Re: Carol Christian Poell

I wonder what Maxfield picked up for SS08? I'll have to stop by in a month or two...

So A couldn't confirm whether it was true or not?

Re: Carol Christian Poell



might be too early... as of about 2 weeks ago they were still producing S/S pieces...

man, to have a CCP-less F/W would be sad :(

Re: Carol Christian Poell

the thought from headquarters is that he's so far behind on a normal shipping schedule that he might need to take a season of to catch up. it's all speculation at this point.

Re: Carol Christian Poell

FYI at EM the Buckle boot is a Size 7 and $2095 AUD... I saw them in the flesh and they were amazing but a bit too dramatic for my personal wardrobe... They also had the Paper Cotton Jointed Blazer and matching Jointed Knee Pants that were beautiful... But I don't think that I will be messing with that beautiful but fragile material anymore... I also did try on the fabled CCP Leather Jointed Hoodie and it certainly is modern day medieval body armour...

Re: Carol Christian Poell



man... a jointed suit... so perfect. Like you said though uparmoured, at the very least we know the pants will be problematic.

Still would love to see more detailed photos of the jointed leather jacket (it's really $10k eh?). It just looks so awesome from the few photos we've seen of it on here.

Thanks for the quick rundown!

Re: Carol Christian Poell



The Jointed Leather Hood was really around that $10k mark. The Leather Jointed Elbow Bomber is already around $8000 AUD! I don't think that the Jointed Leather Hood is a jacket that you would want to throw on everyday unlike the Overlock or Fencing. If you can imagine that you were a very little person and you made the upper and fore arms of a suit out of the center portion of a toilet paper roll tube and the torso out of a larger roll, then you are half way there...

Viewing the full suit almost reconverted me into believing in Paper Cotton... Funny thing about the pants it that, by the end, I was walking around with a huge tear in the pant ass seam... CCP has brought shame upon mine buttocks... SHAME!

Re: Carol Christian Poell



Damn, 2095 for those boots...Well, I guess that isn't so bad considering the side zip boots will probably end up costing that much this season anyway..

Albert, not sure if this one was posted yet...

I have to give it up to EM, they make some very interesting buys! They should be receiving SS08 in the next 2 weeks as well...

Re: Carol Christian Poell



thanks guys and thanks Cas for the photo of it!

Damn... that is one hardcore jacket. Once again... if I only had unlimited funds....

Re: Carol Christian Poell



Yea man, it's jointed in every possible place! Back, front, elbow, neck...shit is nuts! It's definitely more of a show piece than a wearable one.

In SS08, I think the dual layer kangaroo bomber is one of my favorite, 'different' leathers he's done in quite some time.
