Absolutely amazing.

This is what Japanese street-fashion is all about.

Bring back the crazy shit.

The bold colors and design.

The acid trip.

BRING IT BACK.

[e0d9n0b5]

lordish. this is what lords wear.

[ken shinoda]

i luv it.. french jokers and court jesters... so very next level...

[ProfMonnitoff]

i can't wait for still to show me that the wig can, in fact, be pulled off by mortals.

by the way djrajio do you still think this is derivative? i know it's a common criticism of japanese fashion in general, but while there are certainly the inevitable influences in this collection, i don't think it's ripping anyone off.

for example, this look

[Servo2000]

I've got no problems with this. If you're taking it to this fucking level you can fucking have it and I will shake your hand and say to you, "I don't know what you're doing. I don't even think you know what you're doing, but you, my friend, are doing it."

[ken shinoda]

i have no problem wit dat.. if u like being called ema, ruth or aunt jemima on the sunday brunch...

Actually, i'm seeing a lot of clockwork orange in this.

ALL JAPANESE FASHION IS DERIVATIVE.

With Yamamoto/Kawakubo, et.al. as an exception.

But hell, they even swipe off American prep/classic from season to season.

Unless mother-fuckers are wearing kimonos and samurai armor.

That would be NEXT LEVEL THOUGH.

But I like this.

Sadly he's still ripping off American rock.

number (n)ine is one and i think the only one i prefer the usmmer collections to the winter but yeh i like it and im certain it will grow on me even more cant wait to see the pieces own on their own and see how it would fit them in but its envitable il buy them in blacks white and the odd off white and beige

[Charlie Delta]

First thing I thought when I saw that was "Damn, David looks hot!"...

This collection fucks with my mind, I'm not gay...

[BostonWardrobe]

Taka has done it again!

Already, Paris is shaping up to be better than Milan (when isnt it?) and its only day one.

I marvel at Number (N)ine... this collection is so beautiful and so obsessively detailed that I can only bow to MIyashita-san. I'm curious to see how the showroom pieces will look, and if we can edit it enough to sell to these hamptonites.

[superBobo]

this proves I dont get runway fashion. I loved f/w 08, but this is just gayishly weird. A huge leap from very wearable americana to lederhosen and fairy tale layering.

[Natvralism]

Individually, some of these pieces would work, for me.

Certainly I don't know many that could pull this off as a whole.

I would really like to see these boots in finer detail:

[Sayword]

very interesting

nice kickz

I agree to both.

[bencap]

styling is pretty awesome, but I still LOLed. I can't wait to see people tryin to pull some of this off.

[Fookums]

This collection is so fucking absurdly decadent. I love it.

I wonder how the back of this jacket looks like:

If it's the same burgundy as the front it'd be pretty badass.

[Quik]

Pure awesome. Especially the jacket.

[threexdope]

those pants are the shit too

this is the kind of shit ive been waiting for a brand to do for years, ive always wanted to add to my vintage garments that echo hendrix's style , this captures that era perfectly

the jackets, pants and even the shoes are great

i cant wait to see all the accessories

[threexdope]

in the pic above the blue piece is like a body shield almost, it has no use what so ever, i love it

[Fookums]

I love the difference in SZs reaction to this collection is compared to SuFu's. Near unanimous hate vs. "wtf?" curious interest/disgust.

The more I'm looking at this, the more I'm loving this complete mess of colors and layers and patterns.

Haha SZ's critique of collections is fuckin hilarious. They call practically every show boring and uninspired, then go back to kissing CCP's object-dyed ass for 200 pages.

[JuvenileDelinquent]

One of my favourite collections for SS 09. It's so theatrical and like with most Number nine collections, it has this sense of nostalgia to it. I love the first look soo much. . I agree with what superbobo said about the fairytale layering.Can't wait to see the individual pieces

[syddhartha]

dude.

that's the first thought that came into MY head... i can't believe no one caught it thought. or maybe they did. anyways. i really like the collection.

Actually, i'm seeing a lot of clockwork orange in this.

[Lab]

The layering of all the pieces...so good

This green vest is sweet, I want a closer look at the buttons.

oh, and to whoever said f/w 08 was wearable, get your eyes checked. shit sucked hard. worst attempt at cropped pants I have seen.

[the breaks]

You're the 8th or 9th person I've seen bring it up so I think "they" might have caught it.
