Dear readers,

This Friday, September 8th, we will be hosting an intimate gathering for Geoffrey B.

A representative of the brand will be on hand from 4 to 8 p.m., to personally guide you through the collection.

Leon Emanuel Blanck Presented by Elixir Gallery

Last week, Elixir [Timeless] Gallery, located on the Greek island of Mykonos, held an event with the German designer Leon Emanuel Blanck. In addition to the anatomically constructed menswear that Blanck is known for, it was the first ever presentation of Blanck’s womenswear collection. The event also featured an art installation by the designer that highlighted his unique pattern-making process. Elixir now boasts the most comprehensive collection of Blanc’s work for men and women. Please find our photo reportage from the event below.

Comme des Garçons at the Met

One of the several questions that came to me as I was leaving the press preview of the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was, “Who is this exhibit for?” Or, to reframe it in broader context, what is the role of museums today?

Rick Owens: Butt Muscle

During the men’s fashion week in Paris some days ago instead of his usual quiet dinner at home, Rick Owens threw a dance party the day after the show. The occasion was a new video released by Christeene, a drag singer who is Owens’s favorite. The video featured Owens and his partner Michele Lamy doing what they do best, terrorizing accepted aesthetic and sexual norms. You can see the video on Dazed’s website, so we prefer to stick with the imagery from the party itself. Our crew was in attendance, bien sur. Enjoy!
