WAR MAGAZINE PARTY

War, what is it good for – catwalk shows, champagne, camouflage wristbands and eye candy. Great let’s nuke them all!

Last night’s WAR Magazine party provided hot looks in dark corners. Bumped into the ubiquitous Daniel Lismore and his band of troubadours. Last week I sat in a Catholic church, on Soho square. It was nice(yep nice, boring word but churches aren’t really rock n roll) and even though I’m not religious it felt strangely peaceful, not something I can say about any aspect of my life at the moment. I looked at the statues and was inspired by the draping of porcelain fabric. I went home and re-created a jersey version for myself. I’m feeling for monastic style at the moment and Daniel hit the nail on the rust rosary-bead wrapped head. All that was missing was an altar boy swinging an incense burner. 

I was dragged into a corner by Zack to photograph a gay porn comic book plucked from the right leg of this blonde boy’s pants. Not something that occurs on a regular basis I may have to go on pant inspection if this trend takes off. Always a good idea to have a porn emergency book in your pants I say.

Daniel Cousins my  Frog Prince pictured the other week at BBB was once again in tights – he’s a Prince, what do you expect? We’ve seen leggings on boys already so tights are just around the corner. Boreing history, tights were actually worn as tight as possible by men in Renaissance times for practical reasons whilst riding horseback. Apparently so desireable was a nice shapely leg that King Henry VIII used to stuff his calves – maybe you could stuff yours with porn! Padded calves or not, I’ll be on the look-out to get a full report together. On our last shoot, I cut the feet off some 10 denier tights and layered some sawn-off black jeans over them on one of our male models and it looked great! An easy way to work this trend for menswear.

Corset belts also trending strong for boys but that’s going to be a whole other post. 

I pictured this girl at the end of the night wearing a dress designed by her friend , the name of whom she’ll hopefully send me to blog about if not stock in the store. I’m loving all things pointy at the moment and I’m really struggling to let go of our pointy shouldered bandage dresses.

I had the opportunity to clink flutes with menswear designer Nico Didonia who has given exclusive blog invites to myself and MAW to his SS 2010 presentation – exciting times.
