The Requiem. It was so cool DVD -Nemeth 1




" As for his great achievement, an underground performance and a mode and the fusion of the street were very grand.
It is a very disappointing thing that fashion people do not recognize the great achievement. " by Jun TAKAHASHI/UNDER COVER:

『 彼の偉業はアンダーグラウンドとモード、そしてストリートの融合、とても偉大でした。
その偉業をファッションピープルが認識していないのはとても残念な事です。 』  高橋盾/UNDERCOVER

In Memory of Christopher Nemeth,




It had know the news from a friend.
Immediately
It was unbelievable.
Tough, but believing.

From a distance,
We sincerely pray for you.

I am deeply saddened at the death of Christopher Nemeth.

For me, the deep
I can respect as a human creator.
With kindness and stubbornness

Be one of the best when he was making the clothes looks so cool for himself
Was really pure and charming man.
Well, he had made the all by himself,
In the space
I will never forget his smile.

By the side of Keiko,
Dog plays with his kindness and
With beer cans
When he had told about works, was too shy to speak
But he is confident that the whole,
This scene was Nemeth's for me.

In My 25-years of the mode,
Most of the people had been look to "The VANTY" world
Many people pass through him
Then, found the entrance to the Media
And flew out of to the runways

In such a world,
walking straight down on his own ways
Was of importance
Was very pure.
Therefore he was a great precious man.


"He was an amazing, influential talent".

For the Fashion-kizzy on a Harajuku Street in their 90s and
Also,CdG, J. Galliano, A. L. Mcqueen & more etc,,
People who like to dress, including me
great impression and impact of craftsmanship skill
Given influential to calm
was characteristic of really him.

He knew his whereabouts.
Stand himself and the world,
His favorite clothes, shoes, drawing,so on
Live his way
Before it was firmly believed that a load off.

"Ancient Briton"

It was the theme of his debut collection on '85 in London.
Even now, this value of an old-fashioned idea never changed
Venerable indomitable Briton spirit.
Assume craftsman mind own art
It's a one of confidence.
The romanticist who demanded that he lived purely.

Purely on their own, to live a life given,
Of course, the most difficult thing alone
Keiko and Princess of his two daughters
Have a wonderful family
A foreign country of less than 25 years that he was protected, and was spent.

In the foreign country,
really caught it to him, and how would,

The calmness that is true in heaven
Please,smoke to can beer one hand
Please,watch over your precious people

I must say again
Really so much, thank you very much.
Mr. Christopher Nemeth.

Whether,
Please your deeply sleep in full of the peaceful.

What is "CARE/CURE" ? The theme for the next generation. / From my Archive Article:

I had write this article for special issue of the LePli;
It's writing about the Future's Fashion after the "WRAPPING & PROTECTION"

When you finish your studies at your college and dive into the fashion industry as a professional, what will your work be like? What aspects will become important for you? How will couture, from the high fashion to high street, evolve in the future? To answer this question, I would like to suggest a new theme for a new generation, an idea that could be the source of inspiration, the foundation of your work.

And this foundation is "CARE/CURE". Itユs a concept that overlays the current theme of "PROTECT/PROTECTION", a theme which, in itself, is inherently self-limiting. This new theme, a radical concept of co-existence, is based on the principle of connecting with each other instead of isolating ourselves as a means of protection. As people nurture their relationships with others, so we become more empathic. There is a sense of connectivity, how we relate to each other. So, keeping in mind this notion of what I call "relationally", we move to the concept of "CARE/CURE", meaning "where there is care there is healing".

It is essential for those who have achieved a good life in a thriving society to feel secure, safe and well in order to maintain their important "relativity". I would like to propose the concept that wearing clothes and the reality itself will offer "CARE/CURE" for society where your future customers will put on clothes that make them feel "secure", "safe", and "well".

La Hommage for the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition in Paris. By my Archive on June 2nd '08

"Yves saint Laurent passed away.
And finally with his passing the last of the great names has gone.

May he rest in peace.

You have worked for a long time.
And you worked well.
You are the one who made me truly understand
what the メElegance of Parisモ meant .
I thank you.

You shone.
You were the brightest star that ultimately burnt out in the end.

Those of us who are left behind should reveal our ugliness.モ


He was precocious, too.

With his ingenious foresight, he charged through the world of fashion.
His legs, once so beautiful and slender tripped on unfamiliar ground.


No matter how much I try, I canユt like K.L.
Itユs not a matter of taste, I think.
I canユt help comparing him to Yves saint Laurent.
Why on earth did P. Berge, who had been dumped by Bernard Buffet, manage to find such a good-looking man of such caliber?
I read a book.
 
Cocteau said that Berge would come to visit him at a bankerユs holiday house in the South of France, where Cocteau was staying, along with his boyfriend. His boyfriend was once Bernard Buffet. But this time, Berge brought メa young man too beautifulモ in place of Buffet.

I trust Bergerユs ability to understand beauty.
And I cannot like K.L. no matter what.
The difference is simply too big.


In the mid 50ユs when the world was recovering from of WWII,
This inconceivably beautiful man who was hiding his talent in his sleeve emerged in the city.
Equipped with the precociousness that stabs メbeautyモ and メfreedomモ with メtalentモ, he met three men who he was destined to meet.
Michel de Brunoff, Christian Dior, and then later Pierre Berge




May, 1968.
There was a growing wave of revolution.
The events of 40 years ago are still connected to everything new in Paris and France.
It was not only a mere political phenomenon.
It changed the メrelationalityモ of men and women, the way they lived, how they connected themselves to the society, their life styles, their morale, and fashion industry itself.
Yves Saint-Laurent Rive Gauche opened two years prior to these events on the left bank of the Seine.
Caught up in the maelstrom of May 68, the world turned to the culture movement.
The world of Paris fashion was released from the secluded upper class strictures and witnessed the birth of "ready-to-wear".
"Yves Saint-Laurent Rive Gauche" pioneered new generation.


Today, the shelves of the book shops of this city are filled with books about "May 68“.
M.Sarkozy was one of the reactionaries.
This is its 40th aniversary.

In the midst of such a trend,
he was gone.
Never to come back.

That precocious aesthetic boy who was to run through the world with his quick legs somehow realized that he had taken a wrong way.
And he found himself uneasy.



Rest.
Now you can rest.
Rest and sleep deeply.
Recall the time when you were young and mature,
And the time you had no time to sleep.
Recall the blaze of the Sun.
Please rest in peace.



This city taught me メeleganceモ.
You are the one who let me smell the scent.

I truly pay my last respects, for evermore.

 “Going on means going far. Going far means returning."

Original Dawn of June 2nd 2008/

PS;

It ended.
One era certainly ended.
And
Times certainly changed.
If he had not come to this city,
the fashion industry of this city would have remained in the old, the restricted.

The birth of ready-to-wear would have been delayed.



We must hurry.
Hurry and find new values.
We must find the new values of the world of fashion.

A baby must have been born somewhere,
who is
precocious
beautiful
quick to run away
and can successfully be the icon of an age.

I see a shooting star.

I'm flattered to be invited,

Hi,Dear Hussein;
Thanks a lot for invite me for your opening.
It was so nice & so happy to see you,again Also,It was congratulations!!
That exhibition is great & cool.

I had feel,you is you & still perfectionist & charming character but, had gained weight very much,Hussein.(Did you make money so lot,already?? That's great!!)

My opinion of the exhibition are,
Those contents already felt slightly old that means, when time passes,those the critical mind to let you feel each times loses an image.
However,like a this exhibition are very important for fashion business in future that mean the image no more making a realty,the realty will be making a image also,everybody can be making image,in fact. So, how to make to set up continuity for your brand identity?
As for the fashion business what kind of way of technique is necessary in future?
For my thought,the future fashion business where are going ?that It's a relationship between " The original tableaus & the post-cards",that's only.
" The original tableaus & the post-cards", their need the box. The box means the museum will be making that relationship,It's very important & so useful for that because,
the box will be make the episode for your brand future that's so much important more than image,in fact.
The episode are memory of the realty,that's not a image.
The your brand had make a so hight quality & so great original tableaus by your sophisticated cultures,already, that's really the brand Hussein Chalayan!
So I can believe & respect you,Hussein.
Anyway,I had so much curiosity from your exhibition in this time, thank you so much,again!!
