Kim Jones favorites

I found out that not everybody have a user-profile on youtube. I find it very usefull, there I can ad favorites and friends and subscribe to the profiles I like. Today I stumbled across the brilliant British menswear-designer Kim Jones profile on youtube, and who would have known: he has almost the same favourites as me. I know (from his myspace-profile) that he's into animals, so the hilarious clip of a sneezing panda and Mariko Takahashi's weird poodle-Fitness Video was no surprise. A little Grace Jones and Pavarotti here, and some Kate Moss paparazzi footage there…and what about Karl Lagerfeld kissing a woman? Like us, Kim is obsessed with miserable celebrity moments (not that kissing a woman or performing with Pavarotti is that)

As you can tell by his designs, there’s a lot of 80snostalgia, and not just Alexis and Krystles ultimate catfight, there’s lot of 80s catwalkfootage. And I must say that I’m stunned, they look fantastic! And that’s not cause I romanticise the period (I was in diapers those days anyway), but the styling and combinations in for example the Pam Hogg-collections are amazing! It’s also fun too see which videos from current designers he’s added (check out the sexy, though banned gonzoporn-inspired Calvin Klein ads!)

Anyway, I’m not going to analyse this any further. I just wanted to blog about it since 2depressed2getdressed is about to get its own youtube-account now. And it’s an excuse to write about Kim Jones, who nobody writes about nowadays (check out his website, it has videos of nearly all his shows). He's got great humour anyway.

I’ll end with a rare clip of Laurie Anderson, performing at a short-lived TV show called "The New Show"
