    Thx for the video, good reference.
    Well, if you put Yangli's work in a much greater context, then we have to admit that nothing is new anymore, everything has been done already.
    what i meant by "fresh" earlier, was just comparing to the so-called gothic, dark, obscure style which prevailed among most of members in this forum

    i don't understand the brand at all. copying lookbook styles eg. celine and yohji y's 2000. using obvious shapes and details as yohji and raf as stated before - "mix of Yohji Yamamoto and older Raf Simons". using the same mills as jil sander. what is the purpose of this brand? what he offers better than the brands he obviously look for "inspiration".

      well duh, we're dealing with minimalism here. whilst there doesn't seem to be much disparity at first glance, the devil is in the details.

      ended up ordering the crewneck and MA-1 bomber from LN-CC anyway, with the 20%extra off it would've been rude not to. just going to go with the shorter sleeve length and make it "my thing".

          look is subjective so that's perfectly understandable.

          in terms of construction & quality you won't handle anything remotely close in that store though.

            anyone else see the menswear as a c level fashion student's tribute to raf simons menswear?

            down to the slightly cheaper materials and twisted disfunctutional raf esque features

              what does an institutions arbitrary standard have to do with anything?

                    Showing as it's in a showroom. Just came back from it.

                      I'd like to hear what you thought of it, Faust. I've been liking his clothes the past seasons... I think the fabrics and quality of his clothes are among the best for the "non-artisanal" designers right now.

                        Yup. Didn't expect him to go all out with a budget for a runway. There's so little coverage of it, I'm hoping for more in a few days.

                          Very curious to see this mens collection, the usage of greyish/bluish celadon in his most recent womens collection was divine. (See the pics on his website though, not the ones on eg nowfashion).
                          Not the same shade, but just to help people see the beauty of the celadon family of tones:
                          "He described this initial impetus as like discovering that they both were looking at the same intriguing specific tropical fish, with attempts to understand it leading to a huge ferocious formalism he characterizes as a shark that leapt out of the tank."

                            There's almost nothing about the showroom, online, other than photos of some items for preorder from Cruvoir. I was expecting more coverage from other sites.

                            :(

                              SS16 men's lookbook is now online:



                              Really killer collection IMO. Anyone know what the newspaper / magazine clippings are about?

                                Did not expect it to be up on his site so quickly, if ever. That collarless coat, and oversized black t-shirt is nice.
