How to own the lending market. Next level indeed.

the LEAST he could have done was pick out better looking models without thunder-thighs a la 'dolce & gaybanna'.

Compared to the emaciated sticks Hedi often chose, I would consider this an improvement.

Re: The collection, I think a lot of it works pretty well, though Assche needs to stop doing 1000+ variations on a theme and just let things sit (overdone options on sating edging, too many hammer pants). I truly dig the high, floating collars on many of the looks, and the jackets are mostly excellent. Many of the fabrics and flourishes are quite good, though he does need to mix things up more with color. I also liked many of the touches in the S/S mini collection, with the inverted satin lapels and windowpane footwear. Potential does exist here, and I hope that DH drops the lame hoodies & jeans for a more upscale image. IMO, it took a couple of seasons at the start Dior Homme to really gel; a lot of that shit looked plain goofy (shiny magenta psuedo-jumpsuits?, stringy shoulder straps?). Hedi also had the luck of starting from scratch, as Dior menswear prior was nonexistent.

That said, his own line is just awful. I really don't understand that at all.

Weak compared to last season.

I'm stuck between Dries & Jil Sander.

man this is some bullshit. this is a courtroom not Dr. Phil.

Pretty standard for family court, really.

GOURANGA!

im talking tailored suiting and what we, today, call trousers.

Me too... Even black tie changes quite a bit:

..everyone does know that wide-legged trousers are what is actually classic, and

slim legs on menswear did not figure much into mainstream style until late into

the last century?

actually, if you look back, we've been changing from slim to loose since the 1800s.

I do.

Smaller t-shirts?? Don`t listen to these SuFags FIS. Get BIGGER, LONGER tee shirts and BIGGER jeans and SAG. Unless you have a pin head, shits gonna look way better.

Look at Seenmy, he`s a tall skinny mother fucker (6`5 or something) who wears streetwear so well. Especially his older stuff where he was like a refined sneaker head. Right now Seenmy is wearing some loose Samurais sagged. Looks good.

I`m a tall skinny motherfucker too (6`2 and 165) and I love it coz I`m healthy coz I`m naturally like that, I fit into a lot of clothes that bigger dudes my height don`t.

Choose style, don`t choose SuFu trend of the minute.

isn't this banworthy now?

More pics of the chick in the last picture!

lulz of the century

Has some potential, I want to see full shots. I also liked a good amount of s/s, so this might work out after all...

lol you're not allowed to have an opinion on fashion now that you're married.

go buy your dad polar fleece at target already, god.

cold as ice. shiiit

The lasts are just too blobby, moreso than Alden. The rest are designer Sketchers.

Raf is going more prada by the collection, eh? Some of the outerwear is neat, but nothing as outstanding as F/W 05/06. The shoes are terrible, some remind me of Kenneth Cole meets Helmut Lang's beak toe, others just look simply ugly.

Jil Sander was much better.

me and my best friend (at the time) brought in meat. we dipped meat in chocolate. and i am going to be honest here, it tasted just fine...leaning more toward excellent.

I have a recipe for cocoa rub for steak somewhere, I'll have to try that sometime.

^^ Yikes, and seven minutes long, too.

do it yourself.

cup

rubbing alochol

matches

rub alcohol on area put cup over area and leave it open just a little bit. light the match and place over alcohol. let the flame burn up the air for a few seconds so this will create a suction effect and then close down the cup.

eventually the alochol will burn thru and oxygen getting more suction.

gotta do this shit right or it'll burn you

Hmm, what to do, what to do...

I just got married, so...

-1 times a month.

Actual answer: once or so a month.

The label is starting to come into its own; I was worried it was going to be a Raf-lite.

I dig the shoulder detail on the last jacket in the first post. That pocket square a few images above is just horrible, though.

Hullo Mr Raf Owens

it looks more like a bottle of balsamic vinegar. ><

Yep, looks like Kirkland basalmic vinegar. Not the best, but good for cooking anyway...

And yeah, you really do end up needing that many spatulas. The lack of stainless steel is a bit odd, though.

Oh, and btw, I busted my Carpe boots already. So now i've got to get them re-nailed.

Er, wow. Do nails fall out of many Carpe boots? Weak.

Nice Ann vest.
