They’re doing it here too. See, an actual Fashist knows that both are true. Bianca Jagger didn’t just get married in a white suit.
White suits were her Thing. &White on white was Mahogany’s thing too. It was Epochal. Men & women, the finest of the fine. Think…Saturday Night Fever, even. A mood board is rarely just 1 thing. & a mood rarely just hits one haus.
The one person who knew what everyone was wearing tried to use the Shogun goddess as a pawn.
It was an attempt to throw shade. At both Law Roach & Zendaya, but it was something that Zendaya & Sawai handled elegantly.
Remember…Law Roach still refuses to dress Zendaya in the frocks & flippers of the designers in a certain someone’s coterie who racistly Refused to lend Zendaya clothes – not even Just early in her career.
They wanted him to beg. Instead he waited until they were begging him. These juggernauts are full of…people Being shady as fuck for dumb reasons as many chances as they get to behave badly. Never forget that.
To anyone with even faint love for the fashist game, him helming the shoots for the Met Gala co-chair covers was positioned as an armistice/parlay/peace offering between parties.
If it was really a kiss the ring session & Law …nah’d…
Trying to trig a ‘bitch stole my look’ sitch on the latest bipoc beauty they’re going to prime & prance around , & in turn “just let the internet be idiotic~” is an easy rebuke. Of said prophesized…nah.
That’s Why … when Zendaya didn’t bite… the Helmer jockeyed in on ET or something trying to clean up her wannabe fashion roadkill mess she’d willfully tried to make(or, at the least fn approved) before Sawai saw what she had tried for what it was.
&…the suit Sawai came in just happened to be from Dior, one of the ateliers that had refused to dress Zendaya.
…I hope someone close To Anna Sawai…can peep her to the machinations trying to “All about (affirmative action) Eve” her so she won’t play…or will at least outmaneuver the old guard & use them before they suck the life out of her. Because it’s unfortunately an old gaslighting trick.
It’s not about talent. Sawai is fn amazing.
& The powers that fashistly be…. wildly, willfully, & actually quite woefully… Poisoned her First invite.
To stick to an old waspy ruse.
People Are/ have been galvanized into sizing up the two gorgeous, vividly talented 30s-adjacent women… in search of puckers in $20,000.000 ensembles through racist tribal 👓 (spectacles).
& The powers that have been… threw that into the mix because They are racist & can’t bear too many non-them women winning at once.
People are stupid. The fashion industry is not helmed by that stupidity. They’ve just enjoyed decades of getting to trigger it at will in the masses.
That guard… likes to pit all non-waspy chicks against one another. & it is ONLY passive-aggressively on a good day.
I truly hope…somebody connects Sawai & Roach & Zendaya….so they can…speak.
I hope Sawai’s stylist is some bad assed genX style head too & not some handler ready to do the bidding of whosoever. I have hope… due to the gambatte crew she rolled in with.
If they would have invited this kid back this year who actually is the epitome of/ or what 21st century dandyism is supposed to be about (historically speaking)…
he’d have supernova’d.
he would have made everybody look like trash .
…because it’s not just he’s f****** gorgeous & creative.
the fashion history head on this kid is obscene-
he knows his s***, he embodies his name [WISDOM]… and he’s doing all of his own editing.
he’s done[past tense] s*** that these magazines are going to do- illegally copy – across the next 36 months. Without giving him credit, if no genX scrappy fashist mugs are around to warn them not to.
& these fn fashist zoomers & alphas will fn RIOT when they do.
These fashion brands are going to copy all his shit for their campaigns and will need teams of 20 people to pull off what he’s doing on his laptop at home.
…with his own f****** closet.
He is what the truth IS in menswear’s soul, circa 2025.
&he is just unspoilt, happily doing his thing. Kid is styling And walking shows. To his spec.
He’s the literal Holy Terror OF what most folks incorrectly think is Fashion. He isn’t triggering consumption in these kids.
He’s triggering old school fashist head- which is selective as fuck. The industry has tripled on fake fluff. His Battalions will demand the real & won’t act like viruses.
Capitalist industries don’t want the sheep to think. They want them to blindly compulsively…buy… what those industrialists TELL them is the Next Big Thing.
They don’t wanna “make” nobody they can’t control.& and you can’t control somebody who’s already making themselves.
…but don’t worry.
Kid’s gonna be okay. His Battalions are already acting up lol.
IF they would’ve invited the kid…it would’ve disproved my call on the intent Of this theme pick. That they didn’t– even as a young Outlier-underscores all I said about this theme’s true intent.
…and it speaks to what even happens to the youngins they do pick. They feast /famine starved Galliano for years, season yo season. For fun. To tenderize him.
That part ain’t a color thing.
The rest of it…is.
Nevermind she waited till Andre Leon Talley was in the grave to do this theme at all.
The Gala is what it is. Always has been. & there’s no point in dogging a goose for not being a pigeon.
Fuck the Gala. Go see what the fuck they raise the funds For.
The Actuality of the Costume Institute’s EXHIBITION usually had some of the most imaginative displays of clothing in a gallery setting that you’ll see. A masterclass in set design, costume design & event design most years.
I used to go to the Met as they were setting the shows Up back in the day, just to study What they were going to Do with the gear. & then I’d go in early summer & just watch the flow of tourists through the show.
The Only window displays thaaat came anywhere near what they used to do were the Japanese brand flagships down in Tribeca, burn the box-wise. Fuck Out the box.
I’d bet 85% of those griping about Shaboozey’s badly tailored new clothes have no idea there’s a literal huge art installation keyed to the theme that may do the topic of manhood a bit better. But only because they’d walk rough & raw through it self-guided, bringing all of themselves to what they are seeing.
There WAS a potent way forward with this theme, boots on the ground.
Fuck the noise. I hope they nailed it.
The "problem" with Shaboozey's outfit isn't feminization. It's bad fucking tailoring & no fucking appreciation for the fucking Glory inherent in the actuality of the Male fucking form.
BUT WHAT IS most TELLING is that that shitshow was apparent from the fucking sketch. It didn't use an Ounce of what that kid walked in there with, as noted in that casual BTS snap. They didn't appreciate what that kid walked IN with at ALL.
He looks... liiike thaaat fn sketch looks. On the red carpet.
The Angel of Menswear, in pure For Fucks Sake mode.
The Met Gala is not about Kings. I'd offer that it is and always has been about Queens & Twinks. The flights of , wait for it...Fancy~ have nothing to do with Equillibed Maschismo or Masculinity. Never has.
So the people up in arms after looking towards it to reaffirm the general concept of Manhood are the ones in the wrong.
Don't Bitch about what you see at a Fete or Fest literally titled the BlackDandy~. Go fucking look up what the fuck DANDY has meant for over a century. Don't be rattled by how these motherfuckers are aiming at colloquially redefining it for your consumption, betting on your laziness when it comes to grasping the actuality of definitions.
Stop being mad at people coming on your back with nonsense when you were too lazy to look up the shit your ass is laying there bristling about. Stop wanting the fucking spotlight zo fucking fast that you overlook the intent of the fuckers defining shit for you.
The Met Gala is a Drag Ball. It gives no fucks for the feelings of those who arent invited to be the Belle of it. Just because you hear all kiiiinda bruhaha about it don't mean it has fuckall to Do with your reason to be.
You are who is looking for meaning in incorrect cavities.
They owe you nothing. & they're giving Everything...to their ...constituents. Everything aint for your virgin holes or whole ass.
Be grateful for that.
Here’s the thing: Anybody going to the Met Gala imagery pile up with the INTENT to compile a new Strong Male Archetype , Black or White…is doing the equivalent of shopping for blood diamonds at a truck stop. Never the twain shall meet…and if they do it will Only be in the most aberrative manner. Alot of of deadassed, gay assed noise is being made about this Black country kid Shaboozey’s outfit. BUT it’s a moot point.
