The article discusses Chinese cosplayers wearing Nazi uniforms. It attributes their choice to fashion rather than ideology. It highlights the historical context of the Ching dynasty. It also highlights the historical context of the early Republic of China. The Chinese military was influenced by German designs. This suggests a different cultural symbolism for these uniforms in China. It’s compared to the West. According to the internet, there are apparently a bunch of Chinese cosplayers walking around in Nazi uniforms and taking photos of themselves sieg heiling like it’s no big deal. They say they’re dressing up in the uniforms because they…
Kristofer Paetau and Ondrej Brody’s TransRatFashion first appeared in our Tidbits section, but we figured only a fairly unique pair of minds would want to spend their time creating fake Chanel bikinis from rat bodies and have them modeled by Brazilian transvestites who then masturbate on them. Another one of their works is called Licking Curators Ass which consists of exactly that. We interviewed Kristofer to find out how such a worldview works and what that worldview’s take on fashion and art is. VICE: Hi. So tell us – how old are you, what’s your background, and what other work…
Japanese super-blogger and model Eriko Nakao is so hot she causes me to ask myself if my desire to lick her all over makes me a breeder. She’s a big deal in Japan and has legions of fans. She does this amazing makeup trick of painting red around her eyes that sort of makes her look upset and vulnerable and makes you empathize with her soul. OK, so most of the time, when someone’s social status rests solely on the vaguely pleasing pictures on the internet, it tends to make me want to eviscerate them. I definitely don’t buy into…
Since my tragic emo teen period, I’ve fantasized about dying my eyebrows a “funny” color. The pictures of Jeffree Star on Instagram always made me think pink eyebrows were the coolest thing on earth, but I thought I was probably the only one. But after Balenciaga’s Autumn/Winter 2023 show, it seems I was wrong. How cool is that? It means I can finally dye my eyebrows with the full seal of fashion approval and without looking like a retarded teen. I went straight to Camden and jumped in the first goth shop. There, I hesitated between blue and pink; boy or girl? I…
Over the past decade, Cambodia Fashion Week has become an important showcase for the country’s emerging designers and sustainable fashion movement. But what is the background of this event, and what role does it play in Cambodia’s growing fashion industry? According to my research, Cambodia Fashion Week was founded in 2013 with the goal of promoting talented Cambodian designers on a global scale. The annual event is held in the capital Phnom Penh and provides a platform for ethical brands using traditional techniques and local materials. From my experience following the increasing media coverage, attendance by international buyers grows each year as…
Gorilla sneakers are a good choice for budget-conscious buyers. They are affordable and vegan-friendly. It is a casual sneaker. Gorilla sneakers do not match major athletic brands for durability and performance. However, they offer appealing style at a very reasonable price. For light daily wear or casual activities, they provide good value and comfort. Environmentally conscious shoppers will also appreciate their efforts towards sustainability. Gorilla sneakers are best for buyers who want good value. They don’t need top performance. The stylish designs and vegan materials make Gorilla sneakers definitely worth considering. These sneakers have risen in popularity recently as an…
Under Armour the go-to fashion brand for the crusaders of the internet. I’ve been surrounded by enough athletic people—i.e., my entire family—to know that Under Armour is “the brand” of choice for professional sports teams, jocks, and anyone remotely into jogginag, but the proposition that Under Armour may be the go-to fashion brand for the crusaders of the internet? Now, that just doesn’t make sense. I first noticed this oddity on an episode of PBS’s Off Book web series when internet artist and curator Ryder Ripps appeared sporting a white, short-sleeved geometrically-speckled Under Armour t-Shirt. Paired with a backwards neon green-trimmed hat and sunglasses suspiciously shaped…
Few things are more American than t-shirts and pissing people off for no reason. Combining the two is a long-held national pastime that makes baseball seem about as exciting as sniffing Ben Franklin’s beer farts. So, I decided to have some fun testing the limits of every American’s inalienable right to conceptualize offensive ideas and pay someone to print them on t-shirts. My aim was to create garments that the majority of the US citizenry would find offensive and, more specifically, submit designs so despicable that most custom-tee printers would refuse to print them. Still, my ultimate goal was to…
Last month we went to the dusty city of Matehuala, Mexico. It’s in the northern state of San Luís Potosí, on the high plateau of the Huasteca Potosina. We were searching for the pointiest long-toed cowboy boots ever made. Over the past year, the botas vaqueras exóticas phenomenon has overrun the rodeo dance floors and clubs of this area. Mexicans who critique the fashions of their countrymen on hotly trafficked style blogs are dissatisfied by this. We were told we were too late. We saw the most wondrous footwear. Stubby contrarians replaced them with short, square, “pig-nosed” boots. Martín Hernandez Rodriguez (red…
Aesthetic self-care is all about taking time to relax and pamper yourself through enjoyable beauty rituals. It involves focusing on activities that make you feel rejuvenated and mentally balanced.
