We much attention We pay to trends and modern fashion, but it is worth understanding that they are only guidelines that each interprets in its own way within the framework of a personal style. It is formed, among other things, under the influence of the surrounding reality and culture, including art, films or video clips. We are launching a rubric in which we will analyze works from which one can learn a lot of knowledge about the fashion of the era and adopt a number of stylistic techniques. Today we will talk about the clip Nene Cherry "Manchild", released in 1989.
The 80s became a significant period for the formation of an independent fashion. At this time, i-D and The Face magazines were launched, around which Buffalo was formed, living under the slogan "More music, more fashion!", Which included the entire creative audience of London: young photographers, models, musicians, stylists. The movement was pioneered by Malcolm Maclaren, who invented the huge Buffalo hat for the Vivienne Westwood collections "Nostalgia of Mud" and "Buffalo Girls". The party also included the legendary stylist Ray Petrie, i-D art director and jewelery designer Judy Blame, photographers Mark Lebon and Jamie Morgan, as well as singer Nene Cherri.
They all wore wide-brimmed hats, voluminous jackets, baggy banana pants, blazers, and canonical 501st Levi's jeans. In the fashion shoot, they worked with eclecticism, sports style and were among the first to use street fashion elements. Judy Blame has stylized many clips for Boy George and Nene Cherry. Despite the fact that the most important and significant for that generation was the clip "Buffalo Stance", where Nene danced in gold chains, massive earrings and a golden bomber, you can get more ideas in the video for the song "Manchild". The clip was directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, who worked for Madonna, David Bowie, Sting, Bjork and other musicians.
More gold! A gold cap, a powerful ring and a combination of gold and white are classics for a party.
In this frame Judy Blame himself appears, and on him is a huge felt hat with a tassel, a thick golden chain and green shadows on the eyes. Already, someone, and Blame knew which way to approach the unusual makeup.
An important detail and lesson that can be adopted: a golden belt bag looks great with a cap to match.
If you doubt that lace, gold and sneakers are compatible, then it's time to reconsider your views. Characteristic element: a towel on the head of the heroine Blame often used in his shootings.
Here again a big hat, a shiny T-shirt, large silver jewelry, a skirt and leggings. The girl in the background is wearing a mini-skirt and a crochet top — the outfits in which we went all last summer, and who, obviously, will still be vilified in this year.
If until now it was difficult for you to understand what après-sport style represents, this clip can be a good example. Almost all the main characters here wear bicycles or leggings in combination with adidas Originals sneakers and lots of gold.
Pigtails and ribbons - welcome from the 80s. Later, he picked up the Madonna, Bjork, and then Gwen Stefani.
Nene wore jewelry, which she, too, did Judy Blame. This huge pendant is his work.
The canonical image in which Judy Blame mixed sport and street style in poor districts of London. Blame turned his home outfit, consisting of lace bicycles and top, into casual and even elegant.
