Query for the thread:

Once trunk shows resume, what are the top five models/colors you would want to try?

 

[dwiz]

Atelier Mira is holding a trunk show of sorts next weekend.. I’m going, double masked and nervous but going.

Looking to try the Roy, and Wyatt, hopeful to see the Toas and Walker in rover, seed, army or the dank blue. It’s a 21’ preview show so thinking some colors of the old favorites seen on that PDF a while back will be there.

I WAS intrigued by the Dealans in royal blue but have a strong suspicion they will be much darker than I’d prefer.
I was told by a dealer who had just been visited by the rep that the new wave of releases were expected in April or May

I tired on The Dealan in Royal a couple days ago and they are indeed pretty dark.

Fellini Dark Havana arrived today so I now have a conundrum, keep both or sell the Noir. God damn it

I kept both At first I thought I wanted to turn black ones to optical, but still haven't. I rotate them daily because they have totally different characters.

I mean. Some people will have one Mollino (too pedestrian) and one Fellini, so why not have 2 colors of greater model. I mean, at least they hold value, so you can easily sell them after.

I could see how these are on the darker side though they’re prob like the rovers. In direct sunlight they pop more and the blue would be more visible. Think imma order these.

I like your thinking but....you're not helping me

Just a heads up that Matches Fashion has been sending out unique promotional offers that can be used in combination with an Amex Offer of $125 off $550 at Matches. Picked up a pair of the Molinos for a nice discount.

Just keep in mind the final total (after discount) has to be $550+ to get the statement credit so it's really only a deal if you have your eye on some other things there.

Yeah that’s a pass from me. Too bad as my favourite colour is royal blue but that looks almost black. Would have preferred silver wiring over gold too.
I have a pair of wayfarers that are actual royal blue. Was hoping for an upgrade but these aren’t them. They look good but just not what I’m after for myself.

Cool colors gotta drop for some of the smaller frames like regular zephirin.

I think they focus on more of the bolder models since it’s their strong suit.
I think the zephirin look best as optical

Sturges are the upper bound of what I can do, feels bad man.
