^ ditto, FG is one of my favourite local designers but it's damn near impossible to pick out any pieces from those runway shots.

[btbam]

come see me today james, ill be finishing the order off today.

I own one FG tank and I must admit it feels amazing on. He uses such nice fabric and it drapes perfectly... the back side of mine is a tad longer which creates an interesting wrap around silhouette.

After purchasing it I become obsessed with his design but it really is hard to find the stand-out pieces anywhere in melbs. FAT stocks but only buys the more common pieces.. or perhaps they hang them on the female rack. Alice Euphemia does not stock him anymore.

All in all it's a bit disappointing he's moving away from menswear.

[btbam]

I agree i wish he would do more menswear as i believe he is one of the best designers in australia. But in saying that i really dont have much more room for more mens labels, womens on the other hand...

Went and tried on some CoN shoes at SWT today. The 1914 shoe is really nice and I think I may have to cop. Bt, have you worked out your prices yet?

[btbam]

what ever price you can get, take 10% off and thats your price

most FG basics and pants are unisex though aren't they?

[btbam]

Yeah they are, a lot of his pieces are very unisex some not so tho

[bishibashi]

saw this on dezeen.

anyone been there yet?

[jbone]

i thought i read a while back that the store was shutting down?

EDIT: or the label was nomore i should say

just saw its a pop up store... how long is it there for

[jbone]

yeh D... some of the women pieces i wish he made for men though..

really low neck line so it looked a bit too feminine, but great material and design

[50_lions]

j is correct, the JC store shut down about a month ago.

[Tyro1]

I thought they had closed? The article mentions that it was a pop up store, but thats a hell of a fit out for few month pop up store?

[50_lions]

Yeah I noticed it mentioned 'pop-up'... Not sure that's entirely correct as I got the impression when talking to James that he was there to stay for good.

A month or so later the shop had closed and i'm fairly sure the label is no more.

[btbam]

yeah the fit out is pretty umm serious for a pop up store.

[Tyro1]

maybe that's just what you call it, in a designers / architects press release, when a store fit out only lasts a few months

[Ivans On High]

IC: NDG x Oliver Peoples sunglasses.

Realised they arent for me. Paid $415, looking to get that back. Free shipping within australia.

[50_lions]

fit pics? just fashun glasses?

[btbam]

J,

give me more details on this, asappppp in black?! pics? Measurments?

[Tyro1]

they have this jacket in black at them moment in EM i'm pretty sure bt. not sure what size though?

[btbam]

i nearrrly bought the bag in that green...

Not sure how the CCP jacket sizing goes. I tried a couple on in Leclaire but they were not really what i was looking for. So i got the BBS even tho it doesnt fit perfect :\

[TTT]

Hey all been away from sufu for a little while and so much talk!

BT/DJI pretty sweet the NVREND/Obscur colab has received heaps of interest. Might keep my funds away from this amazing piece as I'm putting every dime of mine into a business venture. Plus (if all goes acc. to plan) may be able to get a hand-me-down from someone on here or sz haha.

Mentioned this to BT the other night, but anyone know much about Dion Lee the womenswear designer (sydney?) His stuff looks pretty next level for an aussie designer.

Also if you guys aren't already aware new issue of scoute is up Big feature on Eastern Market -> if I could rep Australia and the entire Melb thread I would haha

[jcotteri]

J,

give me more details on this, asappppp in black?! pics? Measurments?

done.. mailed you mate..

i'm not really much of a fan of the EM article.. Don't really like the way Stephen worded or answered most of the questions.. also he went on such irrelevant tangents.

[jbone]

wept i think i remember you saying a while ago u were after the CON STW bag.. it's up on pitbull in the leather if you're still interested

jcot.. if you don't mind me asking, how much did you budget for and how much did you end up spending on your o/s trip.. just on clothing alone that is?

[wept]

thanks jbone. i found out that SWT (i think it was them) had the non leather version on thier site but it was hiding under the womens section. i copped it when i found it. i think id rather the non leather version anyway as having a leather bag while wearing leather shoes and a leather jacket (if i can find it) would be too much IMO. gimp style.

[jbone]

alright sweet... u mean TGS yeh? did u end up getting it in the black or the grey?

[wept]

got black. everyting ive been buying has been black lately, by choice.

[DJI]

all day everyday

[wept]

its a hard life being a gimp, stuck in a crate all day

[btbam]

ahahha T

I did somthing at about 2am perth time.. i gave in and copped dick ovens moon boots from chant.

My reasoning was that im on my feet all day so i need more shoes..

Eh :\
