              Graham at re-porter.ca in Montreal will have some CCP from time to time - mixture of new and pre-owned. Other than that, there is no other retailer in Canada. Closest will be Atelier in NYC.

                the only reason i've heard of them is because they use to spam my personal email with pictures of new CCP deliveries - how they got my email is both unknown, and creepy.

                      Is a new collection coming?

                      Yup. Downhill. At a gentle pace.





                      Serious answer......

                      No.

                        I don't know that the video currently on his website is actually titled "Transition", but as often the case, I find myself attempting to read too far into Poell's work--getting lost in that often mystic rigorism and alienation that occurs when looking beyond the surface level of the garments and visuals themselves. In some capacities, it is quite aggravating and I am unable to at all discern what he means. It is almost at once humorous, sadistic and twisted--which much of his work seems to convey--but only if you are to look past the garments themselves.

                        I know, as stated before, that he has recently lost one of his primary patternmakers and that a delivered collection cannot be expected at any point soon, but is this also part of his latent desire to continually push the boundaries of fashion? I don't think his customers require an expansion upon the incredible self-edge, taped, melt-locked (ad infinitum) garments that he has been producing over the last decade--in some ways, it could be rather nice to just see newer silhouettes with the same treatments, but perhaps that is just me.

                          What special instructions should I give to dry cleaners about drycleaning a ccp blazer with taped seams? (I've had this blazer drycleaned 2x before and nothing bad happened.... but this is with a different dry cleaner so I just want to be safe.)

                            You have to tell them not to put the photos of the blazer online.

                                Pattern-maker was replaced but I doubt you'll see anything new until 2014 at least.
                                Old pattern-maker is gonna make her own ish and it'll probably be sick as fuck.
