Hope's jackets are always incredibly good. They're also super mega expensive. And the quality isn't THAT great.

I just bought the 100% wool bordeaux red cardigan. We received it in the store, I opened the box, unpacked and unfolded it, and I bought it in an instant. It's amazing, and it has leather elbow patches, which was the reason I just NEEDED to have it. I do have to say that it's pretty expensive for a cardigan , 225 euro's. I got personel-discount though, but it still was expensive. A thread (was) snapped at one seam too, but I was able to discover and repair it in time. Don't know if it was a production-flaw or something I did.

Oh, and the jackets are also amazing. The sweaters are nice, really good quality, basic.

The whole collection is OK. The show wasn't very consistent, some models had icefrost in their hair, some didn't, there was one model chewing gum, 'raw models' vs 'sophisticated models'.

I REALLY liked the very last look, the furcoat is awesome, and the colorcombination is also very well done.

For the Dutch people, Margriet Nannings will be stocking this collection, including the Raf by Raf collection! And maybe even Yohji!

Leggings were originally meant to be for MEN, after that, women started to wear them.

I would only wear them if they would look as good as the looks in Givenchy's SS09 collection tho.

this one looks sooo dries

This collection wasn't very impressive at all (as some people said before, you can't help but associate it with Dior's coutoure collection). Especially if you compare it to the menswear collections of Romain Brau, Antonin Tron or Yu Fukumoto.

Ah, thanks! It must be his 2006 collection because I remembered him graduating last year with another (very awesome) collection!

edit:

Looked it up, you can check his 2006 collection here:

And his graduation collection (which I think is even better):

info on this?? soo cool!

This is a collection of one of the students at the Antwerp fashion academy! I've tried to search it for you, but to no avail. It frustrates me because I just saw it for the last time yesterday >_<. I'll definately post it up for you when I stumble upon it again.

I also had the Lanvin association, which, in a way, isn't bad. I would wear most of this, love the broaches and the overall styling is very well done.

I missed it! A friend of mine was graduating (Ek Thongprasert), but I couldn't go .

That Romain Brau guy is insaaannnee, he used so much furr in his third year collection that Walter van Beierendonck warned him that it might be a wise thing to tone it down for his final collection because he was afraid animal activists were going to throw paint on his pieces.

I really liked Discovery. Human After All was so dark and evil, not that I hated it tho.

It's really hard to find nice white dress shoes already, so good luck finding one that is also cheap. Or it'll have to be made out of canvas or fake leather with rubber soles. Try Ebay, I guess.

I can buy this Patrik Ervell Jacket for (very) cheap, cop or no cop?

Stocksales seem to be this week in Antwerp(at least, Veronique Branquinho, Ann Demeulemeester and maybe Dries). Does anybody know the adresses where the stocksales take place?

I love it! Especially love the shorts(in the SS08 collection).

So I've heard that there's another stocksale in antwerp somewhere in April. Is this true? I've tried to google it, but no result yet.

She won Festival d'Hyeres 2007. You can google her FW 2008 collection too (or was it SS08?), anyway, too lazy to look for it right now.

These look horrible! What's up with the bunching?

I would pretty much wear all of it. It's a great collection! And yes, those trousers really look comfy!

and I also love this jacket:

Oversized sweater from f/w was close to 300 $. Material 40 %acrylic 60 % wool which I think is horrible in something that expensive...

That's horrible indeed, since acrylic often tends to pill a lot.

I thought the Dries cardigans were pretty awesome:

The collection was a bit confusing, the first half had a 70's vibe sillhouette, with all the flared trousers and stuff, while the second half had a modern sillhouette, with the, slim trousers.

Great collection! Love the scarve!
