random fashion thoughts

I am really running out of brands or people to buy from.

You know, sometimes it's not a bad problem to have. Perhaps Vetements will be good.

I know, my wardrobe is already extensive enough as it is, but I have never been one for a small and 'curated closet.

There are still An and Filip, if only their good stuff wouldn't be so hard to find. And Yohji and Dries of course, but now that I think about it, I haven't bought a single thing the entire season.

I am actually really excited about Vetements, but I am weary about shopping online in general and even more so for new brands. I may actually make a trip to Antwerp to try it on.

Christophe Lemaire quit Hermès to focus on his eponymous label.

Good for him, but dammit, I only started buying Hermès RTW recently, mainly because of Lemaire. Got a coat from there last winter and I want to sleep in it and never take it off, it's that wondeful.

I know he'll continue with his own label, but I doubt they'll match the quality there unless the prices will climb to astronomical levels and I dont think that will work for a smaller label.

Véronique Nichanian designs Hermès menswear, Christophe Lemaire did womenswear. Hermès quality really is incredible.

Edit: I don't know if you buy womenswear or menswear, in which case this might not be useful info...

preview of vetements
the lines are sleek and fluid. I think you have to be pretty tall to pull it off though...

Really? That's fantastic news, then a couple of short hops to Antwerp are definitely in order. Thank you for the information Shucks!


And rider, I swoon on a regular basis over the preview, but won't order blind as I have no clue about the fit. Thankfully, a couple of great Boutiques within a few hours driving range will stock them. We'll see about the length and proportions, I am around 5'8 so it might work.

Shut up, Shucks, SZ magazine was supposed to break the news, lol.

I know, I was kidding.

I wondered, do people her own KVA sneakers? You see so many rick trainers, which look great and everyone praise, that I imagined there would be some love for KVA, at least the surgical or multilaced hightops. I`ve had the former for 3+ years and, not only are they super comfortable ( I wear them for hours and hours, walking, riding my motorcycle, etc) but even with all the wear they have, they look quite pristine as well.

I got a pair of the multilaces/mummy sneakers he did for Dior. My favorite pair of shoes. Don't get much wear atm though.

Lately I'm feeling that mixing one designer piece brings more attention to its exceptional qualities than wearing head to toe designer.

I agree with this 100% (not just because that I can only afford a few pieces)

[550BC]

head to toe in a specific designer creates a better silhouette and synergy between each piece and keeps the balance to let all items be equal. I sometimes wear basic H&M T-Shirts and it can work, but it looks very weak compared to the leather on top or the trousers etc. there is no balance...
