Ukusukela oko waphehlelelwa indawo yakhe ye-e-commerce, uJeffrey uthe uyonwabela kakhulu idatha yokuthengisa ukuze aqonde ukuba abathengi bakhe bafuna ntoni ngokwenene.
UCharles Jeffrey wajonga ngqo ebumnyameni kwingqokelela yakhe yamva nje. “Ngumzuzu wokucinga kunye nokwamkela inyani yokuba ... ngamanye amaxesha uba neemvakalelo ze-sh-y,” utshilo.
Ukususela kumzuzwana ukuya kwintshukumo - i-manifesto kwimifanekiso eqhekekileyo
Lo myalelo ubhalwe nge-inki engabonakaliyo, lo mbongo weprose uya kugqabhuka. Iibrushstrokes ezitshileyo kumqolo wakho, amaqhina alandelayo esilivere asele esele, amaqhina anithiweyo okutsalwa kwe-gestural. Imbonakalo eqaqambileyo ebumnyameni. Masibethelele le jeli eludongeni. Bamba "umoya ngaphambi kokuba utsibe".
Ubumnyama bumalunga nokuzola, ukuzola kwe-Irving Penn portrait, ye-daguerreotype, yepeyinti ye-vanitas: isiqhamo siyabola kwaye wonke umntu obuhlungu ngenxa yokubamba i-pose, kodwa kulo lindelo kukho imincili. Umzuzu ngaphambi kokuba 'i-curtain up' yoluliwe, inqunyanyiswe, ikhulelwe amandla.
Koku kuzola kukwakho nentshukumo. Impahla idityanisiwe ukubonisa ukudilika kwelaphu, ukuqhawuka, ukuza kungalungiswa: zihlala ziseludinini lokunyibilika phambi kwamehlo omntu. I-Treadbare tartan, ephakanyisiweyo ngenxa yobuhlwempu, i-ethe-ethe, i-translucent, i-ghostly kwaye icacile. I-façade yaseCorbusian ibonisa ukuphazamiseka ngaphakathi.
EVULILEYO/UBUSIKA 2021 ‘BUTHUNYWA’
Ukuba i-LOVERBOY ingqokelela yokugqibela ibimalunga nethemba kunye nokuzama ukuba nethemba, umnikelo wakhe we-AW21 umalunga nobhubhane ofike ekhaya.
“Bendifuna ukunxibelelana ngobumnyama esibuvayo sonke,” utshilo. Wenze uphando kwimizobo kaGqr Seuss yasezinzulwini zobusuku- "eyahluke kakhulu kumabali anethemba adume ngawo" utshilo umyili owaphuhlisa uthango lukaDavid Lynch kwaye wathabatheka nguLouis Bourgeois esebenza elaphu.
Oku kudityaniswa ne-groundhog grind of Lockdown, kwamkhokelela ekubeni ajonge ezona nkalo zixhalabileyo nezikhathazayo zengqondo kwaye abonise imvakalelo yokuba sesichengeni ecaleni kokutyikitya kwakhe ukuzingca. Uhlala ethatha imizobo kunye neepateni ezithungelweyo kwimizobo yakhe ecacileyo, kodwa ngeli xesha, imifanekiso eshukumayo evela kwifilimu ehlekisayo eyenziwe nguThurston Redding ifilimu enomdanisi uKate Coin, yaprintwa kwiisilika kunye neehempe zangaphandle.
Kwi-AW21, i-Loverboy tartan yakhe yatyhalelwa kukuqina kokuqina kunye ne-PU coating, inika inkangeleko efana nesikhumba. Emva koko yatyhalelwa ekubeni buthathaka ngokugqithisileyo ngemisonto inyibilikiswe yaba ngumphetho ocolekileyo. Umyili welaphu uthi: “Ilaphu kunye nokwakheka kwalo kuyafana,” watsho umyili, ebonisa ukuba amalaphu anokongezwa. Wayidibanisa nombono "wokulungisa iimvakalelo ezaphukileyo," ezaziphambili engqondweni yakhe njengoko siphuma kwindawo evaliweyo.
Uphawu lwakhe lwazalelwa kwiklabhu yaseDalston iVogue Fabrics, kodwa iiklabhu zivaliwe ixesha elingaphezu konyaka ngoku. Ukuvalwa okuqhelekileyo ngolwesiHlanu okanye ngoMgqibelo ebusuku kumyili uchithwa ehleli ekhaya nesithandwa sakhe kwaye edlala nge make-up. Uthi: “Ndihlala ndicinga ngendlela ekuphilisa ngayo ukuba kwigumbi elizele ngabantu bonke bedanisa ingoma enye. Kanye njengoko iiklabhu ezifana neVogue Fabrics zenza umsebenzi obalulekileyo wentlalontle, ngokwenza indawo kubantu abahlala kwindawo ye-queer, ngoko uJeffrey ufuna ukuba uphawu lwakhe lube malunga nokwakha indawo kunye nokuphakamisa abantu. I-Loverboy kwi-2020s iya kuba yi-Warholian hotbed, eyakhelwe kwintsebenziswano kunye nemvakalelo yosapho, kunye namagcisa ahlala kunye nengqiqo yawo yoluntu. Ndiphume ebumnyameni, singene ekukhanyeni.
