Why can't we see this in Australia?
I dont think any of us do Corrine.LOL.Should we start a hunt? I like their style but truth is in australia we dont have the culture to support these labels and what they produce. Straight men would not buy enough of this for it to become easily accessible. We have surf/pub/wog culture here. I love a few of the pieces and would wear them, non of the fluro as i think Stevie has done its fair share of creating more neon than vegas. Unless ur a gay man or have a girlfriend that influences the way u dress men will dress the same. How long did it take for hetro men to wear pink?? Id love if more guys took time to put an outfit together(i know there are some on here that do), no longer than 250 years ago men wore more elaborate hats and clothing than what woman did.Minus a chrinoline or 2. Id ache!

I think that's a pretty fair assessment, the majority of men in Australia just still don't buy good quality / know how to dress, nor do they appreciate the ones who do dress well. I wonder how long it will take for that to change.
The questions is Tania - when will "WE" change it. Tis a very powerful thing this website. haha
Post by GODandShoppingThat's a nice mix, I can relate to some of that myself.
wow good question - i'd say it's eclectic-iconic-melbournian
Bit of Dior, Balenciaga and Number Nine - throw in some vintage (well a lot haha) - and something obscure and random like Gaspard Yurkievitch, Comme Des Garcons or a drop crotch pant
and you're almost there. haha
yourself?
My style is definitely tragic Dior Homme hipster haha, channeled through my love of 70s music and subculture, my English heritage, vintage clothing, Hedi's silhouette and my own dark colours and textures.
Suits, boots, scarves, layered knits... Kind of conservative structures, but rich textures and with embellished pieces from Dior Homme, bits and pieces of Balenciaga, Burberry Prorsum, Rick Owens, Petar Petrov, Cloak, N(N), basics from Acne, April 77, Band of Outsiders, YMC, Skull, American Apparel, accessories from Margiela, Neil Barrett, N.D.C. Plus various prototypes from my own collections and vintage pieces =)
Do you think James. If anything i see the culture going backwards. I see the group of 17-25 year old still copying each other. No individulaity at all. And thats across all catagories of men, ethnic backgrounds, sexuality, etc. What Australia needs is more boutique style shopping rather than this overwhelming shopping centre environment. Bridge rd used to be great 5 or 6 years ago when it was little simple shops etc.Now its just more chain stores selling generic clothing. I dont think we will see a shift for quite sometime. But i say this to not only the men on this site but to the women. When you walk at the door you can inspire one person to look at themselves and wish to dress like you. How oprah!

I dunno TootToot - (not to brag - no really lol) but I see a lot of my mates who's dress sense are very influential in their wider social circle. They wear very ... "interesting" pieces from labels such as Demeulemeester, Raf Simmons, Number (N)ine, Diet Burcher, Lone Costume, Margiela - and because most of them are rail thin, have good skin and fantastic hair - they can pull it off really well - which explains all those drunk chicks in the toilet cubicals at Seven on Friday - but eh they're young. LOL jks jks.
But just remember these are guys who are "into" their fashion. Those who blindly copy each other are...well let's just say those are the ones who hang out at Southland and Chapel St. LOL. But the kids who are into it, the ones who I know, I consider them my equal rivals in fashion. Their closets are ZOMG! haha Damn 16 yr olds
Point is - I think if we all continue to lead by example - things may start to move a lil bit faster than we think
