On Wraps...

[Servo2000]

Looking for ideas / interpretations / alternatives to this N(N) wrap from Atelier:

Personally looking for something in this vein (i.e. textured and with dark colors / fringe detailing or something along those lines), but post anything you might have. I think it's a good way to shift proportions / add something interesting to an otherwise plain silhouette, but that's just me.

Get a big piece of flannel, cut some fringe and wrap it around your waist.

I sometimes forget this is a fashion forum. Don't think me such a dullard that I couldn't figure out how to make this on my own, thank you. This thread is for purposes of inspiration and discussion, although I might be on my own on this topic once more.

Anyway, in the S/S 2004 (I believe) collection Raf used torn-up t-shirts sewn onto many of the jeans to create a "wrapping" effect, but such that it hung only on one hip. I've done this a couple of times to add asymmetry to an outfit. More visual punch. I think he's done it on other occasions but it's all I can recall off my head.

No pics.

I think that NN look is steezy. That Raf torn up t-shirt look sounds cool too, I'd love to see some pics of that.

[Servo2000]

I found some images through creative internetting (Found the old Seven New York pages). Not technically t-shirt fabric, but styled in the same vein / crocheting that the shirts from this season were.

Man, tha'ts crazy lookin'. I think I like that more than the NN wrap. It's almost primitive looking.

frute swagz imo

Agreed. It's not exactly easy to come by fabric like that though, unfortunately, which rather rules it out.

Now I'm worried that this thread might be blowing up the spot.

lol.. oversized tee under anythin + skinny jeans basicly looks same (granted shirt must be uber XL - i rocks the 6XL personally).

raf did similar bib type things a while back.. as with the punk movement bum flaps, kilts etc.

think its quite a good look masalf.

Pic in Servo's first post looks good to me.

those raf pants were ss04 i think i remeber getting out bid on some a few years ago on ebay,heres best pic i could find hard to really see as its white on white,ss04 was a fuking cool collection.

[mike lowrey]

that N(N) one has a belt of some sort attached, so I think it might be quite functional compared to many alternatives. too bad the price is slightly under 40,000Y, I think.

raf was always on the wrap thing. he did the pants with attached sweater wrap in 02 at first i think. and then in 04 and 05 he did pants with other shaped attachments.

imo i dislike the wraps.. hard to pull off. if done right it looks amazing though. same as the shorts-over legging look that's been popular this season.

Best pic of the Raf's SS04 I have,

bit wide sorry about that:

fucking beautifull presentation it was...

Diet Butcher Slim Skin had something vaguely similar to it in their latest collection.

It looks pretty off there, but it works really well in the runway show.

[Fabulaz]

I can dig it.

nn had some good ones in ss 02. ill get some scans when i can. they were alot thinner than the flannel looking ones - basically see through with tablecloth like patterns, more drapy making a real nice silhouette.
