Fashion has nothing to do with stability. It is an eternal
change. Also, I believe fashion has nothing to do with beautiful things.
I think fashion has to deal with the ugly, the disturbed.
The aim of fashion is to give people another perspective of reality, a
distorted one, and make the ugly seem beautiful.
For many of you, Rick Genest might not be a beauty icon, but
recently he’s become one of the most requested male models in the fashion
industry. His body is fully covered by tattoos.
The “Zombie Boy” went bankrupt for he spent all his money on tattoos,
and when asked if he had also tattooed his penis, he said he didn’t, because he
didn’t have other money for it.
There was a Facebook page dedicated to him, called “I bet
this guy will regret getting this tattoo once he’s older”, and that page
brought him to fame, when Nicola Formichetti (Director of Vogue Hommes Japan
and also, fashion director of the Haus of Gaga) saw him. Formichetti contacted
him, and aked him to take a few pictures for the Mugler campaign, then
everything is just history. He walked the catwalk for Mugler’s fashion shows,
and starred in Lady Gaga’s music video for Born This Way, where she herself was
wearing make-up similar to his zombie tattoos.
So, as we can see, beauty has actually nothing to do with
fashion. All that matters is creativity, being original, the attitude. Many of
you might be scared of Rick Genest, but I’d give anything away just to get to
meet him. He’s a very handsome boy, in my opinion, and it’s such a shame he’s
got a girlfriend. As Coco Chanel would say, fashion fades, only style remains the same.
