Deconstructed, reconstructed, preconstructed and just about any other take on \u201c-structed\u201d you could possibly formulate \u2013 that was the essence of G-Star\u2019s AW 13 show last night at the St Agnes Kirche in Kreuzberg. The brand sent men and women down the catwalk in an eye-popping line of military-inspired denim outifts, which featured capes, puttees, jump suits and much more.<\/p>\n
G-Star\u2019s position these days is around the possibilities of raw (denim, that is): pulling its basics (jeans and jackets) apart and then re-formulating them into directional, utilitarian outfits, as if for postmodern fashion paramilitaries, engineers and aviators. It was quite a show, and was also accompanied by a transmission of the brand\u2019s latest video spot, which shows a skeleton of a greyhound clad in a denim dog coat, sprinting through the air. However, the best was kept for last, when two models appeared on the runway with a comfy chair and side table, shortly followed by the actor Michael Madsen (known to most as Mr Blonde, the dancing psychopath character from Tarantino\u2019s \u201cReservoir Dogs\u201d) who sat down, took a long breath and them solemly read out one of his poems, entitled \u201cChange\u201d. As if he wasn\u2019t enough of a menacing presence already, Madsen wore a denim jacket garlanded by several knives, two dangling hand-axes and on his back a pair of machetes; then, he got up from his seat, stared at the floor for a few seconds, raised his head up and then let out a deafening roar (ie, \u201cRrrrrrrooooooooooaaaaaghhgghghhggghgh!!!\u201d).<\/p>\n
It could have been \u201craw\u201d also. It probably was. That was the whole point of this entertaining and highly captivating spectacle. It was in itself something very raw, albeit in a highly constructed sense.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
