0044 Paris SS08 (S. Shimamura)

[ardeetee]

I did a search on here and didn't find anything posted about this label called 0044 Paris. I think I first saw their pieces from SS08 on one of the Japanese sites/blogs but I don't remember which. From what I see on their website, it looks very much in line with the SZ aesthetic so I was curious if anyone can comment on any of the pieces? I was planning on going next week but would like to try and get some background information first if possible.

Definitly an interesting designer in the lines of what people like on the forum, and quite affordable for once. There are 2 shops in Paris and I also passed in front of one in Tokyo but they were relocating.Menswear is well served.

In the same style I would highly recommand to check another japanese brand called LGB...

The prices don't seem 'that' great. Pollyanna is stocking them this season.

from what i've seen so far nothing super interesting except that sheer pocket tee on pollyanna but the stuff looks okay i guess, they are selling some of their accessories like necklaces, hats, etc at why-lip

0044 reminds me a lot of If Six Was Nine, part of the Maniac company, and sister company to Le Grand Bleu (L.G.B. like osn19 said). there's a heavy use of animal skulls, Catholic art and French heritage, as well as slim, dark, and drapey stuff. i haven't seen much of the men's stuff. 0044 is sister company to japanese company n44 (no.44)
