Hello!

fan
One.
FAN WEAR

The most pressing news this week is of course the availability of FAN WEAR, our fabulous collaboration with Arket. It’s in stores now, as well as in our webshop, and consists of five T-shirts and a cap. ■ The garments come in navy blue with white print, or navy print on white, and say FAN or FANTASTICMAN or NAMCITSATNAF. ■ It’s the funnest way to express admiration and joy – what else do we need? Sunshine.

THE FASHIONS

We survived Paris Fashion Week and are still processing all we had to take in. ■ But in general, one rule of thumb still stands: a nice shoe and sock make a great foundation for any look. It’s something that pretty much all readers can apply on a daily basis, and it works! ■ Above, a fancy pair of sneakers with a 3-dimensional cannage pattern and a sock featuring a cute cat motif at DIOR, as always under supervision of KIM JONES.

Sean

SEAN DELEAR

A lot has happened since the incredible artist and performer SEAN DELEAR passed away in 2017. ■ Two dear friends of SEAN, and coincidentally both also Fantastic Man contributors, MICHAEL BULLOCK and CESAR PADILLA, edited a wildly successful book based on SEAN’s teenage diary, ‘I Could Not Believe It’. And now there’s a documentary on the very film-worthy life of SEAN. ■ It’s 82-minutes long and can be streamed (only this weekend) via this portal. The trailer (and perhaps at some point the entire film) is on MUBI. Wild!
