Around the time Spanish designer Archie Ald-Martinez began to trace his strange identity to Augs, there was one word that kept swirling around: metrosexual.
It was only years later that the effects of the term – which he summed up as describing “a heterosexual man who usually treats or acts with gay men or women” – completely hit home. . “When I look back, wasn’t it all really homophobic?” he asked rhetorically.
Hence her desire to reclaim the area through a spring collection that’s tight, short or low cut—sometimes skewered all at once.
To quote Millennium-era icon Paris Hilton: “She’s hot.”
It got even hotter with the presentation of the locker room, in which guests were peeping through the wall to see the model.
What they saw was a reimagining of last season’s cargo pants with a clear V-shaped cut in the front; Double up jeans with a prominent metal zip; T-shirts that looked like they had been sprayed depicted gay men with derogatory terms on the front; A sleeveless plaid shirt that will require confidence to pull off—and washboard abs.
As for those really short shorts? They were back with a vengeance and also with a denim version.
Ald-Martínez, who is following in Hilton’s footsteps by starring in Netflix’s “First Class”, a newly released reality TV show on a group of friends living the high life in Barcelona, noted that these notions were revisited. There was something self-indulgent about watching from. The lens of today’s more progressive mindset.
It remains to be seen how many people will have the confidence to join him.
