Originally posted by mrbeuys View PostI can relate to this, I don't enjoy looking at myself in or walking past mirrors, makes me feel like someone (myself) is watching me which feels like I am being exposed. Something about their only purpose being to duplicate reality doesn't sit right with me. I am still trying to grasp the original, don't bother me with another copy.
I do prefer private mirrors, so the ones at RO Seoul should be supplementary to ones in the fitting rooms. I'm not too fond of the set-up at Atelier, where you have to exit the fitting room to know what something looks like on you.

At least in a gym, mirrors around the free weight area are a safety consideration as much as anything. This summer my gym had no mirrors anywhere except in one tiny room, and so whenever I started doing a new exercise my trainer and I needed to go there so I could know what proper form looked like. I'm always uncomfortable using weights with no mirrors (cardio, cables, and other machines are another issue).Hobo: We all dress up. We all put on our armour before we walk out the door, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re trying to be someone else.

the mirrors seem to be here and there..then theres the zigzag wall of mirrors.. for a sec there i thought the whole store, wall to wall was mirrored..that would be freaky.
but i agree, its nice to hold up the garment, look at it, then put it in front of yourself in the mirror and think, does this shade look nice with my skin? is it too long on me? etc before taking it to try on in the dressing room.
if it was an outer piece like jacket or cardi i'd just try it on thereyou stole my signature :insert mad face:

it is critically important to form to have mirrors around IMO. when i am military pressing 275, i don't want to guess as to hand position.

I agree that the mirrors are excessive. Many stores seem to do this. I like having some mirrors outside of the changing rooms because it means you can try on a coat or some shoes without having to go into the changing room. But sooner or later it gets too much. On the other hand, not having mirrors in the changing room should be a punishable crime. Chegini does it, and it bothers me every time because the fawning SA always tell you how great everything looks before you've even taken a look yourself. Obnoxious.
I like every other aspect of the store though. The choice of stone/cement, the color of it, the extreme adherence to basic geometrical forms. Really beautiful IMO.

two questions:
(1) how does leather jackets in milk colour age / does it get really dirty easily?
(2) does anyone have stock pics / runway pics for 2008/2009 Fall? Can't find them anywhere for Stag (not womens).calvinc - "Found this place and omg the people here are so cool and they dress super ultra mega well!"
