These were in Barney's Co-ops from the get go. I suspect that Diesel's main contribution was its expertise in marketing. Earlier than 2002, I remember that there was reams of Margiela lingering on the Barney's outlet racks. By 2002, there was a lot more press, and the Margiela collection was at the top of the stairs of the 3rd floor of the Beverly Hills Barneys - taking up pretty valuable real estate. The value of good PR should never be underestimated. There is a reason we hear about Julius, but little about say, ato or s'exprimer, which are often sold alongside Julius in Japan.

LOL Damn my secret shame, how did you put it all together?

 

[asobu]

to be fair, it would more interesting to see at least runway pics or even stock pics of your rps, than just a list of stuff that at least I have no idea what it looks like

one of the things I hate about this place, the only forum I've ever been where you can't do this and now you can only edit for a short time, before it was indefinitely

Yea, if people are done with them i'll take a pair of the mmm ones. My surplus ones are 4 years old and the back outside heel is worn down a ton. Either they shrunk a bit of my feet grew

That said I would actually like to see Razele kops not to prove he bought them (das stupid) but just to see them.

I think he means he doesn't have a computer to post his fits from.

In which case, wtf.
