Re: RICK OWENS SS09

RO hi-tops are a complete rip off Nike AF1 and Lanvin are glorified Converses. Please; designers don't innovate much when it comes to sneakers.

PS: I wikipedia-ed John Mayer and this still doesn't ring a bell, not having television was the best decision I ever took (yrs ago).

Re: RICK OWENS SS09



yes, they are all interpretations of existing models, often admittadly so. hedi was always in chucks, not his own designs.

and the margiela army trainers piss me off to no end. i have never seen one iota of difference between his and the real deal ones.

Re: RICK OWENS SS09

I spoke with a guy in store in sweden that just started stocking rick owens, and made it very clear that they should contact me when it's time to order new stuff, cause i didn't find anything outof interest. Swedes are so scared of taking in the more designed stuff. all they had was basic wear such as ls t-shirts, and parka coats. I didn't see any of the interesting stuff :( I'm so annoyed. Why would anyone pay 500 euro for a stripy sweater when you can find one in the same quality for less than half of it? If they decide to take in expensive items, shouldn't they at least make them alluring with alternative design? Everyone thinks that creative designs sell harder, but at those prices, it should be the only thing keeping people to buy them. What's your opinion?

Re: RICK OWENS SS09

Was at Barneys the other day and tried on a couple of the Rick winter coats (wool). They fit strikingly well for the ectomorph body type (signature slim arms and high armpits). I'm usually a s-m in most jackets and the L was the best fit for me. Really amazing pieces, but hefty price tags too ($1700-$1800). Not sure if it's been mentioned in this thread yet, but I'll try to dig up some pictures.

Re: RICK OWENS SS09

the thingis w that wool jacket, you think the L is the best fit, but while the arm holes feel looser, the fit through the body goes to hell. stick w your size, i know it doesn't make any sense.

I was very surprised to find RO at NK when I was in Stockholm last month. They didn't have anything particularly exciting but it was cool to see his stuff being sold in our neck of the woods. Need to visit again soon ;)

Re: RICK OWENS SS09



Hey, I want to pull the trigger on one of the DRKSHDW t-shirts from yoox and was wondering if anyone can guide me size-wise. (Small v. medium)

I'm about a US 38, and I have some Margiela outerwear that fits perfectly in a 38. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience with the sizing on these higher-end brands.
