      This jacket is ultimate test of manhood. If people are not laughing at you, then you're real badass.

            there's about a 45 second window that doesn't absolutely horrify me.

              Can we call it the goiter scarf?
              (is the scarf part of the jacket or no?)

                  i still don't like it in motion but the dayglo piping + music reminds me of tron
                  i like the goiter scarf conceptually. Wouldn't wear it.

                      I feel like this line illustrates the issues with being forced to evolve as a designer on everyone else's schedule. When an artist (I know, I know....Rick isn't an artist) hits a stride, he or she should be allowed to comfortably settle in and create some repetitive designs until the time comes when there is a natural evolution or progression.

                      You can't do that when buyers are always looking for the next season and the next buy. It just feels kind of forced to me. As someone mentioned, you can only play with the human silhouette in so many ways. After you're dropped the crotch down to where it drags the ground, subsequently taken the legs out altogether to create a skirt....the only real way to go is up.

                      I don't have any problem with the pants. I rather like most of them. I think it would come down to styling because most people aren't going to tuck in their shirts where the waistline is exposed. So I like the more fitted crotch. There's nothing extraordinary about them and I agree that a lot of the tailoring struck me as old Raf but I can appreciate these things more than the basketball court fantasy played out years ago.

                      I cannot understand the hazmat suit fetish. And I imagine the buys on the outerwear will be pretty slim and that most of that will hang around until the 70% sales start around the end of this year. I'm all for things that aren't practical, per se, but some of that stuff is downright absurd. Maybe that's the point. He's more popular than ever so maybe he feels like he's challenging the crowd that has recently propelled him into the position he's in.

                      Who knows. My feelings are that it's a lackluster presentation overall. The footwear seem really, really bad to me. The outwear is next level splungeâ„¢ (space glamour grunge...feel free to use that term)..it's lost the simplicity of what he's really known for in a lot of ways, in my opinion. I think one of the challenges for any designer is to flirt with what's referred to as cosplay without crossing the line into theatrical type garb. And Rick hasn't just flirted with that...it appears that he has embraced it on some of these pieces. I'm of the mindset that good styling should be subtly dramatic....some of the outerwear (as noted) would be more comfortable on the stage than on the street.

                      I know that he originally started out as a tailor but i've never felt those pieces were his strongest. Not that they're horrible but there are just better tailors out there in my eyes and there are only so many ways to cut a blazer and a pair of slacks.

                      Ultimately, I have purchased less and less Rick over the past 2 years. The pieces I do buy are from 08 or 09. I felt like I could relate to the aesthetic he was creating back then and now I really can't relate to this stuff. It's not you, Rick. I think it's me. Or maybe we've both drifted. Either way, I can appreciate some of this stuff for what it is but I prefer to not necessarily wear it if that's OK.

                      Another thing re: the footwear...I wish he would move beyond the Chuck Taylors on steroids thing. It's not unique, it's not original and it's not particularly exciting. But it seems like he continues to play around with that shape season after season and to be honest, they just look cheap. Remember how good his shoes/boots used to be? I know the quality was questionable but the designs were original, subtle, kind of tough looking. He put a pair of sails on the dunks and everything went to Hell after that.

                      And did one of those models have a PissDrunx tattoo on his neck?

                        Someone always asks what the song was. I can't say for certain but it sounded like this:

                        Boom, boom, boom, boom, BALLZ, boom, boom, boom, BALLZ, boom, boom, boom, BALLZ.

                        That probably won't help identify it but maybe there is a search engine that can translate that into a song title.

                            Ditto. Evolution is fine but not for the sake of it. Most of my favorite artists reached a peak and stayed there comfortably without straying. I cannot be convinced he had much to do with this collection and again, if u only saw the first 5 minutes, you wouldn't even believe it was ro.

                              I just wanted to be the 2nd person to say splunge.

                              No doubt LVR will get a selection of the hideous spaceman jackets...and no doubt they'll go for 70% off. I agree that the basketball nonsense was a miss for me as well, but I could never have predicted how popular it would become...I'm not looking forward to hazmat suits hitting the high street.
