Christmas casual is probably the best way to get into clothes retail without experience, mind you if you have an interest and other work experience it shouldn't be too hard to get into a store.

[conqueror]

where do you ideally want to work, retail-wise? melbourne has tons of options. i worked at angus and robertson for a while and i now work at AA; both were not really bothered with previous retail experience (even though i had it).

[eversuns]

Then I would say you are a shoe in, just go around to stores you are interested in and drop in your resume (ask to see the manager - I know when kids apply to work in my department and they leave them with SA's then the resume's usually get binned)

Where do you want to work?

[homme.homme]

any drkshdw poplin pants left at assin?

dont know about melb but syd is sold out. maybe one cropped pair left. in black.

i got a second job! if any of you guys are down mornington peninsula way, pop into the McCrae Pavilion. Nice food in the dinning side, and then a bar side with a good cocktail selection and nice drinks.

say hi to the guy with brown curly hair!

[wept]

i might take up on that offer jackg as im so fucking local to the pavilion its a joke.

[penis]

[jackg]

anyone have a chance to drop in to EM lately? Did they receive Elena Dawson menswear. I might drop in tomorrow and have a look

dropped by EM few days ago,

still no sight on elena dawson for mens.. still waiting.

saw some new m.a+, nice stuff.

rundholz selvedge bag are tempting.

ccp2010, i think we will fully expect something in the early months of 2011, feb-march.

also, object-dyed horse are available to order.

[fenrost]

yeah, the receptions on the womens were incredible.

actually, the new ma+ wallets are pretty nice, esp the cutted leather with white paint in the interior.

[fenrost]

above pic are from shelter II actually.

but quite close, just that EM's have more in several sizes and colours - white, red and black.

kinda cool on the rack.

from what i discuss with stephen, his ccp 2010 is gonna be really interesting as well. can't wait to see, although i have placed some really wackernold orders myself..

[fenrost]

the object-dye horse i believe, if rrp might be close to 6 digits, in euro..

did ask sergio about the pig bag, tho, but it was one off in the world, stored in a museum in vienna.

[fenrost]

there are.. from what i can count, 5-6 different designs of leather jackets in 2010..

[fenrost]

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[fenrost]

^agreed

just that, especially in west, the spectrum sometimes are being limited to the marketability.. that's why i have so much respect for the japanese.

[fenrost]

absolutely, what is bought for stores in the west seems to be a finely filtered part of the greater whole, based on an overriding aesthetic.

really well said.

[warpnweft]

anyone know what happened to Heist on Brunswick Street? doesn't seem to be there anymore?

[fenrost]

btw dave,

i think EM received their elena menswear finally!

and I got a little spoiler from EM's ccp2010 order, stephen basically went nuts, and ordered heaps of serious grail/ballers item, ballers gonna love them . all akin to EM's red overlock leather jacket.. mmm

leathers, leathers and more variety of leathers.

seriously cant wait to see them soon

[fenrost]

has anyone seen/handled this label at cose ipanema?? very puzzling label to be at:

really cool thermochemical stuff, changes colour according to the temperature of the environment, looks like 2 piece garment in one / reversible concept, me likes,

looks like they are gonna stock some CP Company x Aitor Throup stuff too

[fenrost]

wow, that was quick!

[Ivans On High]

Seems like EM knows who there main clients are - collectors. They seem uninterested in converting anybody and instead play it 'safe' (awesome pun, I know) by catering to their existing clientele.

[fenrost]

went and checked their elena dawson mens, really like them, kopped her silk shirts.

the women latex dress is sick. and the dusting powder is so fun.

they also received this plate of fingers. haha.

felt rubbery and.. creepy.

more ma+, men and women, this week! (sigh)

[Chin]

fingers look delicious, i smell like the powder now. can't wait to see the shoes.

[fenrost]

yeah, i did.

the powder are freebies too. washable.

lucy was saying when they were unpacking the goods, it was all powder everywhere... haha

it's very candid and child-like. kinda fun. - when ppl are trying the clothes, the SA throw powder at them (the clothes)!!

[fenrost]

the powder smell like fragrance

bottle it says....

Dusting Powder Ingredients:

Corn Flour, Sodium Bicarbonate, Myrrh Resin, Ulmus Fulva Bark, Betonite Clay, Lavender Oil, Chamomile Oil.

Talc Free

100% Natural.

Not tested on animals.

she also created her own shoe wax. which smell good too. I guess she love to DIY scent stuff.

[Ivans On High]

Not sure I really follow with collectors?

Collectors as opposed to consumers. People who buy anything CCP for their collection.

That silk shirt looks really nice. What does it say on the inside?

well, besides the really interesting label at the collar, it doesnt have any instruction how to wash, so she wrote inside the shirt.. lol...

i think it says.. dry clean and/or(?) handwash

i needed a nice comfortable shirt to trash around, this one is great.

[fenrost]

this is the same style right?

hmm. close.. that one seems like a jacket? mine doesnt have pockets at the waist.. but the sleeves look like that, all cut up.

white, cannot see the powder. i was thinking the powder will look silly, then again, why so serious?

i guess i am just gonna powder all my ccps...
