Telfar the Trashista

Telfar
SS 2011 Menswear

In what seems to be a "recycling"spirit, Telfar comes up with this odd collection.

The secondhand-looking items, seemingly rescued directly from the dump, let alone a flea market, are, after a closer examination, actually flawlessly built and carefully put together for a balanced, stylish, yet apparently aleatory result.

Are we trying to convey an Ecological message?

Dear Pal: Yes, I know... bold experiments by fashion designers can be quite "over the top", and seldom make it to the streets. On the other hand, without their pushing the envelope, male fashions would definitely remain stagnant and gray.
Besides, fashion "shows" would stop being real "shows" if everyone on the runway wore the same stuff you see everyday in "real life". You need to spice things up with some extravagancy now and then. You can't refrain creativity... nor should you!

Footloose and Fashion-Free!

We are living exiting times in many senses: technologies allow us to stay in touch with people from around the word and humanity even starts reaching for distant planets.

When it comes to gender, we have gone a long way into accepting our ample, rich sexual diversity that goes way beyond the traditional gender binary: after many centuries of stereotypes, people finally start presenting themselves as bi-gender, non-binary, genderless, genderfluid.

Even cis-gender people, i.e. those falling into the conventional ”male” and “female” categories, are acting, even unconsciously, in ways far removed from traditional patterns: Ladies are becoming more assertive, while gentlemen are allowed to show their emotions and display their “feminine” side.

All this slow but steady modifications in our conduct, which I consider to be extremely healthy and honest, cannot help but being expressed in the way we dress.

Ladies wear pants and “power suits”, while the creativity, the flair, the colors, the design, which used to be reserved for the girls only, are finally reaching the menswear department. Males don’t have to settle for the same old boring, gray, stuff.

Skirts, heels, jewelry and flower-patterns in bright colors for men are not uncommon any more.

My blog, promotes designers and creators of non-conforming fashions.

WARNING: It’s not a blog about "cross-dressing". That's a word that hopefully will one day vanish from our vocabulary as everyone dresses the way they feel suit and that's that!

I'm pretty sure that all those creators benefit from the costless publicity and world-wide promotion they obtain from bloggers around the globe. As a matter of fact, many of them have actually recognized our work.
