Slipknot !!

When we talk about the American heavy metal band Slipknot, what comes to our minds are their identical jump suits, unique masks, attention-grabbing image, aggressive music style, and energetic and chaotic live shows. The band's deadly exotic style has acclaimed them to become one of the most popular bands of the late 90s. Their album 'All Hope is Gone' received the top position on the Billboard.

And I believe we can quite relate the band's image to Thom Browne's Mens Fall-Winter 2012 collection. The theme tries to denote a situation wherein 'Punks face off against Jocks'. With low-slung pants, skirts, jackets with spikes, huge shoulders, grotesquely exaggerated musculature, spiked leather masks, the show was quite an entertainment to the audience. And if we talk about the mid-reef baring in menswear then I guess its not something new and designers have been doing that since quite long. The look was sartorial yet raw. Also, the animal print on the pants and jackets kept the sophomore image of the wearers.
