Snapper : George Platt Lynes

in costume for his ballet Filling Station (1938)
American photographer George Platt Lynes (1907-1955) was sent to Paris when he turned 18 with the idea of better preparing him for college. His life was forever changed by the circle of friends that he would meet there. Gertrude Stein, Glenway Wescott, Monroe Wheeler and those that he met through them opened an entirely new world to the young artist. He returned to the United States with the idea of a literary career and he even opened a bookstore in Englewood, New Jersey two years later. He first became interested in photography not with the idea of a career, but to take photographs of his friends and display them in his bookstore. Returning to France the next year in the company of Wescott and Wheeler, he traveled around Europe for the next several years, always with his camera at hand. He developed close friendships within a larger circle of artists including Jean Cocteau and Julien Levy, the art dealer and critic. Levy would exhibit his photographs in his gallery in New York City in 1932 and Lynes would open his studio there that same year. He was soon receiving commissions from Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country and Vogue including a cover with perhaps the first supermodel, Lisa Fonssagrives. While he continued to shoot fashion photographs, getting accounts with such major clients as Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue during the 1930s and 1940s he was losing interest and had started a series of photographs which interpreted characters and stories from Greek mythology.

Patryk Ervell
American designer Patrik Ervell, 34, couldn't have chosen a more topical theme than the friction between repression and revolt, so it seemed rather fashion-y of him to deny any political context for this season's collection. The way he was pitching it, his theme was really his way round a new take on the aesthetics of the uniform. "What authority looks like now", he explained. "You disarm it by referencing it". Still sounds pretty political, but whatevs; it fortunately made for a strong, even radical showing. The authority Mr E referenced was a police state. The uniforms were those of urban commandos. The opening outfit -a sweater in nylon-patched electric blue baby alpaca, matched to pleated flecked wool pants- set the tone : a Blade Runner-ish combo of tech and retro. Patryk Ervell talked about "moments of protest that emerge through the cracks and edges of a heavily policed state", and he found a striking visual metaphor in the gold ribbing on a nylon top, or the gold trim on a fleece jacket : hardcore function unhinged by a subversive flicker of luxury. Where once he had shivering latex as his trump card, here the NYC-based designer used hand-painted silk in shirts, and a SWAT jacket. It was such a poetic touch that his notion of disarming authority suddenly made sense. Political power may grow out of the barrel of a gun, but Patrik Ervell's poetry made a police state pretty for one mad moment. He also played with a few slight details, like ribbed rubber straps and soles that gave the otherwise minimalist aura a hit of texture. Contemplative with a forward-thinking lean. The suits were left simple -matte gray, navy, and other speckled shades- with a young fit. He also kept the shirts club-collared and buttoned high, with an arty disposition. If shoegaze could be distilled into menswear, this show would be the results. A nice wearable collection, you would say. Which is not so bad at all.
