the thing about McQueen is he appears completely unpredictable...from one season to next there is hardly any continuity, and of course seeing the man himself his designs have no relation to his personal style. I like that he is continually pushing boundaries (his SS 09 collection is hardly warm weather wear)...just disappointed that when the stuff finally hits stores it's mostly overpriced streetwear with the occasional funky patterned button down shirt. Oh and his suits are fused

Glad to see you dishing out the proper info again, Fok! Even despite the shortcomings discussed, I really like a few of the pieces with the geometrical zipperheads. I'd love to get my hands on at least one item when it all hits the stores.

A friend and I were discussing the runway pictures and he came up with the coolest description for this suit.
"Walking out of the void"

that effect is kinda cool...reminds me of a cropped photoshop image that had a black background and it wasnt cleanly cut out

I thought that was what it was. I suppose this is it from behind.

I wonder if it could be worn without people saying, "dude, you are so badly cropped!"

It seems incredibly gimmicky to me. Like something from an early '90s music video.

It's a season full of gimmicks

doesn't make it right. anyone predict zipper pulls on raf s/s 09?

only wearable stuff i've seen is barrett and dell'acqua so far.

Don't worry kunksta, there will be plenty of dope **** in stores. Raf doesn't just do runway but lots of classic wearables. I'll have to snap a pic of my chunky V with metallic back ribbing on the collar.

I think wearability is subjective. It depends on how 'far' an individual is willing to go.

 

[thekunk07]

yeah, i rely on raf for the unique pieces (kind of stuff seven buys) but like jil and prada for basics/suits/shirts.

jil does not look like basics.

You can wear anything you like, even a garbage bag as socal pointed out but not looking like a fool is a different matter entirely.

you kidding me? Have you entered a Jil Sander boutique lately? It's pretty much all basics. The runway is just for stylized effect.

You can even look like Liberace with some gold lame'.
