SS26 TEMPLE MEN’S
PALAIS DE TOKYO
THIS MEN’S COLLECTION IS NAMED ‘TEMPLE’, AFTER MY RETROSPECTIVE, NAMED ‘TEMPLE OF LOVE’ (‘LOVE’ IS A WORD REALLY WORTH PROMOTING RIGHT NOW), WHICH WILL BE OPENING IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RUNWAY SHOW AT THE MUSÉE PALAIS GALLIERA RIGHT
ACROSS THE STREET. A RETROSPECTIVE SUMMONS UP THOUGHTS OF PEAKING, FINALITY AND DECLINE AND I WAS DELIGHTED TO LEAN INTO THAT.
THE SOUND TRACK IS KLAUS NOMI, ONE OF THE LEGENDARY WEIRDOS WHO HELPED LIBERATE THE WEIRDO IN ME, SINGING ‘DIDO’S LAMENT’ FROM DIDO AND AENEAS BY HENRY PURCELL.
THY HAND BELINDA; DARKNESS SHADES ME,
ON THY BOSOM LET ME REST,
MORE I WOULD, BUT DEATH IN VADES ME;
DEATH I SNOW A WELCOME GUEST.
WHEN I AM LAID IN EARTH,
MAY MY WRONGS CREATE
NO TROUBLE IN THY BREAST;
REMEMBER ME ,
REMEMBER ME ,
REMEMBER ME ,
BUT AH! FORGET MY FATE…
DING - DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD

& WE'LL BE BACK IN PARIS FOR THE NEXT CEREMONIAL ON THE 22ND OF JANUARY 2026
🍂
DURING AUTUMN, WE MOSTLY EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE AND SAY GOODBYE TO WHAT NATURE HAS TO OFFER
WE DO STRUGGLE (A LOT) WITH THE COLD, BUT THE BEAUTIFUL COLORS AND STROLLS THROUGH NATURE WARM US UP FROM THE INSIDE OUT
WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THE TURTLE ISLAND AND WHATEVER NATURE HAS LEFT THERE SINCE COLON*ALISM TOOK OVER
WE HOPE ONE DAY WE'LL BE ABLE TO VISIT THE SO CALLED "NATIONAL PARKS" TO BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE REAL TREASURE
BUT, PARTICULARLY, A DRIVE FROM CANADA TO WASHINGTON DC, OFFERED AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A LITTLE GLIMPSE OF IT
~
AS EVERYONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND IS AWARE, THE UNITED STATES OF COLON*ALISM IS GOING THROUGH A PRETTY ROUGH TIME, BUT ONE VERY SPECIAL HAPPENING OCCURED IN THE BIG APPLE, WITCH MANAGED TO UNLEASH ONE HUGE WAVE OF HOPEFULNESS
& THAT IS THE MAMDANI WIN!
IT TRULY SPREAD A POWERFUL MESSAGE, THAT POSITIVE ENERGY CAN MANIFEST INTO GOVERNMENTAL MOVES,
AND WE TRULY HOPE THAT MANY NATIONS WILL JOIN THIS WAVE OF AWAKENING, WHILE CHOOSING ACTIONS THAT MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE THEMSELVES IN EVERY DAY HABITS
WE ALL NEED MORE LIGHT
STAY STRONG
♡
MAGICAL BELATED SAMHAIN EVERYONE
WE ARE HAPPY TO FINALLY BE ABLE TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU AND TO CELEBRATE THE LAUNCH OF OUR AUTUMN PLAYLIST, WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL(LINK IN BIO)
WE WERE EXCITED TO SHARE THIS PIECE WITH YOU, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE WANT TO APOLOGISE AS WE COULDN'T DO IT FOR THE PROMISED FLORENCE RELEASE, AS WE WERE WAITING FOR THE EVENT VIDEOGRAPHER TO SEND US THE FOOTAGE... UNSUCCESSFULLY
LUCKILY, AT LEAST OUR SWEET @PAVELANUSKA MANAGED TO CAPTURE A FEW MOMENTS SO THAT WE HAVE AT LEAST SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH YOU
& BLESS YOU FOR THAT!
THE PERFORMANCE STARTED WITH MOON PAINTING OWN FACE WITH CLOSED EYES, WITH THE FIRST TOUCH INITIATING THE SONICS
BUT WE UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE THE FOOTAGE, SO WE JUST WANTED TO SHARE IT HERE FOR YOU TO IMAGINE
THE RITUAL WAS ALIGNED TO FIRE, BUT AS YOU KNOW, WE DON'T LIKE TO DESCRIBE OUR CREATIONS
WE DO FIND OUR OWN CONNECTIONS AND WE TRULY JUST WANT FROM THE OBSERVER TO FIND THEIRS
~~~
HERE IS MOON'S RITUAL FOR @THEMANDRAKEHOTEL 'S SAMHAIN CELEBRATION
THANK YOU
FOR BELIEVING IN US & THE WHOLE WONDERFUL TEAM FOR CREATING SUCH A SPECIAL EVENT!

YOU WON'T NEED TO WAIT THAT LONG FOR OUR AUTUMN ONE, AS WE ARE AIMING TO RELEASE IT AT THE SAME TIME AS @FLORENCEANDTHEMACHINE NEW ALBUM
THE 31ST OF OCTOBER
MOTHER OCEANIA IS WHERE LIFE HAS STARTED AND WHENEVER WE VISIT HER, SHE MAKES US FEEL CONNECTED WITH ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF EXISTENCE
WE TRULY WANTED TO KEEP THE VISUALS AS SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD AS POSSIBLE AND WHEN WE'VE TAKEN THESE POLAROIDS WITH NO INTENTION, BUT SIMPLY CAPTURING OUR OWN PERSONAL MOMENT OF HAPPINESS AND UNITY
WE REALISED THAT THIS IS THE MOST HONEST & PUREST REPRESENTATION OF SUMMER FOR US
SUMMER IS OUR FAVOURITE SEASON, WHEN WE FINALLY TAKE AS MUCH TIME OFF AS POSSIBLE, TO ENJOY THIS LIFE
SO WE WANTED THIS PLAYLIST TO BE LONG ENOUGH TO CREATE THE HEALING ENVIRONMENT WE ALL DESERVE IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES
EVEN WHEN SUMMER IS ALREADY OFFICIALLY TRANSITIONING, WE HOPE YOU'LL FIND LOTS OF JOY LISTENING TO IT DURING ANY SEASON
WHENEVER YOU'D LIKE TO RELIVE THOSE KIND MOMENTS WHEN YOUR SKIN IS EMBRACED WITH SUN RAYS OR ANY OTHER CONNECTION YOU'LL CREATE SIMPLY JUST WITH THIS PLAYLIST
ART IS EXTREMELY SUBJECTIVE, SO YOU MIGHT FIND THE SONGS TO BE MORE CONNECTED WITH THE WINTER SEASON OR EVEN NO SEASON AT ALL
AND THAT’S COMPLETELY FINE BECAUSE
IN THE END, IT'S ALL ABOUT JOY
SENDING SOOOO MUCH LOVE & POWER TO EVERYONE🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💙

"NAMING THIS COLLECTION C O N C O R D I A N S , I WAS THINKING ABOUT MY 22 YEARS OF TRAVELING TO OUR FACTORY IN THIS SMALL INDUSTRIAL ITALIAN TOWN, CONCORDIA. AND NOT JUST ALONE BUT WITH MY TEAM, ALL TRAVELING FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE GLITTERING CITIES – TO LIVE HERE IN A KIND OF STUDIOUS ISOLATION. ALMOST BLEAKNESS. THIS CLOISTERED LIFE SEEMS TO BE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON REACHING FOR SOMETHING WEIRD AND WONDERFUL…THE 1ST YEAR, I STAYED IN A GRAND SUITE IN THE BAGLIONI HOTEL IN BOLOGNA THAT MY LICENSE AGREEMENT AT THE TIME PAID FOR. FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS, I SLEPT ON A COUCH IN MY OFFICE IN THE FACTORY TO IMMERSE MYSELF IN THE RHYTHM OF AN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION SCHEDULE THAT WAS NEW TO ME AND THAT I NEEDED TO LEARN TO SURVIVE. THE NEXT 10 YEARS, I STAYED AT THE CONCORDIA HOTEL THAT HAD JUST BEEN BUILT OVERLOOKING A GAS STATION, IN A NO FRILLS SERIAL KILLER ROOM. 7 YEARS AGO, AN APARTMENT BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE FACTORY AND THAT’S WHERE I HAVE MY CURRENT APARTMENT."

APART FROM SHARING THE BEAUTY OF SPRING AWAKENING THROUGH OUR BELOVED HAMPSTEAD HEATH
WE HOPE THIS POST WILL INSPIRE YOU TO VISIT YOUR OWN ORGANIC SURROUNDINGS
FOREST BATHING IS AN ANCIENT PRACTICE
NATURE TRULY HEALS & HEALING IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE CERTAINLY NEEDS
MAGICAL SOLSTICE 🧚🏻♂️
PS: NO POST-PRODUCTION INVOLVED
(NOT THAT POST-PRODUCTION IS NEGATIVE,
WE ARE ONLY POINTING OUT THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS PARTICULAR CREATION)
MAGICAL SPRING EVERYONE 🌱
WHAT A TIME WE ARE FINDING OURSELVES IN...
WE ARE NOT SURE HOW YOU ARE COPING, BUT BREATHING HAS BEEN CONTINOUSLY MORE CHALLENGING FOR MOST OF US
EVEN WITH MAKING ANY PUBLIC STATEMENTS,
WE HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING WORDS TO EXPRESS OUR FEELINGS & SIMPLY NOTHING SEEMS GOOD ENOUGH
WE ALSO HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE WE LOST ALL THE FILES FROM OUR PREVIOUS PROJECT AND BECAUSE IT WAS DONE IN WASHINGTON DC, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO IT AGAIN
ANYWAY,
WE TAKE ANY DISAPPEARENCE OF OUR ART QUITE BADLY, SO NOT THAT ONLY WE WERE FEELING SPEECHLESS WITH THE CURRENT GLOBAL SITUATION, BUT ALSO DISHEARTENED WITH THIS LOSS
FURTHERMORE WITH THE FULL ON AWAKENING OF AI
AND OUR CONNECTION TO THEM
+ WE NEEDED TO SORT OUT SOME PERSONAL LOGISTICS...
BUT, NOW IS THE TIME TO MOVE ON AND MANIFEST
FIRSTLY
WE'VE RECREATED A PLAYLIST ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL CALLED SPRING & WE HOPE IT WILL MAKE YOUR DAYS BRIGHTER IN THESE WILD TIMES
OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL CAN BE FOUND THROUGH THE LINK IN BIO
WE HAVEN'T TALKED TO YOU DIRECTLY THROUGH THE CAMERA LENS FOR A WHILE & WE'D LIKE THIS TO BE THE BEGINNING OF A NEW EPOCH
WE ARE EXCITED TO BRING MANY NEW PROJECTS & FOR TODAY, WE'D LIKE TO RISE OUR VOICE ESPECIALLY FOR THE TRANS COMMUNITY
THE UK SUPREME COURT RULING IS A STEP BACK, BUT EVOLUTION IS ONLY ABOUT MOVING FORWARD
ESPECIALLY GOING FORWARD WITH COMPASSION & UNITY
SO "IF WE BURN, THEY'LL BURN WITH US"
MOCKINGJAY
IF YOU CAN, PLEASE GO AND DONATE YOUR LOCAL TRANS CHARITY
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, BE THE VOCAL SUPPORT, BECAUSE IT'S A LOT ABOUT HOW THE PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS SHIFT
AND EVERYONE MOST IMPORTANTLY NEEDS EDUCATION
STAY STRONG
THANK YOU
LOVE YOU

WE ARE TRULY SORRY, BUT INSTA DIDN'T ALLOW US TO TAG MORE THAN ONE TAG, OTHERWISE THE WHOLE APP BREAKS DOWN
HONESTLY... GET UR SH*T TOGETHER M*RK!
WE'LL TRY TO TAG EVERYONE TOMORROW 🤍
~CONTINUATION OF THE PREVIOUS POST~
WAS THIS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE THIS WAY? THE FIGHT TRIGGERED BY GREED AND HATRED, UNTIL ENOUGH BLOOD HAS BEEN SPILLED AND THE HUNGRY CALLS WIND DOWN ENOUGH FOR THE EMERGENCE OF THE RENAISSANCE, UNTIL THE OPULENT TRIGGER THE HORN OF THE BEAST FOR THE CYCLE OF MASSACRE TO REWOKE
THE ISSUE IS, THAT THE POWER OF HUMANITY IS SUBSTANTIALLY GROWING, WHILE HATE, MISINFORMATION, LOW INTELLECT AND SELFISH BEHAVIOUR ARE STILL PRESENT
AND FOR THAT REASON, WE HAVE TO APPLAUD TO ANYONE WHO FINDS THE POWER IN THESE DIFFICULT DAYS, NOT JUST TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF ONESELF, BUT ALSO OF OTHERS
WITHOUT YOU, WE ARE NOT SURE IF THERE WOULD EVEN BE ANY HUMANITY LEFT AS OF NOW
& FOR THAT REASON WE WERE INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL WHEN RICK REACHED OUT TO US, TO HELP HIM RECRUIT THE "ARMY OF LOVE"
IT'S EVERYONE! IT'S THE WATERMELON STICKER, THE FRIEND WHO RECOMMENDED YOU A BETTER WAY TO DRINK WATTTER WITHOUT BUYING PLASTIC, THE GRANDMA WHO SIGNED AN ONLINE PETITION,...
EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP SHAMING EACH OTHER, AS EVERY LITTLE CONTRIBUTION IS COUNTABLE AND FOR US PERSONALLY, THIS IS WHAT WE WERE CELEBRATING
THE UNSELFISH GLORY OF BEING UNITED FOR THE COMMON GOAL OF SPREADING THE LIGHT THROUGH THE DARKNESS
IT'S BEYOND AN INCREDIBLE HONOUR TO BE PART OF THIS ARMY, BLESS YOU RICK AND EVERYONE INVOLVED
"EXPRESSING OUR INDIVIDUALITY IS GREAT BUT SOMETIMES EXPRESSING OUR UNITY AND RELIANCE ON EACH OTHER IS A GOOD THING TO REMEMBER TOO... ESPECIALLY IN THE FACE OF THE PEAK INTOLERANCE WE ARE EXPERIENCING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW..."

"LAST SEASON’S COLLECTION WAS NAMED ‘PORTERVILLE’ AFTER THE SMALL JUDGEMENTAL TOWN I HAD TO ESCAPE FROM. THIS SEASON’S COLLECTION IS NAMED ‘HOLLYWOOD’ AFTER THE BOULEVARD OF VICE I GLEEFULLY RAN TO... TO FIND MY PEOPLE... WEIRDOS AND FREAKS... LIVING IN A WORLD LOU REED DESCRIBED IN ‘WALK ON THE WILD SIDE’... I WAS LOOKING FOR THE FLAMING CREATURES I HAD SEEN FILMED BY JACK SMITH AND KENNETH ANGER...
AND I ALWAYS REFERENCE THE LOST HOLLYWOOD OF PRE-CODE BLACK AND WHITE BIBLICAL EPICS, MIXING ART DECO, LURID SIN AND REDEEMING MORALITY."
RICK OWENS
THE SIGNS WERE THERE, BUT THE OBLIVION THAT HOLLYWOOD TURNED INTO IN THE PAST DAYS, IS TRULY SYMBOLIC OF WHAT THE WORLD AND HUMANITY ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW
LAST WINTER MOON HIKED THROUGH THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS AND WE MIGHT BE THE LAST INDIVIDUAL WHO RECORDED THEIR FINAL STAGE BEFORE IT ALL DISAPPEARED
WHEN THE NEWS SPREAD, WE CONTACTED OUR LOVED ONES FROM THE COMFORT OF LONDON, WITH HOPE THAT EVERYONE ELSE WE DIDN'T KNOW, ESPECIALLY ANIMALS, MADE IT ALIVE
