hot stuff. i'm really feeling that crewneck.

[Astérix]

I want that sweater and leather jacket!

[2000dB]

I really like the footwear (the shoes look like a margiela and raf simons crossover) and the accessories. I'm not feeling the rest except the last jacket. Thanks for posting the pics!

[sbw4224]

Just to clarify, what country is julius from, and who stocks it? Looks to me like a combination of label under construction and Poell with some Demeulemeester influence. Overall, looks very nice.

[ddohnggo]

i think japan

[xcoldricex]

it's a japanese label, yes.

i'm not feeling it myself. i either feel like the things are a bit too designed or maybe it's not gritty enough for me, i'm not sure.

[sbw4224]

Ah thanks for the post, xcoldricex. Have you had the chance to handle it in person?

[xcoldricex]

yeah. quality is good, i haven't handled their accessories/footwear though- djraijo owns a few julius pieces so you can ask him. pricepoint isn't that high either. there have been some pieces from past seasons that i've really liked but i think i'm between sizes in julius so i couldn't wear any of their stuff even if i wanted to.

Good to see you posting my favorite label coldrice! This collection is bananas. It's like a cross between Aliens/Mad Max/Blade Runner, very post-apocalyptic. The leather jacket is the key piece of the collection, super soft lamb skin from Greece, details are amazing, quality is amazing, fit is tight. Just beautiful. I've been trying to get my hands on it but its sold out everywhere. In fact, the Daikanyama store told me that it sold out the week the catalog came out on reservations alone, even though its 180,000 yen! If I have time I'll post the catalog. It's stellar. So underrated here in Japan. I can't tell you how good the quality of these items are, unless you see them.

That sweater has my name on it!

[sbw4224]

Do you guys know if A in NYC carries this? I'd love to see it in person.

[darkanimal]

No, I am also dissapointed they didn't carry The Viridi-anne and Mihara Yasuhiro this Fall.

i think i have this thing for post-apocalyptic styled clothing. i wonder why.

but yeah, the leather jacket - that's the piece i like, but i probably wouldn't fit in it. haha. do they do pretty low runs of things? i hardly saw it in tokyo- i saw more of it in osaka - but they didn't seem to have many stockists even in japan. maybe i was overlooking the stores though.

Superfuture is probably the best board out there but I wish it was a bit more cutting edge and focused more on up-and-coming designers, styles...

saw this in supertrash, so i decided to try and do my part.

the jacket

[M4TM]

dj hit it on the nose. thats what i was thinking.

eh. i can't pull most of that stuff off. but good to look at.

[djrajio]

Yeah, I think that's the problem of a small outfit like Julius. The reality is the stocklists are low because the label can't afford to make too many items. Also, Julius has a policy of first taking reservations from their main store and any items that are left, they distribute to other retail stores. So unfortunately a size 2 black in the leather jacket has been impossible for me to get. I think only a couple dozen of those those engineered boots at the top were made as well...The only other store in Tokyo I know that stocks Julius is Mid West in Shibuya, but even they didn't get the key pieces. *Cries*

[xcoldricex]

.... oops that's a different label nevermind.

Hey djraijio, how many guys in Japan would sport this look on a normal basis, let's say the frequency you might see them on the street? Here in NYC I only see people doing this look in fashion shows and underground parties. I wish NYC would be more daring, but then again 50% of the people here are visiting tourist from Mid America.

[xcoldricex]

i don't remember seeing anyone on the streets dressing like this. the people that did were all SA's.

and not from this collection but some dope shoes anyway.

if i took electrical tape to my poell shoes this is what they'd look like haha.

I wanna say more often than not, espeically the general look. In fashionable areas like Daikyanama, Harajuku perhaps 20-30%?. I've been seeing the cargo pants in combat boot look on both girls and guys alot recently. This collection hit the key trends for the season on the head: Boots, leather jackets, military/cargo pants/items but did them a bit different, which I like. Seems like the leather jacket is the short slim jacket of last fall. But I do agree that incorporating the entire look may be a bit too much. I sorta take the few of incorporating one or two key pieces to my wardrobe to spice it up a bit. Like those engineer boots I plan to incorporate with a slim black blazer, sort of a mash of formal/military.

i think, considering how 'un-daring' NYC seems, the rest of the world is just behind the curve.

i concur with you fully, though. but usually with menswear- i don't have much hard of a time spotting women wearing particularly fashion-forward looks. guys, on the other hand... errr..

maybe i shouldn't be one complain, i sure love my t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, and hoodies a whole lot... i make a concerted effort to mix things up a lot though.

[YoungPunch]

leather jacket is sick!! thanks for introducing us to this brand.

[ten100switch]

so you'd say there is very little chance of being about to find those boots or those cargo pants at this point?

Yeah, I really liked those shoes. What's crazy is that its real leather stripes that are wrapped around the boot and then sewed down. Really cool...

Somebody in the fashion industry told me that the world still looks at NYC for trends and inspiration. London lets say picks up trends from NYC but does them more over the top and there are more people willing to be daring over there. I will investigate further if this is true once I visit.
