There is
context and there is reference; constituents that are ala carte for when we
talk about veteran fashion journalist Tim Blanks. And there is this very
enlightening perspective, always, and lots of it. An influence ever so gripping
that it has me fixated every time I read a piece by this very orderly
eccentric.
Here I
take a moment and talk about one amongst few of the profound sources of
inspiration of mine - Tim Blanks the fashion journalist, style.com editor and
the very ingenious fashion critic.
In my
previous post I talk about monotony and banality and the need for some remedial
measures for the same. Every review written by Mr. Blanks on style.com does
exactly that for me and every single time. The latest one I started reading
prompting this declaration of admiration and rousing impact, just two lines
into the text, being a case in point.
An
inclination towards the punk of 80’s, the underground club culture of the 90’s
and the vast repository of fashion intel that comes from plentiful of years of
fashion files; the very interesting reviews manifest content, flavour and depth
all at the same time. You may find a collection review written in the most
thorough manner with a rarest mention the clothes. There would be a talk of
origin, inspiration, references and outcomes, all giving a better understanding
of the collection as many won’t be able to with individual dissection of each
of the looks. Many a collections made interesting because of how they’ve been
worded by him.
In the
vast pool of influences, some are momentary distractions, some leave an
instantaneous impact and some are indelibly etched.
A
stalwart and an impelling force for many, this creative’s work has from day one
has been a formative influence precisely the rationale behind this testimonial.
