Nom de Guerre F/W 08.09

[sbw4224]

That's all I could find for now, but I'm sure more will pop up soon. Apparently this collection is based on the American theater in WWII. It looks like we can expect a lot of monochromatic tones.

[broneck]

couldn't they shop out that outlet?

in all seriousness, the photos are boring as fuck, very much like american WWII cinema I'd probably sleep through this. . .

individual nice pieces though, as always.

edit: particularly curious about the boots.

[JFposc]

I really like the outerwear in the 1, 2 and 4th looks. I'm an NDG fan, tho some of their stuff each season is mediocre or overpriced, I think they always have at least a few items that are v nice and high quality.

[viv1984viv]

is that a plug socket or something?

It must be intentional right? .... but why?

The short duffle is cool. Im increasingly appreciative of this brand.

[polishmike]

The model is one of my best friends and my old roommate and I had no clue he was working with them. He said the boots are just some random military boots.

nom de guerre always nails the outerwear for me, not so crazy about the huge black tie + brown belt combo though

I like all of those looks.

Those pic's look like they were shot in the hallway right outside NDG.

have you not read that their price points are dropping (rather significantly, i guess) starting with their stuff from s/s 08?

its nice to make it affordable for once, though for me lowering their prices so much without changing anything about manufacturing... i mean... it really exposes how suspect their whole marketing strategy is

arbitrarily inflating the prices of their pieces to appeal to a niche market, and once theyre in and a desirable brand, lower their prices and expand their stockists

a little bit of a turn off

[lucky_cloud]

I dunno about this. Super boring photos. I kinda dig the brown belt thing, though. Have to see the pieces in some other context.

[JFposc]

I am friends with one of the owners of NDG and I can assure you this is not the reason for their pricing. It simply has to do with the resources they have available (read: funding) and the quantities/materials they are using. Their prices were so high before because they simply didn't have the proper funding to turn out such high quality clothing in large quantities and cheaply, so instead they chose to keep the same level of quality but do small batches and keep the prices high to cover costs.

Now they are more successful, sold in barneys, etc, and so they can afford to do things larger and more efficiently, thus lowering prices.

In fact, unlike most brands, I have respect for what they do- they take it seriously and want to produce quality, whatever the cost. nice that the cost is going down though...

[sbw4224]

Thanks for the info! Not only have they extended their reach into Barney's, but they're selling very well in the UK as well. I'm sure the overseas accounts are definitely making their business more credible.

I think once more pictures come out, especially the lookbook pictures and not these sample photos the clothes will look less sterile.

i love ndg but im not liking this, i dont understand their focus on outerwear

[midnight]

i love the jackets in 1, 2, and 4. Very versatile

[le_chic_garcon]

Nom de Guerre is nice, but some of their stuff has been disappointing. This is not their best collection, but I still like some stuff. I hope they atleast have some good t-shirts this collection, their last one blew.

[thedude]

i like the first jacket

[Calden]

^

That M65 will finally be mine this fall. It looks thinner than the 07 too, I didn't pick it up this fall because it was way too thick for me. It felt like a wool army blanket.

[alterion]

ndg at affordable prices, i like the sound of that

[Darkeside]

i dont understand their focus on outerwear

I'd imagine these are the earliest looks for their outerwear, as those are the items that will likely need the longest lead times for production, with the shirts and denim etc coming later on?

NDG haven't put this on their website yet, where are these pic's from?

Loving the jacket in look 4.

[geekbonchic]

Boring, but not bad. I have been on the lookout for a pair of boots, though.

[96st]

cool stuff

[78]

they always get my money

[Morningstar]

Definitely interested in that trench. It looks waxed or lacquered or something.

[Nonn8tive]

the jacket in pic 2 looks really nice...

[nick class]

pics are now up on website.

crack. All of it.

[mellowbonsai]

not feeling this collection as much, but this jacket looks promising

cardis, sweaters and outerwear look decent though, that stuff is usually their forte

[Corbin Law]

i like that trench alot.

are the boots ndg or are they just random combat boots

i also like the return to a normal sized tie. skinny ties are getting a bit out of hand.

Our Spot in Sydney, Australia received their shipment on Friday.... reconstructed jkt hoods in blk kand grey... knits... safari shirts... t-shirts mid week...

The knit's a real suprise! Hopefully it's tougher than what was written on the last pg...

[Guest]
