Can't say i'm ultra keen about that coat JV. Perhaps would consider if in black but the colour/cut is questionable. I say wait for something better to come up.

Does anyone know where I can cop BBS for a good price? I love the below cardigan and want v much.

[DJI]

did you check whether A had it still? otherwise you just gotta wait till darklands goes on sale, not many BBS stockists yet...

if anyone is interested in the CON bird in cage bracelet I'm looking to sell it for $65 shipped:

[50_lions]

wow the styling in both images is opposite. Thanks for the heads up D I didn't think there was too many stockists yet. I'll hang around and hope for a sale of some sort.. 680AUD wtf.

[034936]

yeah dude. there is no way that that cardigan is worth the money. i doubt it would even be worth it on sale. the cut is interesting, but the besides that i cant see any discernible details, and the material seems sub par.

[034936]

I still like that macintosh... LVR has had one in in pearl for over a year now... http://www.luisaviaroma.com/index.aspx#getData.aspx|CallType=Product&prodId=0EH15&des=250&cat=&gender=men&group=&season=sale&seasProdID=47I At 50% off is still $900... and I know I wouldn't wear it often enough for that to be a good idea.

i think i;ve decided that a mac coat is the type of coat i'm primarily looking for right now. at least for a light, brisbane weather coat.

[DJI]

yeah $680 for a cotton/linen cardigan is whack, not really feeling the design either.

[Flock]

I really like that mac coat, i actually really like that whole look i posted, i don't really like being decked head to toe in one designer, but if i could score that coat i'd probably bite that look

I like Frillr's backstage albums and they just posted this one for Rick AW09. The images are so big (i.e. 1800x1180 if you click on them), they're kind of a chore to go through, but there is alway a few shots that stand out...

Like the parka in the middle there...

[DJI]

big night JV?

[jcotteri]

god we have no life....

[Ivans On High]

$2200 AUD - worth it?

[jbone]

i look at the pic and cut the collar off and i love it...

then i scroll up and it throws me off... i'd like it more if the collar was rounded

i'm happy to pay that price for a coat cuz i know ill get alot of wear out of it... and from what i gather you'd be wearing for work right ivan?

[jbone]

50... your deleted question haha.. i'd colour over the stitching myself

i like the RO coat on the left in the same pic that JV liked... i think it's the same RO coat as you said you liked before ivan?

[Ivans On High]

I really like some of those coats, but I wanted something a little longer than my CM parka. The pic of that RO coat that 50 posted waaay back from the above show is spot on, and if I could find one of those, I would have a tough choice on my hands.

And yes, I would be wearing it to work occasionally, but I want something that I can wear elsewhere. Check out Atelier's web site and have a look at the coat I posted, the collar is really quite versatile.

[50_lions]

Off the runway the pieces look so amazing and so easily transferable into real life... apart from maybe the dress and horn neck piece hah along with other obvious theatrical pieces.

jbone haha, reallllly? I think you're right but taking a texta to them doesn't seem right yet. Perhaps when they are a bit more worn in...

Ivans i'd be choosing RO over ma+... I think it has a better personality. But the designers visions are fairly different so I guess whatever resonates with you best. All be it a strange thing to say , I personally think ma+ is a brand that doesn't work well with people in their 20's.

[DJI]

avantster and snafu rock it pretty well, but yeh I agree that it works better on the older dudes. tbh while I admire the work of MA+ and CCP I've never felt compelled to actually own any of their pieces, interesting conceptually but as items of clothing they don't really appeal to me. well, except maybe a pair of CCP side zips .

[Ivans On High]

I like the sleeveless aviators, but don't feel they are worth the money. I also like the above coat as you might have guessed, and the accordian bags. I've never felt compelled to cop any CCP, but appreciate the work.

[Ivans On High]

So seriously, when can I get this?

[DJI]

in 3 months time from the US/Europe/Japan? either that or pay rape prices for them at assin/zekka in 6 months time . while the RO coats look great on the runway I've hardly been impressed by the showroom pics I've seen, I think his tailored pieces could still use a lot of work...

[Ivans On High]

I really like the blazer in this pic Here

And the runway shot looks even better.

Was there a similar blazer from strutter? tbh alot of his stuff becomes a blur after looking at so many different collections, so I can't remember where I saw the pic. I think you posted a link to a photobucket or flicker page D.

[jcotteri]

wasn't this was it?

as for ma+ i feel it is a label easily worn by young adults and even teenagers like snafu.. I think you may be viewing too many pics of late 20yo early 30's wearing them, i feel it is quite easily transferable to someone my age. In fact i think it looks great on me, imo haha

D! i surely hope that your opinion of ccp clothing changes when you walk into Lift Ecru

[Ivans On High]

Yeah, nice work! +rep

The Kady Tailored jacket looks great. And I really like the virgin wool long cardigan.

[DJI]

the long cardigans are nice, really delicate and light wool though (this season they are particularly sheer).

J I've seen and tried on a fair few ccp and ma+ pieces at EM and LEFT, as well as seen plenty of pieces online. interesting in terms of the construction and experimentation, but yeh very little I would drop coin on even if I were ballin' outta control haha (except the CCP side zips of course ). I did like the nail ring too, however I need a size 53 ring (US 6.5, Japanese 13) so that basically rules out any mens designer jewellery for me...

[Tyro1]

well I'm thinking of taking a jewelery making short course at CAE in June. It's the same one that duncan on SZ took.

let me know if anyone else is keen

[TTT]

Hey tyro im currently taking the jewellery short course run by TAFE here. Recommend it, but ill need to drop coin on some equipment and chemicals to start producing stuff. Wow duncan has come a long way, they dont really get into the 'finishing' aspects of jewellery such as oxidising, but they do help in that regard if you ask them.

Flock - what would you suggest then? Because I dont want to be paying some hefty tax on it. Is Oki-Ni down with marking down the value of packages?

yeah not sure if I'm really that interested in producing things in any volume, just think it would be interesting. Duncan also studied industrial design, so may have been more advanced than your average schmuck like me...

[DJI]

jewellery course does look interesting but feeling pretty burnt out of uni and study in general at this point so doubt I'd have the patience for it atm , perhaps you could make something for me T . any particular pieces you keen to make or just interested in learning about it?

[btbam]

hmm

Paris booked will be leaving in 20 days.

[DJI]

^ jealous

what shows you heading to bt?

[Tyro1]

tbh just interested in basics. The course teaches basic ring and chain making techniques, so just messing around with that sort of stuff I guess.
