Is up:

'98 Prada meets urban cowboy? Not sure I get it.

They did a good job of making their 'looks' model look fat and pasty, though.

I always enjoy looking through thier lookbooks, the photographs are always nice on the eyes. The use of older models is a cool touch as well.

Looks like the usual stuff I've come to expect from NDG. Nice sweaters, cardigans, denim, and jackets. Nothing is 'spectacular' but everything looks well constructed. The short trench is definitely my favorite piece in the collection.

NDG has been on point lately with updating thier site as well!

yea whats up with this? I've always wondered how they manage to make the "Looks" part look so bad. for example FW07, something about the fits just look really bad. this collection was slightly better in terms of that, but still the other sections is far superior to the Looks part.

couple of looks I liked:

[poly800rock]

err...they seemed to have released the same stuff again....is it me or are they becoming more like APC and more...basic?

[Icarus]

I'm a fan, I have come to love NdG.

[broneck]

i adore this brand...can't afford a single thing, but they put out some of the nicest pieces i've ever seen. both of these looks just kill

especially that anorak

[Caps Lock]

Really liking the looks, I'm really interested in the short trench and some the sweaters, the narrow jeans look good too.

[yuljo]

I need some of those grey jeans in my life.

can't say i've ever been a big fan of ndg or their style but i have always loved their windbreakers and military jackets. but i agree i have always liked their look books as well.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

WHere the fuck do i know that lookbook model from?

And on another note. They are on some Refined NYC interperetation of Northern Maine, look.

I like it for its simplicity.

Waiting on the fall '07 collection...

[Lucas0607]

love the lookbook.

[Brooklyn Zoo]

ive always loved everything and anything having to do with nom, i do agree however, that apc is looking very similar nowadays.

I have a question. What time of shoes is recommended when wearing ndg? Can I wear nikes/visvim, or does it have to be dressy/classy? I remember they were hypebeasty, is that all supposed to have disapeared?

[Servo2000]

Short trench / anorak / rain jacket all look nice. That short trench is really growing on me, I bet I could easily work that into my current aesthetic, and I bet it would work pretty well with the way I dress is slowly moving since trenches usually work with boots / darker details.

I love the presentation of the collection, as well.

It's funny looking back at the 06 collections and seeing how much the s/s brand has grown in just 2 years.

any help please?

[goldengloves]

Well I would say that's all up to your personal preference. It seems as though they typically style thier fall collections with boots (they did collaborations with Trickers) and the Spring seems to have more sneakers pictured. But in the end it's up to you.

I get kind of a street, working man's feel in a lot of thier clothing now a days, don't know if that's what they're aiming for or not.

[Guest]

Sayword depends I guess, I think most of their stuff would probably look better with a more dressy shoe, but with people wearing Dior with Jordans who really gives a fuck.

Edit: ^^ What he said

[Sayword]

thanks for the comments

[mr fluffernutter]

any help please?

1980's ... maybe 50's if you're going for the REAL AMERICAN vintage look.
