should've used a lighter skinned model.

[minou]

i just want this sandals.

[Guest binaural]

all i've gotta say is that i have heard some SHADY shit about Mic recently regarding his business practices (ie: taking deposits from shops and not shipping any product). that's really fucked.

other than that, shit's alright, but seeming a little tired at this point.

that's fucking horrible. i've just heard some things from friends in LA, who he dicked over. fuck material boy, man. shit pisses me off.

[poof]

its in Singapore. but the shop recently closed down..

but i still like MB alot...

just lost a ebay bid for some sexy ass MB leather pants

[ben_253]

wow, fuck. i had no idea about that.

my friend met him and told me that he's a nice guy..

[poof]

yeah he 's nice nothing wrong about his personality, just how he deal with his recent issue sucks

i dunno. ripping off small businesses is so ridiculously unethical, it's not even funny. i've now heard several accounts of MB scams this past season, so whatever. old Mic sounds like a complete fucking asshole to me... i think more people ought to know about that too, watch out.

"nice guys" can often be thieves, btw. my friend said everything was going really smooth/cordial/friendly, until Mic got the deposit. then, he disappeared. this was the first time they had ordered with MB too...

[malarkey]

has there been anything further on it? have they heard back from him or such?

[marsa]

Ive worked with mic for a while and like most designers out there, he´s of course not the one doing the sales, its his agent.....

the above mentioned season was cut short due to the death of his father.

actually, they WERE dealing with a sales agent before mic's dad passed. then, when all that happened, mic stepped in, handling sales. he kept dicking them around, and never shipped the order... and didnt keep his word about the option of refunding their deposit. i know this as fact cos i help out with sales from time to time. it was pretty shitty.

anyway, it's too bad... i have now heard several accounts of this. i have always mostly liked the line and it's a drag that he's not more honest or together.

[marsa]

shit that not good at all. did not know.

hope it works out.

[sachacaron]

theyre stopping?! i love material boy

[Guest binaural]

i have actually been hearing rumours that they are finished, but not sure if there's any truth to that.

[034936]

I've heard the same, no more from material boy. Mic is starting a new label apparently. "<something> homme" if i remember correctly.

-> mic eaton homme.

[malarkey]

i know another boy has become 'a label by' as in 'a label by mic eaton homme' but i don't know if you can get in australia. i've only been able to find it in new zealand at current.

Not sure why they're calling that first Lucid Objects look part of Mic Eaton Homme...

[malarkey]

turns out material boy is still going. they're showing their ss10 collections in paris this month. as i mentioned previously, mic eaton homme appears to be the overriding label or business producing the other labels ie. material boy and a label by.
