oh my god dude. i love this brand even more now.

lining up for +J right now.

i came in this thread just for joses lips

you came where? :confused:

i dont see it. had you fapped already?

you can see deez whenever you want, girl.

there any pictures of me where i dont look like a fucking retard?

to onemancult , my quote feature isnt working .

My concern is that Ervell's career may be cut short prematurely , Im assuming its difficult to survive and make a living when your clothes dont sell.His aesthetic just happens to be something im attracted to and so I seek out his garments.''We dropped Ervell'' pretty much sums up most fw09 queries from his ''stockist'' list.

Just bums me out when someone this talented isnt appreciated while someone like Odyn Vovk makes pathetic collections and is unavoidable on online webstores.

ive heard conflicting reports about how well ervell does internationally, but yeah, i could see ervell's career as a designer for an eponymous line being cut short. however, i do see him having a long career as a designer, and i'd actually really love to see him take the helm somewhere.

it is definitely a shame that he doesnt do better commercially... cant really say for sure what the next few seasons will be like, but i do know that a few stores are really excited about this ss10 collection.

am i the only one who is kind of really into the reissues of the old aramis fragrances? have to drop by neiman marcus to verify if theyre as good as they were.

ervell's work with fabrics and materials is reminiscent of lang, but the spirit of it feels a little different. the visual references he uses are much narrower and his tone is lighter; lang came from a wider spectrum of starting points, with a conscious intellectual bent. perhaps this specificity is simultaneously ervell's strength and weakness...

all that said and done, i like this

the chasm between ervell's references and tone and lang's are a given, of course.

however, i think the spirit is quite similar [thus the point i was making].

that approach to working with fabrics and materials within a particular framework, and the goal of marrying conceptual/difficult ideas to highly-wearable and "classic" garments, to me, aligns ervell with a designer

like lang. i think that ervell is just as cerebral as lang, his aesthetic tastes

just happen to veer towards lighter moods.

the specificity is definitely a strength and weakness, but i thoroughly feel that, much like lang, full appreciation of ervell's work won't actually come to pass on a larger scale for years.

they're a clarks collab, rusted staple print wallys.

P.S.

You answered it yourself. Admittedly I'm not a sport/big drinker, but I can hang with the best of them for sure. I don't drink to get stupid drunk, I like the buzz I get from drinking, but there is a certain "High" I want from drinking and I don't go over it if I don't have to. Vodka is nasty. Scotch is nasty (haven't had the best or johnny walker yet, but I'm sure I won''t be thrilled). Tequila is nasty (even the best shit, hate agave). Rum is tolerable but overall, forgettable. etc.. But I will drink them if there is nothing else to drink/do.

I like henny/cognac for all those reasons you mentioned. Plus you can't get a hangover from it. CAN'T. Plus it's the most excellent accompaniment to weed.

Edit: Also it doens't make me sloppy drunk like all the other stuff. It's clean. Way better for clubbing/ talking to females. I ain't gonna lie and say I don't feel like a got a little more swagger if I'm drinking something expensive

Polishmike already obliterated you on this subject, but seriously... you called vodka, scotch, and tequila nasty. And rum tolerable. This isn't even a "getting wasted" issue, its a "do you have tastebuds" issue. You sound like the kind of kid that didnt want his corn touching his mashed potatoes growing up.

Also, the whole hangover thing... any alcohol with sugars in it is more prone to causing a hangover. That's just science. But, you said you dont drink a ton of cognac... not drinking a ton of any other spirit won't give you a hangover either. Guarantee if you drank an entire bottle of cognac, particularly a less refined bottle, that you'd be praying for death the next morning.

Cognac definitely isnt something you drink to get drunk, or to get buzzed even. Its funny to me how you talk about it being classy and yet youre drinking this stuff in the unclassiest way possible.

A snifter of any of Delamain's offerings is fantastic right after a meal or as a nightcap;and Paul Giraud's single-barrel Tres Rare is a revelation in a bottle that should be sipped only if you have a study or office and its 3am and you cant sleep because you found out your wife has been cheating on you and laying next to the cunt makes you retch.

laing is way different in terms of the overarching aesthetic, mood, and proportions. laing is also ten times more interesting. what a fucking snoozefest rad hourani is. on men AND on women. someone make this all disappear please.

ervell is easily my favorite designer working today, particularly when i take into account how well his clothes fit me right off the rack and how well they fit into my perspective on how i dress.

that line about being conceptual without sacrificing wearability hits the nail on the head, and frankly, that presents a double-edged sword for the american market, in my opinion. retailers here have no idea how to sell something that hits both of those points; they can push something classic and wearable like crazy, and they can whip up a frenzy for conceptual pieces that fall outside the box, but have no idea how to sell a line like this, especially at ervell's price point which i'll admit i struggle to accept.

its a shame, and it shows how short-sighted the industry is... ervell is basically doing what helmut lang did in the 90s and it seems like the only people paying attention are the people who get it.

another impeccable collection from a severely underrated designer.

there is nothing damir doma-ish in this collection. no need to even discuss that.

there are obvious nods to lanvin in the use of jewel tones and in the lighter fabrics; and one specific accessory. i'll leave that up to people who actually know their shit to assess.

there is a strong sense of romanticism here, and that may be what is causing people to think of ann d, but you're hilariously short-sighted if your only frame of reference is ann d here. geller's collection is spades more masculine than lanvin and ann d both, and that is where this shines.

that being said, the jewel-toned clothes are the knockouts here, the perfect baby step forward for geller after the huge leap his 2nd collection represented. what we have here is a refinement of his aesthetic, something that we've seen since the beginning and i'm sure we'll continue to see.

there is nothing tacky about the blues in person, bear flash photography in mind.

Hustletown Latin lothario falls into a classic Brooks Brothers catalog and emerges with a taste for the finer things, yet can't escape his lifestyle choices and has to balance the steez with the sleaze; does so effortlessly and with an aplomb heretofor never understood.

Missed my chance with the South African chick

we messed around plenty, but she's immature and her attention span is that of a 5 year old.

Not to surprised, but I'm not to bummed either. Especially considering the ratio at New School is 80% women, 20% men, and 2/3rds of the men are gay, so I'm in a benign minority.

my turn. :D:D:D:D

some girl in russia supposedly "found" a dead dog and performed an autopsy for an anatomy class or something

i was looking for the news story but i cant find it for some reason
