FILM FRIDAY: Akira (1988)
Edited by Jason Chan, Señor
So technically Katsuhiro Ôtomo‘s 1988 anime isn’t a “film”. Worse still, it’s an anime movie. But this cartoon’s got it all: double-breasted suits, 1970s Tom Verlaine/Richard Hell get-ups, and lots of stuff for the leather daddies out there. This Film Friday, let’s take a look at Akira.




























From super-low rise flood water slacks to oversized pinstripe coats, Kris Van Assche had all bases covered for his Dior Homme Fall 2010 menswear collection. Whereas past collections were skinny and fitted, Van Assche dabbled in the baggy and saggy for this season. As per usual, looks stayed in the dark, if not neutral color scheme and introduced some memorable duds like an oversized leather turtleneck, some super drop-crotch slacks and some silver outlined ties.
Relaxed, slouchy, athletic and slightly militaristic are the perfect adjectives to describe Kris Van Assche Fall 2010 menswear collection. Buckle loaded biker boots, plaid suits, droop-neck turtle necks, military grade wool and a whole lot of slouchy hats were on Van Assche’s menu. Loving the rolled-up suit sleeves as well as the extreme sheer v-necks.
