Kompressorkev, great writeup... i wonder what you do for a living, cuz i'll give you a job in financial underwriting if you want one. u could sell a cold shnit on a stick to the eskimos.
I'd like to see these sock-boots with the overlock stitchwork matching anatomic landmarks on the foot.... I didn't know this piece existed for the current collection!
Several of the garments in this collection reference the notion of unity, as Runner brought to our attention. The seamless tornado boots, the scarf built into the coat, the sock which functions as a boot, the seamless knits, the leather jacket and dress shirt with gloves as an extension of their sleeves. The combination of pieces proposes a unity in the garment itself. Employing the selvedge (or perhaps the not-inconsiderable homophone and historical term “self-edge”) technique represents a progression of Carol’s seamwork towards streamlining. The teleology of Carol’s seamwork progression – from tape, then to glue, and now to selvedge – demonstrates this concern of revisiting the essence of the garment. The selvedge, self-seamed technique solicits no such embellishment to the seam apart from the original material itself. It’s an old technique that is labor-intensive, which speaks to not only Carol’s penchant for perfection (selvedge seams preserve the edges from fraying or unraveling), but also a redemption of focus on the essential garment itself. The selvedge technique represents more than just simplicity, however, as it contributes to the narrative of consonance and synthesis (in many aspects). Selfsame, selfseam, self-edge.
You're right, but I'd rather speak of a broken unity or a broken continuity : the integrated gloves are fingerless, the invisiseam of the spiral pants reveals the flesh and makes the seam look like a sccar, the pleats, still present, but maybe not with such a strong presence as before, of the shoes and the boots break the plain continuity of the leather, etc.
If somebody could approach him, I'd like to know if he would say that continuity is first, or discontinuity, in his work.
Fuck you and your viewpoint, I hate this depoliticized environment where every opinion should be respected, no matter how moronic. My avatar was chosen just for you, die in a ditch fucker.
I prefer to see it as, y'know, a sort of continuous unbroken discontinuosity, as contiguity underscored (or under"scarred", if you like), by fractional disassociation.

comex9: i could use some work, sure i'd take a job =)
faust: a good way to stave off boredom!
chinorlz: runner gave a verbal description of a bunch of pieces from the collection some pages back. it's not the first time for a CCP sock-boot (rubber soled socks from Mainstream-Downstream SS04), but this promises to be another level.
christian: i'm not sure what comes first in this collection, but i like your point.

I've seen them today, they are made in soft deer skin, dipped in latex at the bottom, look like old ninja socks, are great but fit small, impossible to try them in 7 (the only size available).

We’ve seen the shaping that goes into the canvas. We’ve seen the shaping that goes into the pad. Everything that was done to these bits ha...
