KATIE GALLAGHER SAVES REPUTATION FOR CAT PEOPLE.

i

Katie Gallagher, an up and coming fashion designer, sheds new light on cat people by being more than just crazy. When her cat Thomas isn’t perched on her head, the designer is creating a new wave noir look that is far too dark for her feline enthusiasts. Having worked with Anna Sui and ThreeAsFour, her cache of experience and eccentricities might make you think twice about the man wearing a cat on his head seen at Union Square. Check out some flicks of her S/S 2010 collection after the jump.

Katie Eary, a young and upcoming menswear designer, loves to create unorthodox fashion for dudes.

Now you know where to go if you want to look like Marilyn Manson at boot camp.

YABBA DABBA DOO TIME ON ECSTACY.

If fashion was cereal, Jeremy Scott would be Fruity Pebbles. Literally. For spring twenty-ten, Scott brought Bedrock to London and pure radicalness to fashion week via Hanna-Barbera’s Flintstones. Just imagine Pebbles and Bam Bam to hit up the discotheque in spandex and on ecstasy.

HOOD BY AIR SKID AN ORWELLIAN UNICORN INTO 2010.

Picture 2

A few years ago we played a skid party in Vancouver at a club called the Royal Unicorn (skids are the straight Vancouver equivalent of the NY banji scene which is essentially a bunch of lesbi-gays making awesome fashion / music / dance partiness. Does that make sense?). Anyway, the Royal Unicorn was an old massage parlor in Chinatown converted into a Karoake club. The same owners still ran the show and did very minor retrofitting to switch over from rubbing to singing which meant rather then being greeted by a bubbly clubgirl you instead paid the cover at the top of the stairs to a man behind a bulletproof glass window who sat in front of a bank of mini tvs that were linked to security cameras throughout the whole place. It was like partying in the future. Blade Runner style. This Hood By Air lookbook for 2010 is like a Blade Runner party at the Royal Unicorn circa 2025. Damn.

BONG LOADED HIGH STREET FASHION FROM P.A.M.

popcrop

Any suspicions that you may have had about the ladies from P.A.M. actually being a pair of extremely motivated, Australian stoners rather than a couple of uptight, design nerds were indubitably confirmed when their press release stated that their POP! Eyes collection was inspired by David Attenborough’s The Tribal Eye. Take a look at their new adventure onto high street HERE and load up the bong before you head out to the teepee.

Pop! Eyes: — A sophisticated excursion from the studio of Perks And Mini (P.A.M.)

Ten years on from P.A.M., the designers unveil the Pop! Eyes debut 09-10 collection inspired by the David Attenborough documentary, The Tribal Eye and a recurring fascination with moments of historical significance rediscovered and translated.

Pop! Eyes is the result of a collision between deep interest in other societies far removed from our own, and the exploration into the feminine virtues of womenswear. This has brought about a refined collection of charming, off beat pieces made with high quality natural fibres including cottons, silks, and linen blends which are seen in a colour palette that pops with yellow and pulls back with earthy tones of chocolate, grey, charcoal and cream.

With a marked movement away from the more casual styling seen in P.A.M; Pop! Eyes has not lost the potency so inherent to its creators. The ethos in the creative process remains the same, with the pair having no desire at all to pander to the waxing and waning of the movements of trend. Their objective and the result are much the same, the creation of something incredibly beautiful but wholly innovative which has overcome the temporary nature of seasonal trends.
