More than a wink or a nod to Avedon's famous shots of Warhol's Factory
posse- more like a downright homage. Check out Mikael Jansson's photos in
this month's "Interview" magazine story on designer Alexander Wang. I love
love love Alexander Wang- he'd be my default designer in a desert island
scenario, if the desert island was urban, gritty, raw, and tough. (The
island of Manhattan perhaps?)
posse shot back in the day by the one and only Avedon- check out his photo
(last one attached). History always repeats itself when it comes to fashion-
that's one of the reasons I love it so- it's fun to catch the references
each season, as the players change and the "it" crowd gets younger and
sexier, the respect for the heroes and original tastemakers remain. The one
constant is that cool is timeless, and these new photos capture that
perfectly. Awesome.
