Everyday is Halloween

“Any place, anywhere that I go all the
People seem to stop and stare they say

‘why are you dressed like it’s Halloween?
You look so absurd, you look so obscene’
O, why can’t I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that’s served?
Why can’t they see they’re just like me it’s
The same, it’s the same in the whole wide world

Well I let their teeny minds think that they’re
Dealing with someone who is over the brink and
I dress this way just to keep them at bay
Cos Halloween is everyday it’s everyday o…”

Everyday is Halloween

I loved these FW11 menswear pieces from Julius, a label by Japanese designer Tatsuro Horikawa.

Julius FW11 Menswear Shawl Skirt on Exshoesme.com — Menswear, unwrapped at Julius FW11.

Julius FW11 Menswear Sheer Layers on Exshoesme.com — We've seen men in skirts before, but not this sheer.

Julius FW11 Menswear Soft Leather Jacket on Exshoesme.com — Loved the ease of this jacket. If the whole look is too theatrical for you, this piece, alone can change your wardrobe for the better.

Julius FW11 Menswear Belted Layers on Exshoesme.com — In another time, in another place.

Julius FW11 Menswear Varying Lengths on Exshoesme.com — This, for me, has traces of the past - I see Tibetan monks and shadows of ancient kurtas, here.

Julius FW11 Menswear Fur Collar Coat on Exshoesme.com — It takes a certain kind of man to pull off frou.

Julius FW11 Menswear Fur Collar Exshoesme.com — Fairytale-esque, no?

Julius FW11 Menswear Drapery on Exshoesme.com — Layered to perfection. I want to wear this on a cold winter's day.

Julius FW11 Menswear Draped Shawl on Exshoesme.com — An Indian groom ready to make his rounds?

Julius FW11 Menswear Lengths and Layers on Exshoesme.com — There is something about this multi-level layering that gets me every time I see it. Every. Time.

Julius FW11 Menswear Dull Gold Metallic Jacket on Exshoesme.com — Sheen without show. Metallic-ah.

Julius FW11 Menswear Goth White on Exshoesme.com — Stark white can be just as gothentic as noir from head to toe.

This may be menswear, but I’d love a few layers of it for myself.

Shun the critics. Be who you are. Every day.
