its just clothes

 

ive explained the circumstances

 

beyond that it speaks for itself, or doesnt

 

nothing worse than a designer talking about their work too much

1. theres been some cynicism lately that you cant make it in london without the backing of one of the major fashion incubators like fashion east, newgen, etc. as many designers do their 3 shows with one of them and then just fade away, instead craig's first show on his own was by far his best ever, people were worried that he was gonna run out of ways to dye/paint fabric and instead he showed he can just make great clothes. before this the consensus on him was that he did good stuff and not much more, after this show he has pretty much established himself as one of the best in london.

 

and along the same lines, you kind of have to become more refined after "graduating" from these things and that often leads to stuff becoming much more boring, but this didnt lose any of the playfulness of his previous collections.

 

2. for all the rep london gets as the world capital for innovative fashion, most of the young designers are actually doing really bad/boring stuff without much care for creating anything thats of quality. basically the path london fashion (and menswear in particular) has gone down lately are basic streetwear shapes with a strong focus on graphic/print type stuff, look at bobby abley's most recent collection for example, the whole thing looks like it was designed on cafepress.com, before this show i think the ratio of shows this season that featured lame basics with embroidered patches on them to shows that didnt was something like 2:1. liam hodges did black basics with embroidered patches, christopher shannon did windbreakers with embroidered patches, i forgot who did those "when youre hot youre hot" patches but jesus christ this shit has been eating its own tail.

 

its just nice to see a young designer go the opposite way, successfully. i guess aitor throup did as well, but he was never really a london designer i think, everything he did was distanced from that entire circus.

 

there wasnt a single other show this season that was really exciting, nicomede talavera was pretty good, jw anderson was alright i guess, most of the others don't even need to be mentioned.

 

3. a lot of people who have gotten buzz in london the last few years are douchey jackasses and craig is the exact opposite of that, nicest guy ever, its cool to se a guy like that succeed

 

4. all that aside its just a great collection

augustus is like 10 years younger than you (i think??) so very different life situations

 

also any gf that gives curfews probably not the best choice in first place

10th try or whatever, finally posted something that didnt suck

 

craig did a good job this season, some of the typical london underfunded show stuff is still there (showing the same garment in 4 different colours to pad out the number of looks etc) but he is really growing leaps ahead of all the other new london guys

 

(exept aitor i guess but thats a different type of thing)

 

shout outs especially for not printing any words or photos on his clothes

i cant wait for this thing to burst and every new tech guy in san francisco to be kicked out of their 3k/month apartment

It's a shame nobody seems to have put pictures of the ethnic costume section online, that's often the best part of the Antwerp show.

My favourite of this weekend's Antwerp show, Yens Cuyvers. The only Belgian to graduate this year. Reminiscent of early Raf Simons for sure (and his lookbook was shot by Willy Vanderperre), but also some new ideas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are there even internships in buying? Serious question, I know a few buyers and none of them were ever "buying interns"

I'll be there for work last few days of june/first few days of july

glad everyone has 20/20 hindsight on how to prevent the massacre

looked at some demographic breakdowns of the results. basically we need to ban men under 30 from voting and everything will be ok

oh good we were getting worried and thought you might do the sensible thing and just jack off and forget about her

Sorry meant 2 +rep

Boiled wool suit is the best flight clothes. Feels like sweatsuit but you get treated like a real person. Bonus points for drawstring trousers.

whos up for sufu paris meetup 2016

a lot of great things have a dedication:payoff ratio that seems pretty bad but are still fun

 

i dont care about anime or fandom or whatever but it seems like cosplay would be fun if i did

 remove all the leather accessories and thats a cool fit actually, nice to see the ccp drips with something other than more ccp

Any suggestions on the most comfy pair of beaters for spending all day walking around in while travelling?

free run 5.0v3 or whatever the current iteration of that shoe is called

Best walking around without getting tired shoes

they're just gonna keep releasing almost good white 1's with some bad detail forever and never do an actual retro of white/natural grey's

i almost bought a pair of supreme blazers once in like 2006 or 2007, also tiffany dunks
