Despite his indulgence in the flamboyant he prefers a woman to be made up naturally with, perhaps, a strong lip colour. "There should only be two main colours on the face, but I admit I am partial to the blue eye shadow Gucci has been showing," he said. His ideal female body type tends to run into contradictions, citing on one hand Naomi Campbell as a favourite because she looks worked out, and Bernie Chan, who is all elbows and lithe long limbs. "Models should be natural looking and should not overshadow the clothes; after all they are very stylish clothes hangers," he added matter-of-factly. Aloysius also designs for men, and that line is called Bold. This look reminded me very much of Jean-Paul Gaultier in its bending of gender boundaries. I would have to say Bold is Robert Mapplethorpe models in Gaultier. Tight zippered T-Shirts, black tight tops with mesh cut-outs, little Gatsby, rakish berets and waistcoats, all making a statement and requiring a lot of male guts to carry off. Men have to have a pretty buff body to wear the Bold line and be pretty self-confident as well. For those man enough to wear Bold, we at Journal One applaud their courage, and their good taste. Of course, the men at Journal One wear Aloysius Wong ALL the time. "No, really, we do." Yeah, right, in their manly dreams.
