MOOD BOARD: GOODFELLAS

Recently I've been working on a capsule mens collection for Winter 2011. It's mainly an exercise in updating my folio, and I hope to have it ready early in the new year.

Though, since getting samples made is proving nearly impossible with the Christmas break approaching, I thought I'd post a few things that I've got on my mood board for next season. I'll try get around to posting a little on each theme in due course.

Earlier this year Men's Style posted a feature on the fabulous shirts from 1990 American gangster film Goodfellas, which left quite a strong impression. How awesome are the long, fanged collars? Vampire mafioso chic.

GOLDEN BOY

Memorable Comme Des Garcons SS07 editorial from Arena Homme Plus, Summer Autumn 2007 issue.

What's genius about this is the intentionally shit catalogue-style layout and graphics. It just looks so god-damn EURO! This could have come from a German mail-order catalogue, or boy band magazine from the late 80s.

Also the quotes are pretty special: e.g. 'The intention is to make gold the colour of the season', and 'Gold is the colour of the catholic church'.

THIERRY MUGLER

SCANDALOUS

LE JUSTE MILIEU DE LA MODE

Paris Vogue, February 1981
Photography: Guy Bourdin

February 1981 was quite a month for fashion, at least judging by that month's Vogue Paris. This Guy Bourdin editorial is just too much. From the mid-to-late 70's through to the early 80's, photo shoots often resembled stills from a movie. The composition of these images brings to mind elements of film noir with strong elements of mis-en-scene. And the voyeuristic ladies in the last two spreads are pure evil. Whatever happened to a bit of drama, story telling and creativity in editorials?
