Gareth Pugh’s Fashion is Exploding in My Face

Video o’ the collection:
And look how much fun housework is in a Gareth Pugh original. I think that’s him, I found it on his myspace page.

Bought on ebay, the Hallmark HOLLY PAPER PARTY DRESS “Disposable fashions for: Entertaining - Lounging - Gifts”
The back reads:
Suggested uses for yarn trim:
- Tie in a bow to wear at neckline
- Tie at waist for a fashionable belt
- Use as an empire belt
To “Dress Up” Dresses:
Trim hem and sleeves with fringe, braid or yarn; or scallop hem.
Add Christmas corsage with long streamers to neckline.
Glue sequins and glitter to design, or use colorful jewelry and accessories.
Shorten and use extra paper to make headband, scarf, belt or purse.
Found these in San Francisco this weekend. The Converse are new but the ROOS look vintage. If either were a 14 I would’ve bought them. I don’t know what you could ever fit in the ROOS side zipper pocket other than drugs, maybe that’s why they were so popular in the 80’s.


The Boo Boo Walker shirt is from GoApe.com and I wear mine all the time.
Upper Playground and Brian Flynn join to give you the boom box AT-AT at WeSoldOut.com.
The New VW Beetle AT-AT is from my Star Wars Designer Edition. (One of the oldest features of my site; it needs some fixing up, I know.)
And Bill McMullen merged a shell-toe Adidas with a walker and “ding” - it’s the AD-AT.
I don’t know what Peter did to deserve it but it’s for sale in Asia from Mishka. (Pictures from a Taiwanese auction which has ended.)

What is it with Mickey in Iraq? Now we have this gun-totin’ Mickey tee From Krudmart .

It’s by Know1edge and sold out in most places. C-apsule has some though.

Interesting aside: In the 1940’s Walt Disney allowed use of his Mickey character in the creation of creepy gas masks for children. The hope was kids would keep the masks with them and view protection from chemical attacks as a game and not the terrifying concern it was.

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott’s spring ’07 collection “Right to Bear Arms,” included models wearing mouse-eared helmets and some Care Bear art. Cute – was probably some comment about the war. And then there’s the pics of Jeremy wearing a tee with Mickey sporting wood, and another of him beside a similarly tumescent sculpture. I emailed a rep asking if the shirts are available anywhere but no response yet. None of this is terribly interesting to me, I’m only posting it because I’ve inadvertently begun chronicling subversive uses of Disney iconography, so, here you go. The third pic came from yoox.com.


…although not for long I’d guess.
Wally Wood created the original Illustration in 1966 shortly after Walt’s death for Paul Krassner’s publication The Realist, and Paul still sells posters of it on his site. Did Paul license the artwork to SITUATIONORMAL who made the shirt? I’ll find out in the morning. If not, then he’ll be the one issuing the “Cease and Desist.” For now they’re available at Krudmart.
The subject matter reminds me of a conversation I had with the late John Hench, one of the original designers of Disneyland. He was wondering if the success of the Disney parks wasn’t partly due to humans having a “genetic memory of the garden of Eden or some other paradise” and our desire to return to that paradise, or as he put it, “a land of free love and all the bananas you could eat.” At which point he nudged me and said, “but I don’t know what the ladies thought of it.”
UPDATE: SITUATIONORMAL did not license the artwork from Paul Krassner and has been sent the “Cease and Desist” letter as expected. I’m cuirous, whose will arrive first, the one from Disney’s Lawyers or Paul’s?


See my Disney/Disney-like tag below for more subversive Disney whoo-ha.
It sells for $75 at Karmaloop. It’s from CLH, which, according to UrbanDictionary.com is an acronym for Creating Limitless Heights, and describes CLH as: “A tight ass urban clothing line worn by none other than Cash Money himself. The hoodies they do be so fresh to def dat dem bitches be all up on you like stank on sheeeit.”
I don’t know who Cash Money is and I don’t need bitches up on me like stank on sheeeit, I just think the hoody is pretty.

I thought this sweatshirt was retarded until I saw the eyes wern’t solid but cut out areas of black mesh AND it glows in the dark - now I think it’s hawt. I would so wear this when I go biking at night. They’re $260 and I’d like a large. My birthday is the 16th.

Seen at the Supreme store on Fairfax in LA.
