Our Strange Obsession with Joe Exotic and how to get the TIGER KING Look (Copy)

If you haven’t seen Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, you definitely have to add it in your quarantine Netflix agenda; and believe me you will finish it by this weekend. ( 7 episodes documentary - limited series)

The true-crime docuseries plays a serious logic game with you as it unveils all the crazy adventures of Joe Exotic and his antagonists ( Including mysterious murders, drugs, illegal animal sales and more). Watching it you might have a small cultural shock (at the beggining at least) but while watching the episodes it becomes addictive and you finally become strangely obsessed with the characters and their personal style.

Our favourite style persona is definetely The Tiger King - Joe Exotic. Mr Joe delivers a very unique kitch style which becames ‘‘cult’’ and trendy in its own way.

Vogue’s editors note: ….Filled with animal prints (natch), sequins, and tie-dye, his look is cowboy drag filtered through a lens of bad taste and shrooms. The result is horrible, hypnotic, and shockingly on-trend!

Well, I have to warn you though… living our most difficult period at home and watching ‘Docuseries’ TIGER KING can be a dangerous combination… Don’t be surprised if we come out of this lockdown with mullets, DIY piercings, and home tattoos.

If you finally fall in love with his crazy and ‘in-style’ look check out your wardrobes and I am sure you will find some statement pieces to create your summer look.

Otherwise get inspired from our TIGER KING list below:

Richard Biedul x King & Tuckfield AW18 collaboration collection

King & Tuckfield is a new menswear contemporary brand, founded by Stacey Wood just 3 years ago. Its signature aesthetic fuses a distinctly British 1950’s feel, with sharp contemporary styling inspired by the colourful stories of Stacey's family history.

The design team is passionate  with quality and sustainable materials, and their inspiration comes from the British fashion heritage and culture.  They always love to mix everything that looks vintage with something that looks modern creating the new classic. 

Model, Art and Style director, Richard Biedul  joined that team to create his first 5 pieces-capsule collection and with these AW18 pieces makes his debut in the design world. 

The collection consists of pieces which everyone needs all the time and every piece seems to be ideal for your wardrobe. Richard mentioned "We've created almost an off-duty uniform… it is about comfort, it's about function and formality" 

And it's actually true. Everything can go from casual to formal depends on the way you style them on you. Modern, elegant pieces that will always be in fashion. 

During this collaboration Richard has discovered a new found love for quality denim and has merged this new passion on his designs too. Focusing also on 100% fine merino wool in a bold spectrum of Navy, Fiesta Red and Clover Green, the collection is inspired with vintage references and a 1950's notion. 

 . Richard Biedul x King & Tuckfield AW18 capsule collection translates back to the main SS19 collection which we had the opportunity to see during London Fashion Week and we have to admit that we fell in love with...

The AW18 collection is now available on kingandtuckfield.com
