I've always thought the Ann necklace was meant to represent the crown of thorns. Not necessarily as a religious reference but maybe from a historical context or symbolism of it.

Correct. It is a remake of a piece she first showed in S/S 03, and it was actually the first SZ front page image :-)

nice mike, I think I know what cardigan you're talking about [above is actually the scarf jacket], what materials in both pants and cardi?

haha! how do you know which one I got? are you hiding in my closet? I wasn't sure if that was the correct photo of the top piece, but the one I got is the infinity cardigan in that silk/cotton jersey material.

bring on FW10!

gray is still better though ;-)

[dji]

heh, if I already had a black moto I probably would have picked up the gray instead. still like the jut neck more although this jacket is great, seems odd to me that Julius would cut a S/S jacket with more room for layering than the F/W leathers though.

I think the Ann leather necklace is a good price as well, but probably because it took 15 minutes to make and can be made of leather scraps. The idea is fantastic though. I can't believe I forgot about the '03 collection.

There's also a bracelet version here but for some reason it's more than four times the cost of the necklace. It says it's leather and silver but I don't see any silver in the photo.

Anyone else on here have the Ann beaded necklace with skull? Mine has broken 4 times. Every time it breaks I re-string it with something I think is stronger, but it just broke again and am looking for suggestions.

No complaints out of those of us with chest and shoulders!
I cannot wait until the gray one is produced. I think it's just about the best leather I have ever seen.

[dji]

actually I found that it fits the same across the chest, just the rest of the body and the arms are cut roomier. I don't mind that this one isn't shrink-wrapped like the jut, it's still quite a flattering fit even with the extra space.

look forward to seeing your gray jacket E, it does look great in the runway and item shots but it's always difficult to get a feel for the colour without seeing it in person.

I bought some cheap calf leather scraps, after looking at a few pictures, I made this:

can you post the construction process for those of us that are curious?

apparently I wasn't the only one, but I was after the rick so don't worry. our wardropes are starting to look very similar, especially seeing as I final joined the rick star wars tie fighter skort crew last week, thanks to some Y! action. infinity cardi is a solid pick up, but watch out with the knotted drop crotches, don't tie the string too tight..better to just re-tie the knots to fit to avoid string fail.

Ruh Roh. Does that mean I should look into a Size 3 then D?

[Raw]

Great purchases D, now show us a fit pic with the jacket and pants .
Nick aren't you a size 3 in _7 anyways?

[stereophobic]

Moto normally fits half size to one size larger B, but since D says it fits the same across the chest...

[dji]

unless you want it a full size tighter in the chest I wouldn't size down, it's definitely truer to size than the previous motos I've tried.

[klue]

damien you crazy bastard :D good stuff man.

those pants are from the MA line correct? hows the fit/size on you?
