I got the Raf horsehair boots, pretty sure I'm gonna keep em. They're dressier than I expected; they essentially look like a shiny dress shoe with an interesting texture but they look ok with jeans still, IMO.
Does anyone know if you should waterproof horsehair?

just found out my workplace has institutional access to Vogue Archive, so here're all the jil sander ads in American Vogue (1985-2011) that show up in my search, for those interested. quick summary of how the brand has evolved over the years

Pre-Raf (1985 - 2006; jil / vukmirovic / in-house design team?)
Thanks for sharing! Really interesting to trace the development of the brand through those ads. I love the campaigns that Raf oversees.
Sweet Jesus. How big can you get the images, I have been looking for old campaign pics too frame on my wall. Specifically balenciaga and Lanvin things.

I wish I could tell which campaigns are under Vukmirovic / design team as opposed to jil her own, raf is unmistakable though

i think i have some magazine shoots saved somewhere, will post if i find them.
also style.com has some video summaries/analysis of raf ss12 and fw12 (ht: Eliminator twitter) definitely watch in HD (720p), the ss12 video has some nice shots of the chain derbies and the leather vests, also has interviews with cathy horyn etc.
As people have noted, there were three versions of the chain derbies: with a flat chain around the welt, with a 'standing up' chunky chain around the welt and with chain around the toe only. They were all available to buy in the showroom in three chain colours (gold, silver and black) so all have gone into production in theory, but most retailers seem to have chosen the flat chain version. Oki-Ni and some of the more "out there" retailers may have ordered the chunky chain ones.
Colette stocks the ones with the chain on the toe, as well as the plain derbies with no chain.

I have yet to see the full sideway versions of these derbies in stock, which are much more obvious and probably less wearable. I wonder if they are even going to be under production.
Would love to get my hands on these,
but I might have to settle with more subtle variations
surrender got both, so it looks like the chunky chained version was in production after all Edited by _yoo - 2/20/12 at 9:30am
