A freak of nature. Stuck in reality. I don't fit the picture. I'm not what you want me to be.

Fashion Soundtrack - when the worlds of fashion and music join forces - 4



who: Bill Kaulitz - frontman for the band Tokio Hotel
what: this kid is a couture freak and I'm just NOW noticing it
where: high fashion magazines, runways, stages... etc.
when: this entire time.




It all started with the DSquared2 Menswear Autumn/Winter 2010 show...


And from there, he's now being seen in Vogue magazines:
(most recent):




From a 2009 Special Edition German issue, wearing Karl Lagerfeld:



Men's German GQ, 2010:





His inspirations include vampires, (the NON Twilight kind...), and David Bowie, especially as the Goblin King in Labyrinth.

He does his own makeup, and reportedly designs his own stage costumes, the most recent of which is a futuristic, glowing, robot one which can be seen in their most recent music video for the song "Dark Side of the Sun":










Mister, where have you been all my life.
I think it's pretty safe to say Ella Anarchy has a new best friend.

REAL couturiers don't use the word "couture" in their company names.

I'm looking at you, Juicy.

I mean honestly.

Trying to put out terrycloth/cotton/polyester bullcrap at jacked up prices and calling it 'high fashion' should be illegal. Those clothes should be sold at wal mart.

I love those perfume ads with the pastel coloured doggies and the girls wearing giant bows as much as the next girly girl, but when it comes to your clothes?? I mean... GAH.

Americans are ignorant enough as it is. Especially when it comes to fashion. And throwing the word 'couture' at the unknowing masses so loosely is the equivalent of spitting on the meaning behind the word itself. A true couturier like Christian Lacroix should be the one spitting on YOU, JUICY!

Other offender: New York Couture... I forgive this company because it's such a young/unknown label. And I do actually admire their style. I own a couple of pieces myself. But still. They should really think about renaming the company... because quality wise, they're just as bad if not worse than Juicy.

I'm just saying.

p.s. I can't believe Juicy is still making tracksuits. STILL.

TRACKSUITS. NONE OF THEM UNDER $50. This makes me want to cry.


IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS THIS CONSIDERED A GOOD LOOK?!?!?!?!
