Nike Sportswear x Undercover Gyakusou SS12 is not as appealing as last seasons. Maybe because of lack of monks in the photoshoot?

Cosmic Wonder Light Source may be the most Japanese brand name I have encountered in a long time.

Minerals and plants live in the earth but their souls are hard to find.
Their outlines are very familiar but they have also an inner radiance.
These are expressions transmitted through the Earth's soil.
We ourselves create illuminations and reflect them outwards, offering back
to the universe our lessons.
This is how the natural world evolves in harmony with its spiritual self.
It's a marvelous exchange, and a very real one, that takes place all around us.

ahhahahahaha

There's an issue of PEN magazine here in Japan, was either last month's or this month's currently - it's dedicated to the CDG empire and has a more founded take on the CDG aesthetic. It includes the relevancy of Junya of course, but some mentions of Tao and of course Kawakubo.

BW has nothing to do with this **** though, he's, for better or worse, a gay designer making clothes for gay wearers, often working in fashion in one capacity or another. I know people who wear BW and they're not fluo kids.

Yes I know, and partly because of that I can imagine him maintaining some sort of relevancy, along with WvB, who is kind of in the same boat.

What I was saying was that the mainstream/maltstream appeal of that look has passed and will now be reserved to a more niche crowd. I'm sure fluokids will continue to exist, alongside every other subculture that had its moment, but it won't be A Big Deal like it was a few years ago, where every tween in middle america dressed like that for parties.

"I mix street wear with high fashion. It's never been seen before."
Indeed.

Never heard any of his music, but he annoys the crap out of me.

Thanks for the tip. I actually was in Kinokuniya recently checking out the magazines you recommended to me. Some really good stuff so thanks again for that. I think I might go back today to see if they have this though, and pick up a new copy of GO OUT as well.

I don't know what the price will be of the CdG magazine but guys feel free to PM me if you want a copy. Before doing that make sure you are OK with paying up to $30 shipped since the magazines can get very pricey. Realistically it will be more like $22 shipped or so if the magazine is like $18, but I don't want to end up with a dozen copies of a bulky $25 magazine from people that flake on me when they get the sticker shock. I'm not going to gouge anyone on costs or something stupid, but I know how much people like CdG so if they actually have it, I would be happy to send it out.

How come the styleforum doesn't ever really go for the 'loud' designers (Bernard Wilhelm, Walter van Beirendonck, Jeremy Scott, Gaultier, etc)?

Because SF is its own fashion microculture, there are a lot of first posts in ****** threads that start 'hi i'm a guy who wants to become more stylish, right now i have some gap khakis but what do i do next' and then everyone bitches him out until he buys raw jeans and white sneakers. Which is a good place to start but it's also where people often stop.

Also, the 'loud' designers tend to be fuckin expensive

Also also, I would say the RO/Julius/Yohji stuff is all pretty 'loud', it's more a question of Jeremy Scott et al making clothes with a sense of humor, which people (myself included) are afraid of for various reasons.

Actually I'd love to see a thread dedicated to those who wear that stuff in real life.

for sure
