While I’d love to believe that Nicola Formichetti exists solely to do Lady Gaga‘s fashion bidding, that simply isn’t the case. Jo Calderone might actually be the most reserved man Formichetti has styled to date. Boy is at werq in Japan turning out cover after editorial of monstrous male beauty for Vogue Hommes Japan. He’s also been killing it in Dazed & Confused and V Man. Take a look.

Oh yes m’loves, these shoes are just that D’lishuous, nice knowin ya Ma! I first found out about these futuristic gladiator shoes in one of my favorite periodicals, V-MAN (THE Bible to ye lesser ones). I was so excited because they instantly reminded me of the lego-like pumps from Balenciaga that so many people were pissin their panties for.
And I know what you’re saying, “these are from the S/S 08′ season”. Yes, but this is an art peice, it’s sooo outside of the box that it surpasses seasons. It’s something that stays in your wardrobe for years to come and when your son becomes a fashion obsessed “metro”, you can give them to him oooorrr make him wait till you die and pry them from your cold, narled corpse……..I choose the latter.
Raf Simons is a Belgian born designer with a back ground in industrial furniture design. He’s the type of artist that explores fashion in a deeper more emotional way through music and art, incorporating tradition and roots, attitudes and moods. His brand was one of the 1st to begin to experiment with slimmer, more feminine lines for menswear back in 95′. His clothes and perspective are masterful, his shoes however are worthy of armed robbery, I’m plottin’ one right now…..you should see my bedazzled stocking cap, you gotta be cute when you break federal laws.
