Cool Dudes Doing Cool Things: Jefferson Hack Wears a Derek Jarman T-Shirt, Ryan McGinley Wears Many Neat Outfits
The title of this entry really just says it all, doesn't it? I always loved Jefferson Hack, even before he got Kate Moss to be his baby mama. But this picture would be cool even if he weren't the Hack because he's wearing a friggin' DEREK JARMAN t-shirt as he DJs at the first night of The Hoxton Pony party. Being a film-type of human being, obviously I worship Derek Jarman as a paragon of experimental cinema, plus Jarman directed some Smiths videos and that kind of makes it all instantly, timelessly awesome. I now really want a Derek Jarman t-shirt, too. Thanks a lot, Jefferson, for ruining my sartorial Zen.
Now let's move onto Ryan McGinley, whom many of you know as an ace art photographer who is slowly infiltrating the fashion world in a quest for passive-aggressive visual culture dominance. Dude is everywhere, but when someone dresses this cool, ubiquity is almost like a public service. Here he does some fashion show-and-tell for Vice, and they don't make fun of him at all! That's because he can get away with a sort of Trash Can Sinatra-meets-skater-kid-meets-Wes-Anderson kind of thing. Oh, and I love his gold Dior boots that Hedi Slimane gave him. However, I don't have a yearning for them, which makes me feel a little more balanced about life.
This is McGinley wearing seersucker. He beats out even Chuck Bass in his ability to somehow subvert the preppiness, managing to invoke both Gatsby and anti-Gatsby at once. How does he do it, I wonder?
