Marais is great. They have some amazing Lanvin sneakers in at the moment... Even though it's not totally my thing. Nice staff, too.

[50_lions]

Also, you may want to check out swensk if you like Sweish label such at Filippa K and FASR.

Their website is www.swensk.com

[DJI]

yeah, Marais is a good one to visit, really nice SA's.

swensk is pretty cool, some funky fifth avenue shoe repair stuff.

order and progress might be worth a look if you're visiting someday.

[Tyro1]

And if you walk / lift up to level 3, you'd be stupid not to go further up and have a beer on the rooftop!

[Pandemonium]

ugh timetable at the moment (before editing) is so stupid look at this.

monday gap and tuesday gap what the fuck so offensive!

[btbam]

Looking like a few of the pre ordered items wont be available as they have not produced many ( if anything ) in excess. Will have final word for you all this evening on what is available :\

[DJI]

damn, I'm guessing they skimped on XS stuff again this season too

bad luck on the timetable pand, 4 and 6 hour breaks are bullshit. my timetable isn't too bad this semester (besides thursdays):

monday: 10:30 - 15:30

tuesday: 9:30 - 17:30

wednesday: 10.30 - 12.30

thursday: 14.30 - 19.30

friday: 15:30 - 17:30

better look out for stalkers posting your timetable online though

[DJI]

btw wtf is up with the 55% overfull shit, does melbourne really pack out the lecture theaters that much?

[Pandemonium]

no worries DJI i'm not like everywhere on the internets.

also yeah, melbourne uni is pretty shit in terms of administration and organising classes, etc.

[DJI]

that's ridiculous that they let more people than can fit book into the classes. RMIT only allows a certain number of people to book into each class, if you're not up at 6am setting up your timetable on the day it opens then you're basically guaranteed a shitty timetable.

[Pandemonium]

apparently at 12:00am, they're opening the threshold for editing timetables so i'm going to ahve to change everything to suit me now.

[DJI]

ah k, at least you're not stuck with it. man I'll be glad to done with uni, it's my last year (hopefully)

[Pandemonium]

dude what's the job prospect like after you graduate you think?

is there a demand for you? are you gonna chill?

my future starts in 7 years.

[DJI]

reasonable considering the state of the economy. the company that I'm doing vac work with atm took 20 new grads this year, 4 in the department I'm working in alone.

I'd be keen to get started as soon as I graduate, grad positions usually start early jan to mid feb so you still have a couple of months to kick back before starting work.

[Pandemonium]

oh that's great (y)

yeah, i've had three months break since high school finished. i really need to get back into the books or something before i die of boredom.

[DJI]

haha, yeah the long uni break is great until you run out of shit to do. would have been nice to have a proper break this time though, the only holiday I had was 1 week in sydney and the 2 weeks over xmas & ny. I get next weekend off before I start back at uni again

[Tyro1]

I'm sick of seeing you guys slacking around, it's about time you got back to study (finally working concept)

[Pandemonium]

i'm slacking around because i'm so miserable about my stature.

[DJI]

haha, I've been working full time for 3 months

[bboysdontcryy]

Guys, guys. I might possibly be involved in covering Melbourne Spring Fash Week. Behind the scenes and after parties. Anything noteworthy of the events? Or anything to underscore from yesteryear? Both good and bad are fine.

[Tyro1]

I'm not sure any of us have bothered to turn up to an event hahaha, seksu might have been to a few from memory. If you can get us into parties, i'll be in for a week of parties and free booze meet up...

I'm sure fat will have somthing, and anyone and everyone has a hook up for that.

I'm not sure how many of our favourite labels will be showing, with the economy...

[DJI]

last year the only noteworthy show for me was fat's. this year's line up is looking better though, several of the "Paris Runway" shows sound good and there are some interesting designers in the independent runway shows. I'm particularly looking forward to Lui Hon's first presentation, the shots online look great and he's a really nice guy (one of the SA's at Assin).

are you going along d? If there was stuff worth seeing I would be keen. Seeing Paris, then NY fashion weeks always makes me want to crash some here in melbourne

[DJI]

I might try to make it to a couple of them, gotta check the itinerary to see which shows I'd be most interested in. you gonna make an appearance T?

[Tyro1]

If people are going, I'll come with. James, are you going to come over for networking opportunities? hahah

[DJI]

just had a look through the program.

Paris Runway 5 looks decent for Friedrich Gray and NOM*d but everything else is insufferable shit, I've never liked a single piece that alpha60 has produced and Jack London is nothing but a shameless Dior knockoff (although I do buy their business shirts because they're cheap and fit reasonably well ).

I'd like to see the Claude Maus presentation but it's the only designer I'm interested in at Paris Runway 7. not sure why they're been presented by Assin though, might be because they did a collaboration with them last year.

I may to go to the Independent Runway at Docklands, even then it's only really for Lui Hon's presentation. saint augustine academy, trimapee and who am eye are kinda meh.

may go to some of the shows if they turn into sufu meet ups haha.

[Pandemonium]

i could not find material boy.

what's up with that.

[Tyro1]

D, do you have a link to the program? my googling is C- tonight

[50_lions]

Just a quick head-up... Jack London is actually owned by Dangerfield. Trimapee, who am eye, SAA deserve more praise than the corporates trying to cash in on the obvious.

[Tyro1]

Trimapee, who am eye and SAA would be better, regardless of the clothes.
