feelin this collection more than the previous fw2010 and ss2010 stuff.. def. more 'out-there' with some bold statements..

more crazy neo-fairisle patterns, with the addition of bolo ties, and tribal motifs

some selected pics from fashionsnap which i thought were great:

theres some wearable frute swagz in here, good stuff. WM still makes some of the dopest gore-tex out there.

[pieiskewl]

this is real good, first and last du are on point. idunno if i could pull this shit off, but it's dope for real

[ninetynine]

This is great, I like the concept of it a lot.

I think piece by piece the stuff might be easier to pull off, I don't know if I could handle it tho.

Guy third up from the bottom looks like the odlaw to cottonducks waldo.

[todesengel]

ugghhh want those drawstring pattern shorts... still kicking myself for not picking up some WM when I was at their store in tokyo.

ITEM LIST UP WITH PICS

[insomnia]

so nice.

painful to know it'll run like 800+ :\

[Guest ONLY New York]

so nice.

painful to know it'll run like 800+ :\

goretex paclite's normally run 400 and above, the only issue i have with this release is the print is a bit overbearing. if it were used as more detail and less overall I would be all over it.

[undercover73]

The short version of this runs at c. £480 so with proxy fees etc looking at about c £550. Im thinking about purchasing the blue and white print. All the shorts are amazing too.

i saw the full line up yesterday at isetan. i recall seeing pieces that aren't posted on the website.

i was pleasantly surprised. attention to detail is great. really nice color. the pictures don't really do justice.

most of the short goretex shells were 65100 and up. shirts were 20,000 - 30,000 yen

i can't really afford any of the stuff but this is definitely one of the most interesting but wearable domestic labels right now.

if i were to spend mad $ on clothes, this is it.

[Pavlov's Bell]

outerwear is straight fire.

any chance of crazy summer sale price reductions i wonder. really hope to get an item or two from this collection, even if only an accessory

[lintmunro]

Really dig this. Wearable, plus look at the synergy between pants and tattoo.

[aoi]

Tattoo synergy is really stupid IMO. I like the clothes even though I probably couldn't incorporate much of it.

How do you guys see this holding up in a couple of years down the road? For some reason I think it probably won't be that fresh, it's just too right now. Not really sure what my exact thoughts are, that's why I'm asking you. Vibskov is kinda similar and I've been digging his stuff for years now, so what's making me feel different about this?

[Augustus]

Do the sizes run small still?

[undercover73]

Thats not a real tattoo. Its a transfer hence the synergy.

Sizing defo runs small

[Vampyrvargfesten]

Do the sizes run small still?

From my experience, everything is 1 size smaller (japanese sizes).

So their Medium is really somewhere like a Small.

That's probably why the Europe stockists typically start carrying "Large" as their smallest size (i.e. The Glade and Hunting and Collecting)

[lintmunro]

fyi i was joking when i mentioned tattoo synergy

[aoi]

And I was serious about the fake tattoo matching the patterns looking stupid. Point being?

[lintmunro]

point being it looks stupid i guess

[undercover73]

Its just the catwalk styling. Looks ok. Have seen better- check Mugler- but works in relation to the clothes and the seasons motifs

[SelfEXplanatory]

might be alone on this one, but im really feeling it. If anyone could point me in the right direction of obtaining this...would be greatly appreciated. I imagine stockist outside of japan havnt received their S/S delivery yet?
