Last week during Milan
Fashion Week, the major fashion houses presented their Fall/Winter 2018
collections. One designer’s collection
stood out above all the rest.
Gucci’s Alessandro
Michele was flying his/her freak flag with runway models reimagined as cyborgs that
questioned identity as a social construct; the last and extreme sign of a
mongrel society under constant transformation.
Iowahawk took note
declaring, “It’s craft show time at the Kentucky State Hospital for the
Criminally Insane.”
From a reimagined operating
room, the runway models were expressionless, pale and frightening. Two of them apparently were presenting the
ISIS part of Gucci’s collection as they carried the disembodied heads of
themselves.
Seeing what the fashion
world has morphed into leaves me with an unappeased yearning for the good old
days when men were masculine and women were not ashamed of graciousness and
inner beauty. Nothing depicts more lucidly
how social engineering and diversity have gone haywire.
