If only I was a Bladerunner.

For quite a while Haider was really just some draped fabric and a backwards cardigan or two held together with some intelligent belting, so coming up with your own looks wouldn't be horribly challenging if you're so inclined.

Really excited to see all the discussion about YSL - will have to jump in myself later today with some more fleshed out thoughts, probably in the Runway thread lest it get lost lost in the chatter here.

Mmmh I don't really remember the runway show but the men's collection had some really nice kimono inspired tailored blazers and jackets, silk cropped trousers etc that made for pretty streamlined silhouettes, I'm guessing you're talking about the women's stuff ? And yeah, 70% of the appeal is in the fabrics / colors so DYIing it kinda misses the point.

I didn't even know he had done menswear, so I'm referring mainly to the women's stuff. The appeal for Haider is definitely in the fabrics, though his most recent (and very excellent) collection has demonstrated his aptitude for a few tailored pieces. I've always been drawn to his darker stuff so the colours aren't as important to me, I guess. Nothing stopping you from buying womenswear pieces and deconstructing them for the fabrics though

This was already posted in the Epaulet thread but I'm reposting it here because J Crew appears to be currently in the lead and I don't think any of us want that to happen. Please get out the vote, guys!

It was a tough, but good feeling.

Attention sz S / 9US People

I will be putting up a large sale thread sometime this week, and attempting to liquidate a lot of the big pieces I don't wear as muh as I used to. If you're interested at all in the bigger ticket stuff (W+H all black varsity, electric blue Junya CdG jacket, viberg chukkas for a couple hundred less than retail) PM me (nudes) for preferrential treatment.

I will be accepting trades.
