teamuncoolfashion likes: DON'T F*** WITH FUHRER

Fuhrer is the brainchild of Shaun Gardner, Jason de Villiers and Sean Metelerkamp, and whether you like it or not Fuhrer is here to stay. Fuhrer is more than just a tee company – it’s a tangible example of brazened originality, from conception through to execution. These three like-minded creative’s, these three friends, have created a brand that is underground yet accessible, a brand that is causing glitches of social contest and a brand that speaks to the masses without using any audio aggression. Bold aesthetic dialogues of red, black and white say it all.

Givenchy Men's

by Stéphane Gaboué

Those who doubt Givenchy's clout in menswear should know that this summer's €1200 gold-studded sandals have been sold out for months. Riccardo Tisci seems to be well aware of the phenomenon he has triggered, as his spring 2011 collection delivered exactly what his fans crave. Despite a slightly disturbing atmosphere—i.e. hockey-meets-Darth Vader masks and the soundtrack to the cult 80's vampire flick “The Lost Boys”—the show was primarily about offering variations on the label's trademarks: shorts-cum-skirts, streamlined tailoring, pristine shirts (beautifully crafted in lacy fabrics), tight and short combos, bold prints (this time leopard), not to mention torso-baring latin hunks. And, as usual, browsing the front row was an interesting exercise, as it revealed Tisci's eclectic pop sensibility. This time, guests included French bad-boy rapper Joey Starr, 1950's Givenchy model Bettina Graziani, twin hip hop dancers Larry and Laurent, and the legendary image wizard Jean-Paul Goude.

Undoing

with Orlando & Frauke - Grahamstown Art Festival

– 12 minute Ankoku Butoh Performance

Undoing is a butoh performance series that explores modes of erasing the individual mind’s claim to the body. We pursue this radical point of erasure between object and subject in order to achieve a quality of emptiness. Once the individual has been eclipsed, the ego silenced, the body will be danced.

Concept & Music: Orlando & Givan Lötz

Performance: Frauke

Costumes: Black Coffee

Styling: Nicole Van Heerden

Photography: Brett Rubin

There a Danish menswear line called Jean//phillip homme whose Fall/Winter 2010 collection we think rocks.

The Jean//phillip homme Fall/Winter 2010 collection is primarily based on a monochrome color palette, this time adding a hint of the autumn leave foliage to it. The styles are developed on a rather icy minimalist look, which incorporates many layers, and detailed materials.

The classic Jean//phillip homme couture tradition with suit pieces can be recognized in some of the collection. Another of the designer’s signatures, a strong handpicked selection of experimental textiles, is also present. The collection blends leathers, stretch materials, wool, cashmere, silk, coated fabrics and knits. Once again, the Jean//phillip Homme F/W 2010 collection is another clash between couture and opulent masculinity.

teamuncoolfashion likes: FALSE ‘Disarm or Die’ Collection

It’s been a long time coming. Cult street label FALSE has finally launched it’s first collection of 2010, titled Disarm or Die. Everything we love about FALSE is back in effect – the signature monotone colors of black and white, the powerful graphics and the fact that everything is hand-screened. Quality thoughts at it’s finest. Grab the tees now at the FALSE’s new ANTI ANTI e-store.

“A call for action in the form of intelligence, a call to arms where no arms shall be required. A collective conjoining of minds to actively communicate, boycott, overthrow the powers that might be just by active choice. The choice to choose our own independent way of thought and way of seeing life. The choice to bring down the false illusions bestowed upon us.. Reality altering at will and on a whim, we see what we choose to see and thus we shall be what we choose to be. Disarm Or Die……..”
