Correction: it was shot by Steven Meisel. At least, I think so. I wish we still had fashion-iconography.

justaguy, any chance you could post the rest of the Helmut Lang story? (page 347)

Also, thank you for all your work.

Miss those feel-good issues that weren't too deep, just 'here comes the summer!' (also, it feels like we never saw enough of Ana Claudia, she was great, such a 60s face!). Miss seeing Kostas Murkudis' name and work, too.. it seems he's still active, it's just not the same and a part of me understands people that continue to create on a more healthy pace outside the 3 capitals but they also tend to be the same people that left a void and are still so desperately needed. That said, reading Helmut's article gave me a bit of hope.. he's not some extraordinarily gifted Messiah, you just need people with solid education, able to criticise/resist and with the type of sensibility that comprehends a variety of fields, not just 'fashion fashion fashion' (besides, exclusively fashion-minded types are so terribly boring..).

Never knew about that Gisele moment lol.. and I guess she never walked for Helmut again! If I was in her position, I would've done the same thing tbh, that my way or the highway+I'm-creating-a-myth-here approach! ..

^^^ I tend to not take in everything designers have to say. Their fashions speak best for why I’m a fan, and that’s about it.

The covershot is very Tommy Hilfiger… Doesn’t even look like Gisele. Or Meisel.

But as usual during this era, the pedestrian catalogue cover selects were never any indication of the rich content within. Seeing Mario’s and Bruce’s stories— and depicting the same concept, shows how much alike they were in showcasing sensuality. joy and energy of a moment, and yet absolutely approaching from such a distinct perspective that were all their own. These two men's creative visions remain such distinctions of the industry and whatever they deserved for their ousting, their vision of beauty can never be replaced (...and certainly not by any of this new generation's lessers). It’s almost a kind gesture that their last works were so poorly conceived before their banishment form the industry, since it makes it so much easier to see them go. If they were still around shooting, and so poorly— like Annie, I’d likely feel resentment towards them.

^ That's fair enough. It's not really about taking everything in for me, but making it a part of the puzzle when understanding the place they're coming from, similarities with their colleagues and certainly when trying to understand the place we're currently in (considering socioeconomic context, of course).

Just looking at their work is not informative enough for an explanation on how their work is sustained (logistically) or when trying to compare what makes an 'up' and a 'down' in an industry, which.. during the downs, may result in a lot of whining, resenting the 'now', and bitterness that could've been avoided when seeing these graphic shifts from highly educated, intellectual, creative types that offered, as people, even more enriching ideas than their clothes alone reported, to a devalorization of all of these foundations (coming creators and consumers alike) voiced out often explicitly, starting from pushing for a break from 'serious fashion', to cynicism towards 'pretentiousness', mockery, irony, a celebration of everything that's explicitly shiny and corporate and applauding those who make it there, ultimately leading to an absence of these types and an abundance of airheads whose idea of fashion is socks with a logo and who, when you read them in interviews, explain so well why their clothes look the way they do and why generally, fashion week looks the way it does: they're behind critical thinking, do not value anything too demanding (from their garments to the way they wire their head around them), generally seem like they can't even articulate basic English (when this is seemingly their only language) and their laughable interactions with other fields are simply an exercise for 'brand building'.
