Our Strange Obsession with Joe Exotic and how to get the TIGER KING Look

If you haven’t seen Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, you definitely have to add it in your quarantine Netflix agenda; and believe me you will finish it by this weekend. ( 7 episodes documentary - limited series)

The true-crime docuseries plays a serious logic game with you as it unveils all the crazy adventures of Joe Exotic and his antagonists ( Including mysterious murders, drugs, illegal animal sales and more). Watching it you might have a small cultural shock (at the beggining at least) but while watching the episodes it becomes addictive and you finally become strangely obsessed with the characters and their personal style.

Our favourite style persona is definetely The Tiger King - Joe Exotic. Mr Joe delivers a very unique kitch style which becames ‘‘cult’’ and trendy in its own way.

Vogue’s editors note: ….Filled with animal prints (natch), sequins, and tie-dye, his look is cowboy drag filtered through a lens of bad taste and shrooms. The result is horrible, hypnotic, and shockingly on-trend!

Well, I have to warn you though… living our most difficult period at home and watching ‘Docuseries’ TIGER KING can be a dangerous combination… Don’t be surprised if we come out of this lockdown with mullets, DIY piercings, and home tattoos.

If you finally fall in love with his crazy and ‘in-style’ look check out your wardrobes and I am sure you will find some statement pieces to create your summer look.

Our favourite menswear trends for A/W 2019

After August and the summer vacations, everything gets back to ‘normal’ and September seems to be the ideal month for window shopping and inspiration for our winter looks. Below you will find some of our favourite fashion trends for this autumn/winter season for inspiration and ideas for your new autumn look.

Leopard Coats

Animal print is getting bigger and bigger in menswear fashion. Designers continue to honour the trend with the AW19 collections full of animal print coats in many different colours and lengths.

Cargo Trousers

Cropped or oversized with big pockets on the side - that’s the latest design obsession on trousers as we see the traditional cargo trousers to take the lead on the runway in so many different earth colours..

The Army look

Khacki and army patterns come to conclude the ‘safari’ inspiration for this winter. You will find the army look in different pieaces and styles; dare to mix and match.


FACES

That’s definetely a womenswear trend which was always on top ( we love Christopher Kane’s looks for AW2016). Even though this year we noticed so many designers that promote the trend on men’s clothes and we actually like the new proposal. Pop-Art patterns are our favourites.

Puffer Jackets

Always classic but with the ‘safari’ or the 3D aesthetic, the puffer jackets come to conclude our wardrobe essentials for this season.

50 shades of Grey

Grey is the most popular colour of the season with the tailoring combinations to be on the top of the list. Masculine, modern, minimal and always tailored.

Celine Men AW19 at Paris Fashion Week

n his debut show for Celine – now sans accent – in September, Hedi Slimane made it more than clear what his intentions are for the house. If anyone thought that some of the reactions to that show would have an effect on his vision, his first men’s show for Celine spelled out a big fat – or indeed very, very skinny – no. In fashion, as in life, there are certain forces that will make themselves heard. Slimane is one of them. He believes in his own vision to its utmost core: from the mechanical light installation that fanfares every show (this time it was a huge geometric ball) to the stick thin models that walk his runway (a new one turns 18 every minute), to the emerging rock bands that score his collections (the irreverently named Crack Cloud), and the vintage-inspired aesthetic that embodies his garments. No matter how deep you search, the ultimate proposal of any of his collections – and indeed the one he showed on Sunday night – is in essence the brand of Hedi Slimane.

Seasonal collections, however, are put in the world to propose something new for the immediate future. So how do you, as an observer of such collections, approach the work of a designer, who believes so strongly in a consistent point of view? You could read into Sunday evening’s Celine collection and say that it proposed a more cropped and roomier tailored trouser, or that its suiting evoked the tie-wearing Patrick Bateman yuppie dad tailoring of 1980s’ Valentino; only cut for a much, much skinnier frame. You could talk about the glitter and sequinned pieces, which were no doubt of a notable artisanal value. Or you could point out the obvious nostalgia – or was it wistfulness – that existed within the collection for the mid-2000s when indie music culture was at its high and everyone looked like the boys, who walked the 2019 Celine runway. What has to be stated – for the sake of the history books – is that Celine menswear, which didn’t exist under Slimane’s predecessor Phoebe Philo, was brought into the world looking like this.
