It’s weird seeing shops like Nordstrom add Margiela, but have a totally random buy, selecting stuff that has nothing distinguishing about it. Nothing that would make someone understand the brand or the price. It’ll just end 70% off at the Rack, covered in the sweat of all the people who tried it on because it was on sale but didn’t want to buy $800 twill trousers

I too think those one splatter and lip stick shirts are lame but i had bad taste

This Dries shirt on the other hand... even Graham Norton has good enough taste to wear it

This shirt is my grail. I'm so pissed I didn't jump on it way back when.

I’ve seen about 3 or 4 of those rain drop shirts on eBay since last year

Good to hear. I stopped searching Margiela on ebay after the HMxMMM came out, too lazy to sort through all the HM stuff but I'll need to keep an eye out.

The ever-increasing use of the words "investment" & "clothing" together is driving me crazy.

For some reason, I wanted to trigger myself this morning. And came upon "20 investment brands" from Mr. Porter. This is one of Mr. Porter's suggestions:

I'm not a finance nerd or anything. But I don't know how the hell this can qualify as an investment.
