      Thanks babe. I'm looking forward to seeing your stuff, once you've repossessed the camera.

      And thanks Faust for raising the picture limit.

            No hard feelings, just taking the piss... Look forward to seeing your junya pieces!

            Have got some time after tomorrow so expect some HL and CDG H+ to show up.

            +1 on all the admiration for droogist's Chalayan pieces. They have an air of personability even the excellent Design Museum retrospective couldn't capture, since it looked at broad themes and spectacles rather than individual pieces.

              great pics from strangery and damagex going up.
              dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective

I love the play on uniforms and how it is both two things at once - a Margiela garment and a model of a vintage garment that has so much history. I wonder if they kept the same proportions, or altered it slightly to fit an adult female form/make it more "fashionable"/etc.
                i was browsing belgian fashion design and i thought i should share this excerpt.

                "his passion for old clothes is so extreme that he creates replicas. he observes the exact proportions, sometimes even disproportions of old, hand-made and made-to-measure garments. in that way the deceased wearers of the clothes live on to some extent. he calls replicas 'reproductions of a series of old garments'. martin margiela sees the replicas as 'original' pieces, not as designer reinterpretations, as is the case with recycled clothing."

                this might also explain why replica pieces do not carry the stitched-on white label.

                  ^thanks for that, ittalidaa, lovely quote.

                  I am totally floored and inspired by this entire forum....huge thanks to everyone who has contributed.
                  Still reeling from the Chalayan thread, but i will do my best to add some pictures soon.

                  i'm on it lady! cannot get over those spring shoes you posted...i would have worn them into the ground too. :)

                    the Chalayan is INCREDIBLE !
                    Plus I really like the way the clothes are displayed, every detail is visible and we really focus on the clothes.

                        the helmut lang doctor's bag in this post is from spring–summer 2002


                        faust's leather-sleeved denim jacket is from spring–summer 2003

                        i would like to ask if i can post the packaging to a hussein chalayan t-shirt that came in a big envelope. i no longer have the t-shirt now due to wear and tear but still have its uniquely large envelope. i do have a matching shirt that has the tear-away parts of the envelope. it's quite an interesting piece. absence/presence is its name, if i recall correctly.

                                I didn't know how to take care of shoes back then. :(

                                Wow @ Lumina and rider's Yohji.
