SS never interested me much, but I have yet to touch one so who knows.....its a steelish blue mohair (sp?)
I am also a little bitter about my Braves losing the WC


FW is always his best season. Sounds like the hairs cardigan. Personally, I think his knits top current day MMM.

Sorry about your Braves, but my team had a franchise record to break and your squad was in the way.



Haha. Aww snap. Can't we all get along?

I'm sure the quality of MMM is still pretty high so all of their basic knits are still wearable. In fact there is a blue speckled Stark-ish piece that looks pretty great. But regardless, it's a lifeless brand that's being driven by old designs from the archive + name. The design team has no direction and constantly releases drivel like this







this is pretty sick



Schneider easily trumps MMM right now. He has the best fabrics I've ever felt/seen and this last collection is one of the most well rounded and beautiful in the last few years.

There are very few standouts in MMM that strengthen the brand, however sometimes people need to look at the bigger picture when it comes to MMM. If you take that sweatshirt, for example, it is a fantastic example of how margiela designs and manufactures their items. The design on that is an eyesore, and the coloring looks poor, however the construction and composition of the sweatshirt are the true standouts. I've often taken my mmm stuff into tailors who are like "that is some ugly ****, and it probably cost a fortune to make." I feel like thats a great description of mmm overall. If you appreciate the complexity in their designs and the innovations and developments in construction (faux zippers, techno fabrics, custom hardware, complex patterning, etc) you may still think its an ugly item, however it is still impressive regardless. From a construction standpoint, the jacket would be a pain ********** to make, that goes with a lot of mmm items. SpA International must have a pretty impressive team of patternmakers and tailors to take on jobs like this...

Mmm I wouldn't say that "everyone" has picked up Schneider FW11 given how small their distribution is especially in comparison to modern MMM... I'm reasonably sure if you sell that cardigan it'll move with a quickness. Where did your girlfriend pick it up? Always interested in plundering more stockists.

south willard is probably the only stockist who carried that

regis won't know what to do with it because it's not a t-shirt ahhahaha

but really, that cardigan would look great with white jeans and a button-up, I should have copped it.
