Palomo Spain: "The Most Amazing, Beautiful, Decadent, Evil Thing" at the New York Men's Shows

Twenty-four hours before Alejandro Gómez Palomo's Palomo Spain show, Nicola Formichetti—arguably one of the industry's most clued-in, youth culture–glancing arbiters—told me, "You can't miss it."

Then, five minutes before the runway lights dimmed, the expectations compounded. Bryan Grey Yambao, my seatmate, leaned over and said, "This is so fashion," referring to the crowd, which included singer Troye Sivan (wearing Palomo Spain's pink velvet trousers), photographer Ryan McGinley, and model Hari Nef. (A "fashion" crowd isn't usually the case at a New York menswear show.)

And as the first look walked out, a man to my right said out loud in pure exhilaration: "Gender! So last season!"

Alas, Brave New Babylon.

“It’s about the sexual self,” said the emotional designer backstage, cheeks streaked with lipstick smudges. “There are boys looking for other boys—seducing and being seduced. Some are virgins and you can only look at them.” Each of his models was male, but wearing clothes that might traditionally be categorized as female—though, in his book and increasingly so around the industry, clothes are clothes and can be worn by anyone.

There’s nothing even close to beautiful about this.

You should be banned for posting this. Half joking.

I know you are just posting the absurd but still. I did not want to see this!!!!!!

[Eagles6]

Well, he got the “evil” part right.

[ClearCase_guy]

For some reason, all I can think of is:

Pizzagate

The words of this freak are truly disturbing. The celebration of gays is disturbing. Someone recently posted a picture of Cary Grant, dressed, of course, like a classy man, next to one of these freak pictures with a catchy title. It summed it all up.
