F/W 07-08 Buys

[goldengloves]

Whoa! Those RO pant/leggings are crazy as shit!

F2Black- Yea, it seems the prices in Japan are rather inflated on most designer items, which is a shame because they have crap loads of fantastic stores.

[fade to black2]

yeah. on the flip side, though - great deals on the Yohjis, Commes and whatever Japanese designer stuff suits your fancy. For example, those YY pants I posted are in the 600 euro range, whereas in Tokyo i doubt those pants would be over 40K yen.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

I want to have sex with that grey Shawl Collar Ann D sweatshirt with a hood.

That's it.

[4wardfashionboi]

would you guys ever wear the junya watanabe f/w 2006-2007-esque sleeves though? never seen it on guys... in real life at least. hah. it's too feminine for my taste.

i love the sleeves, that's just me. Maybe i'm being biased, I LOVE RICK'S STUFF!!!

But this fall i'm feelin' this Dior Homme Jacket!!!

AND SOME DOLCE!!

[evisu 2000]

that drkshdw coat in the first look gives me a semi.

[4wardfashionboi]

does anyone know any websites that sell Junya Watanabe clothing especially the fall/winter 07 stuff. I was feeling the biker route

[minya]

I looooooooove those Yohji cargo pants... those are like my dream cargo pants. Too bad they have a pricetag to match.

I think I might splurge on a Rick jacket -- the snap-collar one in that tobacco color. Not sure if I'd be an M or an L.

I'm also definitely picking up those Lanvin hightops... they're "relatively" affordable. About 425 euro from LVR.

[goldengloves]

Yea, I actually thought those Lanvin high tops were going to be more especially when thier prices on everything else is crazy expensive.

The tobacco RO leather is so rad!

[Guest suckdick]

i want to buy everything...

[ddohnggo]

i think you and i wear the same sized tops. you'll definitely need a L or XL. RO leathers run super small.

oh shoooot. is that even including the vat deduction? well, whatever! those are officially on my to-buy list. we should start a lanvin hi-top buying group so we can get free shipping. seriously.

[josephr]

I have a love/hate kind of thing with Margiela. I like some of his pieces and utterly dispise others and some of the pieces I like are just so expensive for what they are that I never end up purchasing. I have to say though, I am quite fond of the buckle boots (which looks like it has a zipper on the side as well...sheesh) and the brown trousers like nice (my wardrobe is lacking some earthy tones...). But other than that I can pass on most of the collection.

+1 on wtf is margiela so fucking expensive

[goldengloves]

Chris, that would be a good idea. VAT deduction would be 20% roughly and then you could tack on the 50 Euro for shipping, but split amongst 5 people or so, that would be nothing.

I'm not quite sure how LVR deals with customs tax though....

[ko]

FedEx just bills who ever the item was shipped to for customs tax. I can't remember what the percentage is but I ordered a pair of Diors and I got hit with like a $60 bill from FedEx.

That Lanvin group buy sounds very nice though, I'm not sure if LVR is doing it now but I remember last year any order over 1000 euro got free shipping.

[xcoldricex]

I usually hate button downs - but that Lanvin shirt is dope. are they studs or buttons?

[xcoldricex]

i think you and i wear the same sized tops. you'll definitely need a L or XL. RO leathers run super small.

I wear a medium in my RO shearling and the other jackets I've tried on - I've never fit into a L or a XL in any of his jackets before. Hrmmm..?

[ddohnggo]

the recent RO leather jackets i've tried on run small. i usually take a 48 and the L's were super small, i couldn't even get a medium on. goldengloves bought a ro jacket a size larger or so.

[Lucas0607]

goldengloves.. awesome style. I'm a fan.

Everything is just pure fucking sex. Love it.

[goldengloves]

Yea my RO jacket from this season is an XL. I usually am a Large, sometimes Medium (depending on brand), and the XL fits like a small Large.

Thanks Lucas.

try the comme-d boutique in new york or harputs market in san francisco. watanabe aw 07 is best in four years! the tartan trousers plus silver stud toed boots are essentials. good luck!

[masuerte]

anne dem... oh damn.

I wish I never looked in this or any fall 07 superfashion thread.

Damn song starts playing in my head I get so weak in the knees, I can hardly breath, I loose all controll, you knocked me right off of my feet...

aloharag's demeulemeester buy:

http://aloharag.weblogs.jp/ann_m0708fw.pdf

ehhhh.

[ddohnggo]

i'm feeling the deep v knit #13. other than that, i'm not really taken with it. also, why is it that most of alohas buys have sizes xxs - s whereas other stores have sizes s - l?

[leroi]

probably because ann demeulemeester tends to fit very big.

[goldengloves]

Because 90% or more of AlohaRag's customers are Japanese. Also, those prices are crazy!

I'm quite fond of this Ann D. piece though, but in black...

[Tiranis]

Prices are nuts, selection is mostly crap. Not really impressed.

[goldengloves]

Thought I would bump this seeing as Fall collections are starting to trickle into stores.

Label Under Construction

(shit, I like all of this!)

Atelier has started uploading pics of their F/W items.

The AD/Raf/RO buys seem a little sparse... they might add more items over the next few days, along with additional designers.

[Fuuma]

I'm not planning on getting much; I now wear white tees+blazer+jeans/pants+trashed white converse (75%)/other shoe (25%) at all times so the only thing I could possibly need would be more blazers and I already have 10 great ones, which is a rather large number for my needs.

I'll probably get a Junya wrinkled blazer, a new sweater for winter (LUC?), maybe a slim MA+ belt because they're cool and possibly a pair of black chinos or pants (Yohji, Julius or Linea).

[Analog]

What are you doing for a winter coat?

Specifically for fall/winter -- I'm just looking at buying some heavier sweaters/cardigans, and maybe a new coat if I see something...
