CrocoEmbossed

erm.. you might have to. cant really help much if i dont know what your talking about.

Here is the link:

what piece exactly are you talking about? there are some fake shoes and other small items on.... the stuff from the mainline collections are normally legit though

I dont think I can paste the link, but it's a multi-colored sweattop. grey/orange/mustard.

I may be naive, but bear with me.

There is BW piece that I really want from a seller in Hong Kong, but I fear it's a fake as they borrowed pics from another website. I contacted the seller and asked for real pics a few minutes ago.

The piece sold out here in the US immediately. I checked the seller's history, but I feel that is not going to tell me what I need to know.

What should I do? Are BW fakes rampant on ebay? Any advice would be appreciated. I've never purchased from ebay because the fear of receiving a fake item would damn near drive me suicidal.

Pfahahaha!

This is Bernhard at full force in my opinion. Coming up with this stuff, enjoying it and laughing his ass off at al the people who don't get it. Do you think he's worried that you might not want to walk around with a silver sprayed comb and a feather on your head?

Trust me, it won't get toned down for the shelves, this is it!

Bernhard is fucking with the boundaries of what people consider fashion, and the fact that this is a mens collection only shows that more.

He moved away from his earlier style wich was just a weird when he started doing it but has now been accepted and adopted by alot of people.

Also, there's a lot of Westwood in there...

He might not be "worried..." [as you put it], but he should be. I regularly buy Bernhard, but can only see maybe two feasible pieces. That's a problem. While I love clothing as art, the pieces do have to sell at full-price to a certain extent to remain viable.

If this is what is on offer for spring, I'm not interested. Maybe some tone-downed hoodies might surface for the shops, but this makes me wonder.

Someone commented that Bernhard has gotten frilly lately and, indeed, he has. I was turned off by several pieces this fall because of unnecessary feminine detail on sleeves. I'm all for androgynous and avant-garde clothing, but Bernhard is something other than that for S/S09. When I define the "other" that he is, I'll be sure to let you know.

some of the tops are fresh, and right, revolve picked them up... a little overpriced in my opinion. anyone own a piece and can attest to the quality and fit?

I purchased two pieces from Revolve after Seven sold out of an item I wanted. The pleated shorts were nice and seem like a decent build quality. No country of origin was listed, so I assume it is all made in China.

The snap sleeve cowl-neck sweatshirt is of TERRIBLE quality. The sweat material is flimsy and feels totally cheap. I returned that mess immediately. I don't mind brands using sweat material as they can do innovative cuts with the fabric. A lot of people are like, "Oh I would never pay that for sweats," but I beg to differ - sweat is a great casual and versatile material.

However, when you are paying hundreds, you expect good or best quality sweats. BLESS uses excellent sweat material (made in Italy) and is priced near Hood by Air. There is no excuse.

Maybe some others can testify to the quality of their pieces.
