Invitations to Michael Kors F/W 2011-12 arrived with this photo of how Kors looked in 1981.
While women's fashion can change drastically from season to season, menswear has NOT moved one iota in 30 years (proof is in that picture!!).
Is it too much to ask men's designers to jump on the fashion train and come up with some ground breaking designs. Think outside the box!!! The same shirt designs, the same jean designs, the same sports coat designs in a different fabric, a slight dart here or there is not new fashion or groundbreaking--IT IS BORING!
It's 2011, aren't we supposed to be in V-like jumpsuits or 2001: A Space Odyssey white? Designers: don't just laugh at those costumes on TV or film, try designing them, try putting a spin on them--just do them. Give us something new!!
Adding a bigger flap pocket and huge stitching with white thread is NOT groundbreaking, we're talking to you True Religion or slimmer, skinnier suits for the office, we're talking to you Prada.
In the sixties, designers were looking to the future: female liberation, with the mini skirt; Courreges drew inspiration from space travel to create clothes with circles, squares, triangles.
Come on Prada, Gucci and Marc Jacobs find inspiration in the next liberation: gay rights. Look up in the sky and design what we would wear to travel to Nebula 555. Think outside the box! Break some new ground!!
Fabulous, darling
