Ok it is time to start jerking off: Undercover for Uniqlo

High Snobiety

i always thought the things that make undercover good are things that you can't really do for 49.99

but that's just me

[ohsnap]

i'm looking for books on amazon about fashion, menswear, style, etc.

anybody recommend anything in particular? thanks.

ps - thoughts on glenn o'brien's book? (http://www.amazon.com/How-Be-Man-Behavior-Gentleman/dp/0847835472/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310847963&sr=1-1)

nah. But really the price does effect materials and construction but doesn't really matter for the design half. Look at the Morishita collaboration they did as an example.

has someone read this already? i've also been thinking about picking this up

[Desi]

Antonioli.eu needs to get their act together and put up that Dries Van Noten buy. I want to see if they picked up the Cloud Strife turtleneck.

Tomorrow or this weekend i'm going to go to my university library and steal Raf Simons Redux. I've finished all my classes forever but haven't formally graduated yet so i've got to get on to this fast.

I'm going to try remove the magnetic strip in the spine, but worst case scenario is i have to borrow it and then i'll just never return it.

Hell worser worst case scenario is they track me down and make me pay for it which couldn't be more than it goes for used online...

Can't lose really.

[conqueror]

your uni library has that? awesome.

[jackg]

haha soo good! if you cant get the magnetic strip out line a bag with aluminum wrap (pretty thick on both sides) and that stops the beeper going off.

what uni are you at?

ss12 is killing it for me, too many things I want.

theyve got this and a copy of the fourth sex at my library and im always tempted to snag the fourth sex since as near as I can tell Im the only person whose checked it out (like 9 times) in three years

[Desi]

Do it! It deserves to be in the hands of someone who cares.

[bill]

servo, i highly encourage you to do this.

scan it and post it on sufu, after.

[Servo2000]

I'm definitely going to scan more of it once I'm back at school and start New Reference up again either way - I'll just scan all of it if people are interested though.

[bill]

that would be dope.

i went for the second time to the jean paul gaultier exposition today to dake pictures of everything (+ details/close-ups) but my battery died before the end.

Will go back next week and create a thread for this.

I still do no get Damir Doma.

i really like doma, his references are usually abstract. he goes out to textile/fabric expos and chooses fabrics that appeal to him, then he creates a garment that suits the fabric. at their most concrete, his references are from antiquity or medieval.

damir is creating stuff so far outside the current fare (like punk, romantic, gothic, sportswear or trad suiting) i think it gets overlooked.

I've stolen a couple of art books before. Your best friend is a box cutter and a secluded "study desk" area in your library with the privacy dividers. Bring a clutter of other books to the table so it looks like you're working on shit. If you think someone is following you, don't ever run.

(basically same rules as shoplifting)

I've read both Raf Simons Redux and the Fourth Sex. Nothing really super rare in these books-- and the used prices on Amazon are crazy. I think the only "fashion book" worth buying is DPM, simply because its a huge fucking tome full of reference material to return to, again and again. I'm still trying to hunt down a library that carries that rare Margiela book that was released in Hong Kong (I think for Silly Thing?). All of the books on Margiela are good too if you can steal that. The archive of crazy pictures is awesome.

[ejm285]

[evisu 2000]

Never thought buttons would prove a deal breaker.

Elaborate please.

[sybaritical]

I was particularly taken with a piece from Undercover FW11, but looking at it on Rakuten, the buttons have "for Rebels" Embossed on them. That's some adolescent shit right there.

[aoi]

Ah, I see. And agree. Jun has a tendency to include lots of redundant details. Thought it was kind of ironic for him to be the man to call a collection "less but better" as I see his vision being pretty far from Dieter Rams.

EDIT: I still love his designs though.

[Desi]

I like to be called a rebel.

Actions speak louder.
