Article in NY Times on Karl Lagerfeld's new lines

[triniboy27]

Hey all,

I'm not going to post the whole thing (unless someone wants it) but there's one part here about the fit of the jeans that I found interesting so I thought I'd at least post that:

"The men's collection was nearly complete in a muddy gray palette, with charcoal wool pinhead suitings, dark wool flannel madras shirts, striped sweaters, shrunken sweatshirts and jeans made of deeply dyed selvage denim from Japan in cuts simultaneously baggy in the crotch and skinny with scrunched legs. (For those who are anxious for details, the denim is coated with resin to appear slightly damp, an effect that will improve with wear.) With a strong dark edge, the comparisons to Ms. Ward's association with Helmut Lang will be inevitable; many of his devotees are expecting the Karl Lagerfeld line will serve as a replacement for Mr. Lang's basic, functional — but well-designed — clothes."

I've posted it in Supershopper as it's probably more relevant there...

The resin coating sounds interesting, but I'm kind of leery of the baggy crotch slim legs thing, considering some of the recent offerings from other designers I've seen...
