    Guidi 988 Boots in most expensive CALF leather

    Size 38 fits 37-38.5 (as tried using fit models of varying sizes.) For reference, I am an IT 37

    Mint condition. I have worn them exactly 2 times.
    Vibramed.

    (yes - that's the Hancock building in the background!)
    [/url]





    If you are concerned about these boots being too large - use an insole. I also use an insole just to make a pair of shoes fit perfectly, even if they are my size.

    If you are concerned that they may be too small, keep in mind that calf leather is the most easily stretched (ask your cobbler.)

    My Guidi 987 backzips in calf are in IT 36, for example, but they stretched to a perfect size.

    In pristine, mint condition. Comes with Guidi sleeper tote.

    Asking: SOLD




    Chalayan by Hussein Chalayan Architectural Sleeve Jacket with Belted Waist

    The design of this jacket is absolutely spectacular. Strong in its architecture, I felt that I couldn't alter it without ruining its integrity. It's too big for me. Size IT 42. The following are photos I took for the archive. Keep in mind the quality of the secondary line is ace -- it's produced at the same factory as the first in Italy. It ain't no Marc by Marc.

    Fabrication: 45% Cotton, 55% LINEN


    Check out the construction on the sleeves here:
    [img]1,[/img]
    2, and here 3.

    Ask for measurements if you're not sure. It should be fitted.

    Condition: New with Tags
    Asking: $425 Shipping and Fees included. $25 supplement for EMS shipping elsewhere.


    Hussein Chalayan
    Brand New Skirt from FW 2002 Ambimorphous RARE
    Size 42
    (From the archives)


    I recently sourced a second skirt from the Hussein Chalayan AW 2002 collection - one that fits me. The first one I had, I did not wear. It was simply too large so I'm offering it here.

    Fits low on the hips and can be adjusted through the use of canvas straps from 32" to 39".

    Again, it's brand new and unworn. And yes, I keep seconds of many items. It's a terrible habit.

    It is this skirt, from the SZ Garment Archives. It has been stored - I have a lot of clothing.



    Asking: $500 fees and shipping CONUS. Yes, you heard me. CONUS. $35 Express supplement outside. SOLD

    Veronique Branquinho Layered Jersey Skirt with Asymmetrical Hem and Double Attached Belt NWT

    Sadly, Veronique Branquinho's studio closed this past year bringing to an end the career of a true fashion original and icon.

    Size F36 = US 0,2, XS, IT 38-40, UK 4-6

    This is an awesome wool blend jersey dress that is absurdly comfortable. Can send measurements but for reference, I am 5'4" 100ish lbs. Will definitely fit someone 10 lbs larger than me.

    Please PM for measurements - a great dress that can be layered over leggings and flatters many different bodies. It's hard to look bad in this draped piece with asymmetrical skirt.










    Retail 425 Euros
    Asking SOLD

    This skirt is a fantastic basic.

      CDG TAO Cotton-Linen ( 49/51) Indigo-Dyed Cropped Droped "Monpe" Trousers. Size XS (SS)
      New with Tags and Fabric Sample











      The design of these pants is after the traditional japanese monpe farmers' trousers, which were most often made of indigo-dyed hemp, linen and cotton (boro). The dropped aspect of the pants is more pronounced in the back, to allow for added comfort while squatting, owing to the design's historical origins. The trousers have no central fly, being instead split on each side at the waist line and closed with a belt attached right above the pleated waistband. Usually the farmers would tuck their kimono/shirts into the baggy hip area and allow the excess fabric to billow out through the open sides. The pants have strips of internally-attached backing fabric that can be used to cover the side openings from the interior, as well as reinforced rectangular patches at the knee level with top stitch detailing.

      The waist measurement is roughly 13.5 inches across, measured flat. the total outseam length is 25.2 inches and the leg opening at the cuff is 7 inches across.

      for reference purposes, here are some images of an actual pair of boro 'monpe' trousers from the late 1800's:

      2 of three buttons are large expandable "box" semi-attached pockets that have been used frequently in Yohji's designs.
      2 oval shaped patch pockets on exterior

      Styling ideas:

      This semi-cropped jacket is adorable and versatile. It can be worn over jeans or skirt and would work for nearly any situation. My favorite aspect of this jacket is the attention to detail that many of the Japanese manufacturers place in their designs. The thoughtfulness of the design, characteristic of Yohji, is always jaw-dropping.

      Fit: for reference, I am 5'4" and 95-97 lbs. I typically wear a Yohji size 1 but prefer a slightly larger size for outer wear. I am selling this piece only because I have another jacket from this collection.

              Item: Maison Martin Margiela Line 22 Thin Heel Tabi BLACK 37.5 New in Box

              Hello all,

              I have too many Tabi boots from Margiela and this is one pair that I've never really been able to fit because they are a half size too big, but crucially, because I can't wear a 4" heel.

              Heel silhouette and height aside, these are exactly the same as the classic column heel Tabis. Since they are AW 09, they have a much improved design in the split toe. It's a clean, better sewn structure rather than the more bulbous split toe constructions you see on the older tabis.

              Otherwise, they are back zip, secure with a hook fastening at top and have the expected white stitch on back.

              Come with extra taps and boot covers. Good for someone who already has other, basic MMM Tabis.

              Rick Owens Curved Thong Sandals

              The outsole measurement is 9.5" = 24 cm
              Insole = 9.25" 23.7 cm

              Details: Leather upper, padded insole, 1" wooden stacked wedge, thong toe post, a curved front strap, tonal stitching, and elasticated panel along side strap.

              DRKSHDW RICK OWENS CURVED SEAM DRESS (SEMI-SHEER) NWT SZ S/M


              (I'm wearing it with a Forme D'expression wrap vest that I may have or may not have remembered to list. To tired to care right now.)





              OK. Given that it's 4 am, and I am still working, I've decided to dispense with the over-wrought, overly detailed listings.

              You all know what these items are. I will only detail a few distinguishing factors about this particular piece. Unlike the iterations of past seasons (read, FW), this is a semi-sheer layering tank made of 100% cotton. The weave is exceptionally delicate, and it is able to maintain its shape-hugging stretchy quality without the use of synthetics because it's cut on the bias and woven from a very delicate, thin, loosely woven cotton.

              Unlike the cotton of the heavier cottons used by Rick, this particular fabric does not produce the trademark roll (Rick Roll?) at the hems. You may remove the black strap, but I rather like to keep them on.

              Sizing: This one is mid-calf to knee-length. Sized S/M on the cardboard tag, but M on the fabric tag itself...? It fits me (for your reference, I'm 5'4, 95 lbs) but I think it's a tad too large around the shoulders. I would normally take an XS - in Rick, really, almost everything is so tight it could fit me - and so I think the sizing is accurate when stated as a S/M.

                I picked up a couple of the Rick Owens Lilies 'Tunica' dress for clients - they look great on most body types and can be worn easily in a work environment.

                Note that I am wearing my own 'tunica' dress in size 38 in a different color - 'darkshadow.' The color of the dress sold in this listing is 'dust.' For reference, I am 5'4" ~97 lbs and wear 38 in Rick Owens, XS and S in DRKSHDW and 38 in Lilies. This dress runs true to size if not even slightly larger than Rick's usual sizing.

                below: I've styled the dress with a DRKSHDW jean jacket.


                Extra "styled" image: 1.

                Dress sold in this listing is below. Color - 'Dust' - is accurate in the photos. Size 42.

                  FS: Guidi Reverse Cordovan Medium Weekend Bag New in Sleeper


                  GUIDI Reverse Cordovan Black (with Gray undertone) Medium Bowler NIB

                  I hate to sell this - I just got it, but money, schmoney.

                  It will come back to me one day.

                  This is a Guidi reverse cordovan medium size bowler (weekend) bag - good for both man or woman.

                  22" x 14" x 9". 22" handles. A good hefty size for 48 hour trips, or everyday use. The gusset unzips completely. One zipped interior pocket. Picture #2 depicts color in outdoor light most accurately.





                  Oxidized hardware, gusset extends past the body of the bag and can be unsnapped to give more room in bag.

                  This size is not easy to find, but is the most intuitive and useful, in my opinion.

                  Brand new with Guidi sleeper bag

                  Retail $1650 + appx $150 tax

                  SOLD


                  Y's Yohji Yamamoto Overall Skirt NWT sz 3 (fits 38-42 depending on how you pefer fit.




                  The back features clever darting that makes the dress semi-asymmetrical.



                  Close up of fabric

                  100% virgin wool. size 3 - for reference, I'm 5'4", typically wear size 1 in Yohji, and am wearing low shoes and a thin tank dress underneath. Bought this with my Yohji expert friend in tow (you know who you are). He says it's more true to Yohji's styling to wear it very oversized. I have several skirts and dresses at this point and would like to edit my closet more.

                    Costume National (circa 1998) knee high riding boots sz 37

                    Costume National (circa 1998) knee high riding boots sz 36.5 (fits 36.5 and 37 perfectly.) I am a IT 37 and US 7 - they fit perfectly.

                    I bought these back from Costume National was one of the few designers that offered the minimalist design I was looking for. They turned out to be way to big in the calves (I thought I would be tucking my jeans in. I was wrong.)

                    The feature a crepe sole that will be great for slippery sidewalks in winter. I wore them a grand total of either 1 or 2 times.

                    They are in perfect condition save for the light scratch marks at the top of the left boot. They aren't noticeable unless you are really looking for them.



                    Measurements:
                    Heel: 1 1/4"
                    Width of Top of Boot: 14"
                    Inside sole: 9 3/8"

                    Condition: 9/10 - they are barely worn.

                    Perfect for foul weather.

                    Asking:SOLD.

                      RICK OWENS lilies Twist Seam Leggings sz IT 40

                      RICK OWENS lilies Twist Seam Leggings sz IT 40

                      I have worn them once - they are one size too big for me (I am an IT 36-38). I washed them by hand and let them air dry. Condition: as new.

                      As usual - extra long and sufficient for stacking



                      They are labeled 'black' but like much of Rick's knit offerings, have a slight brown undertone. Must have item for winter.

                          Rick Owens DRKSHDW Heavier Cotton Jersey Twist Seam Drape Collar Dress
                          Size S
                          Made in Italy
                          NWT
                          Colors: I have two - one "dust" and the other "black."

                          Size: will fit IT 36 - 40, US XS-S, 0-2, FR 34-36, UK 4-6



                          You can see the listing here: ebay DRKSHDW Black Twist Seam Jersey Dress.

                          I also have the same dress in "dust" color - a light dove gray. See the listing here. Ebay DRKSHDW Black Twist Seam Jersey Dress

                          Both dresses feature the long black strip, which I prefer to leave outside of the dress when wearing it.



                          Measurements:
                          (measured flat, across)

                          Total Length (measured from back of neck to longest point on hem): 37.5"
                          Bust: 30" (the dress' cotton composition allows it some stretch beyond this measurement)

                          These are great dresses for layering or wearing by themselves in the summer.

                          BOTH SOLD
