              [65] New smilies!!!!! Thank you, Faust!

              Maybe not as exciting for you as for me (crazy obsessed person that I am), but I have Yohji collection, Y's men's, Y's women's, and Yohji + Noir for F/W 07-08. [67]

                  went there yesterday. the japanese labels they carry : a few lad musician tees, a few roar tees (the blinged out guns), troiso, tokyo extra grade andisamu katayama backlash. the lower ground level is stocked with tons of leather jackets from these brands, kinda creeps me out i must say

                    backlash has some nice leathers, particularly their leather shirts. i heard they use some pretty unique dye injection into the leathers...not sure about the details but it sounded pretty interesting when i heard about it. i wonder what the pricepoints are like in NYC, sincethe roargunspieces i've seen at maxfields had a pretty healthy markup. backlash is pretty expensive in japan to begin with; i think thiscan be partly attributed totheir dealing with(almost) exclusivelyleather.

                      Interesting selection

                      The website has an intereting mix: collections from maniac (lgb, if 6 was 9), kiminori morishita, christian peau, etc.

                      Does anyone have experience shopping there...do they carry footwear, accesories selections.

                      If not, I'll post my experience next week.

                      Thanks.

                        the selection is lame, unless you like snakeskin. i don't know who their target audience is, not me i guess.

                        the store is reasonably big, they have a fair number of pieces from the brands you listed, including accessories.

                        salespeople trail you like a hawk.

                        they sold ro for a hot minute last spring, who knew?

                          Xadam, thanks.

                          Sounds like a toss up: interesting wares vs. iffy service.

                            I think their stock can be described as goth ninja eurotrash.

                              I checked this place out yesterday (09/06) and I was almost impressed. Plenty of the Maniac brands and selections represented. I was not too impressed by the 14th Addiction accessories (seemed more glam than rock). I will stick to Km Rii. However, there were some awesome pieces hidden from Backlash and well represented selections from Christian Peau.

                              This place is more misses than hits. Still, the hits are homeruns for me.

                              PS: service was totally spotty.
