I bought them at reborn in Montreal. Check out the bless website for a list of retailers.

xcoldricex : I'll try to snap up a pic today. I'm wearing them to a wedding I'm playing music at

showbiz00ditc : They don't look too bad when on, the effect is still "subtle". Unless I start filling up the fishnet pockets with candy or something like that!

Bless is really hit and miss for me. Some of their stuff is just too avant garde/high concept for me to disgest.

Cable jewelry...:confused:

[2000dB]

I understand what you mean djrajio, there's somes pieces that are a bit too out there, but most of the stuff is quite wearable imo. There was a weird sideless-long-coat-backpack (they probably have a better name for it though ) that is really nice and I really like their ultra baggy pants this season. I'm also really impressed by the fabrics they use, it is really really comfortable.

Some more info on the Latin Kings book, please. I've never seen it before; is it new?

Its a book about a group of swedish artists called The Latin Kings. It is in swedish and not to my knowledge released outside sweden so i guess thats why you never seen it. The book is about a year old.

[sneakerstar2]

That Fashion Costume Institute of Kyoto book is excellent. One of the best fashion books in my opinion.

Yes awsome book.

I loaned my friend $20.00. He gave me these Number (N)ine Jeans. So I figured I post them here since I technically bought them.

I'm not sure how I feel about the native american textile pattern on the thighs and the backpockets, however I sorta feel like I can pull it off come the heavy wintertime with a huge chunky knit coat/sweater. I'll see, but I guess for 20.00 bucks I might as well keep em.

Mouko, had you seen this? This guy is Number Nine press, I think so he has the whole getup, but he makes them work.

awesome man. Great to see someone wearing it and making it work.

I haven't tried them on yet only because I've gained a bit of summer weight, but that has reassured me some on how good they can look.

I think onemancult thought it was a book about the NYC gang The Latin Kings. I thought so too when i saw the title.

Oh. Oops. Thought it was about the American street organization. My interest is piqued nonetheless, I'll have to find out more about these Swedish Latin Kings... I'm almost positive they would've taken the name from the gang.

I actually think that cable jewelry is really, really, really, really great.

[xcoldricex]

that is not minya in the picture.

[xcoldricex]

the second one of the cable jewelry is do-able... the first... i don't think so.

[onemancult]

hahaha. the first one, i think, would look great draped around my girlfriend's neck. i dunno, i think if there's anything in someone's wardrobe that can actually stand to be avant-garde, it is accessories.

[adsurgo]

that is not minya in the picture.

whoops. my bad. i just went back and read.

[dismalfuture]

Those Alfredo Bannisters are absolutely nuts. I guess that's something else to put on the TYO shopping list.

[Konfucius]

whoops. my bad. i just went back and read.
