The theater is located in Queens, one stop from Manhattan on multiple train lines. It's part of a larger arts center with galleries and studios and stuff, so it could be a fun outing!

Date: 2010-01-21 09:12 pm (UTC)You have mixed feelings? I'm pretty much on the universal, "ick!"
Slide 5 (velvet jacket and scarf with tote bag), I appreciate androgyny as much, if not more than the next woman, but I'm not a fan of the whole short cigarette pants with loafers thing on men. It always looks likes someone incompetent did their hemming to me. And trying to create a more female silhouette with the cut and half-buttoning of the jacket just looks like bad thrift store shopping to me. Actually (and thoroughly atypically for me,) I might have appreciated slide 3 (camo-esque print coat with double row of buttons) more if the the model was more masculine looking. I think the both the pattern and the cut would be better suited to broader shoulders. Slide 6 left me thinking "Stanfields? Really? I mean I get macho and Henley tops have their appeal, but long underwear? Really?
The less said about the luge suits and stocking caps of Slides 8 and 9 the better, but the leiderhosen-esque shorts and knee socks of Slide 8 induced complete bafflement even before the furry hats were tossed in.
Then there was Slide 4 with the "okay, that's sort of disturbing". I realise a lot of uniforms in WWII, including the RAF had that belted jacket look going, but the cut and colour sent me straight to the SS.
I was unimpressed with slide 7. In the prison/barracks-like atmosphere of the show, the guy wearing concentration camp style stripes was thoroughly creepy and distasteful. Having checked out the rest of the collection, all I can say is Thom Browne needs to get over his shorts and nazi fixations. Especially when used in combination.
On the bright side the suits in slide 1 were pretty great and I, for one, was delighted as hell to see the return of men's hat:-)

Date: 2010-01-22 10:22 am (UTC)As for the rest of the fashion show.
Slide Number one made me think of some sort of alien clone invasion. lol! Either that or a dance routine for a Las Vegas show.
#2 I thought was pretty cool, and very sci-fi looking.
#3 is just ick. With that pattern, one has to be a particular shape to carry it off. It's just not working for that model. Nor is the hair.
#4. Yup, 'Allo, 'Allo again. Herr Flick with his trusty Gestapo equipment. Innuendo unintended. I would like the bangs better if they didn't look so 'hair-sprayed'. (I rather like long hair on men.)
#5, I love that velvet blazer and the scarf, just not in combination. And I'll agree with the ankle pants. And is it just me, or do the sleeves of the blazer also appear to be a little too short? And I want to tell the model to put some socks on. The penny loafers look incomplete with no socks somehow.
#6. I really like this one. And the model has the shoulders to pull it off as well.
I think I would have liked the last pics better (especially #9) if there had been quite a bit more whimsy. As it is, they're a bit chilling.
