What did you expect,though? The runners from the collab come with a fucking note saying they're not made for running.

i'll be very disappointed if the raf stans dont have a pic of raf on the tongue

This one is close to be my #1 collection of this season.

Same here. Didn't have that reaction to Junya menswear in ages. I actually think this might be my favorit collection he's done.

I didn't hate this. Wouldn't buy any of it and it still feels like he chooses the models by the punchabilty of their faces, but it reminded me of older Number (N)ine collections like the Guns N' Roses one a little.

Shoulders too broad, gut too fat. Someone needs to cop.

It's probably really stupid of me to criticize this, because it's such a staple of fashion design (especially Raf whom he gets compared to the most), but it feels incredibly lazy to basically rip off how certain Russians youth cultures dress and then sell it for hundreds of dollars. I wonder if anyone would care about him at all if it wasn't for the general attention Russian culture has been getting in the past few years(Pussy Riot, homophobia etc.) Of course Rubchinskiy is not just a fashion designer and I can appreciate what he's doing from a conceptual point of view, but the clothes themselves are simply boring. I'm really excited to see how much the prices will skyrocket due to the hype surrounding him right now, though.

I'm really feeling some of the Alpha Industries soft shell MA-1s. The light grey one looks like it's from UC's ss2010 collection.

I'm really surprised by Wood Wood's SS2014 collection. I didn't really have them on my radar anymore, but there are some really great pieces in there.

For me it's exactly the other way around. I love KvA's new collection and i think it's one of his best yet and I also feel like he takes more risks with his own label. Dior peaked with SS12 and while it's still very consistent, it feels a little stale lately. I do like the increase of sci-fi influences,though. The last two look like uniforms for an alien boarding school.

For a second I thought they actually used a picture of Kurt Cobain.

I meant in the inofficial #minimalism battle between Jil Sander reloaded and Céline that is probably taking place in my head mostly. But that neg rep surely makes me think about my imprudent behavior, thank you.

2:0 for Jil since she's back in my opinion. Not feeling any of the patterns she used. The moss green coat and the pieces with the detachable sleeves are great,though.

I'm usually quite fond of grunge influences. I really loved Dries' women's collection for SS13, I like the way Raf used the famous Kurt Cobain dress at the back of the coats in his summer collection, Number (N)ine was always one of my favorites, but this just seems so incredibly lazy and devoid of any sort of humor or second thought. It looks like he took the lookbook posts that got the most hype and recreated them with YSL's funds. The closing look is literally just a copy of the Cobain dress Raf used as well coated in some glittery shit and put on a girl with the same haircut Kurt had. It's almost the antithesis to grunge.

As usual there are some great pieces in there, but it does seem kind of uninspired compared to the women's. It seems like slapping a different print related to the women's collection or some band from the 70s on garments with the same colors and silhouettes is all he is doing with his menswear from season to season. It's not that I don't like it, in fact I'd wear most of it (except for those ballet flats. what the hell), but I wish he'd put a little more effort into it. It says a lot that people are still lusting over the jackets from FW09 and the printed pieces from SS10.

This is absolutely insane in the best possible way. I can't decide if the ruffles on some pieces are supposed to look like intestines hanging out of the body or if I just see it that way because of the collection's title. Anyway, I'm glad to see him showing in Paris and being more avant-garde (for the lack of a better word) again. Let's see if this will affect the men's as well or if he'll go down the Junya road.

I hate how small they run. I just found the green Lunarspeeds from FW12 for 70 bucks, but size 11 was too small (I'm usually a 10.5).

So did anyone already check out some stuff? On the website it says that the sizing has changed on the shirts and the pants. Size down on everything?

bump. CDH shirt still for sale.

Do any European stores still carry Robert Geller? His site is not very informative when it comes to stockists.

bump. CPs sold. Price drop for the CDG shirt.

Not as bad as checking yourself out in a car window only to notice that someone is sitting in it.

bump. APCs sold as well.

The Americans' pilot was quite good. Keri Russell sticking her finger in dudes' assholes, kicking heads through walls, Fleetwood Mac and all that jazz.
