F/W 09 runway

[chronoaug]

What did you find weird about them, robbie? I thought the models were pretty normal compared to some shows. Just your typical tall male models but with slicked back hair. Can't say i'm necessarily diggin the whole hourglass coat thing going on, but this just oozes badass

that coat you posted IS amazing. Haven't looked at the pics yet.

I wish the first picture Kunk posted was like a shawl that you could wear over the jacket that gave it the effect rather than the actual coat being dyed.

I think robbie's bothered by the twinkle in their eyes.

they had really stupid looking haircuts, if they had been cast in fight club they would have ended up like Jared Leto.

Some of the really hourglassey sillouhuettes are a little weird to me, but still overall really solid

i clicked on the blog in your sig and thought the same thing. only the the jil models aren't fat and the clothes they are wearing aren't garbage...

Burberry Prorsum kinda sucked. Wasn't feeling the cut of some of the pants, the cumberbund thing, pinstripes, the big scarf, and some knits. Some of the suiting was aight, and of course the iconic trench, but overall, blech. I mean, i get the 50s dark, dreary britain edge, but just not a huge fan. I think this polo/button up underneath here looks kinda nice.

The costume national homme show was boring. Don't even feel like posting a pic. Waistcoat used in most of the looks could be ok. As usual, there are probabland a couple decent y a few basics pieces that could be alright if bought on sale, but the show itself wasn't all that interesting. Some rock influences here and there, and some decent monochromatic silhouettes, but meh. Marni wasn't runway but showroom. I generally like the look gone for with marni stuff. It isn't necessarily high fashion, but usually pretty wearable. The detailing looks pretty nice and there are some good looks and individual pieces. There's this nice white textured button up, and this black coat that almost looks like the Bless hooded coat (but the pockets are a bit different. bless pockets are better)

As always, missoni had some great looking knits. The collection as a whole wasn't my thing, but tons and tons of great knits.

After looking at the Jil show again, I realize I'm getting really tired of Raf/Jil. It just looks the same, which is fine but I think I'll be wanting something new comet his F/W. Might still pick up some basics though cause the cut works great on me.

I feel the same way. The fabrics and cuts are often great, and the general look is solid, but it's kind of running together. Not to say this is terrible because a lot of designers put out almost the same things every season with tweaks here and there trying to refine or build upon it. Raf used to blow **** up occasionally, or come out of left field which was nice. Raf and Jil are kinda meshing together. I still like it, and i'm sure it's all fantastic in person in regards to certain pieces, but i'm not as excited about seeing the shows these days.
