I like geller, at least that doo has talent.

I will be copping some of his basic blend tees for spring actually.

Tim Hamilton looks pretty good, pretty wearable: http://img198.imagevenue.com/aAfkjfp..._122_650lo.jpg Julius has a few good outerwear pieces, a lot of unwearable stuff in the collection, but it is Julius, I'm down with it: http://nibblebit.com/wp-admin/user_c...8b8bca3ebf.jpg http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/w...us_fw10/14.jpg

Junya impressed me quite a bit this season. Almost as if he had this whole progression planned in his head over the last few years and it's all starting to make sense (at least to me, that is). I also can't hate on a collection that oozes the very thing I love about Jazz and the musicians I grew up listening to. Also very much appreciate the fact he kept the show very minimal, with some of the looks being the same only with a jacket thrown over. It felt real. Like this is what real men wear, or better yet, what the Junya man wears.

Tim Blanks review; The experience of watching a show by Rei Kawakubo or her protÃ

gÃ

Junya Watanabe is akin to being given a code to crack, hardly a challenge which presents itself very often in the fashion arena. And that’s why I could reel away from today’s shows in Paris with a sense of achievement. I cracked the code! It mightn’t have been their code, but it sure worked for me. The first clue is always the invitation. Junya’s featured a tripartite photographic exposition of America’s military might. Think about it—that was the average Japanese family’s introduction to the West after World War II. Next clue: music. Junya’s was Charlie Parker’s be-bop. Now you have to imagine jazz as the sound of democracy. Then came the clothes that go with the freedom. At an average fashion show, the pork pie hats, shades and narrow black ties might be set aside as stylists’ flourishes, but here they were finishing touches to outfits that starred the slender tailoring of Parker and his cohorts, emphasised by attenuated silhouettes. Rebirth of the cool? “This is a man” was the theme of the show. It was a real Junya moment. (By the way, I'm going to take this small moment to say how much I hate the transition from men.style.com to gq.com. Such a waste! Very unfortunate that us Men have to be relegated to GQ's musings now, when men.style was a great counter part to style.com. Not to mention the fact Tim Blanks' reviews are now on style.com, for men's shows! Not sure what will happen to those witty gents who did the fashion segments, in the closet either, I rather enjoyed their ramblings during the middle of a busy work week. Sigh.)

Anyone know where I can view Richard Chai F/W menswear that showed this morning? I've only seen his women's stuff (which was awesome) posted so far.

No love for the NY shows?

Can't wait for SoCal to rock the raccoon-tailed ballgown skirt from Thom Browne

Moncler Grenoble. unstoppable, as usual awesome video presentation

Moncler x GI Joe

I went to Patrik Ervell's show in NYC and rather liked it.

A strong conceptual sense combined with individually wearable pieces.

I also saw Band of Outsiders who was reliable as usual, but the whole line strikes me less as brilliantly designed then artfully styled.

Easily the best jacket of the majority of the FW 2010 collections out there, but I can't manage to find it anywhere - even on the Prorsum site... they only have it in the hideous white... I think it may be sold out..

Anyone see any around?

Why not go to the Burberry store in SoHo? They had it there last month

 

[Desi]

I haven't checked the Soho one in a minute but the store on fifth/Madison should have it as well.
