I hear about it every now and then but no one talks about it.

How is their stuff? Kind of slim fit, or actually very slim? I'm mainly asking because whenever I browse Yoox I always see tons of size 34/XS stuff and I'm wondering if the items are worth pulling the trigger (below retail prices).

I'd say their clothes are 'kind of slim fit'. It's like most European labels.

I have a few of their things from the earlier collections. I like it because it's quite nerdy looking.

I would say it is slim fit, but not excessively slim. The quality is also rather high since it is by Gibo.

I dig the nerdy look, and I suppose I will try their XS/34 and see how it goes.

I bought a coat on yoox. It couldn't have been any farther from the concept of slim fit. Luckily I was able to return it. The stuff I saw in their shows last year looked slim however.

+1. This is what I've found, too, though the fit seems to change slightly depending on the concept they are seeking for that season.

They had custom Lattanzis for their first Monsieur show.

I wonder if they are significant others.

I believe they are, or were.
