Photos published over the weekend, and taken in New York, show for the first time the current look of the mythical comic character Harley Quinn, into whose crazy shoes Lady Gaga entered.
The movie "Joker: Madness for Two", in which it appears that the iconic singer and actress will star alongside actor Joaquin Phoenix (official confirmation of her participation has not yet been released), although it is expected to be released only in a year and a half, but the kicking version that Gaga presents, while walking up the steps of the city hall With hundreds of extras around her calling for the release of the Joker from prison, she already had enough to excite the social networks to the maximum.

The new Gaga version of the look, which was created by costume designer Ariane Phillips, includes;
A tight crimson jacket with muslin sleeves underneath is revealed in all its glory, a black and white diamond top with a peplum ending, a leather mini skirt worn over black tights with a diamond diamond pattern and transparencies, minus the two bun hairstyle that became identified with the original Harley Quinn and stood out in the previous versions of the character.
Instead, Gaga's hair was pulled back in the wet, dirty and sloppy look, including striking dark roots, and clownish eye makeup.

What is it about that poetic melancholic aesthetic, whose origins are rooted in the Commedia dell'Arte from the 16th century, that has so preoccupied the fashion world over the past decades?
The answer probably lies in the huge contrasts it presents to us, while it ranges between the creepy and creepy to a colorful and flirtatious style, between the humor and the dark.
The clown's dress code has distinct elements, such as muslin sleeves, oversized collars made of pleats in the style of Piero, print or quilt made up of diagonals perpendicular to each other, whether in black and white or colorful, and of course pale makeup and a sad or sullen facial expression.
While there are designers who choose to present dramatic interpretations with bursting colors that are not implied in two faces, i.e. distinctly clownish signs, others choose to be content with implicit inspiration and simplify the trend, thereby actually making it accessible.

During Haute Couture Week in Paris, even the runway of the Armani fashion house was painted in a pastel, rhombus pattern, on which 77 locks were wound on the purity of the "harlequin", inspired by the British comedy theater genre from the 17th century.
In the same couture collection for spring 2023, Giorgio Armani presented a glamorous and elegant fantasy that was characterized by complex patchwork that created the same wonderful diamond shapes that starred on skirts, suits and beautiful ball gowns that sparkled in the distance, and some were even decorated with ruffled collars.

In the Pre-Fall 2023 collection presented by Christopher John Rogers, the designer, who is associated with the colors and stripes of the rainbow, took inspiration from the worlds of the circus, although he simplified it, and presented on the runway more chic clowns than ever - from a model with a red ball nose, lined eyebrows and a bustier dress with caps pointed, to towering silk hats, flowers instead of the typical pom-poms, and a dress with a narrow maxi skirt that is crazy with diamonds and sequins in many colors.

The epic mokion genre did not pass over our provinces either.
At the Kornit FAC Tel Aviv fashion week, which was signed last week, Aharon Ganish unveiled an exciting and fascinating collection, in which the (former religious) designer made use of clothing items and symbols from the Hasidic world, while blurring the boundaries of gender and creating spectacular clothing sets with a unique and up-to-date interpretation.

An oversized coat made of meticulous velvet and wool patchwork teamed with matching pants, a voluminous shirt that boasted puffy sleeves and a layered collar, and similarly a black dress in hide-and-seek games.
The dress that marked the show, worn by the model and TV personality Galit Gutman, stood out in particular, which was created by Ganish as an interpretation of Kittel, but which also echoed the same mesmerizing clown aesthetic.

Even the queen mother Beyoncé, who teamed up with Olivier Rousteing, the creative director of the Balmain fashion house, in the design of a haute couture collection that breathes visual life into 16 songs from her "Renaissance" album, flaunts the mookian style in a black and white ensemble inspired by the hit "PURE/HONEY" - a sexy overall Made of fabric saturated with sequins, partly arranged in a diamond pattern but with a somewhat psychedelic twist, a raised turban-like hat, a hot corset belt for conditioning and furry sleeves.
