Al Fashion and Textile Museum si racconta la classe maschile nelle sue varie interpretazioni dagli anni Trenta fino ai giorni nostri, attraverso una serie di foto che immortalano icone dello stile di oggi e di ieri. Gli scatti esposti, che appartengono alla Getty Images Gallery , non vogliono provide a retrospective of male beauty decade by decade, but to provide an overview of the various expressions that word so multifaceted, style, takes through the goals of great photographers.
There is in fact the style of the great fashion of the fascinating portrait of Pierre Cardin in his studio, shortly after the inauguration in 1950, before his name was established in France and around the world. E 'represented the eccentric style embodied by Mickey Rourke, seated on a stool with leather pants and tennis shoes. You see a weird Malcolm McLaren in its expression, jacket and hat. Up to photo 1979, Naughty but nice , Keith Richards elegantly destroyed with a shoulder that rests against the wall, forgetting that the cigarette dangling from his fingers and his face hidden by a floppy hat.
The question around which the exposure is spread: "Do clothes make a man - or does the man make the clothes?" A bell'interrogativo. The classic men's suit jacket and trousers risked too often impersonal vanish in the currency of the businessman, in spite of every dress is different and specific measures are necessary to achieve (a curious photo pays tribute to the thoroughness of measurements for un panciotto). Ci sono alcuni uomini poi che sembrano nati con il completo. Come un gentlemen immortalato nel 2007 mentre cammina in Savile Row, nel centro di Londra, semplicemente elegante nel suo tuxedo con scarpa lucida –ma non patinata- cappello di paglia e bastone da passeggio alla mano, disinvolto e incurante degli incalzanti stereotipi del nuovo millennio.
La seconda parte della mostra propone invece esempi di eleganza contemporanea. Le foto in bianco e nero scompaiono improvvisamente per lasciare spazio ai lavori di fotografi d'avanguardia che ritraggono le future icone maschili. Il legame con il passato è tangibile in queste foto, ma diventa una citazione, un'influenza applied to the present, as strong as the other stimuli that continually renew.
The value of this exhibition is the choice that the curator has done in exposing photos of men before they became the characters, while their style was emerging. Furthermore, although the photos shown were taken by great photographers, with few exceptions, were not commissioned, they 'have never appeared on fashion magazines. This means that the men represented are transformed into icons of their time, however, without becoming a caricature. The masculine elegance, and fashion is the theme.
Not to miss: the epitome elegance. A wonderful Cary Grant, perhaps in a photo stolen by a fan, while absorbed leans against the column entrance of a hotel and aimed the tip of the umbrella up and, looking at the sky, wait for dipping.
