My favorite outfits from Lewis Hamilton's Fashion Week (LHFW) 2023

Seeing people post the compilations had me wondering what was my favorite paddock look he wore. This was very hard because there were over 80 outfits to choose from. I am not a fashion expert but i know what i do and do not like. And if there's one thing about me, imma give my opinions that literally nobody asked for. Credits to @.hamazinglew on Instagram for their work on sourcing the brands he's wearing.

These are in no particular order because I don't have it in me to rank the best of the best. That's just way too hard

Bahrain Race Day - Dior

The top is alright but what really gets my attention is the half-skirt part of the outfit. More of that please and thank you

Jeddah Quali Day - Rick Owens

His waist was snatched and the top was sleeveless. What more could you ask for?? I wish he was wearing skinny jeans with the signature Rick Owen's high heel boots but I understand why he isn't 😅

Miami Race Day - Rick Owens

I know it was hot as hell on that day. But he wanted to make history, and that's what this is. I love sequins, and I love the color purple, so this is like my dream outfit in a way

Baku Race Day - Tommy Hilfiger

I give Tommy Hilfiger a lot flack because a lot of the outfits in their recent collections don't move me at all. It's really all about the styling. If he buttoned down the jacket all the way I probably wouldn't have cared much for this outfit

Silverstone Practice Day - Louis Vuitton

I liked Pharrell's Louis Vuitton collection for the most part. A lot of people said that it was uninspired and tacky but I was living for it. What can I say, I am easily influenced. Lewis really had that shit on and the bell-bottom pants completes this look

Zandvoort Race Day - Rick Owens

The fabric looks so cool. It's like his outfit is wet but it's not at the same time. If the top was completely see-through this probably would have been my favorite outfit of the year

Qatar Practice and Quali - JW Anderson and Rick Owens

This outfit would be considered average if it wasn't for his chest tattoo being shown. Normalize boob windows. More people need to wear tops like this please and thank you 🙏

Las Vegas Race Day - Burberry

The outfits he wore during the Vegas weekend chewed. And this one had to be the best one. He's sparkly and shiny like what more could you ask for???

Honorable Mention: Paris Fashion Week - Wales Bonner

I cannot talk about LHFW without talking about his best outfit of the year. Lives were changed when these images first hit the TL. This is the best suit he's ever worn. I am not quite sure how he's gonna top this but he will find a way

[wejustvibing]

I personally dgaf about dior i’d rather see lewis be an ambassador for brands like zegna, rick owens or ferragamo. Maybe throw a little bit of versace and bottega in the mix. He looks so hot in these brands.

i'm saying dior because it's the current topic. but also there's already history and good relationship there. i'd take any, give me wales bonner??? but anyway, we need him a big brand where he'll be able to collab and create. where's his jordan moment? we neeeeed 🥲

What's the vibe? #51

News:

Pitchfork is to be folded into GQ as it's music vertical :( Conde Nast fired all the main staff. People are looking to streaming services to save them now for recommendations but they're algorithmic or circular - major label artists and bigger independent artists favoured. Or TikTok but bands don't really thrive on there - they thrive more on traditional methods like music press......

The Kitchen has been released on Netflix.

Okk, Fashion Week Re-cap :)

Martine Rose AW23

Rick Owens FW23- loved the apartment

Comme Des Garçons HOMME PLUS FW24 - love the hair and make up - “SPIRITUAL WORLD. White is symbolic of prayer."

Wales Bonner AW24 - love the ambiance and shoes

Loewe - set design - American artist Richard Hawkins (b.1961, Mexia, Texas), whose practice is rooted in collage and the provocation of juxtaposition, used 1960s LOEWE window designs by José Pérez de Rozas—the mastermind of the house's iconic store visuals for over 30 years—as a starting point for the 12 video works.

Schiap SS24 - love the tech baby

Notes for shows I didn't 100% like: LV's show was inspired by American Western aesthetics and P's home state of Virginia. Fendi's collection was inspired by Princess Anne and her uniform (anti fashion - very funny phrase coming back into the loop - almost...anti creativity and anti freedom)

John Metcalfe - Tree - a modern classical suite with both chamber and orchestral arrangements.

Tree is eight immersive compositions that take the listener through twenty-four hours in the life of one of nature’s most majestic creations The Durutti Column viola-playing master - a composer and arranger for the likes of U2, Coldplay, Peter Gabriel and Blur, as well as co-founder with Tony Wilson of the Factory Classical label – had been composing music spontaneously, instinctively, when the idea of Tree arrived. The album came from a desire in John Metcalfe to write at scale – perhaps a natural reaction for a composer writing out of the silences and solitude of our recent pandemic years. “The pieces I was writing were big and trying to be bigger, so I knew they had to be to do with something – and then I thought about one of the most profound experiences of my life.” He is referring to seeing Tāne Mahuta as an adult, the largest known living kauri tree in the world. Set in an ancient subtropical rainforest on the North Island of Aoreatoa / New Zealand, John had spent his early childhood living in that part of the world after his British father had "escaped there as a ten-pound Pom". Having emigrated to England as a child, he went back to New Zealand with his wife when he was 26. He explains, “…we thought we’d tick something off the tourist list, and I thought we're going to see trees, which is great – but we weren’t prepared for what happened.”. They both cried when they found Tãne Mahuta, and Metcalfe is still amazed at the reaction he had: “… as an atheist, it was the closest I’ve ever got to a spiritual moment… there was something extraordinary about the atmosphere in the forest and the size of this tree, and the sense that it had been there a long time. It was about the protection it gave, and the sense of connection we had with that protection.” Written for live players and recorded in Abbey Road Studios to convey human connection at scale, Tree imagines what it would be like to be sat completely still under a tree that you love, being alive to the ever-shifting interplay of light, colour, weather and sound. Shimmering pulsating layered tracks take the listener on a voyage that takes in the dawn chorus, depicted by conversations between chirruping woodwind and staccato strings, through to the solemnity of dusk and into the playful night. The album at times summons up the folkloric power of ancient forests through an emotional crescendo in emotion and sound, before bringing us back to sunrise, and a reflection on the journey we’ve taken. Tree isn’t just about Tãne Mahuta, explains Metcalfe: “It could be about any tree – they’re all very magical.” This record isn’t a political statement, but it's clear to him that as science progresses, and as climate breakdown progresses, people are trying to find deeper ways to understand and cherish nature. "It’s about the music that people are trying to create to connect with things that are huge and beautiful and inexplicable around them." Tree is John's beautiful, emotional attempt. "My album's about describing our relationship with something as every-day and extraordinary as a tree, and how it can be an incredibly important part of who we are.”  All tracks written, produced and performed by John Metcalfe Additional Strings on Tracks 1,3,5,6,8 Violins Everton Nelson (leader), Natalia Bonner, Charlie Brown, Emil Chakalov, Alison Dods, Louisa Fuller, Richard George, Raja Halder, Marianne Haynes, Rick Koster, Oli Langford, Steve Morris, Charles Mutter, Tom Pigott-Smith, Cathy Thompson, Debbie Widdup Violas, Peter Lale, Reiad Chibah, Gillianne Haddow, Kate Musker, Andy Parker, Rachel Robson Celli Richard Harwood, Adrian Bradbury, Ian Burdge, David Daniels, James Douglas, Julia Graham, Sophie Harris, Tony Woollard, Double Basses Stacey Watton, Roger Linley, Richard Pryce, Lucy Shaw Woodwind on Tracks 3,4,5,6,7,8 Oboe Alun Derbyshire Bassoon Sarah Burnet Strings fixed by Jenny Goshawk for Isobel Griffiths Ltd.

really feeling drawn to adding a skirt to my wardrobe and seeing you in full look Thom confirmed it, i wanted to hear your thoughts or approach to wearing them if you're willing to share!

I’m about to write a novel about this if you don’t want to see me ramble please scroll away:

There’s a lot to talk about here in regards to gendered clothing but I’m going to make some assumptions when answering this. If I’m off base or this doesn’t really answer your question send me another ask and I’ll clarify.

I approach skirts in my own wardrobe in a couple of different ways that vary based on the context of the outfit. At the end of the day, silhouette is always what I focus on the most and that’s the largest stumbling block I see for most people who are not used to styling a skirt (especially in a more traditionally masculine wardrobe).

Generally speaking, if you have broader shoulders like I do something with more volume is going to balance out your proportions and be most flattering. You’ll want to look for a-line shapes and details that create volume towards the hem like pleats or ruffles. I also like wrap styles because they’re much more flexible as far as fit and styling go. I don’t really like skirts that accentuate any of the contours of my body above the hemline but if that’s what you’re after there are definitely designers doing that in the men’s space (Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten). If you’re shopping in women’s, look for keywords like sheath/body-con for that look. For shoes I prefer a boot/loafer/oxford/sandal rather than a sneaker with a skirt even in a more causal outfit because I think a sneaker can look awkward very easily but your mileage may vary. If you do wear a sneaker a high top and a long sock are best imo. In a more formal context, I like a skirt that operates the same way as a suit trouser. I want a shape that will compliment the cut of the blazer, and a fabric with similar weight and structure. Both pieces in the same fabric for a true suit is ideal imo if you want to present a skirt in a more traditionally masculine way, but I think mixing materials can work as long as the shapes are complimentary. For me, Thom is the benchmark for this look in the world of menswear and nobody does it better. Comme des Garçons Homme Plus has also done a few that I really like. If you’re open to buying from a women’s collection, look to brands like The Row, Tibi, Peter Do, Alaïa, and Wales Bonner for inspiration. Or if you want buy a fetish store latex skirt and wear it with like a band tee and flip flops like live your dream or whatever it really is Just Clothes.

Avant toute chose, il est important que je définisse les limites de ce dont je vais parler, afin qu'on soit bien au clair sur ce dont on parle.

Une série d'animation pour adultes désigne une série d'animation ciblant une audience adulte. (Source : Wikipédia)

Pour des raisons évidentes, ici le terme "série d'animation pour adulte" sera utilisé indifféremment du terme "dessin animé pour adulte". Je tiens également à préciser qu'on ne parlera ici que de séries occidentales, celles asiatiques, souvent regroupées sous le nom "anime" jouissant d'une meilleure réputation.

Souvent, très souvent même, je vois des "take" passer sur le fait que les dessins animés pour adulte sont nuls, en se basant régulièrement sur des exemples comme South Park (soit), Hoops (bon ok, c'est effectivement étrange), Big Mouth (mouais, dites de suite que vous avez eu une adolescence dans la norme, sans besoin de représentation) ect etc ...

J'ai globalement l'impression que certains facteurs expliquent ces takes, et cette vision, les voici :

Le fait que les dessins animés soient globalement percus comme étant pour les enfants, ils faut alors que le show en question sorte particulièrement de l'ordinaire, soit particulièrement intelligent pour être apprécié. En gros un gatekeeping des dessins animés pour adulte, afin de montrer qu'on peut être un adulte respectable et en consommer

Le fait que beaucoup de contenus, ou du moins, beaucoup des séries très connues soient oppressives et / ou avec un niveau assez as et / ou de moins en moins bonnes, ne donne pas une bonne image générale des séries pour adulte.

J'ai également l'impression que certains thèmes sont largement privilégés, parce qu'ils font plus sérieux. Je vois en effet souvent Bojak Horseman ou Les simpsons (je ne comenterai pas) listés dans les bonnes séries, mais pas American dad, par exemple. La principale différence réside dans le fait que les premières sont largement plus tristes et sombres, considérées comme plus profondes.

Cependant, il existe des petites pépites que tout le monde semble ignorer, surtout quand il s'agit de pouvoir trash en paix. Je dois dire que je suis sincèrement SOULE par cette mauvaise foi crasse.

Pour la peine, voici donc une petite sélection personnelle de dessins animés pour adulte qui sont vachement cools et qualitatifs : Tous ne sont pas forcément au même niveau, mais ce sont des séries devant lesquelles j'ai passé du bon temps, et que j’apprécie particulièrement.

Gagosian London to Present Social Works II, Opening October 7, 2021

September 15, 2021 Gagosian London to Present Social Works II, Opening October 7, 2021 The Sequel to the American Chapter Curated by Antwaun Sargent Exhibition Will Foreground Artists from the African Diaspora and Include Newly Commissioned Works

SOCIAL WORKS Curated by Antwaun Sargent

October 7–December 18, 2021 20 Grosvenor Hill, London __________ Gagosian is pleased to present Social Works II, the sequel to the American chapter that was on view at the gallery in New York.Curated by Antwaun Sargent, Social Works II foregrounds artists from the African diaspora and their insights into the relationship between space—personal, public, institutional, and psychic—and social and artistic practice. Bringing together intergenerational artists working in different mediums, Social Works II considers geography and its role in informing how identity is created and experienced through communities and spaces. Sumayya Vally, principal of the Johannesburg/London-based studio Counterspace and architect of the 2021 Serpentine Pavilion, has produced a fragment of wall that will transform itself over time, functioning as an interactive site for research and ritual. Architect and artist David Adjaye presents a group of sculptural forms made using a rammed earth technique inherited from West African architectural vernacular. Examining ideas of landscape in the context of metropolitan London, Adjaye probes the relationship between the earth and the built environment. In Lubaina Himid’s mixed-media collage A Fashionable Marriage: The Art Critic (1986)—a study for her noted 1987 installation of painted and cut-out figures, A Fashionable Marriage—the protagonist of the British Black Arts movement of the 1980s riffs on Marriage A-la-Mode, painter William Hogarth’s eighteenth-century moralizing satire of the British upper class. Himid turns Hogarth’s critique of greed and overconsumption into a broader moral commentary on the British slave trade. Isaac Julien, a pioneer of multiscreen installation, presents the London premiere of Lessons of the Hour (2019), a contemplative journey into the life and work of Frederick Douglass, the visionary African American abolitionist. The film is presented here in a single-screen version, accompanied by a large-scale still produced especially for the exhibition.

Rick Lowe, who founded the renowned art-based community platform Project Row Houses in Houston in the 1990s, is represented by a series of cartographic paintings, first shown in Social Works, commemorating the notorious 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, where white supremacists in Oklahoma razed the city’s prosperous Black-owned Greenwood District. Kahlil Robert Irving’s sculptures positioned on low wooden platforms pay homage to the nocturnal city as a place both of witnessing and community. Hand-pressed black ceramic tiles allude to a rich material history, emulating the rugged texture of asphalt streets littered with aggregate and discarded objects and while suggesting the night sky. What black is this you say? (2020–21) is a series of poignant oil and watercolor paintings that artist and architect Amanda Williams produced as an identity-affirming response to the most recent tumultuous racial events in the United States. Alexandria Smith also confronts the present moment using allegory. In shaped wood panels featuring sinuous cut forms that delineate abstracted, disjointed figures, she investigates the contradictions, uncertainties, and objectifications impressed upon the Black femme body. Photographer Tyler Mitchell, whose soulful practice slips seamlessly between autonomous art and commercial assignments, conjures intimate dreamscapes that celebrate Black family, community, and youth. Shot on location in Georgia, where he was born, Mitchell’s new series considers notions of home and leisure commonly associated with the American pastoral idyll, charged here with the ineluctable racist history of the American South. Artist and designer Grace Wales Bonner creates conceptual shrines to Black Atlantic style and history, stressing the ritualistic importance of learning about and connecting to one’s cultural roots. Manuel Mathieu’s roiling canvases record slippages, erosions, and transformations of memories of his native Haiti; eschewing overt representation, his abstracted approach illuminates the vagaries of history with acute psychological insight. Social Works II underscores the conscious engagement of these artists with the cultural present where numerous social factors have converged to produce a heightened urgency for artists of the African diaspora to utilize space as a community-building tool and a means of creating visionary possibilities. _____ Kahlil Robert Irving, Dreams in the line and memories (/whipped), 2021 (detail), glazed and unglazed ceramic with decals and luster on wood platform, 7 × 100 × 55 inches (17.8 × 254 × 139.7 cm) © Kahlil Robert Irving
