Bow (Down) Job

1. Alasdair McLellan Self Service No. 23, 2005
2. Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane Fall/Winter 2005

Reminiscing about Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane is always a solemn act, pre-ceremony-worthy, wrapping good moments in glittery lurex, decorating it off with a soft, big, blown-up bow. Happy Holidays!

2. Lanvin Spring/Summer 2014
3. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2014

1. Yves Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane Spring/Summer 2000
2. Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane Fall/Winter 2002

À propos Lamé: opposed to what was delivered, admittedly, this is what I hoped and longed for. A return to the luxury of camp. Instead we got dusty sincerity.

Once you define a theme and establish it as core of an unapologetic and atheistic world order, your beliefs are more than just denominations. They become manifestations of a self-centred religion.
