              ugh I really don't like him. Too many idiots I half know idolize him.

                that guy is a prime example of what happens when you are already a dickhead and people give you credit for it and proclaim your dickheadedness as a champion of the avant garde when in reality you are a dickhead who made a terrible tattoo decision.

                    he has a smugness to him and, at least to me, he is a walking gimmick. don't get me wrong, i am all for smugness but i attribute his fame to celebrity endorsement via "lady gaga's stylist" and mugler. i do respect all of the work that mugler did in the early 90's and late 80's but i try to call them as i see them. i very much like theatrics and the grand show but there's a time to draw a line when design takes a backseat to the pomp of it all. it's still afternoon here and i havent had too much coffee so i am posting grumpy. sorry

                      I don't know, I haven't met the guy - would be hard for me to call him a dick. Cannot tell from pictures if he's smug or not. If anything I feel rather sad that he, essentially, has to resort to being a clown in order to make something of himself. As I am getting to an age where adulthood is knocking loud and clear and I meet the ex-punks who are now scrambling after realizing that they have essentially done nothing for themselves, I become sad.

                      I guess what I am trying to say, where will this guy be when he's 50?

                        yeah i can't really judge someones character based on my perception of them from their outward appearance. just seeing him in the front row in studded everything reminds me of the misappropriation of the whole punk/hardcore look done in a circus-y way, recent balmain collections come to mind. clown is absolutely the correct word for him. characters like him making a splash in fashion makes me wonder if good design is enough or if you can garner equal--if not more-- notoriety/attention based on the theatrics of it all (re: mugler/gaga/formicetti/this guy). when this guy is 50 i am sure he will try to parlay his gimmick into a behind the scenes position in an industry that partially embraced him sheerly for him being a clown who is willing to goto extremes play the part. it is quite sad. much like a lot of individuals who grew up in punk scenes, when the mystique wears off what will he be?

                          That, to me, is just where fashion is at the moment. A collection of characters that have been appropriated by companies to better tell a story or display a 'mood.' And Mr. Genest definitely isn't the first. After a few years his mystique will wear off, people will move on from the tattooed man look, and look elsewhere.

                              For reference, i met him outside of Duckie Brown (of all places) and asked to take his photo. His response was more conceited than any "male model" I've ever approached. He was "posing" out front like many bloggers do outside the shows, simply there to draw attention to their branding. After I was done shooting he sent me away with the sweeping of his fingers. So, smug, he is, indeed.
