  1. hey folks

    Will be in NY from 5-10 July. Want to check out Misshapes but have heard mixed reports. Is it overrated? Will it be half as good as London's Boombox? Is there some terrifying door policy that won't let me in?

    And if it's over, any recommendations on cool indie/electro nights to check out in Manhattan or Brooklyn?

    Going to see Cat Power at MCcarren Park Pool but would like other recommendations on happenings/galleries etc

    bisous

  2. Yo soopertalkers!

    I swear I did do a search and couldn't find a topic related to this. Have quite a lot of annual leave to use up and am desperate to go to NY before August when my new contract starts. Which month do you reckon is best time to go for sample/good sales in NY? May, June or July? I remember reading about Opening Ceremony and Patrik Ervell sales that I would have LOVED to gone to. Out of those 3 months, when is there the most stuff happening (gigs, clubs, art happenings) slammin' in New York?

    Hope to hear from you soon

  3. Hi soopertalkers

    I'm gonna visit NY in spring and pay pilgrimmage to my favourite store, Cloak which I know is shuttering after this season (I interviewed Alexandre Plokhov for a piece on it! - check it at www.dazeddigital.com) So imagine my shock when I tried to go to the website and got a blank page with words "default site" on it. Is the flagship store on 10 Greene St still open? Please tell me it is so! Does anyone know how long it will be open?

  4. I think Marmalade is so gimmicky.

    My bibles are

    i-D

    Crash - beautiful French mag

    10 Men (like its conversational informal style but bit too full of scandalous gay gossip)

    Fantastic Man (unique and truly fantastic, gorgeous layout)

    Another Man

    still buy Arena Homme Plus but bit too poncey for me now

    Acne Paper is beautiful with its large format and interesting articles

    and of course Dazed and Confused, whom I've been lucky to write for!

    that's already waaayy too much time to spend reading fashion mags!

    A friend in the fashion industry recommended Commons & Sense mag which looked good but it was in Japanese - do others rate it?

  5. The WJK one is cool! What does WJK stand for? (or is that the full name?) How much is it going for? Do they sell it in London?

    Oh and could someone post a pic of the Cloak trench that is supposedly so tops?

    p.s. girls in trenches are sexy - yes!

  6. Hiya folks

    Am in the market for a trenchcoat for winter and wondered what the best ones out there at the moment. I LOVE this McQ trenchcoat though last I checked it wasn't in shops in London yet:(

    I would also include a pic of the black hooded black Balenciaga trenchcoat (www.balenciaga.com) cos I'm obsessed with it but err can't. Anyone have any idea how much that one would cost? Are they selling it in London?

    I am seriously obsessed with these Cloak boots. Unfortunately Harvey Nicks who are the only stockists of Cloak in London aren't getting the footwear in -aargh! Could any like-minded Cloak fanatics please check out how much they are retailing for in New York/LA and if any in my size (US 9 though I hear the sizing is a bit wierd for Cloak) Let's see if we can organise some kind of transaction! MAKE IT WORK! x

  8. Hiya - have seen some press on Patrik Ervell and am very intrigued. Apart from being handsome himself, he has a very unique aesthetic and the clothes look cool as seen on the catwalk. Does anyone own anything by him? what is it like? Is it only sold at Opening Ceremony? I write for a style mag and on lookout for hot new menswear designers with not much press. Anyone else to recommend?

  9. Harvey Nicks is good - they're the only stockists of Cloak and Thom Browne in London! You must add B Store to yr list. Their new store on Savile Row is amazing and stocks very young up and coming designers (some straight outta Central Saint Martins!) They have Peter Jensen, Siv Stoldal and loads more. Also Matthew Murphy the buyer is the nicest man in fashion officially. He's also curating a concession in Topman - very cool

  10. I know I posted this topic before but it was more oriented to finding out what hotel to stay in. (Consensus - Hotel 101) What did other Supertalk-ers do IN NATURE? Are the fjords/ whale watching worth it or a tourist trap? Cool restos? Anyone know of any cool happenings (gallery/ gig) around end of August? Am a writer for Dazed and Confused and would love to cover it for the mag!

  11. The McQ menswear looks lovely (hmm love the blue and black checked coat-gorgeous!) if expensive for a 'diffusion line' but where are they stocking it in London? Went to the McQueen store and they said only Selfridges is stocking McQ and from what I can see on the Selfridges website, they are only having the womenswear. Surely not! Please help!

    I'm in love with these boots from Cloak's F/W 06. Are they in stores in NY yet and how much are they going for? Wonder if Harvey Nichols here in London will stock 'em?

  13. Hiya folks

    Have developed a new and unreasonable obsession with getting a Goyard wallet to replace my stolen Burberry one. Do they sell 'em here in the UK? Any online places which are selling them? How much are they going for?

  14. I know this has been covered before but going to Rejkjavik end of August and wanted to know best places to stay. Would love to stay at Hotel 101 but going with a friend (NOT a partner) and apparently only single king/queen bed. But NYT says there is something called a "rolling cot" for a friend to sleep in also. can anyone shed light on this???

    Also any other cool, interesting well priced hotel recommendations much appreciated.

    Any cool, intriguing unique events happening in Rejkjavik at that time. Am a journalist for Dazed and Confused mag and would love to do something on the city!

    thanks a lot

  15. Hiya

    Living in London so only have a limited access to the wonders of Cloak (thru Harvey Nicks), even though I love everything Alexandre Plokhov does! Could anyone in America tell me if these boots are currently being sold in Cloak stores in US and how much they cost? Or are they for the next season? Anyone know where they might sell them online?
