    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    To be scientific accurate this statement is absolute nonsense. Heroine really does re-wire the human brain. After the initial high, the receptors desensitize, but you remain addicted. It is absolute wretched. To put it mildly.

    The Louis Kahn "Museum of British Art" is amazing. A stunning collection, housed in an extraordinary space. Their paintings by Frank Auerbach are really lovely.

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    Most top designers will employ a real specs designer for their frames. Yohji makes high quality clothes, but I have not idea about his frames. I have several clothes items from him. They are top. The Japanese have a passion for hand made frames. So maybe Yohji followed this?

    I am wearing MM-0018 No.5 Silver. Really great, and everyone likes them. Almost every person who sees me in then, say so. There is no doubt he is one of coolest specs designers alive.

    I saw this picture on the web, on a quite interesting page. I would appreciate identification of several people. From the 1980s I think. I know Kenzo, X1, X2, X3, Chanel?, YSL, X4, Sonya Rykiel, Issey Miyake, Pierre Berge, Emanuel Ungaro. I have already done some home work on the Xs. They are...

    Can You Tell The Difference Between Bespoke and Ready-to-Wear?

    I bought 2 pair of bespoke gloves from Thomas Reimer in 2017 via Leffot. They are great. Last Dec 2019 i went back for a 3rd pair. One in a different color leather, otherwise exactly the "same" glove. These do not even go on my hand! So can makers tell the difference between bespoke and WRT...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    I taught pulmonary physiology at medical school for many years. It is well established that all the contents of cigs are bad. In particular the free radical products (eg. nitrous oxide) attack the lining of alveoli, destroying the most delicate structure in our body. When you combine that with...

    If you enter "more " in google you get "more cowbell" the Classic SNL sketch by Christopher Walken .... this makes me think: "More fez"

    Vintage Yohji Yomamato Pour Homme Leather Jacket - Manufacture Date Check

    I have been looking at yohji since going to Paris in the 1990s. I have watched all yohji videos on utube, and would say hard to say. Since this is not a runway piece it is very tricky.
