  1. Anyone here have experience with Rick Owens DRKSDHW Parkas? only I quite like the look of one but fear I might be throwing my money away, are they actually any good in Wintry inclement weather.

     

    I have the horn for a fishtail parka you see, so other than the Diagonal R from a couple of years ago from SISP I have no idea.

     

    Any/all help appreciated.

     

    If you are talking about the Exploder parka that's been DRKSHDW-ed, I'd like to think that it is warm enough.

     

    More often that not, that last bit of mind control is enough for people for our sort. Haha.

  2. Alexander Wang X H&M

     

    Mixed emotions about any footwear that H&M puts out. 

     

    Had the x MMM hightops and they felt like I had planks of wood for soles–albeit that the planks were dipped in semi-hard urethane, they felt horrible nonetheless.

  3. ^ Timor who is a resident charged me around 150EUR/hr—the time thing/issue is also largely malleable as I found. Plus points that the guy is extra kind, hilarious, accommodating / all around cool.

     

    I don't think I could not say the same everyone at the shop which was a surprise too. Might've been overly giddy but fuck, I flew across the world, crossed an ocean, took AirFrance, rode EasyJet, and saw 4 cars on fire outside my window 8 hrs. prior—I'll be as giddy as I fucking want to. 

  4. Dude, 1 page. 1 PAGE.

  5. Stamp'd LA strapped bomber (helmut lang ripoff?)

    So many mixed emotions about this: a. feel bad wanting it bec. it's a copy, b. feel bad that they just nearly straight copied, c. moral issues about paying 300 usd for a rip-off, d. realizations that it's probably the closest I'll get to a bondage bomber. 

  6. ^ troo troo

     

    Apologies for the neg righty, mobile browsing—danke for the concern.

     

     

    Don't worry gais, I'm just budgeting cash. Will post photos post session. 

     

    Hopefully I've enough time/money for two bits.

  7. ^ Totally—I'm just tied to a context wherein that just isn't possible. 

     

    Third world problems, amongst other things (i.e. additional travel, engagement ring costs, general IRL problems). 

  8. ^ oui, that's what I meant. I'm quite excited for what he was in mind—though concerned because I've seen how varied work from the same artist can get.

     

    Last question, hourly rates are computed upon arrival or when the needles come out? Working within a finite budget wherein this is a concern.

  9. Managed to book an appointment in AKA with Timor for 2 small things. Wanted to ask anyone who's gotten ones there before how the process goes about?

     

    Mainly asking as I just sent him several odd travel photos for reference. I'm curious if it's custom for them to just illustrate it immediately prior or does it happen a couple days prior / would it be kosher to ask what he has in mind, etc.?

  10. I'll add my Ippudo Ramen from China

     

    Always feel like they're immensely consistent regardless of where they are.

     

    That said, it always feels like they're just floundering on that border between really good and great. 

     

    Have never walked out of Ippudo (HK, KL, MNL) feeling like my mind got shot—then again, I might just be crazy.

  11. saying that, its nice to see that some people have changed their outlooks slightly with more buyers openly (and honestly) criticising aspects they don't like about particular garments or selections as opposed to just gushing over absolutely everything and it all being one huge circle jerk. the only way things will be improved are if flaws are highlighted and recognised.

     

    ^ Precisely the point why I think that there is value in voicing our opinion regarding ACRONYM, both positive and otherwise. More so because the ACR-cult makes for a small enough loop (and the production is small enough) that any feedback put on here would lead to a direct effect.

     

    I'd like to echo similar sentiment regarding the season. Maybe it's partly my fault? There is always expectation for FW to be the season for hardcore ACR-porn. Instead of the usual deepthroat, backdoor, and threeway tidings, it feels like we were served a relatively tame faux-amateur casting instead. Sure, the girl may be an 8, but we've already seen that before haven't we?

     

    Who knows what's going on with the brand at the moment. They're cloak and dagger enough for me to just drink the "they've got bigger things planned" kool-aid and carry on. It's not like I'm leaving the circle or anything, but like the other folks here, I think plenty of us are still waiting for the porn to start.
