Re: Carol Christian Poell
I think Poell is less conceptual than he was (as Johnny stated before - his women's line was very conceptual).. but he still has concepts to his collections - the problem is the names of the collections and the ideas of the collections aren't really told to very many people - this past collection poell was playing with the idea of larger people wearing his clothes - the massive, thick, cut sole on one of his boots/shoes to support added body weight, the ruched waist pants, etc. A lot of it turns out to be art rather than something you'd actually wear though.
I like to think there are ideas behind most of the things he does - but he lets the buyer interpret it (or not) since he doesn't really explain himself - nor should he have to i guess.
