Checkmate! CHECK CHECKERED PLAID OVERLOAD
One of the biggest trends next fall for men is the good ol’ check and plaid pattern. From Givenchy to Galliano, it seems a lot of the designers sent out checks and plaids down the runway.

YES! I fucking saw all of the collections (so far). YES! I saw many things that I love. YES! I fucking counted them all. You don’t believe me? Well, I’ll post my tabulation on my next entry. YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES! Haha. I really should fucking get an award you know, for services rendered to fashion. Whoever said I’m un-hireable should fucking suck my dick and lick my fat arse. Just kidding. The message is LOUD and CLEAR: if you’re not wearing any checks, plaids, grids, squares or whatever the hell you call em, you might as well jump off a bridge, head first. Now click click click check check check!
MILAN
Let’s start in Milan because they’re super hardcore over there.
D&G is one of my favourite collections AS A WHOLE. To see all the looks side by side it felt soo… complete.

Alexander McQueen

DSquared2

Etro

Costume National

Krizia Uomo – btw, YAY for sending a big black man to open the show. Progress!

Vivienne Westwood

Burberry Prorsum by Christopher Bailer. Top notch collection, this one.

Moschino — this is the only "check" outfit I saw out of all the looks.

Emporio Armani — same as Moschino, this is the only check/plaid outfit.

PARIS
Gaspard Yurkievich

Kris Van Assche

Givenchy

John Galliano (I love this collection!! You should’ve seen some of the other pieces. Soo strong!)

Junya Watanabe Man

Kiminori Morishita

Yohji Yamamoto

Rykiel Homme

Dries Van Noten

Number (N)ine

WHEW!
My god. That’s a lot of check and plaid, innit?
Sooooo… what do you think? Who do you like out of all of the designers mentioned above?
PS. Can I just say that if I see one more check/plaid pattern I’m gonna start shooting little children? JK. Haha!
I love you all!










Burberry was designed by Christopher Bailey, not Bailer.

OMG! So much for plaid check being a distinct Burberry thing! It looks like every other designer is going to be jumping on the plaid bandwagon this year. I guess the question is, will that help or hurt Burberry in the long run? Will people be drawn to new, more daring designs by other brands, or will the overall trend help Burberry’s business?
definitely, the boxers at Kris Van Assche! :-D
D & G and Moschino Rocks the Fashion Week I guess
Ew, that’s one ugly trend I’ll be happy to skip. I like Emporio Armani because it’s so American Gigolo and Junya Watanabe.
