Pulitzer pris-vinnaren Robin Givhan deklarer att Work och Heritagewear-trenden nu är över.
...Change has always happened at a slow, virtually congressional pace in menswear, but the ongoing celebration of legacy labels -- and their aesthetics -- has been bordering on obstructionist. Is there no place in the menswear universe for a company not already deep into its 25th year? ...
...As designers unveil their spring 2011 collections here, it seems that finally -- thankfully -- the obsession with work shirts, denim jackets and plaid has begun to wane...
...There's nothing wrong with celebrating the rich tradition in the attire of laborers, of course, but so much of that sweet nostalgia was buried beneath self-conscious sentimentality and revisionist history...
...Spring 2011 blows in with menswear that is both familiar and lighthearted but that draws upon sources of inspiration that have nothing to do with lumberjacks or assembly-line crews....
Men may be sad to bid that rough-and-tumble style goodbye. They may miss the coziness of a well-worn flannel shirt. But perhaps they will move forward embracing the spirit of the factory worker and the soul of the outdoorsman. Perhaps they will use them as confirmation that it's possible to indulge in fashion that celebrates the beauty of the male body while maintaining one's respectability in the bland, gray world of office parks. At the very least, one hopes the average man will commit to wearing clothes designed to fit rather than to camouflage.
Nu går vi och tar en dusch och rakar av oss skägget. Ses om en stund när vi har klurat lite på hur vi ska få igång en liten bape-revival.
EXTRA, EXTRA!! Workwear dödförklarad! Duck bootsen gick ej att nå, den stickade röda mössan avböjer att kommentera via sin pressekreterare.
