Weird that they put it in different areas from NY to LA...Well LA doesn't carry the mainline so it kind of makes sense. But they definitely had the white poplin jean.

Nikov- They're really light, not very denim-ish. It's a perfect 'jean' for summer that's for sure.

thanks

i'll most likely pass on this one and wait to cop one in the fall. hopefully, he'll make them with real denim.

Nice one

[lowrey]

lmao

if I had the same sneakers as two of my friends, I wouldn't wear them if I were to hang out with them. too much is too much.

[Who?]

ML or any one in europe, do you know the euro retail for the heels?

[Chinorlz]

hahahahaha I love it!

To be fair though, the all black ones in the middle look the most "natural" of the lot. Wearing the same shirt as a friend when you go out is bad enough... large, loud, chunky footwear that is exactly the same is a downright travesty :)

[snafu]

lol where's that pic from

the other day i put on one white shoe and one black shoe without realising, dashing out, looked in the mirror was like WTF too much too much no matter how hard i try not to wear them i cant they is just so comfy and easy

[Nikov]

they look best when beat the fuck up. crispy clean = no no

[larssss]

after trying the reek sneeks on recently, i completely agree that they look better worn in.

however, i laugh at how often we jump on people for wearing them crispy clean, how else are you going to beat them up? take them outback and jump on them for a few days until they are worn in enough? Shouldn't the evolution be just as important as the result?

sounds like rick could make some extra cash selling a "distressed" model for people who want authenticity right away.

Agreed, I've seen some people get them unnaturally dirty in a matter of a few days which is highly contrived. I couldn't do that if I tried my best, would take me several months.

^slow burn is always better, why is everyone in such a rush?

street cred and e-acceptance yo

1.
I'm not good at subtlety. If you're not going to be discreet and quiet, then just go all the way and have the balls to shave off your eyebrows, bleach your hair, and put on some big bracelets.

2.
Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.

3.
I've lived in Paris for six years, and I'm sorry to say that the Ugly American syndrome still exists. Sometimes you just want to say "Stop destroying the landscape with your outfit." Still, from a design standpoint, I'm tempted to redo the fanny pack. I look at it as a challenge—it's something to react against.

4.
When a suit gets middle-of-the-road it kind of loses me—it has to be sharp and classic and almost forties.

5.
Hair and shoes say it all. Everything in between is forgivable as long as you keep it simple. Trying to talk with your clothes is passive-aggressive.

6.
There's something a little too chatterboxy about color. Right now I want black, for its sharpness and punctuation.

7.
Jean-Michel Frank, the thirties interior and furniture designer, supposedly had 40 identical double-breasted gray flannel suits. He knew himself and is a wonderful example of restraint and extravagance.

8.
I hate rings and bracelets on men. I'm not a fan of man bags, or girl bags either—or even sunglasses. I don't like fussy accessories. Isn't it more chic to be free? Every jacket I make has interior pockets big enough to store a book and a sandwich and a passport.

9.
With layering, sometimes the more the better. When you layer a lot of black you're like a walking Louise Nevelson sculpture, and that's pretty attractive. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is also one of the most attractive things you can do.

10.
It's funny—whenever someone talks about rules, I just want to break them. I recoil from the whole idea of rules.
