    Michel Berandi

    Michel Berandi's exhibition pieces for MOCA. Fucking amazing! From the helmets to the ballet flats turned heel with horns and everything in between. The hoof shoe is sick as all hell too. Everything about this work is perfect!

    Faust/Mike Lowrey: Perhaps we can merge prior MB season threads to this one?

      i never got why michel berandi ended up being overlooked all the time. back when i discovered the label the old sartorialoft was the only non-japanese site had anything. shit is amazing.

      unfortunately, the only piece i own from him is a fairly WTF t-shirt my gf bought for me during her tokyo trip...

        I quite like the zip waistcoat in the look book on his website as well as some of the long coats; I wish there was less hair going on in the pictures, though, for it's hard for me to get a good sense of his pieces from the chest up. Any other pics available?

            First Amoung Equals in NYC had a few pieces last time I was there. They had one of his leathers, though I didn't pay very close attention to it. I do remember the prices being reasonable.

            MOCA display looks great.

              MB999 is a diffusion line that he started with some people in Japan. It really has nothing to do with Michel anymore. Many of his designs are there, but there is a new designer at the helm and she is a sweetheart. If you want to support and acquire genuine Michel Berandi designs, you've got to go with his signature line.

              Yes, the MOCA exhibition should be great. I eagerly await the days to arrive so that everyone has a chance to see it in person. He works very hard and it shows in his work. I am very proud of him.

                I was at Roden Gray a few days ago and they said that they weren't going to carry him anymore.

                My old roommate had some problems with the zipper of his MB999 jacket, don't know if he ever got it fixed.

                  Yeah, the quality of MB999 is less than favorable. Sorry to hear about your friend's zipper. The mainline utilizes heavy duty riri zips at every turn...I like that.

                    the MB999 jackets use "LiLi" zippers, no joke.

                    actually, big joke.

                      That's actually a bit embarrassing.
                      Glad I didn't get the chance to cop.

                        mb-999 shouldn't even be in the same category as his work,
                        as far as i know, it won't be continuing...
                        or at least i am hoping it won't.

                          and for stores not carrying him...
                          i know he is taking off from doing a collection for this fall/winter,
                          but should be back for spring/summer.

                            gammaplayer used to carry his stuff. I can't remember if it was mainline or not, but I think it was since mb999 is new to me. A few months ago I was they wouldn't be stocking him anymore. I think all they had left at that point was cowl neck and a button up.
