my favorite things: tennis fashion talk with mcenroe, serena, and bjorn

ok now the ac post was inspiring…. you guys can go and help yourselves to nike and their virgil abloh shit… printing redundancies on shoes and shirts don’t rock my world and they sure as hell don’t qualify as apparel design… a catsuit and a tutu is the best they can do? yawn!

when it comes to tennis get ups, for me, nothing beats the sergio tacchini and fila whiteline outfits designed for mcenroe and bjorn borg, i would kill right now for those zip ups… anyone know one?

john mcenroe sporting a nike T… while borg stays loyal to his fila endorsement for the time being

i always loved this sergio tacchinis zipper top part of the outfit for john mcenroe…. this was reissued a few years ago but unfortunately the cut of the sleeves did not match the original

“bad hair day”-cade

john mcenroe, bjorn borg, and vitas gerulaitis in new york’s central park aug. 25, 1981.

borg and his iconic head band… oi think he was the one to start that silly craze that dragged on all the way to andre agassi and beyond

it was an equal opportunity type of a decade, brands where content in owning one area or another, nike made the shoes, and italian sergio tacchini made the clothes. a balance ecosystem. here, bjorn borg and john mcenroe in nike and diadora shoes but fila and tacchini apparel and dunlop and wilson racquets… good old days… finally no i did not forget richie tenenbaum or the royal tenenbaums. I chose to omit them… lame channeling mister wes – i like your other films much better. by dd

serena williams vs john mcenroe

  japanese haitian naomi osaka

something stinks in here!

the irony of it all: at the billie jean king national tennis center

serena williams argues with the chair umpire during the match against neomi osaka at the womens 2018 final in US open.

john mcenroe known for his well tempered manners, gestures angrily at empire joey lessing during a match in new york in 1980 (aka mcenroe pissed!)

lovely naomi osaka wins in not the most idyllic of settings…

at least somebody is happy! not that mcenroe had nice words for serenas game – not if she was to face a male tennis player… let’s make that movie again.

Ill let you all go to town on this. i’m split. rules are rules, you can argue them, try to change them, but while they are there deal with them. then again john and hi boyfriends before serena surely put up a fight much louder and more out of line than her. i was first taking sides with serena but only to be convinced of some doubt otherwise by my female friends!!! you guys duke it over. its a silly social thing… by ac

pix of model candice swanepoel by photographer adam franzino 

we do have a mandatory nude post policy here at TS, where we are obliged to post soft nudes just to compete with all you “influencers” who post , well soft nudes on instagram! so here it is… but here’s a story at least about these pix… now can you imagine candice had to go on social media and ask people not to body shame her after she gave birth to her child and gained like 2 and half pounds. what kindd-of-a world do we live in people? by ac

moncler rocks the samurai train and we love it!

love the new moncler designs by london-based menswear designer craig green

a nod to the frenchies… the michelin man would be proud of mister green

samurais looked cool in japan – people who try to look-like samurais in aspen, a whole ‘norther story!

skepta drinking his cool-aid : no… you don’t look cool dude, you look ridiculous

again not that these are intended to be worn, although no doubt kanye and his fans will, there’s also those who wear pineapples on their heads, or anything that is obnoxious, attention is on the decline, but this exercise in shape and proportion is simply a breath of fresh air for us. they make us love moncler for their bravery… and that alone is worth every penny they spent…

drooooool…

asymmetric anyone?

love these silhouettes – Hattori Hanzō

invincible in the tube

sculptural

and there’s always a variation of the label to insure your money is well spent…

maison martin margiela label

the label is very margiela-knock but that’s ok, you can copy legends. we did it too. well done moncler for the statement, love the trickle down variation also on ssense.com and congrats to you on having a silly market that will wear anything you dish out as long as its reassuringly expensive – its called desperation by uh
