when you do a collection so literally based on gay/sex/club clothes you end up making gay/sex/club clothes. There must be more to this, what will the normal people wear?

You know, Francois studied at the Chambre Syndicale and worked in fashion before going into p*rn.

A lot of people have enrolled for such careers, and yes, I have gotten to know quite a couple of sleazy people in Paris, all of which I will be glad not to meet up again.

I don't think that makes the motivation any better to do a collection like this, however - it's Bernhard who did these bodysuits and the art direction, and there is certainly nothing in here that should be sold outside a fetish clothing store. the track jackets and sweatshirt are certainly not the news here, which is maybe why he needed a more fancy way to display it.
 
Hah, I was just mentioning it for trivia's sake.

I have to image there were more pieces offered just not shown, I mean really?
 
Oooh Francois is goooood :D :clap: There's more pics on his blog! I wont link there because it's kinda explicit :P

^incl. the image of him banging the car pipe? :lol:

i have absolutely nothing against francois...in fact,i really loved his imagery when he collaborated with olivier so my feelings really have nothing to do with him at all or the fact that he's in p*rn. but this is just much too comical even for bernhard. i thought i had seen it all....american footballers,military training clothes and such. and at least before,there was always redeeming qualities to spot but i just can't imagine how anybody can relate to any of this unless you are in p*rn and it's part of some cheeky(no pun there!)costume role.
 
and btw,walter van beirendonck also did a sex themed collection this season and even if you looked at it,it was much more condusive to reality than this is.
 
just saw his blog.. you're right about it, jjohnson :ninja: deleting my history now :innocent:
here is some of what francois says about the collection
...I love all the underwear and gymsuit/swimsuit spirit of the collection...
Please its a "second degré" photoshoot.
The whole part of Bernhard Willhelm's work was inspired by the 70´s GayPorn/erotic star Peter Berlin that I briefly saw at the gayvn awards this year...

Hmmm I wonder how much of this Seven New York is going to pick up....
 
Sagat!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll check the collection later...
wow I didn't know so many people know Sagat (and esp. his relationships with the fashion "underground" ppl as Fade etc.) ... there are insiders onto tfs... ^_^ or some p*rno lovers...:lol:
that's fun because I saw Sagat yesterday evening... in his bathroom... naked... on tv...

Peter Berlin is a very famous p*rno star... I won't say my pseudo comes from there... or people'll take me for a pervers! :wink:
here he is (for you to see the inspiration) :
