Isiaia by Jeffrey Kalinsky

[emmanuel]

Apparently Jeffrey teamed up with Isaia to display his take on modernizing the brand. thought it to be interesting. Any potential buyers? http://men.style.com/news/blog/2009/...ust-in-is.html (oops mispelled title, oh well)

I do not think Isaia needs this at all.
Its kind of an high end Thome Browne/Brooks Brothers sort of crock-o-****.....

black with red stitching? yuck.

I don't think isaia needs any help.

and they certainly don't need shorter jackets, that's one of the reasons I like isaia.

I'm pretty sure the red stitching is only the basting threads closing the lapel hole and the sleeves.

The most noteworthy thing about the suit is the lapels, which have a low, sloping gorge rather like Margiela and dated 80s/90s suits.

 

[antirabbit]

thier current lapels are perfect, that is why I love Isaia.

Oh gosh!! Isaia at Jeffrey now? Next thing you know, socal will be driving up the price of Edward Greens and discussing pocket square folds in MC...

 

[grimslade]

I can't say that I think Isaia needs this.

 

[Parker]

not good. the lapels esp. look all wrong.

 

[Philip1978]

I think it looks good.

I don't think it looks bad I just don't think it's neccesary. If they want to make a new model that is fine but don't change everything.

I currently like Isaia and I also like Thom Browne, but not a Thom Browne-like Isaia suit. Isaia should stick to what has made it a good brand, imo. It doesn't need this collaboration for it to continue to be successful.

 

[gdl203]

I strongly doubt on the mod claims though: "raising the armholes". Not sure how much room there is on an Isaia coat to raise the armholes...

 

[itsstillmatt]

This is exactly what Isaia needed.
