  1. yeah I voted for adsurgo too! yours are AWESOME! I was thinking about voting for hjj before adsurgo posted his pictures but his honeycombs weren't as badass as some other jeans. So I decided to wait for pictures of the other contestants And I'm glad I did.

    cheep: your whiskers and lapfade are sick and so are your honeycombs but I really hate your backpockets(no offence!)

    poly800rock: really cool vintage-like fade. But it looks like the creases didn't really have a chance to set in before you washed it again.

    386: your fades are sick! But you washed your jeans too many times IMO. I think it would've been a battle between you and adsurgo if you didn't wash it so many times...

    I've been lurking since the beginning of this contest(this isn't my account btw) and it has been really great!

  2. Ahh!!! Please, people from antwerp, post something!!! I'm all psyched now.

    I've always thought that a sample sale was a few evenings where specially invited people could buy stuff of the newest collection for a cheaper price?

  3. 'rough'? its 'raff'. like, "get that fucking riff-raff out of my bar",

    or the word 'raft' minus the 't'. it rhymes with autograph.

    why pronounce it with an 'ou' sound if that 'a' is completely unambiguous?

    the 'simmons' pronounciation is the next best thing, in my opinion, and i

    still use it often.

    'sighmons' should never be an option.

    Ok, I'm Dutch, so this is how it should be pronounced:

    Ruff Sea-môns

    And while I'm at it:

    Hedi Slimane:

    Hey-dee Slea-mahn

    Dries van Noten :

    "Drees fun-no-ton"

    Kris van Assche :

    "Kris-fun-ushe"

    Veronique Branquinho :

    "Veer-row-neek Brun-queen-ho"

  4. Yeah, I've read about an Ann Demeulemeester sample sale too. But the Dries sale will probably be for his S/S '08 collection, which I wasn't very fond of... I'm aiming for the knits in the F/W '07 collection.

    Thanks btw!

  5. The old collection was pretty decent. The new collection has some aweful fits though. Backpockets on some of the jeans are TOO big and the backpocketdesign on one model is soo ugly, it's like... diagonal, too big and they're badly placed. I really like the fit on the jeans with "DRY" on one backpocket though. And the selvage jeans are pretty nice too.

    Weird thing is... I bought a japanese denim none selvage pair from the "for our friends" collection that's worth 240 euros(about 340 USD) love the fit btw. But the selvage jeans are 230 euros(324 USD), and an other selvage model is about 250(353 USD)... Maybe it's the Japanese denim? Or maybe the 240 euros jeans are part of the "first class"quality collection?. Yeah, I heard blueblood devides it's jeans into quality "classes"(don't know how to call it) first, second and third class.(don't know how it works and not sure)

    Oh, and what I really like is that some of the models are a bit tapered on the bottom of the hem, you can't really see it but it prevents the jeans from crawling under your shoes:)

    edit: I got the 240 euros jeans for cheap btw.(60 euros/$85 hehe) NO WAY that I would pay 240 euros for a non selvage pair of jeans if I could get a selvage pair for less.

  6. I'm not very in touch with womenswear, but I saw a Simpsons photo spread from Harper's Bazaar and the Viktor & Rolf models had some strange light units sticking out from their backs. This is F/W 2007 RTW. Are V&R known for this "unwearable" look?

    No, they've got plenty of collections that are wearable. Their F/W collection is wearable too, they only presented it as a look that seemed unwearable. But if you remove al the equipment/lighting that was used for the runway show, most pieces are just normal clothes.

  7. ^haha! The party was awesome, but I don't know if I'll be going again! There were guys(including a friend of mine) that wore heels and people went totally crazy! Bas Kosters was the DJ, the music was cool. I actually kicked someone with my awesome geta and ran away, it was crazy.

    I don't know for sure yet, but I'll be going to Club 8 tomorrow (friday the 31st). If anybody's interested, please PM me, and we'll chill somewhere, eat pancakes on the Rozengracht (always wanted to eat there), or whatever. I have an introductionday tomorrow too (I'll be going to The Gerrit Rietveld academy), so I might invite other people with me, it'll be fun!
