<p style="text-align: left;">Noi Flamboyants siamo sempre stati dei grandi fan di <a href="http://www.acnestudios.com/">Acne</a> (e la cosa è più che reciproca&#8230;) ma questa volta mi sento di dire che hanno superato loro stessi! In collaborazione con Luis Venegas, il creatore di <a href="http://byluisvenegas.com/zines/candy/">Candy Magazine</a>, &#8216;the first fashion magazine ever completely dedicated to celebrating transvestitism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny in all its manifestations&#8217;, il brand ha creato una mini-collezione composta da tre camicie (disponibili in denim o in crepe di seta) ispirate alle dive di Dynasty: il modello &#8216;Alexis&#8217; (con maxi-fiocco al collo), il modello &#8216;Krystle&#8217; (con maniche sbuffanti) ed il modello &#8216;Sammy Jo&#8217; (con ruches su collo e polsini)&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Questo è ciò che Louis ha comunicato riguardo al progetto: <strong>&#8220;Talking about the specific pieces we’ve created together, I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to play with the idea of adding feminine details to a classic denim shirt. I didn’t want the shirts to become “unisex”, in fact I wanted exactly the opposite. I wanted pieces that create a bit of gender confusion&#8230; instead of the unisex statement “For men and women”, I tried to make people feel like “Is this for men or for women?”&#8230; well, is for all the many types of men and women worldwide on 21st Century. Or even simpler, the idea was creating something like tranny shirts for everybody. Something relevant and open-mined.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Cosa dire, se non che sono dei geni e che le vorrei tutte? (anche se il rischio è che su di me l&#8217;effetto, più che Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter, potrebbe essere zia Assunta&#8230;)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">be seeing you</p>

<p>Following what is now turning into a tradition of bugging people we like and admire and asking them to answer our silly questions, I&#8217;ve befriended the fab Christopher Lee Sauvè of &#8221;Save Anna&#8221; fame and asked him to answer our Flamboyant Questionnaire, here&#8217;s what he had to say:</p>
<p>Christopher Lee Sauvé 02 09 : 18.36<br />
Sure thing! Love these questions haha here you go!</p>
<p><strong>DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 5 WORDS</strong></p>
<p>1) Obsessive<br />
2) Visual<br />
3) Loving<br />
4) Critical<br />
5) Energetic</p>
<p><strong>YOU WIN 80 FANTA-MEGA MILLIONS OF EURO AT THE LOTTERY. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU DO?</strong></p>
<p>Start a cool concept school/store for kids who can&#8217;t afford college to do art/design/fashion&#8230; Purchase a giant yacht and take all my friends and family on a trip around the world!</p>

<p><strong>THE BEST AND THE WORST THING IN FASHION?</strong></p>
<p>The best is creativity, the worst is Ed Hardy!</p>
<p><strong>ART OR BUSINESS?</strong></p>
<p>Warhol said business is art, but I think he was lying. Business is business and artists create art. I like to do both, I guess I am a designer.</p>

<p>Si avvicina il 9 Settembre, la serata di Vogue Fashion Night Out.  Quella sera tutti i negozi saranno aperti fino a tarda sera e ogni brand che vede la ghiotta opportunità di invogliare i clienti a comprare, ha preparato una limited edition di qualcosa: un abito, una borsa, una t-shirt. Da tempo non vedevo più nelle collezioni di John Richmond l&#8217;antico fervore per il punk e il rock più duro, quello stile underground che faceva parlare di sè durante i primi anni &#8216;80, prima di trasformarsi in un prodotto commerciale, adatto alle masse più che a una raffinata elite di estimatori del genere&#8230; e poi ieri, a sorpresa, una mail del suo press office con la foto della punk-tee. Mi si è accesa una lampadina di positività, che John sia tornato? Voi cosa ne pensate? Il messaggio è chiaro, essere punk è un modo di vivere, non una moda&#8230; c&#8217;è da credergli?</p>

<p><a href="http://christopherleesauve.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Christopher Sauvè</a>, the Iconosclast Genius that brought us the &#8216;Save Anna&#8217; t-shirt (which has personally brought me quite a few hours of joy..) is now back with, among other things, the <a href="http://www.cheanna.com/" target="_blank">Che Anna</a> project&#8230; here&#8217;s its manifesto:</p>
<div>
<h2 id="manifesto">MANIFESTO</h2>
<p><strong>This is a call to revolution to return style to its rightful  place in society. We must unite to advance sartorial consciousness  towards individuality and away from oppressive fashion imperialism. Go  forward with your eyes on the future, communicate it, live it, love it,  spread it. It is your duty, it is your obligation as a loyal follower of  fashion to bring STYLE TO THE PEOPLE.</strong></p>
<p>The project is Christopher&#8217;s personal style revolution, and as all good revoultions should, it comes with a great t-shirt, a bag and two downloadable images, and this being 2010, it&#8217;s own Twitter topic.  I don&#8217;t need to tell you that I&#8217;m reaching for my credit card as I write, I&#8217;m a rebel, you know, and revolutions don&#8217;t come so often nowadays, let alone with even a modicum of style&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh and it&#8217;s a bargain too, I mean 19.99 dollars to revolt into style, that&#8217;s cheap!</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.&#8221;</em><br />
Che Guevara</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flamboyantmagazine.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/LodenCloth1.jpg"></a>Per quanto io tenti in tutti i modi di scappare dalla Moda, lei mi segue tenacemente, e riesce a trovarmi sempre e comunque&#8230; anche nel Sud Tirolo, dove ho passato una paradisiaca settimana tra castelli medievali, chiese super kitsch in stile &#8216;barocco bavarese&#8217; e bagni di fieno&#8230; oltre alle centinaia di negozi specializzati nell&#8217;abbigliamento tradizionale del luogo, che personalmente amo alla follia (per un attimo mi sono convinto che avrei potuto affrontare TUTTO il prossimo inverno in giacca di lana cotta e lederhosen&#8230;), cosa ci è comparso durante un&#8217;escursione se non la <a href="http://www.oberrauch-zitt.com/loden-it.swf">Fabbrica del Loden</a>?</p>
<p>Il nome &#8216;loden&#8217; deriva dal tedesco arcaico e vuol dire all&#8217;incirca &#8216;balla di lana&#8217;, poi, per traslato, è diventato anche il termine per identificare non solo il tessuto, ma anche il tipico cappotto verde scuro con i bottoni di pelle intrecciata o di corno che molto probabilmente ognuno di noi è stato obbligato ad indossare durante l&#8217;infanzia&#8230;</p>
<p>Grazie ad un processo di infeltrimento della lana grezza, ed in seguito alla sua cardatura (che ne rende la parte esterna lucida e &#8217;scivolosa&#8217;) il loden è il primo tessuto impermeabile della storia, tanto da meritarsi l&#8217;appellativo di &#8216;Gore-Tex del Medio Evo&#8217;&#8230; in origine il tessuto era &#8216;povero&#8217;, utilizzato dai contadini per ripararsi dal freddo e dalle intemperie, ma divenne di moda quando la fabbrica Mössmer  nel 1882 confezionò un mantello bianco per l&#8217;imperatore Francesco Giuseppe. Così il loden, con l&#8217;aggiunta di un po&#8217; di lana merinos, passò dallo status di materiale &#8216;vile&#8217; a quello ben più &#8216;altolocato&#8217; di tessuto per abiti da caccia e montagna per la nobiltà austroungarica.</p>
<p>Forse tutto ciò interesserà a pochi, ma pazienza: sento sempre più forte l&#8217;esigenza e il dovere di combattere con ogni mezzo l&#8217;imbarbarimento di cui siamo vittime (compiacenti&#8230;) e, mai come in vacanza, il nostro popolo da innumerevoli dimostrazioni di inciviltà&#8230;</p>

<p>(from <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-389954/Vivienne-Westwood-collects-royal-honour-wearing-knickers--again.html">www.daylimail.co.uk</a> &#8211; 09/06/2006)</p>
<p>Fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood went to Buckingham Palace today without her knickers once again and wearing a pair of silver horns.</p>
<p>The style icon caused a stir in 1992 when she collected her OBE from the Queen minus her underwear and twirled round in the courtyard to reveal all.</p>
<p>This time, after she was made a Dame by the Prince of Wales, she shyly disclosed she was knicker-less again, adding: &#8220;Don&#8217;t ask. It&#8217;s the same answer. I don&#8217;t wear them with dresses. When I&#8217;m wearing trousers I might &#8211; my husband&#8217;s silk boxers.&#8221;</p>
<p>She insisted she would not be spinning around in the Palace to demonstrate this.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a different dress &#8211; that&#8217;s why I span around (then). I forgot.&#8221;</p>
<p>Today, she said her outfit &#8211; a black cap perched on the back of her vibrant orange hair and a black dress with campaign badges and the tiny horns on her head &#8211; showed her as an urban guerilla and a Che Guevara figure.</p>
<p>The tiny horns attached to her head were not the sign of the devil, she insisted.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a fantastic dress with a sort of net stole. My clothes reflect my political feeling.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m supposed to be a bit like a Che Guevara &#8211; an urban guerilla, with my cap, this kind of jungle net and a badge for my Active Resistance to Propaganda campaign.</p>
<p>&#8220;The horns &#8211; we need a new renaissance. We don&#8217;t have culture. It&#8217;s a pagan symbol. They&#8217;re attached by a wire round the back of my head. It&#8217;s only the Christian religion that says they&#8217;re anything to do with the Devil. They can be a fertility symbol and be about good things.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dame Vivienne wore thin lines of bright blue eyeliner over her eyelids and in place of her eyebrows.</p>
<p>Her shoes were black mules decorated with lines of studded metal holes.</p>
<p>She said Charles did not inquire about her undergarments.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, of course not,&#8221; she remarked. But she did disclose that the Queen apparently found the 1992 incident quite funny.</p>
<p>&#8220;I met a man who worked with the Queen and he said she was rather amused by it.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added that the Prince said he hoped her award would help her career.</p>
<p>Dame Vivienne said she was delighted with accolade. &#8220;It&#8217;s so beautiful,&#8221; she said holding the scarlet ribboned honour. &#8220;It&#8217;s such a lovely colour.&#8221;</p>
<p>She was joined by her husband Andreas Kronthaler, her elderly mother Dora Swire, and her eight-year-old granddaughter Cora Corre, who is also Malcolm McLaren&#8217;s grandchild.</p>
<p>Cora wore a green netted top and blue cap. Dame Vivienne said: &#8220;Her outfit is based on mine. She&#8217;s a little guerilla.&#8221;</p>
