Lazoschmidl is a brand co-helmed by business and life partners Josef Lazo and Andreas Schmidl who cite the legendary artists Gilbert and George, also business and life partners, as a model. Lazoschmidl is dedicated to non-binary clothing for men, and summed up their philosophy for Metal Magazine in one sentence: "Liberation, sensuality, body, rebellion, glamour, freedom." This collection certainly revolves around the body, sensuality, and freedom. Another one of their mottos is "Taste the forbidden fruit" and fruit is a central motif here. Fruit, flowers, an abstracted butterfly, and a leopard print show up on patterns but incongruously printed on sportswear and gymwear. The show itself was set in what looks like a gym with mats piled up in the corners. Is this a message for the traditional masculine trope of wrestler-swimmer-cyclist-runner to let go of restrictive ways of being and embrace something different, a new set of images and colors, in order to be freed from the socially-prescribed prison of masculinity?
Doublet created a humorous collection clearly based on the Furry phenomenon. Full body costumes were paired with causal pieces...the one that tickles me the most is the Wookie in a leather motorcycle jacket! Also on display: references to a fictional theme park called Doubland. Kudos to Doublet founder Masayuki Ino for including models of non-standard body shape and size.
And working our way down to the feet, Sankuanz showed some pretty sharp shoes...I don't think I've ever seen a pointed toe so pointy! They look like daggers...they might be able to inflict serious injury.
