also, murakami for louis vuitton, aka the rainbow explosion of tacky monogram. (is tacky monogram redundant?)

juicy couture. why, WHY? it's just not cute.

uggs with miniskirts. if its too cold to wear normal shoes, its not warm enough for a damn miniskirt. it's one or the other.

i think i might do it up in drag and be a hasidic jew

totally p.c.

i think makoxboi is trying to gather some subversive marketing info

depending on where you live, id recommend making friends with a local fashion student and having them take in the seams for you at super cheap prices. im lucky to have one as a roommate!

...duh!

i kid. american spirits all the way. but, i did think the selection of cartier/yves saint laurent cigarettes was hilarious when i was in s.e. asia.

Nevermind, what the hell am I thinking... 6 Vintage stores (2 of which are in Brooklyn) in one day? I would feel rushed planning that many stores (each of which have very large selections.

I am going to stick to the 4 Vintage stores in Manhatten (S&D, Screaming Mimi's, and the two unnamed but highly recomended ones). If I have extra time I might stop by APC and Marc Jacobs (to take a look at their gigantic fut hats) since they are right next store to each other and not that far from Screaming Mimi's.

Comments on my planned shopping trip?

i'm studying design, and as far as US schools go, it would be pretty pointless to study in any other city besides NY because the industries arent as present there. internships and job experience are as important in your education as classes are.

i saw them for 300ish at jeffrey in nyc... i thought they were extreeeeeemely boring. they dont even make the logo look decent on the back pocket, so even people who are paying for a name are paying for a WEAK representation of it. ha!

26??

geez. all the guys here are so skinny. do you all spend so much on jeans that you dont have enough left for food??

apc.fr

you are actually right haha

also, that line is called "FREE CITY"

in the US, i'm almost positive ron herman and scoop in nyc are the only retailers. i'm with the dude above who says to give them a call and do a charge/send.

lol ohhhhhhhh ok. yes. then you are talking about a very small population.

you really think most guys care that much about what they wear? i definitely dont.
