    Spring 08 Wishlists!



    In keeping with the wishlist tradition I thought I would create this upcoming season's list.




    I'd like to continue my idea of a cool, comfortable spring wardrobe living here thatconsists ofsomething other than T shirts so my list includes:




    -raf simons s/s button ups




    -lots of jil well b/c I'm a jil guy




    -white lace ups, still on the hunt for the perfect pair since last year




    -maybe some thin lightweight sweaters, don't know how practical those will be




    -a little bit of dries as well




    -couple lanvin at discount since not much value due to being overpriced




    What's on your list?

    Jil s/s button down shirts (the white, big cuff version and the sheer grey version are my favorite)
    Jil lightweight trousers in light grey
    Lanvin navy suede/patent toe shoe
    Lanvin grosgrain button downs (hopefully navy and a khaki color)
    Lanvin patent toe sneaker (waiting to see the colors...probably wont get these until sale time)
    Dries olive trousers (I posted a pic in the Dries thread)
    Dries plaid s/s shirt
    Dries crazy print cardigan (hopefully someone actually orders it in the US)

    To be honest, this has got to be the best SS season in quite some time for a lot of collections. Lanvin, Jil, and Dries are all fantastic and if I had a never ending amount of money I would surely buy some Thom Browne. (maybe at 75% off at Barneys, haha) Plus, I can't wait to see what comes out for Black Fleece for Spring.

    Too much good stuff.

      as usual, each season seems to surprise us with something great no?




      Some nice and daily-wearable pieces (as much as I love the more "extreme" pieces from CCP and such, cash dictates that I get something more functional) from theSZ-approved guys:




      MA+ black aviator: definitely top of my list. Love it!!!




      MA+ black/white knit low front hoodie: just plain beautiful




      MA+ 5 pocket, curved hipline black pants




      CDiem reverse calf hi-top 6 hole laceups (the higher versions of what is being sold in the classifieds section now)... not really spring, but just something I'd love to add to my closet.




      also those ankle-break buckle strap MA+ boots from last season... so very nice!




      As always, I'll be on the lookout for more Linea pieces and such that pop up from time to time :)




      Still awaiting the photos from upcoming CCP... c'monnnnnn Carol!

        Not a lot:



        Lanvin tan silk track jacket (that's what it looks like, at least)

        Bottega Veneta gray cotton jacket and pants with a belt in the same fabric

        A couple of Thom Browne oxfords

        Black Alden cordovan penny loafers



        I think that's probably it.

                Honestly, I'll probably end up spending more this Spring than Winter 08, so I'm definitely looking forward to it. Plus, there are a bunch of collections that I think are fantastic!

                Jil, Lanvin, Thom, all I think might even be better than their FW offerings.

                  Me and my buddy already talked about that.




                  I cut out many sales purchases from winter that were "why not" buys since they were on sale so that I could drop g's on spring. I'll have some heat real soon. I already have a million sweaters, scarves and jeans/pants so I don't need to worry about that anymore.

                    I still have a ton of stuff I'm stalking on sale for winter, but I really have only one thing in mind for Spring: Rick Owens' draped jackets. those things are ill, I must have one (especially since I lost the auction on Yahoo.jp for the Owens big collared coat). Buying a ton of Geller as well, but that goes without saying...

                      What's coming up in underwear? Mine's a bit tired.

                        Haha. Maybe it's because spring for me is never nearly as exciting as fall is. Particularly this spring, because I can't remember a single thing off the top of my head that I feel in love with.

                          Spring is lightweight by definition, it's when you're supposed to start taking clothes off, not buying more of them. But give me a Winter coat anyday.

                            ps I don't see a global warming thread here, how are designers reacting to it? What's happening to garments? Are perforated leather and layered under-overgarments a symptom?

                              Fair enough, had you posed this question 6 months ago my answer would have been the same. I have a feeling you will warm up to this upcoming season when you see it in person.
