Sleeping with the fishes

When The Revolution™ comes, Fashist will make sure that the people behind the companies that manufacture ugly and hideous-looking shoes like UGGs and Crocs get new shoes fitted. Shoes made of concrete.

But what to wear whilst encasing the UGG CEO’s feet in poured concret before dumping him into the nearest river?

Fashist has always been weak for pinstripe suits. What could then possibly be better than this fine suit from Vivienne Westwood’s SS 2005 collection:

It’s the same suit Marilyn Manson wore in his ad-campaign for Vivienne Westwood.

Fashist loves pointy shoes. This black pair in particular by Cristopher Nemeth is gorgeous.

No mob-inspired outfit would be complete without a hat. This fedora from Hats Plus Ltd would be perfect:

“There are no manifestos like cannon and musketry” (Duke of Wellington - Arthur Wellesley)

When The Revolution™ comes, one group of people who really have it coming are the evil hosts of vicious makeover shows on TV. A prime example of this vile species is Stacy London, host of the US version of the makeover show What Not to Wear.

Dressing people up in self-hatred is a fashion crime as bad as any. The perfect punishment? Lashing such lowlifes against the muzzles of cannons and blasting them to smitherens.

But what to wear whilst lighting the cannon fuses?

Fashist really likes Christopher Nemeth. Fans of Japanese streetstyle magazine (and book) Fruits will probably be familiar with this label.

This shirt from Paul Smith (FW07/08) would be perfect with the pieces from Nemeth:

Something similar to these high-laced boots from Sabelt (if only Yoox had had them in brown instead):

If there was one more thing Fashist would have liked to add to the outfit, it would be a vintage-style grey bowling bag (for the cannon ball, of course)…but Fashist has had no luck in finding the right type yet. The search continues!

Head on

Ever noticed how the most avid anti-smokers are often people who used to smoke themselves and have now quit? Fashist suspects that something similar might be the case with former fatty Karl Lagerfeld and his hate for fat people.

Now, what would a Fashist Revolution be without a beheading or two? Considering the fact that the average weight on an adult human head is somewhere between 4,5 and 5 kgs, decapitation is undoubtedly amongst one of the fastest ways to lose weight. Fashist would like to be remembered as a philanthropist, nothing gives Fashist more pleasure than helping others. So, when the Revolution™ comes, Fashist will be more than glad to help Karl Lagerfeld lose some of that excess dead weight.

But what does one wear to a beheading? Reading the London-issue of Fashion156 has provided Fashist with the answer, because what else could possibly be better than this gorgeous ensemble by Aitor Throup?
