Random fashion thoughts

I like how they complain about Lagerfeld saying Adele is fat, and then call models freakish for being thin and tall.

it's funny in many ways... Lagerfeld says some completely off the wall **** but it's mostly true. He's the Charles Barkley of fashion!

From a piece on Italo Zucchelli in BoF

Calvin Klein is really mystifying as a brand-- on one hand you have "Calvin Klein" squirming around in the Macys swamp next to the likes of Club Room et al, then on the other hand you have Italo doing really awesome things with minimalism and showing clothes at the premiere locales. There's no in-between.

definitely... CK has had this problem of amorphous ambiguity b/t different "parts" of the collection for years. Some is total Macy's shite, and some is really great quality.

No, he started the project and lives in one. Owners are creative types as they refused applications from bankers, doctors and such and concentrated on, say, uni profs, journalists, designers etc. All the neighbors know each other very well and he did a favour to a friend by having his niehgbor lend him his loft while he was away. There is no Christian lending service so forget it.

Sounds like Christiania, without the hash and bikers.

Had the same thought this morning. #menswear will never be the same again.

Plus side is that PG mentioned he's thinking about more Junya + CDG now.

I'm really tempted to get this in the largest possible size. Some anti-fit mohair coziness.

I can't even find T/M on the site, what is going on

I have a T/M shirt that I really like as well, so soft

I think T/M wins the award for least search-optimized name of a brand. It's also really not clear that it's pronounced "tim."

Edit: two random fashion thoughts. My wife saw the MMM tabi shoes at IF and said something along the lines of, "I don't care how well-made they are, those are just ugly." Also, just saw a woman headed to a fashion week event who was wearing a gossamer-thin dress and was obviously freezing. But at least she looked good.

Went to all the famous big department stores in London today (Harrod's, Selfridges, Liberty, etc), saw a lot of really hyped/great brands. Selfridges had by far the best ****, Harrod's was embarrassingly bad clothing-wise (but the food was tasty).





Discovered a great brand too, Sandro. Really nice cut/simple color patterns, good weight and quality materials, and reasonable prices (especially some of the sale stuff). Dunno why this brand doesn't get any love, really great stuff. Got a murdered out varsity with leather sleeves, was 50% off.

We shot a little thing with Martin Greenfield today at the Ace Hotel and he couldn't have been nicer. He even gave my gf a big hug and kiss on the forehead when we left.
