网上对Tim Blanks的吐槽

这是国外网友看了Tim Blanks写的Yohji Yamamoto评论后的吐槽贴,很有意思

Tim Blanks, why do you even bother to attend and review Yohji's shows any longer? It's been painfully obvious for some time that you no longer view his work as valid ( you're wrong ) and as a result waste your words on petulant & condescending reviews of a designer you no longer seem to comprehend. Yet you simultaneouly lavish praise on the hottest (read: best at generating huge ad revenues) designers even when their collections are mediocre at best. Though not one of his strongest groupings, Yohji's sheer vs. opaque layers, mixes of raw and finished fabrics & always-present plays on proportion and symmetry made this a crisp, intriguing & wearable collection. Did you miss the new riffs on the classic Adidas triple stripes as well? I've followed your career for many years & used to admire your writing. Now every review I read that bears your name seems either veiled in contempt or bent in praise of commerce rather that creativity. Respectfully, Mr. Blanks, it may be time to step back from the front row.

下面是Tim Blanks的评论原文

According to his interview in WWD today, Yohji Yamamoto craves schism. That might explain why his catwalk was crowded with ragtag revolutionaries who looked liked the cast of Les Miz on a shoestring budget. The resolute drabness of the clothes felt like an up-yours to the 1 percent. So did the overt militarism of the khakis, even though they'll probably sell for a price that only 1 percent of the 1 percent would consider justifiable. (The khaki nod to the Dior Bar jacket might pass muster.) 

Longtime Yohji signatures such as asymmetry and androgyny were intact, but they were more tattered and worn than usual. The sense of life after wartime was compounded by veiled women in black, like widows. But they were quickly followed by a model in a lurid pink sheer skirt wrapped over bright blue panties, which suggested a different mood. Same with the "jewelry," which looked like either repurposed Christmas decorations or bits of driftwood. 

In the search for interesting pieces that honored Yohji's design legacy, you might settle on a pair of trousers with a shirred, multi-tied waist, or a white biker jacket with elegant tails, or maybe even the ratted tweeds threaded with Lurex. Otherwise, the burst of Iggy Pop on the soundtrack was a reminder that, just the other day, Yohji's daughter Limi Feu was 'fessing up to her horror that Dad had never heard of the king Stooge. At least he now knows Iggy, so Yohji is catching up in some respects. In others? Not so much.
