Something Eary going on..

Sumo is back in Dublin! Having spent the last two weeks immersed in Ibizan festivities, most girls would come home and debut their tan in an outfit involving white no doubt? Yes- I nabbed myself a tan with a solid army of freckles- Sargent pepper sprinkled across my nose!  Screw the white dress, I’m not a glamor model. 

Yesterday I put my efforts into plucking tan debut attire from the cavernous pit of sequins and leather that is my wardrobe and taking a break I glanced to my wall of inspiration where my eye was drawn to Katy Eary. A few issues back I ripped a picture from Vogue of a girl with a black, fringed leather dress, a gold casio watch, tons of gold jewlery, red lipstick, big blonde hair and a full fringe. I felt like I could relate to this aesthetic and added her to the ivy like wall montage of my room.

Eary is a perversely talented menswear designer who won’t be leaving BITCHY radar for a long time. Having completed a course in underwear design, she grew tired of women and big boobs quickly, deciding to take the menswear route instead. The precise techniques acquired in her early years can be seen in intricate tailoring, a staple in her menswear collections. Her last collection was imbued with miltary tones, featuring crytallized leather hats  and sumptuous fur coats. She’s a fan of blood stained t-shirts, feathers and gaffer tape too – some of our favorite things, endless possibilites.

 Her next colleciton has been created with a high five to William Burroughs’s Junkie- who knows what that will have unearthed! Maybe some think her designs are morbid? But morbid is fascinating no?

Yes, she’s a primarily a menswear designer but we at BITCHY know that sizing is going to be the only thing differentiating going forward. Check out the red military jacket below- pop it over some shredded leggings with big hair, bright lips and you’re good to go  go boys and girls! Miss Gaga seems to be blowing from the same trumpet- give me those epaulettes now!

 Keep a smoky eye out for updates on Eary’s new creations coming soon here.
