Carol Christian Poell

I mean... when wearing the tee normal, the sleeves roll up which doesn't look too good IMO (although I know some new-rave skinnys like that), plus I can imagine it not beeing to comfortable, no?

"not looking good" + "not comfortable" = CCP

I apologize to ask about a "simple tee" but somehow that thing just ... well got my interest

never handled a short sleeved version, long sleeves might seem more interesting, and more appropriate actually, afaik, the whole shoulder/armpit are seamless constructed.. thus can be worn as a top, and bottom.. - they can be worn as pants and the legs can go through the arm sleeves with less restrictions.. the thought of it is abit wtf.. but when i saw a lady wear it in person that way. outcome was quite interesting - it look like slim fitted dropcrotch, (with holes beneath). weird but yeah, interesting. : \

something like this.. imagine shirts wear upside down.. but more poell weirdness

^ Thanks for the insight!
Of course it is a bit weird ... but ... I like this stuff

for art

Where's that at? EM? Never been, so it's a complete guess. I love the image of the woman in the "boxed" shoes.
Speaking of which, the bridged, high boots at Lazzari are one of the most impressive women's boots I've ever seen. Would love to see them worn. I think the bridge makes them.

^ not em, that's prague by louis dijksman in antwerp..

[MaxM]

Does somebody know if they have those bridged high boots at one of the L'Eclaireur stores in Paris?

[JetLag]

Yep, in brown (better than the black ones imo) at rue Herold :)

[MaxM]

Great!!! Thanks P, hopefully this will work out

[endersgame]

sorry if this is a repost but i love this rhombus bag...

[Peasant]

^That bag is really amazing. I like the taller version more. It looks like you'd need to oil it if it sits too long. Squeaks when you get your wallet out.

please don't make threads for small questions like this, there are individual designer topics as well as a Small questions thread which can be used for this.

to answer your question, SAFE is the name of that collection but the word is also used on items that are produced continuously over seasons, these include at least derbies and side zip boots.

[Oh weh mir]

^Fuckin' A. You tell it like it is.

As far as SAFE is concerned:

I think it's more to be associated with all CCP leather work and is not just used to mark reoccurring pieces, since it is branded on many items unique to specific collections as well as all instruction booklets.

I could be wrong though.

My assumption is that it means "safe for human consumption", and is sort of like the USDA stamp.
The irony being that usually it's placed on items that may or may not actually be 'safe'. Sort of humorous, since CCP's is not a large scale production. So it's most likely meant to be taken as a comment on there being no oversight in the fashion industry.
