Anybody know the difference between MORPH and WORPH fabric?
I have experienced the MORPH fabric and it was quite dense and stiff.
No idea though about WORPH besides that both have the irregularities as mentioned and shown on the previous pages."Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that"

I really enjoy the lines and shapes of Poell's patterns, which to me, perfectly blend the conservative with a contemporary update. Some of these images, though, highlight a certain rustic element about his work that I never liked much - I'd love for once to see something a bit less broken-in looking, just as Rick also seems to embrace a cleanness in his last few collections that leaves the grunge element behind in a focus on clean, stripped-back proportions and silhouettes...

/\ Disagree (understanding that this a wish based on your personal style). Life is not clean and streamlined - at best we can get a mix of the pure and the stained, and Poell's clothes stride that balance well.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Even if it may seem so.. I am pretty sure that this kind of formalism is nowhere near poell's intentions. I think you should reconsider a new approach, which begins with nowadays popular fashion culture and ends somewhere within poell's craftsmanship..
His clothes question the beauty not because they "look worn" but because they have gone through a process of artisanal experimentalism.. Why else should he invent new names for all his materials etc..?
A pair of good alden boots look awesome when they're worn in but you will never manage to make a pair of alden's look like a pair of poell's..

...just a quick 2 cents..most of Poell's worn and rugged pieces are leather goods. Seems like he really appreciates the fact that these were once living, breathing beings. They lived and broke themselves in. Personally, I feel they look much more appropriate with flaws rather than a perfect, unblemished canvas.

I think there is a refined side to his work as well, the balance between the two is what I like about it."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.
