Hey, Johnny, great to see you!!! And what a damn nice first post. We must see pictures. Everything sounds awesome. What did Helena buy? I really hope she joins, too - it'd be great. Shoot me an email when you get a chance, I've been wondering when you'd come back from France. Is the Danish label's name Kristensen-du-Nord? http://kristensen-du-nord.com/

BTW, did L'Ecrablabla have this? http://www.brownsfashion.com/BrownsFashionSite/product/BrownsDesigners_Designer%20Index_Men_AnnDemeulemee ster/79294.htm

My my, well done Johnny.

I bought these gold Helmut Lang shoes on ebay last week. I know that most of you guys here are probably thinking "ew" right now, but no matter - I've wanted these ever since I first laid eyes on them 3 years ago, and at last they are mine. (Provided they fit, that is...)

I love them [Y] Helmut Lang has always done the best shoes/accessories. These are cool, airy. I hope they fit!

[Buckwheat]

Nice to see you around Johnny.

Lovely shoes Droogist. No "ew" from me [Y]

Almost called INA in regards to the CCP brushed cotton jacket... but his stuff is so varied that I held off. Can't buy CCP sight unseen really hehe.

Just got a Carpe Diem wrinkled black leather shirt (psyched!!!!)

[/quote]

from ebay i assume? i emailed that seller a BUNCH of times asking for a buy it now price with no response so i just held my bid. i guess you got him to respond though, what was the damage? :P

[/quote]

Hey mate, I'm surprised that he didn't write you back. The shirt ended up costing me about $600 which I readily paid.

As for CCP shoes, I got a thin rubber sole put on my pair. In the end, I don't think I could have handled seeing the leather on the bottom get scuffed and scraped up. Jo-Jo and Marco at A both highly recommended getting that done. Same goes for Carpe shoes.

I've got a couple of Carpe pieces that I'm looking to part with. An off-white long sleeved paneled tee (sz. 5 I believe... fits like a DH Large) and a freeform gray hat (brand new from Maxfield's). Let me know if anyone is interested!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. i can't believe it, i was the high bidder too and he still didn't respond after i sent him 2-3 emails.

email me about your cdiem stuff. maybe you can make it up for stealing that shirt out from under me.

[xcoldricex]

i got this season's raf simons high collar/oversized hoodie w/zipper and the lmaltieri trousers from droogist (hopefully those work out). waiting for stuff to come in the mail

[droogist]

Thanks Faust & Buckwheat - turns out the size is perfect. They are freaking awesome. :D

coldrice - I sent them off today, so with any luck you won't have to wait too long. Hope they fit!

[dontbecruel]

I got this Raftop (in cream, size 50) today from Yoox. Unfortunately it's too narrow across the shoulders for me, so it has returned whence it came. If anyone (a bit less boxy-shaped than I am) fancies it once it's back up on the site, it is a lovely oaty cream colour in the flesh and I definitely recommend it at the price I paid (£72).

[xcoldricex]

are you normally a 50?

[dontbecruel]

48 or 50 depending on cut

[xcoldricex]

hm... would prefer the black though.

good news about yoox- return fees are down to $5 (at least in the states- as opposed to the $8)

[dontbecruel]

I don't think we have a return fee at all over here. Haven't noticed being charged it anyway.

[Buckwheat]

I know I have mentioned somewhere that I don't need another coat....but I just got this one in beige [:#]

I was inspired by worker wears and lab coat lately (Faust's Margiela photo)....I want to wear this as an overcoat...over a blazer/jacket...will see how that works. And maybe I will fix my hair like that too [6]

And notice I have sloved my little "/> tag after the image problem! Big thanks to Droogist! (It's actually bunch of other codes that were included in it...not just that little "/> tag)

[Monty76]

I bought this Y-3 Hoodie, its called the terror hood and apparently it was made in limited numbers (not sure if the SA was just trying to convince me to buy it)... i liked it becasue it has a furry strip down the back of the hood

men.style.com

I also bought this Y-3 travel wallet and this ann demeulemeester belt

[MYRIADE]

At the Madrid sales I bought a MARNI blazer and shirt, a miu miu blazer, a dries van noten sweater and leather belt, Victor & Rolf jeans and shirt, Prada leather shoes, all of them my favourites wich I collect pieces from every season!

[Faust]

Nice buys, everyone.

I bought this hood/scarf by Ann Dem. for my wife. It's lovely. I like the idea - you can make any coat/jacket a hooded one :-)

[darkanimal]

Rick Owens Black Waxed Denim Jacket with extended sleeves
April 77 Meteor Jacket

The Mask Thermal distressed layer hoodie (Japanese Label)
April 77 Joey shinny black cords skinny pants
A Magazine (cheaper by 8$ in London newstands)

Jas MB canvas/leather messenger bag
Inexpensive Scarf by London label

Very contented, I didn't want to splurge so much on clothes in Europe.

[Faust]

Nice haul! That Jas MB bag is great. Is it the one where the middle part is sort of knit?

[darkanimal]

Did you mean knit? If so it's not, just plain canvas and leather combo, the other side of that bag has a side zipper. I got it at Harvey Nicks, Doors on Carnaby area didn't have it, I guess for a small shop needing storage space.
