So there is a great fashion quote by Bill Cunningham stating that “fashion is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life.” In this sense, just as one would paint, carve, draw or compose music to escape the realities of everyday life, fashion provides the same escape. That said, I dread to think of what Tocky Vibes must be going through in his life.
Check out this outfit he was purposely rocking in public and in broad daylight:
Okay okay, maybe I’ve judged this outfit too soon. Sometimes one needs to take a moment and slowly dissect the situation to really get it.
Let’s start with that golden beige broken eggshell looking hat. That’s probably a really good colour choice. Anyone know where one can buy a similar hat? Its probably custom made. Or perhaps you might remember the Roman Army from back in the day.
Perhaps this was his inspiration. In that case, bravo. Once we factor in the current economic situation and perhaps lack of resources, we’ll give him that, he tried on this one.
Let’s move on to those glasses. Well, it seems clear where the inspiration for this came from. Remember The Men in Black featuring Will Smith? The Boglodite, Boris the Animal from that film most certainly inspired those glasses. So now we’ve got Roman and Boglodite influences. Whether or not that’s a good combination, you be the judge.
Okay, so I’ll just skip the middle, because no one knows whats going on there. Let’s jump straight to the shoes.
A popular saying in the fashion space suggests that “good shoes take you places.” Can we safely say that Tocky Vibes is going nowhere very fast?
Well what are your thoughts on this fashion look?
