Madcap England Retro Print Suit + Style With a Smile Link Up

You may remember seeing this Madcap England retro print suit before; I featured it in this post in July. On that occasion I teamed it with a white shirt and yellow bag. This time I’ve added more colour with a bright green top and bag. Even though it’s not the same shade of green in the suit’s floral print, I’ve made it work by doubling up with the bag. As I wore this for work I chose trainers…

Skyfall is a good movie. Frankly, all the Daniel Craig bond films leading up to it were good movies. Pivoting from the 06 Casino Royale’s re-contextualization of spies in the post-9/11 geopolitical landscape, Skyfall is about the consequences of the wars we fought before and the mistakes that came back to haunt us following the actions we took in those wars.

Skyfall was released in 2012, 11 years after the twin towers fell and 9 years after the 03 invasion of Iraq. We’d killed Bin Laden and now had to deal with ISIL, who’d not yet bombed the Ariana Grande concert but had at this point grown in power as a result of the US invasion in 03. Setting up the villain of the film (and his horrific disfigurement) as directly the result of MI6 decisionmaking only for him to come back and blow up MI6′s iconic HQ is evidence enough that Skyfall is a retrospective on a decade of war on terror that seems to have done nothing.

There are no better ways to show how tired and old Bond (and the empire he represents) is than to have him fail his fitness tests while in Winston Churchill’s old bunker. A waning icon of a waning empire in the decrepit remains of said empire. It’s a perfect exploration of the intersection of postcolonialism and the war on terror.

Given that the last Daniel Craig film I’d seen before starting Skyfall was Glass Onion, I watched Skyfall with the “I’m so glad that Craig stopped playing Bond so that now he can dress in sweaters in fun movies” criticisms in mind and frankly, I found they fell flat. For one thing, Bond does wear sweaters in this (very fun!) movie (as well as a cute blue adidas tracksuit with matching shoes!), but on top of that I’m starting to realize this criticism of the modern bond franchise (and other films like these) comes from the sort of people who still use the word “grimdark” for their media criticism. Just like those who unironically use “dudebro,” their contributions to serious discussion are limited. Doubly so for Skyfall because this movie is fantastic and balances tone elegantly.

I will admit that Skyfall takes a serious tone when addressing things like “the fall of the 20th century western imperialist old guard” and “thematic explorations of the war on terror and the mistakes of those gambling with the lives of millions” (If you were to try and write those into something finally similar to Trolls 2 it’d be difficult though not impossible) but I will argue that the movie is still self aware enough to understand itself as a pulpy adventure film.

This isn’t Moonraker or anything, but Skyfall is self aware enough to know what beats to hit. The villain monologues and then challenges Bond to a flintlock pistol shooting match. They keep the main bad guy in a dorky sci-fi glass prison cell. The action finale has goons (did I mention that there are goons?) showing up in a helicopter to attack a castle. They even pull the old DB5 out of mothballs so Bond can threaten the ejection seat trick. Bond fights off an evil lizard in a casino at one point. Imagine the movie in 60s Technicolor and the bones of the plot are just as camp as Goldfinger.

The movie is clearly self-aware and plays into the campier story conventions of a genre the franchise it belongs to basically started. It just doesn’t have characters shrug and go “*gulp* he’s behind me isn’t he?” Instead of lampshading the more ridiculous aspects of pulp characters from the 60s and 70s, Skyfall is so darn earnest about how cool these are. It’s self aware yet charming in its seriousness! (Jots down “James Bond Skyfall = Solarpunk?” into margin of notebook and is never heard from again)

Movies like Captain Marvel can’t say the same, and only half of that is because you can’t write a critique of Bush and Obama era imperialism while also shilling for the USAF. It’s because they can’t be serious in their ridiculousness that they end up being less campy (ashamed of truly trying) and less adult (too silly to take seriously) and ultimately less fun than movies like Skyfall.

That’s ultimately what Skyfall is. A Pulpy country-hopping spy flick about modern spies operating in shadows that are getting more cynical with every conflict. It’s not Dr. No but it’s immense fun that explores themes few other franchises are tackling these days. That’s worth a lot more than whatever Ryan Reynolds/The Rock spy film is dealing these days. And Daniel Craig got to wear a dark powder blue tracksuit too.

adidas SPEZIAL Gazelle SPZL

adidas SPEZIAL announces the new Gazelle SPZL silhouette as part of the AW23 collection curated by adidas archivist and Spezial founder Gary Aspden.

The Gazelle SPZL is modern take on the classic adidas silhouette which combines different elements of late 60’s,70’s and 80’s Gazelles. The upper specifications are completely re-worked and the shoes use a new foxing tape with an accentuated mix of textures as a nod to their ancestry.

The Spezial range is celebrating this certified adidas footwear icon with 2 versions – the first being a bottle green suede with white stripes that features a traditional ‘dimple’ tongue with a white eyestay that gives a nod to the early 70s West German version. The second version comes in a navy colourway inspired by terrace classic ‘Tahiti Marine’ and features a suede upper with flock stripes (a material never before used on Gazelle stripes) with a suede tongue that features a woven branded label.

Both colourways of the Gazelle SPZL are available now through the adidas Confirmed app and select retailers.

AWAY DAYS

フットボールを語る上で外せないのが、カジュアルズ（Casuals）というカルチャー。イングランドでは毎週末にサッカースタジアムに通う労働者階級のファッションを“Football Casual”と呼びます。

英国のユースカルチャーはモッズ、ロッカーズ、テッズ、スキンズ、パンクなど、常に音楽を背景にして発展してきましたが、カジュアルズはフットボールファンの中からはじまり、スタジアム内外のフットボールファンの間、つまりオーディエンスから発展してきたカルチャーです。ここが他のサブカルチャーとは大きく違う点です。

そもそもカジュアルズとは70年代の終わりに、何千というリヴァプールのサポーターたちがチームに帯同してヨーロッパをまわりアディダスのスニーカーを手に入れ、それを履いてロンドンのチームとの試合に行く、それを見たロンドンの若者たちが衝撃を受け真似たというのを80年代に入ってから雑誌がカテゴライズして広まった言葉です。リヴァプールでは自分たちを“スカリーズ＝Scallys”と呼び、カジュアルズはロンドンでの呼称として広まりました。

今回は1979年のポストパンク時代の英国、マージーサイドが舞台のカジュアルズを描いた作品、「AWAY DAYS」という映画をご紹介します。

母親を1年前になくした19歳のカーティはアート学校を途中でやめ、叔父の働く職場で下級公務員として働いてい��す。家庭は中産階級で父親と高校生の妹と住んでいます。収入をクラブ、レコード、サッカー、ライブにつぎ込む彼は、ある日、ギャング集団”THE PACK”に所属するエルヴィスと出会います。

彼らはピーターストームにフレッドペリー、ロイスのジーンズ、そしてアディダスのスニーカーを履いてスタジアムで常に問題を起こしていました。お揃いの制服を着て肩で風を切り、街を闊歩するTHE PACKの姿は、中産階級のカーティには自分の周りにいない特別なものを感じていました。エルヴィスはカーティに“THE PACK”と付き合うことが危険であることを警告しました。

しかし、それよりもエルヴィスはカーティの様に芸術、音楽、詩、そして死について語り合える友人をずっと待っていたのです。エルヴィスはカーティに、Joy Divisionの「New Dawn Fades」を聴きながらいつも死について考えていると語っていました。英国特有の階級差だけでなく、同性愛要素も絡まり複雑で繊細な人間模様を描いています。作中の79年はホモフォビアが根強く、特にフットボールフーリガンのようなマチズモ全開の世界においては忌むべき存在で、カミングアウトできずに苦しみを抱え、部屋にロープを吊るし常に死を意識していました。

ある日の遠征（=Awayday）でカーティは成果を得るのですが、“THE PACK”のボス、ゴッドンに認められることはありませんでした。自分よりも、謎に包まれた存在のエルヴィスが尊敬を集めていることに苛立つカーティ、自分の想いが届かないことに苦悩するエルヴィス。次第に2人の溝は深まっていきます。

あらすじはざっとこんな感じ。

先の見えない将来への絶望や日々の焦燥が若者たちを暴力に駆り立て、やがて悲しい結末へと向かっていく、そんなリアルを描いた物語。エルヴィスとカーティの行き着く先の違いが彼らの階級差によるもので、対極な2人が交わって意気投合したり、ぶつかって離れてしまったり。2人の関係が崩れ落ちていくシーンは観ていて胸が苦しくなりました。どのシーンもずっとどんよりとした曇り空。それはまるで心の中を映し出しているかのようでした。

ここからは劇中のファッションの話を。

エルヴィスの家に訪れたカーティがadidasのスニーカーを見て「この靴は？」と尋ねるシーンがあります。これがadidasの”FOREST HILLS”。70年代後期に発売されたフォレストヒルズは、主にリバプールを中心とした北部で人気でした。当時最軽量（250g）のテニスシューズで、柔らかいカンガルーレザーとゴールドのソールとストライプが特徴です。もともとのソールは白かったんですが、人気が出たのはゴールドソールの再販版だったそうです。

その他にも”SAMBA”、”NASTASE”、”SMASH”、”MALMO”など様々なadidasのスニーカーが登場するので、そこにも注目して観ると、また違った面白さを感じれると思います。

90's adidas GAZELLE

今日オンラインにアップした”GAZELLE”もカジュアルズに愛用されていたスニーカーの1つです。1966年にサッカーやハンドボールなど、屋内・屋外問わずさまざまな場所でトレーニング（または競技会に使用）するために開発されたモデルで、ヨーロッパではプロサッカー選手に愛用者が多いことから、チームのサポーター達、特にカジュアルズ界隈では、定番モデルとして絶大な支持を集めたスニーカーです。

皆さん一度は見たことがあるであろうJamiroquai の “Virtual Insanity”のMVでも履かれています。1991年に豊富なカラーバリエーションで復刻されると、オアシス、ビースティボーイズ、マドンナ、ケイト・モスといった90年代を象徴するアーティストたちにも愛されていました。気になった方はONLINEまで。

そして劇中で妹に小馬鹿にされながらも「これが制服なんだ」とカーティが意気揚々に着こなすピーターストームのカーキ色のカグール。日本ではアノラックパーカー、ヤッケなどの名称で呼ばれているプルオーバーのジャケットをイギリスではCagoule(カグール)と呼んでいます。ちなみにエルヴィスはこのカーキのカグールを着ているシーンはありません。早くこの集団から、この生活から抜け出したいという意思表示でもあったと思います。

イングランドではリバプールのサポーター達がチャンピオンズ・リーグで海外遠征の際に着用し、他チーム特にロンドンのTerrace casual(ゴール裏のコアなサポーター)がカグールにポロシャツ、ジーンズ、アディダスのスニーカーといったファッション・スタイルをこぞって真似し始めたそうです。

カグールにフレッドペリーやラコステのポロシャツなどスポーツウェアブランドと合わせて着られていました。

ちなみにブログ内で何度か登場した”フーリガン”とはサッカーの観戦中に暴れたり、試合進行を妨害する熱狂的なサッカーファンのことです。フーリガンについてもまた改めてご紹介します。

そんなフットボールカルチャーを描いたこの作品。是非一度ご覧ください。

実店舗も営業を再開したのでまた是非遊びに来てください。映画の感想とかも聞かせてもらえたら嬉しいです。

What these brands have in common is their exclusivity appeal and creative collaborations with other brands. Having limited and exclusive drops creates hype for these brands, which is what we see when brands collab with childhood favorites such as the McDonalds happy meal or Cap'n Crunch cereal. These brands have proven to be major players in the streetwear community. Check back next week to see more streetwear related content!

Subcultures in Bournemouth

Looking for further design inspiration I wanted to look into subcultures within the youth of Bournemouth. Initially I looked at the surfing culture as the pier is one of the best spots here to surf at and is a key part of Bournemouth.

Bournemouth pier has long been a well-known surf spot, "first being surfed early in the 60’s by quite a few ‘radical dudes,’ the whole of the Dorset coast was then explored for new waves (which there were plenty of)."

Whilst many non-locals may not see Bournemouth as a surf spot, the pier offers sheltered along with a consistent break, attracting many local surfers.

Looking at how visual communication has been influenced by surf culture is a good starting point for how I can draw inspiration from this and put it into my own work.

A good point of inspiration is surfer David Carson. "He is the world’s most imitated graphic designer, at least among magazines that do “hip” and “edge” and who like to break every typographic rule there is while straight-jacketing themselves to another set of strictures".

Taking inspiration from surf and the ocean being wild and unexpected "six years ago, Carson designed, at BeachGrit‘s behest, 151 new logos for the WSL.

The existing logo, he said, “has no soul. The logo just doesn’t represent the sport very well. It’s pedestrian, unoriginal, forgettable,  safe, gentrified and corporate. All things surfing is NOT, at least to me.”

His creative style is clear in his designs and reflects his views on surfing culture and is something that could provide inspiration for my own designs and the way Bournemouth should be viewed.

Another notable subculture within Bournemouth is the "healthy growing skate scene with multiple cliques made of older OG's and a load of young rippers that can usually be found in any of the relatively okay skateparks surrounding our small seaside town".

"In the early days of skateboarding, skateboarders had to be resourceful and creative. They used DIY techniques to create their own custom boards and designs, which often involved repurposing old skateboards or other materials. This DIY ethos also extended to skateboard graphics, which were often hand-drawn or spray-painted onto the bottom of the boards. These early skateboard graphics were heavily influenced by surf culture, featuring waves, palm trees, and other beach motifs.

As skateboarding gained popularity in the 70s and 80s, it began to influence art movements like punk, street art, and graffiti. Skateboarders and artists began to collaborate, with skateboard companies commissioning artists to create graphics for their boards. The skateboarding industry also began to attract artists who were drawn to its rebellious spirit and DIY aesthetic. Skateboard graphics became more sophisticated, featuring intricate designs and bold colors that reflected the energy and attitude of skateboarding culture."

"One of the most influential skateboard artists of this era was Jim Phillips, who designed graphics for Santa Cruz Skateboards. Phillips' bold and colorful designs featured skeletons, monsters, and other irreverent imagery that became synonymous with the skateboarding subculture. Other prominent skateboard artists of this era included Vernon Courtlandt Johnson, who designed graphics for Powell-Peralta Skateboards, and Pushead, who worked with Zorlac Skateboards."
