Why have I not heard of this dude? The only part of this I dislike is that it's womenswear. That mesh pullover (anorak? idk) is wonderful.

Sleeves hitting at the elbow, overalls, mesh, writing on jeans... This ticks many boxes. Who is josh reim?

Yeah i really love this. A lot of the images from SS14 went a bit viral round the tumblr fashion blogs. Love the written pieces. I don't think SS14 was sold anywhere though, was it? Like i don't think many things went into production but i might be wrong. I've seen a few people wearing the odd piece but as far as i'm aware these are friends etc, rather than commercial. But i might be wrong. Love the use of female models for the winter collection.

See, i don't know, maybe on a piece-by-piece level it's worse, but i don't think any of the individual pieces from last season were that compelling either. What i'm impressed by, what this guy appears to have in spades, is the ability to create such a strong narrative from so few elements (o what cult have we stumbled upon here? Satanic bureaudrone company picnic 2015?)

Josh Reim's art direction and concept always seems stronger than the actual clothing. This season is obviously some sort of satanic retro bureau-cult as Germinal suggested, and it looks convincing. But I can't help but feel that the same looks could have been accomplished with vintage clothing styled by him. Even the previous two seasons are heavier on atmosphere and concept (fw14 feels like some kind of beuysian asylum and ss14 is 90's pervert) and pretty light on actual garms. That being said, he's clearly got some kind of talent and I think after a few more seasons it will be more about the clothes. Reminds me of Gosha.

Thoughts? The clothing looks way more thought out than his other collections, I had a chance to see everything in person (the blazer is stuffed with down (love)). He definitely has a unique point of view and his aesthetic only seems to be keep growing and getting more defined.

His stuff is very nostalgic and reminds me of Gosha, which is cool
