what will be The New Black?

China?
home furnishings?
the return of pink zebra-printed chest-baring spandex bodysuits?
pophyry?
the Dirty Dancing sequel?

YOU TELL ME!

once rock falls, all the people in mullets have to go somewhere!

PROG!

i should buy some old genesis records before they suddenly become stupidly expensive. and then put together a post-rock band.

Fantasy Art (see other thread - the family Hussein's love of it is the clincher)

Brown will be cool. ha

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 24 July 2003 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)

guitars.

Music wise the 80s revival will move into the mid-80s as people get a bit sick of synth-pop/post-punk - ironic prettiness will be a big deal.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 24 July 2003 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

brown IS cool.

― daniel cheail (daniel cheail), Thursday, 24 July 2003 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

but not as cool as RISD. and I'm glad.

― daria g (daria g), Thursday, 24 July 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Rhode Island ITSELF will be cool

― Aaron A., Thursday, 24 July 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

drawstring pants
bonobos

Osaka. The artist Chiho Aoshima. Making your long print skirts into halter dresses. Turkish baths. Jerk chicken.

Nick was here a few days ago and had rattan flat mule slippers which looked great but sliced his feet to ribbons. This and other made of straw accessories eg. hats in odd shapes will also have a 'moment'.

Look, the fashion police are already into Anorak Indie Boy of the mid-'80s: Raf Simons is doing Factory and all the menswear for fall is all about Morrissey.

I reckon a real Katharine Hepburn moment is coming for womenswear, just because all designers love her.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 24 July 2003 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

mutilating mules? I am glad I am only cool.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 July 2003 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Strangely I was discussing that just last night with another ILXor.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 24 July 2003 17:11 (twenty-two years ago)

god that is so *not* funny to me

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 24 July 2003 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sorry!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 24 July 2003 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh lighten up, it's a joke at Momus's expense (and also Jarvis Cocker's, he used to do JUST THAT).

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 24 July 2003 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

suntanning (faux/real)

The word "gimp" will take over.

― thoth (Jake Proudlock), Thursday, 24 July 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Ugliness
"Saskatchewan" as all-purpose comedic name-drop, much like Macarena or Kato Kaelin in the past.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 24 July 2003 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

It will be cool to quit the Botox injections and look older than 18 (when the rest of your body looks 50).

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 24 July 2003 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

The Morrissey trend is from the daffodil/NHS/hearing aid era.

Pork chops are the new earrings.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 24 July 2003 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

mainly commenting on the Men's Furnishings end of things. strangely I found the self-confessed frumpy and "grown so ugly" amateurist to have the best sense of style.

― Aaron A., Thursday, 24 July 2003 19:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Any chance of unattractive short balding middle aged men coming into fashion at all?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 24 July 2003 19:30 (twenty-two years ago)

or men on their way to becoming such?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 24 July 2003 19:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally, Jarvis had the wheelchair due to his fall through a skylight, where I think he broke his pelvis. It wasn't an affectation.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 24 July 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)
