Introduce Yourself

Re: Introduce Yourself

I'm Thomas, 17 years old, highschool student etc etc

Truthfully I have no idea how I fell into loving design so much as about three or four years ago I had virtually no interest in it at all. I like Nicholas Ghesguière, Dries van Noten, Marni, Jil Sander, etc. Big architecture and interiors fan as well but I really haven't had much exposure to it beside what I see in magazines and the odd book.

I came to stylezeitgeist mostly because it seems much less like some hectic social networking site and more like an environment to learn and discuss what looks like (so far anyways) everything that I'm interested in.

Re: Introduce Yourself

welcome, thomas. yeah good pointthe last thing i'd want in a place to discuss fashion is for it to become a hectic social networking site...that's passe.

Re: Introduce Yourself



Hello my name is Johannes andI have just turned 19.

Im currently attending a highschool in Denmark. When im not studying, im working at a hardware store or playing football / practising MMA - and ofc. spending time with friends and the girlfriend.

As for fashion, I first started caring when I feel in love with the clothes from Acne, that I saw in some local stores. After a few months it felt a bit boring just to wear Acne, and I started to look for other brands - ended up with dior homme (and like other people here on the MSN forum). Started reading more fashion magazines and discovered brands like Number (N)ine, Undercover, Ann Demeulmeester and so on - but first really fell in love with this darker and different clothing(very different from basic acne clothing, and dior homme tops and jeans) when I visited the store ParisTexas (godI hate thedon'thave a webshop). As for now, im justso thorn on what towear. I like the whole YohjiYamamoto and CDG h+look, but just hard to find here, no to mention that I feel a bit weird when wearing them. Right now I feel im more into undercover, and number nine - as I feel much more comfortable just wearing black jeans, with a t-shirt orshirt/knit.But my mind is always so thorn, as I love both looks.

i've broken through that barrier already noddy (the age thing not the surgery requirement), still "all natural". Of course jesus had the ultimate face lift, all those cuts being erased on the accension, and eternal life thereafter. (cf Nicole Kidman)

Re: Introduce Yourself

i had forgotten to mention that!

Re: Introduce Yourself

the film (paris texas, not TOCNM) was exactly what i was referencing in my original post...i thought it was brilliant someone would name a store after it. It's gotta carry Yohji though, given Wim Wenders fan status. Actually if i was to open a store called Paris, Texas it would carry Yohji, CdG, Lanvin, Raf Simons, JW,Number (N)ine, and then an assorted mix of custom made Western style clothing.
