i thought fat would be best. all of chastone is worse than being dragged up chapel street behind an import car wearing ed hardy, stevie and st lenny. ill have to go into the city store/s soon.

I fixed for you

[wept]

ha. thanks tyro

i just looked over the ode to the o stuff and the circumference of a circle shirt and the latem blazer are definitely on my to get list. i have a feeling the latem blazer is leather so that wont be cheap.

i'm with melbourne fc.

epic fail? probably.

tigers/wc should be a good game - thursday night?

[wept]

wept the VA hoodie looks good. the hood isn't too oversized, the hood on my julius long hoodie is epic:

mad hobo steeze haha, fell asleep on the train once while I had the hood up because it's so warm.

fat is basically the only place in melbourne for CON, unfortunately the leather save the world bag isn't been produced this season. fat did have the leather bags last season but it was insta-copped. dunno if I'd bother with the leather blazer tbh...

[wept]

if the blazer wasnt leather id like it more. its the fact that it is leather that would stop me from buying it, as leather isnt cheap. looks like ill have to look for another black bag, or just settle for the non-leather edition.

DJI. i dont know if you were after the CoN neo neo in black oil but a guy is selling them here. there size 30 though, which i think is too big for you.

[DJI]

yeah just saw that marck was selling them, would fit me but the rise height is too high on CON jeans for my liking. thanks for the heads up though.

[wept]

np. sorry it was to no avail

well, there went my last hour:

viridi anne site lists cose ipanema as a stockist? dont they only stock womens? is this old? assin going to stock viridi?

[DJI]

that's an odd choice for cose ipanema :confused:, definitely more of an assin label. upstairs section of the store still has menswear, dolce, dries and a few other mens designers.

[Tyro1]

do the cose people still own assin, or was there a split or something?

[DJI]

yeah it's still owned by Lucy Pinto, one of the Pinto sisters who are basically the fashion matriarchs of melbourne. there is an old but interesting article about them on the age. Francelina owns Assin, and Lucinda owns and runs Eastern Market now.

nearly copped current hoodie, the one with the sheen and semi destroyed cuffs and neck etc.. great fit and size 2 is perfect?? WTF

hey you have a mini beard..

pmed

[DJI]

haha, that's not me J . was thinking about getting the current season one myself, but wasn't sure on the fit or if I really liked the waxed finish as it would wash off after a few washes. not that big a fan of the distressed hems or the manifesto stitched on the front either, that and with the current exchange rate it's a ~$600 hoodie...

[50_lions]

LAB (Local Art Base) is what I gather to be an independent collective of designers, led mainly by Chris Eli Cheng. The shots came out really nice and some of the pieces could be applied well into SZ wardrobes. The pants below are probably the best 'drop-croth' or 'low-crotch' i've ever seen.

Bold statement... These two collections from back in 07 (Prorsum or Dior Homme) feature my personal favorites...

[jcotteri]

prorsum and the shoes <3<3<3

ahh yeh silly me... i see what i did there...should stop posting at 2am....

yep, the fit is great D! well on me anyway

[melvin7]

saw some lookbook shots of LAB on facebook earlier this year.. wasnt particularly impressed at all tbh.. most of their stuff fit/look awkward as hell

I used to agree with this until they uploaded new shots of the recent runway show earlier today. Looks much more thought-out and attention to detail makes the pieces all-round less awkward.

[50_lions]

That being said the only piece i'd try on would be the drop-crotch and perhaps their l/s

[James Vincent]

Did they really have to jock MMM's AIDS vneck for their own charity tee? Kind of embarrassing.

[Tyro1]

holy shit, that is terrible, its not even just similar, it is a total rip off

[DJI]

that's pretty poor, hate that there are so few local designers of menswear that really have their own identity rather than just releasing collections that are derivative of the work of popular international designers. it hardly inspires one to have much of an interest in the local fashion industry. the only 2 local designers that appeal to my own aesthetic, and that I feel have their own direction, are CM and CON.

[DJI]

details of the CM coat:

- it's made from a cotton/spandex twill with a cotton lining.

- material is waterproof, and can be either handwashed or dry cleaned

- zip closure with a couple of buttons at the top and bottom to conceal the zip

- high collar neckline, 2 front pockets and back flap

- ends a bit over 10cm above my knee (I'm 174cm in height)

CM received them yesterday. they only received one in each size, each of which had already been reserved. hopefully they will be receiving more by the end of the week, however cale mentioned that they would only be making a couple of pieces in each size this season for the entire collection.

I bought it in an S which would fit best on a 46, taking it to the tailor tomorrow to get it taken in. will post a waywt when I wear it (and have time to take a pic ).
