BOY GEORGE: A MUSIC AND FASHION ICON.
George Alan O'Dowd, alias Boy George is one of those personalities who signed the 80s.
In fact, through to the outrageous looks he proposed, he was able to express himself in a way that very few people did before (David Bowie is one of his predecessor), and thanks to that Boy George became a star back then and is still considered both a music and fashion icon.
The very beginning of his career sees him among the Blitz Kids, a group of young Londoners who hung out at the Blitz Club, in London.
They were considered the most popular guys around London's club scene especially because of their way of dressing up for the public.
Among them,
Steve Strange (the Visage),
Rusty Egan (the Rich Kids) and
fashion icon Isabella Blow (just to mention a few names) used to meet up at the club at the beginning of the 80s, giving birth to the New Romantic scene.
By wearing extreme make-ups (most of the times whitened faces), big hair and wigs, hats and big shoulders they were able to make their image recognizable and create a new trend: the New Romantics.

COMME DES GARÇONS. PARIS FW 2012
It does not sound as something new that COMME DES GARÇONS Collection
generates astonishment,
as the creative director of the brand Rei Kawakubo
manages to shock the public runway after runway.
However, for the FW Collection presented at the Paris Fashion Week on the 3rd of March,
Kawakubo has given a new shape to her women.
and this is all about "tri-dimensionality".
Every coat, dress and trouser shows its best in the three dimensions,
giving models a structured shape and gentle appeal at the same time.
The most representative side of the show was the combination of colours of the coats,
such as the yellow and orange one
and the mix of different patterns - camo, leopard, florals and polka dots.
As if it was a fancy dressing party
(not only for the choice of using red, yellow and shocking pink wigs);
it seems in fact that Kawakubo's women this season want
to be in the middle of the stage and surprise people around them.
