The VOU Official
About this episode

In today's podcast we take a look at the humorous and highly stylised "Fuck Yeah Menswear - Bespoke Knowledge for the Crispy Gentleman" by Kevin Burrows and Lawrence Schlossman. The text blends a satirical staff roster with irreverent commentary on menswear styles (Sprezzatura, Heritage, Preppy, Bohemian, Sloane Ranger, Ametora, Goth Ninja, etc.), defining archetypes with exaggerated strengths and weaknesses. The core message is a tongue-in-cheek guide to navigating the world of men's fashion, emphasising self-discovery and rejecting conformity rather than offering prescriptive advice. The book uses a deliberately outrageous tone and stream-of-consciousness narrative to mock menswear trends and celebrate individuality within a subculture obsessed with "looking mad crispy."
