Re: Gustavo Lins
i'm not an expert, but from what i've seen (i've had 8 pieces) his stuff is really well-tailored. the styling tends to be a little more formal, but he uses a lot of sharp detailing with textured leather accents and hook closures. reallynice use of materials, lots of leather-lined pockets, hidden internal pockets,textured/ stitchedleather, and hidden leather (under the lapels,under the collar, inside the sleeve cuffs, etc).as the owner of The Library said, he uses a lot of subtle details that takes notes from womenswear. his signature is the upside-down "T" on the back which harkens back to his background in architecture.
he seems to do more womenswear than menswear. i think that his womenswear is a bit more innovative; he bases his work off kimonos.he says that his menswear is made around the basicwardrobe of coat, jacket, shirts, trousers. he recently had a Haute Couture showing in Paris for S/S08 (Collection 009) which was mainly womenswear, maybe even all womenswear. Collection 010 seems to be only womenswear in the show, but i know there's a few men's pieces as well in some stores.
his sizing seems to be a bit generous. i'm a size 48 and i normally fit a 2. i've tried many pieces in a 3 and they're always a little big. however, my most recent pieces of his "Gustavolins Atelier" seem to fit more true-to-size. i have a shortjacket in size 3 which fits perfectly, and even a wool / leather hook shirt which is a 4, but fits only slightly big on me. i think that from what i've seen, his more recent works are closer in size.
his stuff is quite expensive, but i think that Gustavo Lins pieces are pretty unique. i mean they're simple and sharply cut, but they have a distinct edge to them with his use of details.
also, i have a leather jacket of his in the classifieds, for much much much less than retail (http://stylezeitgeist.com/forums/thread/94557.aspx). i might be putting up some more in the future.
