...were not actually in Bali. They were at the Petrou Man Spring 2011 presentation at Soho House. Boys on the beach in Bali in the 50's was the inspiration for the 'grooming' for the show. Maki decided to make all the boys super matte on their faces, matching the darkest part of the face into an all over monochrome with hints of strategic sheen on the outer brow bones and cheekbones to mimic sweat....

Tomek, one of the Bali Boys on the Beach ;) Hes polish although everyone seemingly mistakes him for being Scandinavian...
The presentation was extremely cool. Held in the library of the building amongst wood paneling, books and coffee tables, the boys sat around and played boardgames and snacked on teacakes & macaroons:
I was uber fascinated by the accessorizing of this collection: flexible body braces that attached to different parts of the body so some of the boys looked like they were housed inside of little cages accessorized with everything from gum drops & nribbons to little lego men: |
