They are taking NDG in a direction I'm starting to care less and less about. I'm not saying this season is terrible @ all, but it def isn't for me.

[geekbonchic]

Fantastic lookbook, utterly boring clothing.

[Whodinihimself]

meh....i like the silver bomber...everything else is uncivilized.

[sawyer]

Fantastic lookbook, utterly boring clothing.

This has been NdG since the start... Some nice outerwear from time to time, maybe even a decent print shirt, but yeah. Monochrome basics.

[6ixes&7evens]

a few select pieces are good but alot of it is meh. and whats with that fur......

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

Like previous posters echoed, I like NdG for their well-made outerwear. Everything else I can get with similar fit/construction/quality from labels I like better.

But that overcoat/sweater/coat is definitely delicious...

[raginberriodoom]

I always love the color/texture of NDG knitwear, except all their pieces always seem too "ordinary" to justify the price.

But then again, I've never owned NDG clothing so I don't know...

[polishmike]

shit sucks. we all know the prices are crazy but this time it's just stupid looking. maybe they will learn from failure...

[constant struggle]

fuck the haters, this collection is hot

[FUCK]

would like to see the rubber jackets in person, but lots of ho hum here.

[Ivans On High]

i love this collection. I really like NDGs stuff though the prices are a bit high here in Oz, and some of the outerwear is way oversized.

[artificialsky]

What, no "Deconstructed (Something) Hoody" in the collection?!

Maybe they'll try to do something positive about their prices this season, but it seems unlikely.

They've been just flailing about since around late 2006 with only the occasional "hit" piece (see above). Almost as soon as they decided to raise their prices Geller came out and basically stole all their hype.

Most of you are too young, but vets will remember that NdG was basically the Robert Geller, in terms of surreal hype, of 05-06 on the board.

The lookbook is like some weird approximation of the mountaineer-inspired stuff already done by N.Hoolywood and Mihara.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

It is what it is.

And that aint much.

That's true but at least Geller is more affordable for what it is. I go to NdG every season and every time there is only one piece I would buy but the price is just too high.

I still have a crewneck from like 05 or 06 that i got for like $80.

[Ry'on]

I think the collection is really good. The look book is good and there are a lot of nice knits and jackets. The shall cardigans and pullover, V necks in lambswool, waxed vest, field jacket and trench are all really nice. There is also a really good woolen blazer, good pants and a number of really nice accessories.

[the breaks]

bring back the OG deck hoodie

[culturalmulatto]

looks like they are opening their own online shop soon: http://www.nomdeguerre.net/eshop.php

just a really weird video playing for now till that part of the site is up

[Dead_Wizard]

That Eshop link has been up for over a year now.

when is ndg outerwear ever oversided.. more like downsized

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

zing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ivans On High]

oversided? hahaha. zing. hahaha :|

[gramps]

What a bunch of fantastic assholes. Foregoing the discussion of materials, price, and even whether or not the clothes are even interesting, the most insufferable thing about NDG is the terrible loggorhea of military/philosophical shit that is sprinkled over every season. Their lookbook reads like the unwanted mutant spawn of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and a Destroyer paperback. Can these guys families even stand them?

[wmmk]

^agreed. At least the dropped the Hitlerjugend motif for this season.

[transactionfee]

i still want a ribbon hoody

[dkatz]

I'm digging on the Wings + Horns collaboration training sweatshirt thingy... anyone dare know the cost?

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

That's true but at least Geller is more affordable for what it is. I go to NdG every season and every time there is only one piece I would buy but the price is just too high.

I still have a crewneck from like 05 or 06 that i got for like $80.

That's what I don't understand. i fall in love with 1 or 2 pieces every season, but $400 for a sweater that looks awesomely understated...is still $400.
