Private Policy Public Plethora
Private Policy. #NYFW Runway Show. Fall/Winter 2024-25. Saturday February 10, 2024. Ideal Glass Studios. Custom Soundtrack by: @lstnght.collective x @imjesshu
Today’s setting: Acrylic paint splattered on my floor and all over my hands & clothes as I continue to paint a colorful abstract intricate hidden meaning in many places painting, that I have worked on for 5+ Months. Layer 22 and 23 were applied today, as I listen to Loud hard pounding Techno direct from some club in Berlin. While watching Lady Gaga sip decadent Italian expresso as she upsets and uproots the House of Gucci, on the TV with the sound turned to zero.
Since I work on Sunday, I Attempt to douse 2 days of a weekend into one Saturday with an overload of sensory additives. So I added in one more audio/visual stimuli into the mix with the Private Policy Fall/Winter NYFW Runway Show. Inside of this video below, a swirling staircase of even more daedalian labyrinthine multitudes of obvious & hidden meanings.
The show is highlighted with a curious duplexity of ideas, curated by a creative custom soundtrack and a futuristic fluorescent green entrance into a runway of crumbled hay in a cowboy-girl barn.
Women and Men strut the catwalk with super slicked back glossy hair almost as plastique as some of the Futue-Past Jetson’s suits in a multitude of colors. The menswear stand-outs include the future forward cowboyesque Cris-Crossed beige flannel shirt, the jackets with more pockets than one can count and the dark distressed denim jacket.
For the women we have a polymorphic plethora of delicious offerings including: The brightly shimmering astro-space silver dress and the form fitting shortskirt, the grey militaristic jacket with the ultra skimpy matching mini skirt, and the flowing oh so effortlessly black satin dress.
See what else you can find within this journey into future-past-future dreams of Private Policy. Let us know in the comments section below the blog post.
Destination Unknown. The World is so Strange. You don’t know your Destination and Something could Change. It’s Unknown and then You want to Know.

Odette Alverez’ Colorful Wonderland
Odette Alvarez-Spring/Summer 2024. Madrid, Spain. 9/18/23
Music-Carmen, Act1: Habenero
OMG! Just yesterday I was telling my daughter Ashlyn, that Purple and Green are the go to colors at the moment. I noticed them in San Francisco last month and decided my next Streetzblog promo shirt would highlight these 2 colors. And look what comes down the runway first today, Purple & Green. I love it!
The music was a bit challenging for me to deal with. I still get memory twinges of having to go to the Opera as an 8 year old and for some reason, this type of music freaks me out. Like Big Time! I couldn’t tell you why, it just does.
I do like the blue pants and the oversized sheer button down shirt. It looks so comfy, I’d trade what I’m wearing right now to put it on. And I have some pretty pricey & dope Y-3 shorts on right now.
In many of the looks, the clothing is a bit over the top, yet I’m sure it works well in Madrid or at an expensive Fetes De La Nuit in the South of France. The HD level of the video is next level and I do like the dark room withe the blue spot-lights. And Make sure you watch until the end when the backdrop transforms and turns into quite a spectacle.
Purple, green and yellow outfits about mid-show are so intricate and trippy that I didn’t even notice the music. Wow! Such nice details and deluxe tailoring. Very nice! Another piece I am fond of is the black cape with the fluorescent green and some of the oversized hoodies hoods are pretty impressive. And if you ever need a great Easter or Kentucky Derby fascinator or Derby styled chapeaux, Odette Alvarez is the place to shop, that is for sure!
It’s great to see professional, stylish, classic models on the Runway. Only they could pull off some of the black and silver dresses. Very Classy. Thank you Odette for the enjoyable Show!
Don’t be a Haighter on this Street
On the Streetz of San Francisco. Haight-Ashbury. Saturday September 3, 2023. San Francisco, CA
The Haight-Ashbury streetz are filled with colorful people, sweet smells, many, many, did I say many? Vintage stores. And a Peaceful, Happy Vibe which gives us a proof positive purely groovy sensation that the the Summer of Love lives lively in 2023
For the last 25 years, when I ask about this area of town, people I know have told things like:
Ahh, Haight-Ashbury isn’t what it was like in the 60’s and 70’s. Yuck, you need to be careful down there, it’s filled with druggies and pickpockets. Or, Watch out, the only thing left of the good old days is Amobea Records, go there, get some tunes, a pen or a sticker and get out. Even a couple weeks before I made my first ever trip to San Fran, I heard: Everything in San Francisco is so bad right now, houses cost a fortune and there’s no one Fun here anymore, all the artists moved away and all I see are drug addicts and clone like techies who know how to stare at their phone but can barely order a Latte utilizing their verbal skills
Enough of the Haters, let’s get back to the Peace, Love and Happiness that myself, my sister and granddaughter all enjoyed on this special Saturday in early September 2023. Prior to the trip, my daughter had all the days planned out, I decided I would slide along with the flow and go and see everything on the plan. I stayed pretty close to doing all the planned itineraries, except for day 2 when they went to some museum, I was just exhausted, needed a bit of sleep, then I headed Down Ventura to Shop. That will be a different post. This is about the “unplanned” Saturday, when she and her boyfriend had not so secret Tattoo plans. LJBOL
My daughter said, me and Debi could take my granddaughter and do whatever. So that’s what we did. My sister took me to an unreal magazine store-Heath Newstand, Saturday wanderers, nice workers including Leandra. And magazines not seen anywhere else. Lots of Art, Fashion, Avant- Garde even random pickle ball and cooking magazines. I nabbed a few good titles including Printing Fashion #3, OFFICE duo issue, TMRW, a Magazine Curated By Francesco Risso and my favorite-032c. And guess what they even do shipping! I didn’t have to drag around 10 pounds of magazines. Oh and check the sale section at the front, some $40+ mags and books are just $5-$10. I lose time in stores like this so I have no idea how long I was there, but I noticed coffee and pastries were ready for a picnic outside the store, so I headed out for the tasty treats from Tartine.
I didn’t go into Tartine, but did see the line to get it, very loooong. I thought the coffee was super good, my ham and cheese croissant was tasty but someone put hot peppers or Jalapenos in it, so I just ate around most of those. Not a spicy guy in general. And I had a celeb sighting: Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive-Ines and Dives pulled up in a giant air-conditioned van like limo car. I was coming out of Heath magazines as he was going in a special VIP entrance to Tartine with his dog! Oh yeah, everyone who lives in San Fran has a dog
Okay, sorry my brain is filled with non stop words tonight. I’ll make it quicker, but before the H-A area of town. After the first mag store, I was lucky to be dropped my off at the second Mag store, see there are no more magazine stores in Hawaii, even the airport has like 6 titles now. And I like magazines. Many an INSPO has come from a S.F magazine store magazine. I just bought 2 mags at the second place-Smoke Signals on Polk St. Make sure you say hi to Fahdy, tell him Streetzblog sent you. After the Mag Store, I bought some water and headed to the park, where my granddaughter was making pizzas with sand and flowers, she offered me one and since, Scott Mckenzie sings-Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair, I ate a flower. She kinda’ freaked out a bit, Debra rolled her eyes and YAH! time for Haight Street. I can not believe we waited until the last day and I cant believe it took this much time to get there in this blog.
Haight-Ashbury
(It’s perfectly ok if you skip ahead to this section, I won’t get sad)
We scored yet another awesome parking spot. 2x on the trip, I asked for the parking Angels to join me and both times, it worked. We got out of the car, walked like maybe a block and we hit the Tie Dye store – Love On Haight Tie Dye Emporium. WOW! My granddaughter picked out her favorite shirt and Debi got my daughter a bag. I took pix and videos and goofed around. And we had our first Jimi Hendrix + Jerry Garcia sightings of the whole trip. There was also a purchase of a flo-orange Kazoo. Maybe..More on that later
Perfect Quote from the Love on Haight website:
We are firm believers in spreading Rainbows, Sparkles, Peace, Love & Kindness. We feel blessed to be the rainbow ambassadors to the Haight-Ashbury
PsySonic, Exotic, Iconic Haight-Ashbury Stop #1
Next up we wandered a bit, then took a break at Gus’s Grocery Store. What an exceptionally perfect place for eating, drinking and people watching. When I first set out to do the H-A piece, I thought it would be just pix of interesting folks. It became way more than that and more. I’d recommend getting some sandwiches at Gus’s some drinks, caffeine, water etc. and sitting outside to enjoy the fashion show that fills this street.
Here’s a quick snapshot of what we saw:
There were Punks and Cyberpunks, Norm-Core and Health-Goth, Anime and Marvel Heroes, Joggers and Dog Walkers
I suspect there were all category of folks. One thing is no matter who they were, they ALL dressed for the Haight-Ashbury experience, all in their own way. Which fits perfectly and is alright by me. Be yourself because there is only one you. You don’t ever want to think of what others may think of your clothes. I always say: Wear what makes you feel comfortable, wear what you like, I don’t care if you are 5 or 85, color your hair, wear and look exactly as you feel best when you awake in the morning.
You could have been born a Cockroach and they don’t get the choice of clothes, hair style or kicks for the day. They look the same everyday. Have fun, dress as you like and enjoy your life!
More pix from the Haight-Ashbury Runway:
Heard on the Steetz:
I overheard someone saying: They were looking for the Painted Ladies, thus I looked for ladies who were painted upon. Alas, I didn’t see any. Later I found out a Painted Lady is a colorful Victorian-style house owned by various movie & music stars and the affluent techies.
I am so glad I was able to go to San Francisco and extra happy to have such a fun day with my sister and grand-daughter. Maybe it’s the people you are with that makes the day. Maybe It’s because of the beautiful sunny weather, maybe it was a Saturday during Labor Day weekend. Maybe Haight-Ashbury is back in it’s re-amagined glory days. A sweet and colorful vibey kinda’ way day. For me, it was all of the above, plus the stars aligned magnificently for a fun filled day of Tie Dye, Magazine & Vintage clothing shopping, people watching, picnic eating, picture and video taking and most of all… Pure Joy in the famous Haight-Ashbury neighborhood.
Kazoo-Ya…maybe no go Kazoo-Ya
So remember the Kazoo was bought when we first arrived, It made it to our picnic and blared in my right ear so bad that my ear HURT! So the super fast black bird took it away. Promise was made that another would be purchased after we went a few more blocks down the street, then back to the Tie Dye store for another Kazoo.
I “Procured one and it went to the park with us. There it was even louder and I am pretty sure it got stolen by someone sitting near by. Check out Debra’s face Pre and Post Kazoo. PERFECT!
Before the Kazooo

The Pau Hana Bag made by me & Stella Aura Clothing as modeled by Debra on the streetz of Haight-Ashbury
Thank You to Debi for being oh so very patient, I’m a rather slow moving object when I’m in my favorite element of people watching, iPhone snapping, sticker giving, and window/real shopping.
And Thank You to Adalyn for being in such great spirits throughout the colorful neighborhood.
I am so glad we sat down to pic-nic. I had my favorite food, Salami butter and bread. Which I haven’t had in years. OMG, I do miss it. And both Debi and I were able to feed and hydrate Adalyn with her favorite food-cooked salmon. And I snuck in an extra Matcha tea for Debi-HeHeHe… (Don’t tell her, but she usually reads the Streetz…blog. I kinda doubt she will get to all of these words). There’s times when blogging is fun and there are times it can be frustrating. Today there were so many words flowing in and through my brain, it was fun just a tad overwhelming! And I find this funny, I know I was on Haight Street, but Ya’ know, I never did see Ashbury nor did I bump into the “only” place to go on the street-Amoeba Records. I bet it was on Ashbury. Hahahaha
Sometimes, haters just be hating, maybe they read some media story or took a wrong turn at night, who knows, the day I was here, the Haight was Pure, Positive, Peace, Love and Happiness from start until stop. When you’re going to San Francisco, Make sure You wear flowers in your hair and look for the Good in people, bring others good vibes, radiate joyously and I sure hope if you visit, you will have a extraordinary day in Haight-Ashbury.
What do you think of Haight-Ashbury? What year did you see it good? Do you have any groovy tips on where to go next time I visit H-A? Will you where flowers in your hair? Let us know below in the comments section. Until, next posting..I’ll See You On The Streetz…blog!
May Peace, Love and Happiness radiate in you and to ALL the people you may meet today and everyday!

- When Nick got called up to help BOB at the Pier Show. Bob told Nick: That’s the hardest I’ve ever seen someone work in skinny jeans. Was extra funny because Nick was called up to be a helper during the Clown Show and all he did was stand there for 30 minutes!
Post-Apocalyptic Balenciaga
Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2023 The Mud Show Paris Fashion Week. Sunday October 2, 2022. #PFW22.
The show took place in the Mud in an imaginary brownish-black planet void of homes, stores and iconic Parisienne motifs in Villepinte, a commune in the suburbs of Paris.
Notables in attendance: Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Christine, Quinn, Anna Wintour, Naomi Cambell, and Alexa Demie. Kanye and his children, North West, Saint West and Chicago West all wearing Balenciaga.
Music: ELEPHANT by BFRND, UFO361 & SONUS030
Really Fun invites: Attendees at the Runway show received wallets as their invitation. Inside the wallets, were coins, credit cards, a gym membership, a picture of a cat, grocery receipts and other oddities you’d find in a wallet along with an ID of a lady named Natalie Antunes. Natalie is an employee of Balenciaga. On twitter, Balenciaga made a post looking for the lost wallets: The post said: Lost wallet. If found, please return it at 11:30am CET on October 2nd. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I wonder if any of the wallets had any extra cash in them?
The start of the show went as viral as you can get within seconds of Kanye storming on to the muddy planet with a black bulky oversized military/high level security jacket, on top a black hoodie, Rubberized black pants, black gloves and some sort of mouth-piece. He was a man on a mission and other than the creepy model in the bondage dress at the finale, Ye totally stole the show and set the tone for Demna’s continuing ownership of best shows in the Biz.
The music rocks and flows as you watch the models traverse the difficult slippery muddy terrain. There’s something for everyone this time around. Extra Baggie pants and hoodies, and tiny puffer jackets, along with the new Balenciaga Tote Bag, bright orange clogs and some really nice paint splattered, distressed XL grey suit jackets. There are some luxurious yet strange arm-bags and some stuffed animals here and there. Yet this show is more of a spectacle than anything. I’d recommend, getting some chips, sipping an ice cold aqua blue beverage and lounging out in your most comfortable chair, turning up the volume and watching the video of the Show.
Once again, Demna takes us to the outer limits, hopefully not the world we will see, but the world that we may see, hopefully our species will elect to stay PRE-apoptilyptic and not the Post version!
Enjoy the show!
Mahalo: to High Snobiety, The Insider, WWD.com, the Guardian, and Vogue.com for some show notes and information.

Great Balls of Style
Rick Owens SS23 Mens EDFU Thursday June 23 2022 Palais De Tokyo Avenue Du President Wilson. Paris, France
This show is more of a spectacle like going to a play, performance art installation or a movie. The clothes are slightly secondary. And Rick has always said he likes to make clothes he would wear. I highly doubt we will see him in anything on this Runway except the large boots and bad ass oversized sunglasses. Would be pretty funny to see him in anything other than black. And Bright Green Glossy pants or flimsy, flowing fish netting, I Kinda’ doubt it. But, just like Rick is looking at darkness in the world today, all I saw was bright colors. Yet, you can skip down to the bottom of the blog for some nice black clothes and kicks! YAH!
Rick continues on looking at a reality through the eyes of doom and gloom. Last show was apocalyptic this one he is irritated about the war and trifling arguments. So, instead of bringing us more low crotch black pants, oversized Nomad shirts, we receive bright Green and purple colors to help heal the world.
The Music is dope, the setting is spectacular, and the crane that drops fire balls is the biggest hit of the entire show. It drops fire bombs 3x just like the models trip the same amount at 3x through the show. It would have been fun to be there in person just to see the fireballs dropping from the crane into the picturesque languid waters.
HIGHLIGHTS
- The Music: “Swooping, Grating, Unhinged Exclusive mix by EPROM and SHADS reflecting the Untethered, Wonky Current Climate” (Show notes)
- The Fireball Crane!
- The exquisite setting
- Kicks: They are hard to spot, but there are some special kicks coming our way in 2023
- Scarab colored jeans
- And YAH for the black colors on some of the clothes
LOWLIGHTS
- The flimsy flowing fish netting in red and green materials. Stuff You’d see in Ben Franklin
- The purple vest
- Bright yellow & bright pink
- And that bizarre red dress in that weird fish netting material. Yuk!
I think I was so freaked out by the bright green and chiffon reds, I missed all these blacks. Ooops, still no drop crotch pants. But Rick Owens fans will be happy to see their/our favorite color in the stores and on-line in 2023.
What are your Highlights and Lowlights of the Show? Let us know in the comments section. See you on the Streetz…blog!
Fendi Fun Bold and Exquisite
Fendi Menswear Spring/Summer 2023. Streamed June 2022 from Roma, Italy
The Men’s show’s are coming at us all of a sudden, fast & furious. And pretty sure this is the first Fendi show we’ve ever reviewed. No reason, this one I just happened to see a on my IG live then re-watched it on YouTube.
Nice to see, there’s no play on post pandemic/post apocalyptic worlds. Instead, we have plenty of Nice festive colors, bold and plentiful logos, 3/4 length shorts that flow oh so perfectly, the color ORANGE, and some fun logo’d bucket hats & pants.
Let’s check out the Highlights and Lowlights:
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Black & Grey logo’d Fendi Bucket Hats and Pants
- The Floating Fendi F’s in the sky below the ceiling-Quite spectacular
- Orange! I’m a sucker for anything Orange and there’s a couple nice pieces in the show
- 70’s Leather Jacket
- 3/4 length perfectly flowing sweetly tailored shorts-One of may all time favorite pants. Just below the knee and kinda’ baggy. I could wear those every day.
- The infrared Liquid Sky beginning, gives the show a Bold, Colorful vibe even before the show started
- The Black and the orange Jacket/shirt. Those are a must cop
- The Music-Adds a nice Pop to the show
LOWLIGHTS:
- Cut off jeans-Ugh will probably cost $800 or more. Just make your own. Pretty easy to make a #realfake on these
- Way too short shorts
- Vinyl brown Pants and the shimmering brownish gold pants
- Khaki’s-I believe khaki’s don’t belong in this world at all. And would never wear them, unless my boss made me
- And maybe a few of the bags-Possibly if I lived in Italy, they would look more stylish
See you on the streetz…of Italy this week! (June 2022)

Pretty large crowd, yet not sold out. Majority are wearing KN95 and N95 masks.
Rushing river blasts from sky onto the floor of the giant stadium. The Floor is now a Huge 3D LED graphic area. Computer generated ice block emerges on to the flat service. Lasers, Techno and brightly colored futuristic graphics now fill my screen. Some very advanced computer graphics that look unbelievably stunning. The Ice melts revealing the 5 rings which float into the indoor heavens. The floor to the stadium becomes a giant stage. Let the games begin!!
Australia, Mexico, South Korea and Russia brought the HEAT to this years games! Those were the best Opening Ceremony unis if you’re into street wear or fashion in general. From Camo to Skulls to Intricate Squiggly lines, they are the clear cut favorites for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games!

It’s Very Peri for 2022
Pantone has declared the color of 2022 as Very Peri. It’s a fusion of purple/violet with a tad of blue
Virgil Abloh’s has been using it In the latest Louis collections. Lady Gaga flaunted the exquisite Very Peri ball gown for one of the House of Gucci premieres. It looks like it’s Ariana Grandes favorite color and even Sarah Jessica Parker is getting into the color sheen
