Flipping through the latest issue of GQ I realized that my biggest nightmare in terms of colours is back, Pastels. I hate them from the bottom of my heart. For me, pastels are such an uninspired coulour, if you have no clue what colour you like or you are afraid to make a statement, just wear pastels.
Wearing colours was never my cup of tea, I tried it several times and it failed horribly every single time. I guess my skin looks even more pale when I wear colours and on top I have no clue what colour goes with what skin tone. I guess I would have been a great costume designer in the era of silent movies but nowadays I would screw it up big time.
Anyway, pastels are back. From Alexander McQueen to Ermenegildo Zegna all major designers feature pastels exessively in their mens spring/summer 2008 collections and I´m seriously worried what will be next. After pastels there is only one way, down hill.
Pastels are for french pastries, men in their midlife crisis, rich bitches whose faces have been pulled so tight that they can´t see what they´re buying, dog clothing, cough drops and boring wedding china.
I will ignore this trend, like most of the other trends, and will stick with a fresh mouse grey, Hollywood bleached teeth white and the usual jet black this season.
