On the Paris runways for the coming season, designers of men’s fashions were clearly inspired by: Axl Rose circa 1990. Satan’s mother just throwing on an old overcoat to run to the neighbor’s to borrow a cup of brimstone. The offspring of Rainbow Brite after a good acid trip and a Rastafarian escaping the Velvet [...]
