Controversial collection from NYFW 2017


On February of this year on New York Fashion Week we could see collection that was created by Daisuke Obana for Men's, that was inspired by homeless people clothing. As admission to the show, they read "As our designer traveled the cities of America, he witnessed the various ways in which people there lived on the streets and the knowledge they have acquired while doing so. His observations of these so-called homeless or street people revealed that them to be full of clever ideas for covering the necessities of life." Outfits showed by their designer were high quality and from expensive and well made materials, which contrasted with the way they looked. Many layers of clothing and hoodies on models heads prevailed the catwalk. This collection made many people triggered and there's a lot of voices saying that using this kind of inspiration as a exclusive fashion wear is disrespectful and humiliating for homeless, who are looking like that because they can't afford other kind of clothes. I think that author of collection didn't mean to offend anyone, but at the end of the day it's everyone's decision to take that as offense or not.

    This is really interesting, as fashion news as well as a moral dilemma. Unfortunately, It looks like, apart from using expensive fabrics, he just copied the look of the homeless: a random combination of clothes not coordinated in terms of colour or pattern. I think layering is the key feature you could use as a principle and maybe the model on the right looks the closest to what could've been achieved.

Man that conducts my extra english course is all crazy about health. He always checks composition of the food products and if there is something that is not healthy, he doesn’t buy it.  This made me think about how much time he wastes everyday thinking about what he’s going to eat. As a humans we live almost 100 years thanks to modern medicine and we are not ill that often. Paying so much attention to food seems to me not really necessary. I’m obviously aware how unhealthy food we are buying might be, but at the same time we are quite healthy despite chewing gum and drinking fuzzy drinks. I believe that it’s not about restraint but moderation.

You often see couples showing their affection in public. Not everyone would admit to that, but it's great satisfaction to show that you belong to someone and vice versa. People are afraid of loneliness and feel proud of achieving such relationship. Most of the people don't think only about love and desire that they have for another person. Social status that partner can give them and fact that they can show what a good catch they've got is also important. I'm aware that with time they often evolve into something deeper, but it's pretty shallow how it starts. In conclusion, people are more primary than they think they are.

I noticed that many people complain about young kids and teens being whole time on their phones. People recall their childhood when they were playing outdoors as this better way of spending free time. I remember when I went outside to play with other kids I didn’t spend my time in the most intellectual or even socializing way possible. We were just running around and irritating residential area’s security. Every generation has their own way of wasting time and none of them is better or worse. Times are changing and it doesn’t have to be necessarily bad. When they invented car people were complaining that people don’t talk so much with one another as before because no one stops on their way somewhere for gossiping with their neighbors.
