evisu 2000

nudies, evisu, prps.

someone once referred to apc as the jcrew of france, but i've never had/tried anything that was apc or jcrew.

yeah. i use .ca so i won't accidentally bid on something that won't be shipped to canada.

i am really trying to resist getting a pair of dior homme jeans... but the thing is i am really obsessed with the back pocket stitch/design.

hey bill, do you have any photos post-wash?

bob james - one

Yea, i agree with you on the pleasure principle gear, i'm not sure what direction they are trying to go in, i'm not sure they even know. The mens ready to where from IOC (Imitation of Christ) seems to have followed the same pattern for the last 2 seasons, with that scratch detailing across the t-shirts and hoodies...there doesn't seem to be a great deal of substance behind what Tara & matt are doing there. Will be interesting to see how it develops.

I agree with you on Raf with Jill, however his diffusion line will provide the security of being able to really go wild with his mainline. I think we saw that with his latest fall 06/07 collection showed in Paris late january. Was probably his best collection to date...

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by his political stance? are you referring to his youth cultural references?

Yeah, I was referring to his youth cultural references. I find them really distracting, which is a shame given that he is one of the better deconstructionists of his time, (comparable even to Margiela, imo.) The whole revolutionary protester theme of F/W 2001 (2002?), for example, I found really a little contrived.

Now, wouldn't it be cool if Prada could persude Margiela to do a Jil Sander collection?

those helmut langs look perfect.

i've been trying to find 2 identical pairs of those for a long time. ):

i'm also a big fan of the zorki

the electro

that's because style should be understated and not obvious. most people confuse style with image.

rangefinders are fucking dope. yashica makes the best ones too.

the electro is my favorite.

just go to the thrift store and buy what you think looks nice.

not very far if people keep trying to 'break necks'.

'2001 or stfu?'

:teeth:

as sagmeister would say, style=fart.

polo purple label

polo ralph lauren

polo classic

polo jeans

polo sport

polo golf

in my (negligible) opinion... jewelry is very tacky unless you're a 'procurer of prostitutes' so to speak or it's a wedding ring.

and dude... the exposure of chest... heh!

while i figure out what to make of myself i freelance design & 3d but most of my money actually comes from the sportsbooks.

serge gainsbourg smoked gitanes... i'm pretty sure that's part of the reason he got so many girls.

does anyone know if a straight leg/cut RRL jean exists?

You can ask this question about any piece of clothing. Say, for example, a Paul Smith suit. Its not the highest quality, but its pretty damn good, and miles above what people find at places like Macys and Men's Warehouse. Like selvage, if you look inside a Paul Smith jacket, you'll see subtle details that make the garment very special. While these signs of quality aren't so obvious to the naked eye, for those who are in the know, you're in a rather exclusive club.

you make it sound like a pair of non selvage jeans with subtle detailing and styling doesn't exist. the whole 'in the know' and 'exclusive club' thing is kind of funny too. i don't really think any of that matters since in the end it's really about how you feel and look.

--- Original message by mass on Feb 12, 2006 05:57 PM

If in the end it's about how you feel and look then there's a lot of factors that go into why people look and feel a certain way when wearing an article of clothing. Many people pride themselves on how much they spend, how little they spend, how well they match, even how much they "don't care" among many other things. Selvage, to many people, can make them feel like a million bucks and thereby look like a million bucks as well. So in the end... maybe it really is about selvage.
