“I prefer to call myself pube-king.” That’s one missive from John Waters, the king of bad taste, and official inspiration source for John Long<\/a>‘s AW13 collection. We review the schlock factor here.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n When a show counts gross-out film maestro John Waters as one of its source inspirations, you know you’re in for something special. Like Waters, James Long<\/a> is one of those designers who isn’t afraid of the unusual – if you needed any doubt, just check out his collection of rubberised pleated trousers.<\/p>\n If you’re a knitwear fan like us, you’ll probably be keeping a lust list of LCM jumpers (Richard Nicoll’s aqua pullover<\/a>, for instance). So all hail the new king of our list: Long’s flamingo appliqu\u00e9 jumper, its Tiki Tiki Lounge ridiculousness kept in check by the muted military green.\u00a0For those less willing to wear a full-on caricature of drag icon Divine on their chest, there’s the cropped bombers with their densely woven tapestry knit. Like John Waters, it might all be a little too out there for some – but there’s plenty of pickings for the more discerning fan here.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> MORE LONDON COLLECTIONS: MEN COVERAGE Text: Zing Tsjeng “I prefer to call myself pube-king.” That’s one missive from John Waters, the king of bad taste, and official inspiration source for John Long‘s AW13 collection.
