*** Official F/w 2011 Runway Thread ***

[*Tee*]

I'm in Paris from Friday - Monday. Anyone else going ?

Fujiwara was great. Like, pinch hitting for the Prada team during a slump season. j/k, it's good, and better than others they've presented.

i actually loved the jil sander lineup. i wish i was as baller and rich to wear every outfit.

That said:

- Whenever current Raf (for Jil Sander) does anything I like he seems to ******* up the next season. I really liked the bright colors he used for SS11, but the ones this season are universally worse / watered down shades. Still, I have to say, he still cuts the best slim pants IMO.
- Pretty much everything about Burberry sucked, from the colors to the overwrought details.
- I usually find Prada, at the very least, entertaining. Not this time.
- Trussardi, with it being an all leather collection, had some interesting textures. Too bad the clothes themselves are Eurotrash.
- Marni was okay, Fujiwara was good except for the shoes that did go with the rest of the collection (not that I'll remember either of them in a week).
- Everthing else was boring or bad.

Off runway, Devoa is good / interesting:

i liked the fujiwara outerwear a lot but the styling seems pretty rough. i love thom browne x moncler 4evr and always... (not being ironic)

Full Fujiwara presentation, bigger pics here

I like the oversized pockets X hairdresser belt/not-a-skirt thing

Change the shoes and pant cuffs and this is all me.

Yeah, Milan has always more or less been the precursor to the big show (Paris). So excited for tomorrows presentations. I really like what Devoa has been putting out. Good materials, styling, and cut. Besides the outerwear though, their stuff just doesn't make me feel that I need it in my life. A bit too understated for me I guess.

Pictures also available on GQ: LINK Damn. I actually like (really like) a Rick Owens collection*. There is more structure and more refinement whilst the vision / spirit remains clearly Rick Owens. *Okay, I did like Exploder, but other than that I was never a fan

I thought RO was pretty boring tbh

 

[driveslowk]

The Rick show was comical.

 

[thekunk07]

you guys for the most parts know nothing and associate ro with leathers and t shirts that you resell with your BoO on the b&s section. This was a complete cohesion between his first men's collection and the tailoring of gleam and crust.

 

[gats]

I love the picture of Rick at the end of the GQ slideshow. Also I didn't really like the brown boots that were in a couple of looks and the thick looking grey pants were cool

Agree with Kunk. Looks like he fixed the perma-shrug fit on his tailored pieces shoulders, so that gets props.
