After all, its unsustainable business model rooted in weekly drops has encouraged a consumption cycle where last week’s purchase is no longer relevant only a week later, pressuring consumers to buy again.

… like Highsnobiety’s monthly collaboration-drops consisting mostly of nylon are that much better.

A huge admission from some of the folks who have been pushing the idea from the beginning.

I have a feeling this is a move solely based on the trend of ecological awareness. We can hope this article reaches at least a small percentage of their audience (the one that stills has the attention-span to read it) and maybe even makes them rethink their spending habits.

Thanks for the comment. Couldn't agree more with you, NIckefuge. Nevertheless, it is a big admission.

In the meantime, we will continue our simple and steady effort that now spans 40 years, to really do something about sustainability.

And we will continue to invest in media that has and continues to speak out about real design and real issues pertaining to it.

In so doing, we happily present our new AW2019 lookbook campaign shot by Guido Barbagelata in Paris that we are now proudly running on SZ magazine's site (via our banner ad) as well as the upcoming issue of Many of Them coming out soon. We strongly believe it is important to help sustain the few independent media voices that are not simply commercial mouthpieces for corporation fashion and their trends, which now more than ever is becoming "sustainability" greenwashing. We encourage more of our independent designer and brand colleagues brethren to do the same...

Dear Geoffrey,

I've been meaning to make an inquiry with regards to a few menswear pieces that were featured in the beautiful 'Onion' FW19/20 collection showcased in Paris. I seem to recall that a few stand alone pictures of the garments were taken at the Paris Showroom by Cathedral which were of particular interest. I'm curious to know if perhaps any stores will be carrying these pieces in the coming months. I have attached URL links to their respective looks for your kind consideration.

And this beautiful layering of shirt and vest:

Fortunately I own a pair of OCP09 trousers which I feel will compliment the striped fabric of the shirt featured in the first two links

Dear Mojo1990,
Thanks very much for your post. Apologies to you for the long wait for a reply, we are unable to post anything due to record season and extreme work loads. Will briefly try to reply to your queries…for the striped shirt in your first 2 pictures linked above (DOS18) we made 12 pieces for the world. First two of these were delivered to Arts & Science in Aoyama. Eight pieces are now arriving at Cathedral in Osaka and Ginza (many are pre-booked), and the final 2 pieces have just been made for Liberte in Kobe and arriving next week. For the vest, unfortunately no dealers are carrying the DOJ15 this season. Five pieces of the shirt/jacket worn with the vest in your photo were made (DOS01) and have been delivered as follows: 1 piece for Persuade in Bilbao, 3 for Souterrain in Roppongi, 1 for Zovin in Shenzhen. Our Japanese dealers pre-book most of their pieces for their clients in advance before our deliveries arrive so please contact the above dealers asap to reserve or request availability. Thanks again for your post and support.

Best wishes, Geoffrey & the team

Thanks again to everyone,

just wondering for the details , really Mr Geoffrey i define your work as the algorithm of art & tailoring

[Nickefuge]

After touching every single GBS piece at Darklands I am convinced, one could take a nap in your clothes, wake up and still feel and look sharp. In my book, this is the biggest compliment garments can receive.
