Beyond The Leather Chapter 24: Valentines In London Found Me In The Trash

Friday, February 14, 1986

Today was the big day. I slept in Jess's room last night because I needed someone to be with instead of being alone in my room. I received calls of encouragement and excitement from Tamara and my family. I wished that they could be here but everyone is busy with school and work. Also it's my moms birthday so I did get to wish her a happy birthday. I got out of the shower and got dressed ready to go. Jess made a few calls before we left so I told her I would be put in the hall way waiting for her. When I stepped out and walked to the elevator pushing the button. I heard Nikki's door open. Nikki came out of his room with his hair in a bun wearing no shirt and black ripped Jean's. He's up pretty early. We looked at each other for a bit until I turned away hearing that the elevator has come. I then heard Jess come out of the room and lock her door and walk down to the elevator. Nikki started walking down to the elevator too. I held the door open and they both got in. It was silent and very awkward. He leaned on the elevator wall and glared at me.

"S...so are the other girls downstairs already by the limo?" I asked Jess trying not to look at Nikki.

"They should be. If not the limo will leave without them." She chuckled.

"Are you a model?" Nikki spoke up still shooting daggers at me.

I tensed up when I heard Nikki speak. He was still angry about yesterday. I didn't even check to see if what I wrote was still on his door. Anyways he already knows I'm a model so I don't know what he's playing at.

"Yes she is. She's also an actress, a very talented one." Jess spoke proudly.

He nodded his head. "Oh really! I thought she was a hall cunt. It was written on her door, my mistake." He grins smugly.

I grinded my teeth together, I shot him a dirty look. He's just lucky Jess is in the elevator or I would have used my heel to hit the smug grin off his face. I know violence is never the answer but in Nikki's case I would make an exception. The doors opened and we all got out.

"Wow that guy is rude." Jess points out.

I looked back at Nikki who went to the front desk asking the clerk for something. I guess this was the end of what ever we had going on.

________

We arrived at the actual venue and it looked amazing. People weren't here yet because we were still setting up but I could tell there was going to be a lot of people coming in. This was definitely different than New York fashion week. It was smaller and less chaotic. New York was hustle and bustle and people were running around all over the place non stop. But here everyone was calm and relaxed.

"All right ladies head to the back and start getting your outfits and make up on." The director shouted.

We all went to the back and got our clothes, hair, and make up did.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to our February London Fashion week. London Fashion Week takes place twice a year in February and September, showcasing over 250 designers to a global audience of influential media and retailers. It is estimated that orders of over £100m are placed during LFW each season. We hope you all enjoy your self and after the show, we hope you will all attened the reception. Thank you.

The show began and the models started the individual cat walk. I was so excited to see the reaction on everyone's face as we walked. By the end of the show all the models came out together and we wore the same outfits. The show was a hit everything went as planned and I was very happy about it. After the show we attended the reception. I took a lot of pictures with the designers and staff. And all us models took a group picture together. _____ Back at the hotel 12:33 am

The girls all came over to my room and we celebrated the first day of fashion week.

"One day down 4 more days to go woo!" Rachel shouted jumping on my bed.

Jade and a couple of the other girls were drinking wine. But not too much to get themselves drunk.

"Come on ladies we need to toast." Hilary says while pouring wine in the glasses. "Rach, Iman I know you two dont drink but for tonight we got to celebrate." She hands us a glass.

We both look at each other and start giggling. I mean I already got drunk before but it wasn't my fault. I guess I could have a tiny sip.

"Alright Iman how about we link arms and do this together." Rachel laughed coming to me.

"Ok but not too much." I giggled.

We both linked arms and sipped a bit of the wine. All the girls started cheering. We ended the night by taking several pictures with each other, telling funny stories, and exchanging phone numbers with each other. It was a night I would never forget.

2:30 am

I heard banging on my door. At first I thought it was just a dream when I heard it the first few times but now I realized it was really someone banging. I got out of my bed, turned on my bedroom light, and walked to the living room. The banging continued, so I went to the door and looked through the peek hole and noticed a familiar face that I have seen before. The man looked like he was holding someone up. I was a bit scared so I didn't want to open the door.

"W....who are you? I'm going to call the police if you don't get away from my door." I whispered shouted.

"Iman it's Andy...Andy Mccoy. I have Nikki with me he's in pretty bad shape. Please open the door love." He shouted.

I opened the door and in tumbled Nikki and Andy both falling to the floor.

"I...Iman help please." Nikki whimpered.

"Oh my God Andy what happened?" I asked getting down to help Andy pick up Nikki.

"Hang on love let's get him into your room." We both picked Nikki up. God Nikki is very heavy I felt like my back was about to break. We carried Nikki into my room and as we were getting him to the bed he threw up on my carpet.

"Here lay him down on my bed." I directed Andy while moving my blanket.

Nikki is layed on my bed whimpering and moaning in pain.

"What happened Andy?" I asked with worry.

"Motley were playing the first of two concerts at London's Hammersmith Odeon. And me and the boys in my band Hanoi Rocks came to watch the performance, and so did Brian Connolly from the Sweet."

As Andy is talking, Nikki gets up and runs to the washroom and starts puking in the toilet. We both run after him, and I pull Nikkis hair back to keep it from getting in his face.

"After the show, Nikki and I grab a taxi in search of scoring some hero... um drugs." Andy stutterers and scratches his head.

He's obviously not being truthful.

"We ended up finding a dealer on the street that shoots Nikki up inside a house, because he was already feeling too wasted to inject."

"Wait what? What do you mean shooting up and injecting?" I snap and grab Andy by his collar shaking him.

"Nikki passed out and I tried to wake him up by putting ice in his pants." Andy panics.

"I...Iman my body hurts fuck." Nikki whimpers falling on the washroom ground.

I turn around letting Andy go and try to pick Nikki up. "Help me put him on my bed again Andy!" I yell.

We pick Nikki up and bring him back to my bed. Nikki smells like a dumpster, mixed with alcohol, sweat, and barf. His clothes had barf on it so I start ripping it off. That's when I notice he had huge bruises all over his chest and shoulders. My eyes went wide and I looked at Andy.

"What the hell happened to him Andy? Who did this?" I was furious at this point.

"The dealer tried to revive him by hitting him all over with a baseball bat." Andy mumbled.

I wanted Andy to stop talking cause at this point he was only fueling my anger.

"When that didn't work, the dealer carried him outside on his shoulder to throw him into a trash dumpster. But Nikki vomited on his shoes and woke up." Andy mumbled again.

I looked at Andy and saw red. I cant even remember my fist connecting with Andy's jaw. All I saw Andy do, was fall back into my dresser and hit his head on it. I winced at the feeling of my knuckles in pain after I punched him.

"Iman I'm sorry." He pleaded as I started punching him while he was on the ground with my other hand.

"Get out! Now!" I shouted in anger. He got up and ran out the door.

"Iman it hurts, oh God my body hurts." Nikki whimpered.

"Ok hang on Nikki." I say walking to him.

I started stripping off his clothes until he was fully naked. He whimpered and groaned in pain as I touched the bruises on his body. How could someone do that to him. I put my arm underneath the back of his neck and my other arm behind his back and pulled him up to me in sitting position.

"I...Iman ffffuck!" He groaned in pain.

"Nikki I need to get you in the shower ok. Please try and stand up." I pleaded.

"O..ok." He breathed out.

He wrapped his arm around my neck and I wrapped my arm around his back. I lifted him up and we walked slowly to the washroom. I put the toilet seat down, flushed it while I was at it, and sat him down on the toilet seat while I turned on the shower. I could have easily just let Nikki sleep on my bed but he really stunk and I had to make sure that he had no open cuts on his skin. And if he did, they would need to be cleaned.

"Ok Nik I need to get you in the shower ok." I wrapped my arms around him and lifted him up.

"Iman my fucking chest fuck." Nikki groaned.

"I'm sorry Nik." I calmly mumble.

I get him into the shower and I grab my sponge and start to scrub him down. I turn off the water and grab my towel and wrap it around him and get him out of the shower. We walk back into my bedroom and I sit him down on the bed. I grab some of my Aloe lotion and start to lotion his skin with it. Especially where he has the bruises to make sure they dont get worse. As I'm lotioning his skin I notice on his arm that his cephalic vein had been punctured with what looked like needle marks. There was dry scabbing but also a fresh needle mark. I rubbed that part with a lot of Aloe. I walked back to the washroom to grab listerine. I grab Nikkis mouth and pour the listerine into his mouth. His breath really smelt like barf.

"Hang on Nik let me get the garbage so you can spit into it." I say running to grab the garbage. When I get back he has already spit out the listerine on my carpet. I sigh and put the garbage down.

"Ok Nik let's get you into bed."

I help shuffle him properly on to my bed so he can lay down. I move off the bed and take off my t-shirt that's wet from showering Nikki. I walk to the washroom and grab more towels. I spread one down where he spit out the listerine then spread one where he barfed. I walk over and pick up his clothes, I start feeling around his pockets for his room key. I finally find them and turn to grab my robe. I put it on and leave my room to head to his room. When I get to his room I open the door and his room looks like a war zone. Clothes were every where, dirty dishes were on the side of the wall, and the stench was overwhelming. I dropped Nikki's dirty clothes and walked to his suitcase pulling out clean clothes. I grabbed his clean clothes then left his room making sure to lock the door behind me. I enter back into my room locking my door and walking into my bed room.

"Iman...please.... I need you." Nikki let out a muffled moan.

I climbed on to the bed and cuddled with him. "I'm here Nikki." I whispered and kissed his chest where he had the bruise.

He was shivering and sweating so I lifted the blanket so it would be covering him and I wrapped my arm tightly around him.

"Please dont leave me." He groaned in pain.

"I won't." I whispered and kissed his chest again.

He rolled us over so that I would be laying on my back and he would be on top of me. He rested his head on my chest and wrapped his arms tightly around my back. I then wrapped my arms securely around him like he was a child that I had to protect from the monsters out in the world.

London’s Digital Showcase Underlines Importance of the Live Runway – WWD

https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2020/06/pree-ss21-lookbook6.jpg?w=640&h=415&crop=1

LONDON — Blindsided by COVID-19 — which closed their stores, shut their factories and forced them to stay at home — British designers took a great leap into the unknown, piecing together collections, films, exhibitions and creative projects for London’s first, all-digital fashion week instead of showing their wares on the runway, a familiar — if flawed — format.

In late March, as London locked down, the British Fashion Council snapped into action and started organizing the three-day event in a bid to give designers — who had been cheated of their fashion week, showroom appointments and spring 2020 retail sales as a result of the coronavirus — the chance to strut their creative stuff.

Even if those designers couldn’t show new clothes, the BFC wanted to give them the opportunity to engage with end consumers whom they need right now to shop. With all stores in England allowed to reopen as of Monday, June 15, the timing could not have been better.

The showcase, which wrapped on Sunday night, was a mixed success: Anyone looking for newness — and clothes — would have been disappointed because there wasn’t much of either.

There were some fun films, though, and lots of creative projects that gave viewers insight into the designers’ worlds. Some conversations and Q&A’s were interesting, while others ran too long and turned dull pretty quickly.

In putting together the new London Fashion Week site, which is now a permanent fixture meant to house designers’ digital assets, the BFC looked to Netflix and wanted to allow everyone to watch what they wanted, when they wanted.

While the events ran smoothly on the site, it is clear there is still much to be done in terms of improving the user experience; curating the multitude of content available on the platform, and building a sizeable, engaged audience that’s willing to tune in to three days of virtual events.

While the runway format may be under fire right now — it’s expensive, wasteful, damaging to the planet and to London designers’ limited resources — there is no doubt it remains an exciting, engaging way to show collections.

Like a West End stage play or a concert at the Roundhouse or the O2 arena in London, a fashion show is live entertainment with scope for surprise and spontaneity. Neither pre-recorded events nor livestreaming can match it.

Bruce Pask, men’s wear director at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus and a longtime advocate of British fashion (and one of very few U.S. retailers to attend London Fashion Week season after season) argued that a digital showcase is no substitute for “in-person shows, conversations, introductions and all other occasions and places where inspiration and discoveries can arise, often unexpectedly, while attending each city’s fashion week.”

Derek Blasberg, head of fashion and beauty at YouTube, which partnered with the BFC for the three-day London event, echoed Pask during one of the many scheduled talks that took place.

“Fashion week is the time when the industry gets together and plans their future. Of course, right now we’re all doing that over video conferences, but I think photographers, stylists, editors, makeup artists, models, hair stylists, and the rest of the fashion world looks forward to the day when we can sit in the same room and talk shop again,” Blasberg said.

Indeed, a lot of the online conversations that took place over the course of the event felt flat or repetitive — they ranged from designer diaries to chats around collection inspirations to designers’ conversations with collaborators and mentors. The online films, even when they were at their most charming, didn’t evoke the sort of emotion that a physical catwalk show usually does.

The viewer numbers laid this bare: Some online panels on YouTube got as little as 20 or 30 live viewers and Instagram Live presentations clocked no more than 200, maximum 300 views. Charles Jeffrey Loverboy’s lively online fundraiser for U.K. Black Pride, where he “passed on the mic” to creatives of color on Saturday night, was filled with some terrific live performances.

As of Sunday, it was struggling to notch 130 views on YouTube.

The consensus here is that the physical iteration of London Fashion Week is bound to make a return as early as September, depending on quarantine rules, social distancing measures and whether COVID-19 spikes again.

The BFC is already preparing for the return of the physical showcase. Last month it drafted a manifesto with the Council of Fashion Designers of America that looks ahead to a time, post-crisis, when in-person events can resume. The reset manifesto recommends that brands attempt to show during the regular fashion calendar and in one of the global fashion capitals.

While this first digital showcase may have been imperfect, it kept creative wheels spinning, gave designers a platform to shine, and forced them to experiment and to keep an open mind.

The event also gave a voice to a new generation that’s eager to address the industry’s knotty issues and rebuild the fashion system post-COVID-19. To wit, during his Instagram Live conversation on Sunday, the designer Matthew Miller said fashion needs to think beyond the catwalk, and align itself with different industries.

“We are so chained to the catwalk right now, but we need to be looking beyond clothes to design” in its greater sense, he said, adding that he’d be interested in creating more digital fashion with PlayStation 5, or working with the music industry, Netflix, Amazon Prime or Marvel Entertainment.

“It’s time for multimedia to start working together,” said Miller.

He wasn’t the only one looking to other media: It’s clear that many young brands are taking control of their narratives and business models rather than trying to keep up with the relentless pace of the traditional system.

Some, like Bianca Saunders or the LVMH Prize finalist Priya Ahluwalia, showcased personal projects. Saunders made a ‘zine while Ahluwalia staged a virtual photo exhibition. Both moves embraced the more current, forward-thinking attitude that Miller was talking about.

Kaushik Velendra, who debuted his label in January and began making a name for himself with a glamorous take on men’s tailoring using sculptural, defined shoulders, decided to keep things simple.

Instead of trying to come up with a full collection, he created one-size-fits-all shoulder molds and debuted them via a film on the LFW site. The molds can be added to any outfit, and come in black and white. They can be made to order or customized.

“Doing the collection I had [originally] envisaged was not an option. It got me thinking how I could design a piece that would work for now — potentially with little or no clothing underneath or when more dressed up. I was thinking about how one size could fit all,” said the designer.

Palmer Harding designers Matthew Harding and Levi Palmer chose to participate in the showcase via the now-familiar Zoom call, chatting with Tank magazine’s Caroline Issa about the story of the brand, their personal relationship — a one-night stand that turned into marriage apparently — and their signature shirts, instead of presenting any new product.

The duo also highlights a series of new commitments the brand is making to replacing the majority of their fabrics with natural or organic ones as of spring 2021 and incorporating a charitable element to their work through a partnership with Chayn, a charity addressing gender-based violence. They will also be shifting collection deliveries to avoid early markdowns.

During the three days, designers also banded together to address anti-racism and fashion’s diversity challenges. The University of Westminster’s Class of 2020 kicked off its graduation showcase with a demand for better representation at fashion schools, while Saunders presented her ‘zine with the photographer Joshua Woods in the context of a conversation about Black creatives and diversity in fashion.

Others chose to prioritize their brand message — and their end consumer — with smaller, more focused collections: Daniel W. Fletcher presented a fall 2020 see-now-buy-now range of just 12 looks, which he said is far more “aligned with the size of the brand;” Preen by Thornton Bregazzi created a seasonless capsule of signature dresses, while Marques’ Almeida debuted a new subsidiary line featuring one-off pieces made out of deadstock fabric.

Fashion’s ongoing diversity issues were also addressed as part of the “How to Become” conversation series between Wonderland magazine’s editor in chief Toni-Blaze Ibekwe and stylist Solange Franklin Reed.

“We’re going to see accountability and coalition — that’s the future. We started with representation and we have moved to inclusion: There’s a huge difference in power structure and the people who now have a seat at the table are ready to make sure we don’t get lost. It’s a time to rebuild and when you have systems where the typically privileged folks are no longer benefiting, it leaves room for change,” said Franklin Reed, who has styled the likes of Serena Williams and Tracee Ellis Ross.

Jeffrey released a capsule collection of knitwear, jersey, T-shirts, hoodies and accessories with splashes of color, and lots of placement prints, including sensual mouths, images of the designer with long lashes and kiss curls.

Restraint, upcycling and sustainable practices played a role in almost every collection that was presented during the event: Christopher Raeburn returned to his roots of repurposing military garments. Robyn Lynch worked with Rapha to source deadstock fabric and create a sporty capsule featuring pieces that melded technical fabrics with Aran knits, cut up and sewn back together.

The designers’ output this season also signals a shift to new creative and selling models based around one-off pieces or limited-run capsules that retailers will need to embrace.

During the three days, other designers switched up their presentations with tech, VR and special effects.

The Shanghai-based brand 8on8 debuted an immersive video to showcase hats from its upcoming spring 2021 collection. Anyone in possession of a virtual reality headset will be able to enjoy a panoramic view of the Shanghai skyline and the brand’s embellished newsboy hats. Gong Li, founder of the brand, has had to move his show date to August since most of his fabrics are stuck in Italy.

Stephen Jones, meanwhile, showed a preview of what to expect from his signature millinery for spring 2021. He did a video in collaboration with Noonoouri to show the creative process of creating a hat. The spring 2021 collection, which will be showcased in full in September, is called “Analogue Fairydust.”

Pronounce, designed by Yushan Li and Jun Zhou, designed a flipbook in response to the chaotic 2020, using the ancient folktale “Nezha Conquers the Dragon King.” The duo drew the story frame by frame with the brand’s signature rope element, in purple ink. Li said the flipbook is a teaser for its upcoming spring 2021 collection.

Tokyo retailer GR8 presented a series of short films with painter Motoaki Higashino, a great-great-grandson of Japan’s Emperor Meiji, talking about how he has embraced punk music and British design over the years, from Vivienne Westwood to Charles Jeffrey. The film’s backdrop was Meiji Kinenkan, a former royal residence where the emperor met with Albert Victor and George V in 1881.

On hearing she had won the Merit Award Tolu Coker said in a statement: “It came as somewhat a surprise and it’s also a challenge, preparing for a debut show because I’m a one-woman band.

Kendall Jenner emerges from her fashion week drought to walk in Burberry show

Kendall Jenner just walked her first Fashion Week runway this season, and it was for British label Burberry during London Fashion Week.

This marks Jenner’s first runway strut after early reports noted the model would not be walking in any New York Fashion Week shows. In an interview with W, Jenner said, “It’s always fun to be on the other side of things and get to be on the other side of the craziness. I actually enjoy it. I love being able to see the collections when they are brand new.” This comment was made in relation to Jenner’s decision to sit front row at Longchamp’s fashion shows this year and attend a few Fashion Week-related events instead.

However, clearly the model changed her mind when it came to Riccardo Tisci’s debut collection for Burberry. Tisci is the renowned designer most recognized for previously leading creative at Givenchy. He was appointed chief creative officer of Burberry in March after the departure of Christopher Bailey, who held a 12-year-long tenure at the British heritage brand.

Jenner’s return to the catwalk is notable for other reasons too. The model has previously opened up about her anxiety in an interview with Cara Delevingne for Harper’s Bazaar, where she shared, “I have such debilitating anxiety because of everything going on that I literally wake up in the middle of the night with full-on panic attacks. Where do I even start? Everything is so horrible, it’s hard to name one thing. I just think that the world needs so much love.”

The model opened up in a recent interview with Love about being on the “verge of a mental breakdown.” It was the same interview with Love that Jenner came under fire for her controversial comments about being “selective” with her runway shows over other models. “I was never one of those girls who would do, like, 30 shows a season or whatever the f*** those girls do,” she said to Love. “More power to ’em.”

This comment caused backlash from models. One, Ginta Lapina, wrote on Instagram in response, “We all are hard working and worked hard to be where we are. Nothing was given to us.” Following this, ’80s model Carol Alt called out the nepotism within the modeling industry.

Jenner has since addressed the comment, saying her words were taken out of context. She issued a response on Twitter.

I was misrepresented in a recent interview over the wknd & it’s important to clarify the meaning. It was intended to be entirely complimentary but unfortunately, my words were twisted & taken out of context.I want to be clear. The respect that I have for my peers is immeasurable!

— Kendall (@KendallJenner) August 21, 2018

I get to experience first hand their tireless commitment, their work ethic, the endless days, the lack of sleep, separation from family and friends, stress of traveling, the toll on physical and mental health, yet they still make it all look effortless and beautiful.

— Kendall (@KendallJenner) August 21, 2018

I’m inspired by so many of these people i have had the good fortune to work alongside! There’s no way i could EVER hate on that ❤️ i want everyone to win. SLAY ALWAYS.

— Kendall (@KendallJenner) August 21, 2018

During Burberry’s show, Jenner sported a classic trench coat and matching trousers with gold ring embellishments. She had her hair pulled back in a tight bun and wore stiletto booties. The collection featured Tisci’s take on classics from Burberry, like its trench coats, “check” (aka plaid) prints, and handbags. Silky dresses and pastel sheer blouses were paired with midi skirts and fitted trousers. Fanny packs were elevated, styled around tailored suits and dresses.

Will we continue to see Jenner at other catwalk shows in London, Milan, and Paris? Time will tell as fashion month continues.

If the catwalk collections for Autumn/Winter 2018 truly herald next season’s styles, we are all likely to be wearing face masks or head coverings come Christmas. In a series of shows, from Erdem and Richard Quinn, to Standish KA WA KEY, designers conjured with clothing as a form of disguise and camouflage to a degree that I have not noticed in recent years.[1] Working on a book about the history of fancy dress costume, this theme immediately stood out and made me think: what is it about the mask that makes it seem so relevant and appropriate right now?

Much of the immediate commentary on the catwalk collections for Autumn/Winter 2018 focused on the apparent conservatism of the designers’ creativity. A convenient explanation for the (relative) lack of exuberance and joie de vivre was the pervasive feeling of ennui that we all seem to feel, as reports on conservation, humanitarian, economic and political crisis recur throughout global news cycles. In some cases, designers acknowledged the malaise and angst as a creative spur for their sartorial outlook. In his last show for Burberry, Christopher Bailey focused on ‘Time’ and heterogeneity, endeavouring to celebrate ‘a patchwork of characters and identities’. Hussein Chalayan’s menswear collection was titled ‘Périphérique’, after the highway that surrounds Paris, and focused on ‘the tensions that ensue from unintegrated immigration’.[2]

Acknowledged or not, a sense of menace and unease seemed to darken the message of many of next season’s collections, and I think this goes a long way to explain models’ covered, or at least partly concealed, heads and faces.

The mask probably has as many meanings as it does permutations. In some cultures, masks can be transformative and change the essence of its wearer, temporarily rendering them divine. In other cultures, the mask provides its wearer with a ‘breathing space’ as they seek some form of privacy in a crowded urban environment. For many people, the mask is better known as a facilitator of fun and mischief, as it (partially) conceives its wearer and consequently permits them to break or bend accepted norms of behaviour.

The literature on the form and role of face masks and head coverings is necessarily extensive because most of the world’s cultures incorporate elements of facial concealment in their rituals and festivities, and have done from an early stage in their development. Red deer skulls, for example, carved into a human face mask, have been found in England and date from the Mesolithic period, between c.10000 and 5000 BCE (below, from Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology).[3] Today, the most visually striking examples of face masks (for a western audience, at least) probably come from West Africa, and here the scholarly literature is particularly rich.[4] But as Alison Kinney has shown in hood, the wearing of masks and appearance-altering headwear by groups as diverse as the Ku Klux Klan and teenagers, who conceal their identity beneath hoodies, is no less arresting in the west.[5]

The wearing of masks – however diverse the design and context – has (at least) one common element. Across cultures, chronology and geography, masks and head coverings are typically worn during a period of that anthropologist Victor Turner would call liminal, a ‘betwixt and between’ stage when conventional patterns of human behaviour and interaction are partially suspended and possibly inversed.[6] The donning of mask or head covering – whether worn as part of a public ceremony, or worn to scare people who are not welcome within a community, or worn to escape the pressures of one’s life for the duration of a party – commences a period of time that allows the wearer a physical and psychological space to (re)affirm or repudiate their place and role within the community.

The idea of social and political dislocation that came to be associated with the mask made it a problematic item of dress for governments and law enforcement agencies around the world. Not surprisingly, therefore, law codes from the Middle Ages to modernity frequently prohibit the wearing of ‘visors’ or ‘disguises’.[7] In researching my book, I learned that it is against the law to wear face masks in New Orleans beyond Mardi Gras today. Consequently, I am inclined to suggest that we have become socialised to associate the wearing of a mask with times of unease and uncertainty. This, I think, explains why it appeared, talisman-like, in a number of catwalk collections earlier this year.

The connection between societal angst and aberrant and innovative fashion is, of course, not straightforward. For example, the conventionally-held view that Christian Dior’s A-line skirt of 1947 did constitute a ‘New Look’ after the Second World War is now downplayed. The silhouette of the couturier’s designs may have been more accomplished and strident than that of his peers, but he was nonetheless indebted to them for inspiration; in this sense, Dior was more ‘in step’ with contemporary designs than an outright trendsetter. Nevertheless, a number of scholars, including Francesca Granata, Adam Geczy and Viki Karaminas and Therèsa M. Winge, are increasingly inclined to view the conception, creation and consumption of (contemporary) clothing and dress accessories as a form of (critical) commentary on society and politics.[8] Cognisant of the period in which designers, buyers, makers and models are living, these authors are more inclined to acknowledge the likelihood that incongruent forms of dress and appearance reflect social traumas or crises; Whinge, for example, argues that the ‘grotesque imagery and bodies-out-of-bounds’ aesthetic that was evident in the fashions of the 1980s was ‘influenced by feminism’s desire to open up and question gender and bodily norms … It was also tied to the AIDS epidemic.’ She suggests that ‘Experimental fashion often mediated the fears of contagion and the obsessive moral policing of bodily borders that characterised the 1980s and part of the 1990s and cannot be read separately from the powerful discourses of contagion, bodies and health surrounding the AIDS crisis’.[9]

In a similar vein, I think the prevalence of facial masks and headwear in the Autumn/Winter 2018 catwalk collections is a response to an ill-defined but ever-present feeling of unease. The incorporation of elements of disguise in contemporary fashions is not new, so what we are witnessing is perhaps more a difference of degree than kind. I am also not inferring that all designers to feature head coverings are, or were, fully cognisant of the mask’s myriad meanings. As Anne Hollander, among others, has indicated before, this is most likely an example of the ‘zeitgeisty’ nature of fashion; its ability to convey and articulate ideas that a majority perceive, deeply but dimly. The face mask, because of it polyvalence, is perhaps an ideal fit for designers when society’s messages become muddled.

Riccardo Tisci Named the New Chief Creative Officer at Burberry

Burberry has announced, Riccardo Tisci, as the new Chief Creative Officer of the House and will go into affect 12 March. After a decade of classic looks from long time Burberry designer, Christopher Bailey, I would say that this choice is a complete shocker. After Bailey announced he was stepping down from his lead role at Burberry and showcasing his last collection at LFW F/W 2018, speculation…

Kaj Designs Hosts Legacy Atelier

Mid-Luxury Fashion House Bids Farewell To 2017 With Exclusive Retail Experience

January 4, 2018 – Scarborough, Trinidad and Tobago… Tobago’s premier mid-luxury fashion house, Kaj Designs, will usher in the New Year and 2018 Carnival seasons with an exclusive Kaj Legacy Atelier. From Tuesday December 19, 2017, KajFAB femmes will enjoy 50% off all legacy items as the brand celebrates the bold, signature flair gained over its disruptive 12-year history in Caribbean fashion. Featuring both limited edition and one-of-a-kind creations from several Kaj collections including the resort wear of Shore Culture and Tribu Sauvage, the atelier will run throughout the New Year and Carnival seasons by private viewing only, while stocks last.

Kaj’s provocative innovation, the Signature Halter Lounge Shuffle, was first shown as part of the Shore Culture runway presentation at the 10th Caribbean Fashionweek (CFW) in June 2010 in Kingston, Jamaica. Photo courtesy Pulse Investments Limited.

In June 2010, Kaj premiered the barefoot luxury of the Shore Culture collection at the 10th Caribbean Fashionweek (CFW) in Kingston, Jamaica. The CFW audience welcomed the scintillating charms, textures and tones of the Caribbean as it set sail with the first-ever Kaj Resort collection. The fashion house presented a sea of undulating fabrics in rich tones of magenta, fuchsia and teal with flowing, easy creations befitting a luxurious vacation of leisure. Reflecting the sun-kissed iridescence of its Caribbean landscape, the collection lavishly drapes the feminine contour in ribbons of ombré and tie-dyed chiffons, silk rayons, silk satins, organzas and crepe georgettes with subtle accents in suede, leather, taffeta, coque and pheasant plumes and coconut shell. Designed with versatility and feminine comfort in mind, the effortless silhouettes of Kaj’s Shore Culture collection can be worn in the day and night, ideal for festive New Year and Carnival functions.

In June 2011, Kaj marked an historic milestone with its launch in the French Caribbean and the placement of the Kaj Resort line at Guadeloupe’s exclusive Caribbean boutique, KOD. This move established KOD as the first retailer of the Kaj brand in the region. In February 2012, Kaj received one of its highest honours as it was selected to represent the Caribbean in an initiative of the Caribbean Export Development Agency (CEDA) entitled Caribbean Collections. This initiative sought to create opportunities for access to European markets via participation in the British Council and the British Fashion Council’s inaugural International Fashion Showcase for Autumn/Winter (A/W) 2012 during London Fashion Week (LFW). For the label’s LFW debut, Shore Culture was favoured as it featured at an LFW-produced exhibition held at The Charing Cross Hotel while select pieces featured at a private showing at the Corinthia Hotel.

A trailblazer in Caribbean fashion, Kaj boasts several accomplishments that are irrefutable Caribbean fashion firsts. In a pioneering move to capture international markets, the Tobago fashion house made history with the May 2013 launch of its sophomore resort collection, Tribu Sauvage, in USA and Singapore. Kaj was the first Tobago brand at ENK International’s exclusive fashion tradeshow, Intermezzo Collections, a staple of the US fashion trade circuit. With its humble Intermezzo debut, Kaj successfully captured the attention of New York’s leading fashion industry publication, The Daily Front Row. Amidst more than 900 of the world’s foremost fashion brands, Kaj was featured in TheDailyFrontRow.com’s haute highlights alongside Alice and Olivia, Nicole Miller, L.A.M.B. and Rebecca Minkoff.

Later that same month, the brand led as the first Caribbean brand to exhibit and show at the international fashion tradeshow, BLUEPRINT, during Singapore’s fashion week, Asia Fashion Exchange (AFX). With its runway debut at BLUEPRINT, Kaj’s creations of bold tribal infusions set against a backdrop of wild animal and camouflage prints stood out among the pervading contemporary Asian aesthetic.

These favoured pieces later graced the runway at the inaugural Fashion Festival Bali (TFFB) in yet another daring move by the fashion house to forge ahead in infiltrating South Asian markets. On August 31, 2013, in the closing show presented by Indonesia TATLER, Kaj brought its signature flair to the TFFB runway. The high profile, 7-day event took place at the lavish Stones Hotel in Bali’s Legian region. Set against the breath-taking backdrop of one of the world’s leading tourist destinations, TFFB attracted an exclusive audience of media, fashion professionals and enthusiasts, leisure travellers and Asian Pacific celebrities and socialites including Michael and Lindy Klim and Casey Burgess.

The bold simplicity of Kaj’s Tribu Sauvage resort collection was captured during a 2015 Global Runway promotional photo-shoot on location in Verona, Italy. Featured are Kaj’s magyar tee with tribal pocket accents and its classic trousers with pocket accents. Photo courtesy Global Runway.

With a steadfast focus to establish Kaj as the Caribbean’s foremost mid-luxury fashion brand, the fashion house embarked on a strategic mission to penetrate European markets. This led to the launch of the Kaj Resort line at the Martinique-based online boutique, Kameri, in September 2014. In Nov 2014, the brand’s CEO, Liza Miller, was one of three female entrepreneurs selected to be part of exporTT’s gender programme participating in the CARTFUND French Caribbean Outermost Region (FCOR) trade mission alongside nine other Trinidad and Tobago companies. This opened the door to fourteen B2B meetings with buyers and other trade partners that generated ten trade leads. This was closely followed by the brand’s January 2015 launch at the Martinique-based boutique, Pygmées. By the last quarter of 2015, Kaj was fiercely introduced to the thriving UK luxury fashion market via its distribution with the London-based online boutique, Global Runway, coupled with an advertising campaign in Britain’s lavish specialist consumer magazine, Destinations Weddings and Honeymoons Abroad (DWHA). Kaj further strengthened its market presence as DWHA’s exclusive international fashion brand and partner at two of London’s leading trade events, The National Wedding Show (TNWS) and the World Travel Market London (WTM London). This was accompanied by Kaj’s retail placement at Guadeloupe’s exclusive boutique, Jheipour.

Kaj will commemorate this legacy of cutting edge creative excellence, fine quality and timeless luxury with its ongoing Kaj Legacy Atelier. KajFAB femmes may experience the exclusive versatility and impeccable finish of the Kaj Designs brand, shopping limited edition classic resort as well as one-of-a-kind legacy pieces including the brand’s signature innovation, the Shuffle.
