Wojtek in Japan Part 2 In this section, the photographer pays homage to the Japanese art of ikebana, which is steeped in the philosophy of bringing nature and humanity together in harmony: "He is just beautiful, like a flower." -- Shigeru Masui In this final section, the cultural reference to Japan's ancient tradition of kabuki theatre, with its elaborate face paint and makeup, is evident: Source: http://shigerumasui.com/flor/index.html

Hard to know, really. What I really wonder is...What was Barney's thinking? What did Barney's hope to achieve with this weirdness? Were they going for a camp version of a Busby Berkeley 1940's-era swimming pool extravaganza? An Esther Williams special with a male chorus line? Whatever they were going for, I think it's safe to say that they missed by a mile. FairyCandice is right: This is tacky. And just plain weird.

Wojtek in Japan Part 1 In December 2014, Wojtek traveled to Japan for an extended stay. He was welcomed by his new agency in Tokyo with a beautiful bundle of balloons. His reaction says it all!

Here is his shot of a beautiful sunset at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo: The highlight of his trip, however, was no doubt his session with famed photographer Shigeru Masui: A stunning photo editorial by this master photographer, inspired by the ancient Japanese art of ikebana (flower arranging) and the Kabuki theatre, will follow in the next post.

Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2015-2016 ________________________________ THOM BROWNE In a dark and somber Dickensian atmosphere, American designer Thom Browne presented his much-talked-about, gender-bending Autumn/Winter 2015-2016 collection during Paris Fashion Week. Dressed all in black, the models paraded slowly and solemnly in a mock funeral procession, in a shower of (fake) ash, paying their respects to a departed friend. In this backstage interview, the designer talks about the inspiration behind the collection and its presentation: Wojtek walks at 0:56 For an interesting critique of the collection, read this review from style.com: http://www.style.com/fashion-shows/fall-2015-menswear/thom-browne
