Can anyone share their knowledge on where to find designer's past collections? I usually have a hard time finding anything past the early 2000s.


Pre 2000 is usually problematic.

Am I going to regret paying retail for an Acne limit shirt? Want one (or more accurately, several), but I keep hearing "Thrift Shop" in my head whenever I consider paying $85 for a t-shirt... ******* Macklemore.

Normally, I like to think of myself as a traditionalist, however...




(Kiton linen, cashmere, silk blend, tie, PS and shirt are also kiton)

Perhaps, but I like the new Clowes avatar. Find me a Death Ray shirt!

(No really...he did a Stussy t-shirt collab that looked pretty neat).

habitant, if only I fit more of your stuff or could afford them, I would be your marketplace lover.

fashion in general is oversaturated right now ......few things sell out before sales. There is so many ways to spend a couple hundred dollars so I guess that why people flake a lot.

still sucks. Everyone tries to screw you. "would you take 150$ for this 600$ jacket, that was originally 1300$?" "oh, you wore it once? well that should take 400$ off the price" "well, it's not really the colour I like, do you have the receipt?"


The worst! 'what's your paypal, i'll buy it' then ******* nothing!


I still think 400$ plus those common projects is a sweet deal Distorbiant.. don't be cheap!

I recently sold the last item in my closet that was getting no use which was a pair of jeans. I can safely say now that my b&s days are over. I accepted the hit you take when just wanting to sell an item, lesson learned. I never buy from places that don't accept returns (unless I am 100% sure on a item) and if I am not loving the item I return asap, that way I don't waste 2 or 3 bills :brick:. Feels good, best of luck to you guys

I think Firstview has some late 90s stuff. That was when digital photography started to be viable. Previously it was probably film and scanning so a pain for websites to archive.

Damn, I had no idea.

How about a Lloyd Lewellyn tee?

True. I no longer keep anything that I don't completely like. Im also buying less and at less discount/retail an amazingly Im happier with those purchases.

Haha. Who really paid retail -- or the fantasy-ish MSRP -- for that '$1300' jacket, though? Most likely, no one.
