Jimmy Choo // AW12 // P*rno Camo
If you’ve even the most passing interest in menswear, and you checked out the photos of Pitti then the explosion of camo as a trend can not have escaped your attention. Now I don’t know what it is about the current economic woes or more that seems to be making editors and tastemakers flock to this, but I’m loving it. Is it a desire to hide away? Or perhaps an attempt to butch it up and tough it all out like a brave little soldier? Who knows?
Jimmy Choo for Autumn Winter is certainly embracing it, with Bond-esque pinup silhouettes in varying shades of olive, and chocolate making a print that is likely to get you noticed. It covers shoes, bags, wallets and scarves. I love it!
But what of the rest of the collection? Well every range has grown or been tweaked. With core ranges evolving and shapes being nudged a bit more rounded here, a tassel removed there, it’s without a doubt still an exciting range before you even get into any kind of naked lady camouflage. With printed ponyskin, mixes of flannels and fabrics, and more I really loved the collection.
Now I wont lie to you and say I’d buy it all, frankly there is no way I would have the nerve to attempt the Jimi Hendrix inspired python looks. This isn’t that I don’t love them, far from it, I’m just not brave enough. You however should be. No really you should, the boots are fantastic!
I am a complete lover of quality craftsmanship and having felt the suede on the below shoe I’m in love! I also adore how is coloured on the inside and therefore the seams. Brilliant way of adding a flash of bright to a winter look.
There is of course more, so much more to the range, trainers, biker boots (also having major wants for these!) bags (the lust level goes without saying on these). The fact the lovely ladies at Jimmy Choo furnished me with coffee on a freezing Milano day did nothing to dissuade me of course, but I really can not wait for these to drop in store. And as for the scarf well it’s been a long time a naked lady was drapped around my neck if I’m honest but for Jimmy I’ll make an exception.
Vomit // Kanye Cover Art // Scarf // Accessories
Thank you GQ.com for bring this beauty to my attention…..
Remember when Kanye released that album, you know the one that looked like some primary school child had found their dad’s copy of Razzle and went crazy with the poster paints. Yeah that one, you know the one that wasn’t so much NSFW as just a bit crap really. Well now you can buy it, as a SCARF!! One that costs €250, I’d say worth but I’ve always been taught it’s rude to lie. And to spit, but that’s not for here.
Kanye being a general douche aside, this is possibly one of the worst pieces of self promotion I have ever seen in my life. The man is fast becoming a real life version of Two Face. On one side we have talented musician, Jesus Walks & Gold Digger (pre Glee) are fantastic, and to give credit it where it is due, 99 times out of 100 he looks impeccable. He’s even said some clever things about the vomit inducing gash La Lohan produced for Ungaro.
On the other hand we have the above, we have his general demeanour, and that stage invasion. It’s like Jekyll and Hyde.
I really do not like using this blog to bash things. It’s why Uggs, meggings, and girls wearing trainers with suits dont appear here. But for this I will make an exception. Kanye, take your head out of your hoop, make some great tracks, wear some even better clothes, finish that fashion degree and stop letting preteen artists near your porn!
ps: I’ve just noted the gentleman on this offending item looks like a badly drawn Tony Blair.
