Another of Lammastide's stupid white swim trunks threads OK... so, I managed to find a pair of nearly all-white trunks. They're cool, but not exactly what I wanted: They've got red contrast stitching (Benetton  ) and my wife says I would still look respectable -- but yummier -- in one size down. 
But they're sold out. In the meantime, John Galliano has these as part of his latest "Gazette" collection: 
They totally smash my "all-white" rule, and for contour sake, I'd prefer only one or no back pockets.  But I'd rock these.
I can't get past one thing, though: What's up with that big @#$! picture of Galliano... naked... in a top hat?  These bad boys aren't cheap... and it'd be nice to wear them somewhere other than a Tom of Finland beach party. 
I know some artsy fartsy designer types. I might look into having something along this line custom made. Anyone know if it's insanely tough and expensive to have an oddball fabric like this tracked down and ordered? Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I literally laughed out loud when I saw them. Where in the U.S. could I get away with these outside of Provincetown and Fire Island? Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I'd like them if they were a bit longer. There's nothing wrong with my legs but I just can't bring myself to wear mid-thigh length shorts. If I were in my 20's and buff maybe.  | |

There's nothing wrong with my legs but I just can't bring myself to wear mid-thigh length shorts. If I were in my 20's and buff maybe. Here's the board short version: 
I'm shorter and skinnyish. (Although I've got awesome legs! ). If I wear long shorts, I think I look like a toddler playing dress up in his dad's clothes. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I'm guessing that the fabric was designed specifically for Galliano, and they don't sell it to unauthorized designers. Otherwise you'd have a bunch of Project Runway wannabes designing shit with Galliano's name plastered all over it and then how could you tell the real from the fake? I think it would be very difficult to find it and make your own "Galliano". You could maybe try to find a newsprint fabric, but I think that is going to look like a cheap knock-off (which it would be). The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Those remind me of something from the Internatinal Male catalogue. | |

I think it would be very difficult to find it and make your own "Galliano". You could maybe try to find a newsprint fabric, but I think that is going to look like a cheap knock-off (which it would be). And, see, that's the complication: If I got these made, I wouldn't want people to see them and think "Galliano." I'm rather actively not a fan of his fashion house.  I just really dig the newsprint idea... which has been done by others, just not this season. But, yeah, the whole possible assumption I'd be attempting to do a "near-Galliano" does offend the snob in me.
As for the fabric, yes, it'd be a challenge, but not impossible to find. I've seen newsprint fabric out there. Finding a newsprint fabric suitable for swimwear, however, would be tougher, I suppose. Problems. Problems.  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

And the front gusset and cargo pocket look like WTH!?! [Edited 8/11/09 20:47pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Geez, I hope that wouldn't be the general reaction. I'm not ready to grow out the Fabio hair! Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
