m.a+ (Maurizio Amadei)

Re: + (Maurizio Amadei)



[quote user="Faust"]That's cool, buratino - I am not knocking your style. I guess I've never stated the reason MA does not impress me, so here it is. I am not crazy about the simplicity of his designs. Not that simplicity is bad, but this D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) feel of his clothes leaves much to be desired - it is a far cry from Altieri's mastery. I think that today we pay much more for labor than for materials - and I don't see his clothes as labor intensive (with few exceptions). Honestly, I'd rather give my money to Albert to make one of those wallets or chains, or make some of the things myself (if I was inclined to do so, which I am not). From an aesthetic point of view, I also don't like his clothes - they are just not nearly as elegant as Carpe Diem was. That's the thing I love about CDiem most - no matter how distressed or how arte povera they may look, there is an inherent elegance in them. I just don't see this with MA. Cheers. [51]

perhaps one day you will find your breakthrough MA+ piece and your reservations will become seats at the fine table of riches that is MA+.

Re: + (Maurizio Amadei)

I can understand both viewpoints very well. many of the garments are very simple, it could easily be said that they're not worth the money due to the basic unfinished construction, but then again thats something another person would gladly pay for. I personally like m.a+ a lot largely because of the raw construction but also because of the interesting cuts, for example in the jackets.

Faust, i'm on m.a.+ side like some people here(just from the first time i've seen his women brown heavy leather pants hard towear about 2 years ago(still in the shop)), i find his minimalism to be a fruit of his talent & expirience(+ the materials he choses) while really a historical fact thatk.h. do not sell his goods because of quality(as they say(last summer)), degli effetti don't know why(Massimo says Amadei always after Altieri), dantone havn't seen(in December), Moscow- nothing,l'eclaireur just added the clothes to bags, chegini used to right from m.a.+ start till now

and not to forgetthe underwear! :)

Faust.. i thought ud love those supple washed leather jackets that MA+ is now offering..

the ones on mindrtrive are fuckin ridiculous...

Im not too big on the clothes myself...but the coat pnod bought looks pretty damn fine..i think the newer stuff is better..

i suppose theres plenty of room for improvement in their case..

I'd rather get a piece of history that are CDiem leather shirts. One day.

I see why some people are attracted to his stuff because of its minimalism. I like minimalism myself, but I still find this too "amature."

i started on speaking here about the reaction of proffesionals on m.a.+ & it's presence in mainstores because of my own feelingfrom the first day i saw the first m.a.+ piece that the amplitude of peoples attitude to the line will be very big from considering it to be genious or nothing

to say truthly, never tryed "a piece of history on me", but each day i feel i come closer & closer to it, hopefully some sources still have it(esp. jp yahoo auction)

Same here. One day.

To be honest, I also thought MA+ will have a warmer reception, since he seems to be the strongest echo of CDiem and stores would need to fill the void. Rather strange.

Your phone number or the number you'd agree to buy it at?!!

[86] The former, of course. I meant it figuratively - I don't know if you kept my phone number since your memorable NYC voyage.

Reading this entire threadmakes me want to get a new wallet.

Bags I can wait on. I don't carry bags in the cold/cooler months.
