Hey Rob apparently you helped my girlfriend out by sending her pics of WM rings in EM? Or is there another Rob that also hangs about in EM?

[fenrost]

Aaah! I remembered!! Yeah it was me.

Stephen and lucy was away in Paris at that time!

And the other SA dint have any idea how to send pics to her. It so happen I was there and offered to help them out : /

uhmm. .dont say that! every designer today have their own stat_ment,

j/k

but that being said, i never really handled them much before, but collectively on what i have seen, it's just, another ethos/aesthetic that i am already bored of... not for me, will be for someone else..

True true, i shouldn't be so cynical! From what i have seen he has been doing some very interesting things, just seems all a little "done" before...but its nice to see melbourne fashion designers doing well

[fenrost]

yeah, its good to know his doing well, if he is.

australian in general lack of radical designers. someone who can think ahead.

[fenrost]

i guess it's inevitable, like i mentioned in sz, it's all eating itself..

[Ivans On High]

who invited you for coffee? I'm so lost right now.

[Ivans On High]

I heard a horror story about some guy who met MJK from Tool...

I think it's possible to gauge which 'celebs' you would want to meet in person. CCP is not one of them...

[fenrost]

^yeap.

the paul harnden discussion in sz is ridiculous as well,

i dont understand, why theories, speculation of paul harnden's universe, on his lifestyle to, especially viral marketing gimmick, are sooo absurd and out of context, when simple reality about ph, even if you ask anyone who don't care about fashion, the older generations.. and the simple answer is - "buying clothes online, it just doesn't make sense".

and in regard of ph aesthetic.. relate his life style. no comment, also quite absurd.

too much assumption and inane theories going on there. yuck.

[fenrost]

yeah. read way too much, i got turned off halfway.

i am still jealous of ur ph acquisition, dave.

my trainers are gone. i am sad... need to bite the last pair i found.... but more $$$$

[jackg]

yeah, I dont understand people who are pro buying online. I understand price and availability would make people do it, but everyone muist rather shopping retail locations?

also I think people read way too much in to PH, he clothes inspired by previous eras, they aren't reproductions nor does his eccentricities affect the end product.

I think i might be jumping in mid conversation here, but i am actually pro online shopping. I definitely dont see it replacing the conventional store anytime some but for a couple of reasons i just prefer buying stuff online.

For one i have been working in a retail store for the last two years which kinda kills the whole shopping thing, also this might sound a little strange but i always feel really awkward going into shops, i think i have a bit of social anxiety, so its never a particularly pleasant experience. Its also nice to buy things that your not going to run into anyone wearing....just my thoughts on matter

[eversuns]

I too seem to prefer online shopping, and guess what! I work at a retail store.

I like being able to look at clothes without feeling pressured to buy them, and I also think you get a far better price buying online, and also I quite like looking at the second hand stuff, I don't always like buying brand new.

Yes yes yes, totally agree. Thankfully you can articulate it all a little better than me.

[fenrost]

i am bored of this subject., really. all i can say is, it's all self-realization. if one prefer online shopping, that's fine. just saying i am free from that in some level. and more happier to touch clothes in racks.. than the monitors.. seeing them on myself, in person, than in imaginations.

[eversuns]

Yeah it's all very subjective. Different stokes for different folks.

two quick q's if i can gander a moment:

quality sneaker laces, black - somewhere in the city? don't need to be particularly long.

heading europe-way in a bit, will be visiting a few friends. any swell ideas for gifts? thinking something from melbourne is gonna go down better than from the duty-free in their home city. mainly girls.

thanks.

[eversuns]

For laces just check out Coles, the ones I put on my black Converse are still holding up strong after 6 months of constant wear.

I went for the flat style, but you can also get round ones.

gifts is a tricky one, what are they into?

Agreed coles or just a shoe shop...as for the presents how much are you looking to spend?

[home]

sweet. i'll scope coles.

ahh, like less than 100? couple are into architecture. another is into music. cbf lugging books / booze around. although i bet the swede would be well into booze knowing the laws over there...

ta!

Haha, cheers. She ended up kopping from A instead, thanks anyways.

How do people bust up their laces? In all my years of wearing sneaks I have never had to replace laces...weird. Obviously I don't live life hard enough lol.
