America is obsessed with the 1960s, Mad Men, put together on the outside but messy on the inside narrative / aesthetic these days. But, in the spirit of fashion and in search of the next big thing, I want to bring up the real America we should be looking at-- the 1860s. Civil war, slavery abolishing, muskets and red white and blood. In Scorcese's New York everyone wore their issues on their sleeves (in rabbit blood like Leo) and fought for their land, honor, and freedom. In the process they looked effortlessly cool, as opposed to the hours of work you cant help but see in Joan's hair. We need a de-glamified Galliano of the States! Lets get out from behind our desks and computers (echem) and take back the day, via fashion! Make America awesome again and make our forefathers proud! I'm following bands like Titus Andronicus and getting out the Madison Avenue-bobbi pins-panty hose-daddy-issues of New York and into the wild! After work.
