Mr. Saturday Hosts His Paris Sophomore Mens Fashion Week Runway

DJing, nightlife and fashion have a unique connection to pop culture and encourage intrinsic collaboration. As a DJ and founder Mr Saturday clothing line, Joey Gollish know it can be a monotonous job, but nightlife is all about dressing up and being [freest] own version. The historical significance of nightlife as a safe haven for marginalized communities has allowed many people to express their love of music and its role in fostering creativity and culture.

The evolution of DJs and the mix of different musical genres explains how Mr. Saturday channels the idea of ​​feeling free and expressing yourself through fashion. A discussion of fashion about breaking social rules and bending fashion norms, Mr. Saturday represents an opportunity to be true to yourself – especially on the weekends.

“I’ve been DJing since before I made clothes,” notes Gollish. “I think, for me, it was just a big learning moment – if I want to work from 3am to 5am four nights a week. I like to play when I get the chance, as he did recently.”

Gollish reminisced about his recent experience during a premiere in Cannes, So The idol premiered at Cannes, and Abel [The Weeknd] and the team invited me to the official HBO DJ after party. I got to play Justice, which is really cool. [There were] DJ is there from midnight to 5:00am. That’s cool because people are open to hearing things differently [music].

The moment has sentiment with creative director Mr. Saturday which stated, But nightlife for me at that point was always just about getting dressed and being a freer, all-seeing version of yourself. Whether DJing, designing or working on any project, it’s about the freedom that nightlife gives.

Working through the lens of the words of his friend James, who advised, “don’t tell me how it feels, make me feel it,” Gollish has thrived in DJing and has found his ethos with fashion. Aiming to create an emotional response rather than stating a message explicitly, Mr. Saturday creates emotional content in a saturated media landscape. The full look of the line evokes a certain feeling and experience like its short and sheer shirt sets, and similar sets featuring an enlarged checkered pattern, or rather, a dance floor as seen at a previous Paris runway show by Mr. Staurday for Spring/Summer 23.

Creating a safe haven for people ultimately brought the community into mainstream culture, says Gollish. Sometimes it takes 50 years, but that’s where it starts – the ongoing battle. But for me, I think nightlife is very important. This has always been our perspective, he identified.

His first foray into DJing started with House music and would move on to Hip Hop and a wider audience. 2010s. That’s the culmination of many things, notes Gollish. I really liked house music back then. As nightclubs in Toronto transitioned to playing only hip hop, it was a little more challenging because house music always felt a bit more multi-format.

Looking forward to his future, Gollish and Mr. So we did our second runway presentation live, following up on last summer, which was really exciting. This season still focuses on nightlife as usual, but takes it to the original format of nightlife, Louis XIV, King of France, and the origins of what we know as modern ballet. Such was the nightlife back then.

It’s really interesting to look at – a lot of decadence and extravagance that I think has a lot of applications today. And luckily, we worked with principal dancers of the Canadian National Ballet to help create the ballerinas and to help choreograph the shows.

Gollish dives into the details of Mr. Saturday, a little more customizing, blends in with the signature silhouette that goes from day to night really well. Every season, as we grow, the brand is still growing. I feel very fortunate that as a designer who is still making his voice in the industry, people are interested in witnessing that evolution.

Gollish orchestration from Mr. Saturday, recently landed him in a new residency as creative director for a Canadian heritage brand Root. Roots is an established brand with nearly 50 years of history, and this is the first time the brand has brought in outside advertising materials to contribute to its image. Between DJing and seeing the launch of his collection, Gollish works for moments of anticipation and celebration.

He concluded, I only started doing this five years ago. And to be able to create a life where I do all the things I love to do and love doing work at the same time. I find the moments when DJing or a moment at a runway show can be more difficult to attend to than the moments leading up to and immediately following it.
