i dont pay attention to womens margiela but is it always this great?
first comforter cape is dope! unisex, perhaps??

Women's margiela tends to be really good, at least from the last couple seasons. These are from the season before (ss12): (clicky)

My celebrity crush

I think my latest crush is Audrey Hepburn. I just watched Roman Holiday

Haha, really ? I don't see how that's possible but I like it.

No, not really. Sorry. I can't remember why I first came here.

What's the appeal of schneider? SF seems nuts over it but I can't tell why from pics (aside from a couple cool-looking coats).

That sums up Schneider in a nut shell. You really need to see it in person to appreciate the love. Fabrics are the biggest draw. Check out his winter coats this year for instance. It's basically two pieces in one: coat and a knit.

How does one explain the appeal of anything? If it doesn't appeal to you, then it's just not for you. It's like arguments over why a woman is attractive to some and not others... these go nowhere.

I am personally now a huge fan of Schneider - I like the color palettes, the texture mix, the knits, the quality of materials, the silhouettes....

price point is competitive. fairly easy to wear
colourblocking patterns are dope

Not really what I meant. I haven't seen it in person, so I was assuming there was something really nice about it that can't be gleaned from a picture. Sort of like how most Margiela stuff looks pretty boring in photos but is great in the flesh.

I disagree with tonio - I think SS looks great in pictures already. The look book photos are very appealing to me - they were before I touched a piece

His custom textiles are really something you have to handle in person to truly appreciate.

That might be what KingJulien wasn't aware of. Whereas a lot of designers will find textiles they like and design from there, Schneider generally (always?) begins by designing the textile itself.

I meant in photos taken by most online retailers (i.e. Gravity Pope, Opening Ceremony). The lookbook and site show them well, but for the most part, most of the online pictures I see are in terrible lighting and/or fail to show close ups of the fabrics, which is the SS bread and butter. Southwillard takes SS pictures right.

I agree with that.
