The Aitor Throup stuff i've handled is unbelievable. Feels as if you really could survive the apocalypse whilst wearing it. The patterning is done to perfection - there's literally no seam allowances, it's sewn edge-to-edge. The bonded rubber material he has developed is unlike anything i've handled...

Tim Coppens was kind of boring. So many designers seem to rely on zips and colourblocking in lieu of any actual design. Perhaps i'm just being cynical though. I quite like the shoes. Thom Browne is amazing and terrifying and beautiful. Probably deserves its own thread. Robert Geller i disliked but i...

i have! it's fucking awesome. The highest concept shopping; it feels like you're walking thru the corridors of a spaceship or something, and the clothes are high-tech clothes for aliens from a escape pod found drifting thru space, but then in the next room you're in an abandoned warehouse and the cl...

yeah same, and the black/navy one further down


with the ma-1 and the leather bomber and the hats he has limply pandered to trends i think. and the baggier trousers and the hidden placket shirts. ticking boxes. he can do better than that

well, the prints, for one. and those mockneck tops say "wetsuit" to me; the shorts are basically boardshorts in terms of fit; that jacket in the third look is something straight out of, i dunno, a Ralph Lauren yachting photoshoot; there's a couple of fleeces in there with the anorak-style ...

why'd you edit out the womens?

thanks for taking the iniative It's not a hugely compelling collection, but there's a lot i like here, probably because i grew up near the sea. The logo/numerals print seems like a grab at HBA/kenzo territory, which is a little weird. Wish i could read whatever's written on those smaller tags. i'm i...

best show from ny i've looked at yet (which doesn't really mean anything) http://25.media.tumblr.com/4def5fd4a7a0c88d18062e82f198aba3/tumblr_msvawiMnw71qzx0njo1_500.jpg http://25.media.tumblr.com/b9e5bd5e558b779091162dd51324a8f1/tumblr_msutrxtxkz1sca7p0o1_500.jpg

Acne is such a weird brand, i find them hard to pin down

Does a car have avant garde pockets though bela?

http://nepenthesny.com/EGxVans001.jpg We are excited to announce a special project that we have been working on over the last few months. Along with a Pop-Up Shop celebrating their 10 year anniversary, we have worked with Vault by Vans and put together a capsule collection of classic Vans footwear ...

as far as i know all aitor stuff is made by him and his team in his studio in london, ccp style. doubt it could be done by immigrant workers in italy or wherever, considering that the techniques and materials used are the result of the best part of a decade of research. do cyberpunks still listen to...

they remind me of these http://www.yoox.com/uk/44539542GH/item? ... GH&sizeId=

haven't seen any of those

last film i saw was Rear Window (simply masterful), and before that Jiro Dreams of Sushi (good but maybe a few too many preparation montages set to stirring music, and it only very briefly touched on overfishing etc)

what in yahweh's bronzed fangs

"A.P.C. RUE MADAME PARIS"
proper PSs would say "PETIT STANDARD" right?

i have to cuff, otherwise they don't break; exaggeratedly short through cuffing looks better than slightly too short imo

i'm beginning to develop an irrational dislike of how seemingly every collar/pocket flap/etc on an SEH piece is rounded, exaggeratedly so. there's a fine line between branding-through-design making clothes for cartoon characters imo

picture's upthread, keep up syek

9/10 i'd opt for wool over cotton but i think those trousers are the ten per cent

e: my bad the pic's in desire is suffering

schiaparelli might i direct you to the "what are you reading today" thread, where you could perhaps grace us with short reviews of the books you have read and are reading viewtopic.php?f=3&t=69

Here at care-tags we embrace learning at every level. This thread is an environment for discussing capital eff Fashion in what, elsewhere, would be considered a very pretentious manner. Hopefully we shall be able to keep up with Messrs odradek and smiles , and with any luck the very erudite Rosenrot...

yeah pretty much
he quit not long after prada bought the company, quit fashion forever, shredded most of his archive (several thousand pieces) and is now a fairly successful artist i think, beheading eagles and whatnot

my favourite thing aboutvthe Roman Opalka canvasses is how with each new canvas he would lighten the background a shade, so that over time the contrast between the numbers and the background would decrease, as if they were slowly fading away. a really beautiful measure of time and life and mortality...
