The Viridi-Anne

[dji]

what is it with the recent obsession with BMI on this site, people should be considering their body fat percentage instead...

[Who?]

it's true, BMI is one of the worst indicators of good health, but I am guilty of using the term as well.

[raddy]

not at all, and the guy of the Aoyama's store told me so . They can't wear bigger than 46. But I guess you can find sizes 4 or 5 in other countries. Someone here should know it.

how long has va been in aoyama?

I mean that you are stating the most obvious things.. It is very common knowledge that only sizes 1,2,3 and of course free size are stocked in Japan... usually only sizes 1 and 2..

therefore i thought you might be trolling..

also BMI is unimportant, i dont even think BFP is a good measurement because it doesn't take into account water held in the body nor does it seperate essential fats and bad fat etc etc.. Unless you get it done professionaly via DEXA or the likes.. skin fold or the BIA method just doesn't cut it...

useless rant, sorry

Size 5 doesn't exist. Are these people all so damn skinnyy or what?

size 5 does exist! i used 2 buy alot of virii for my old work place in london,VERTICE.

viridi-anne imo is absolutley fantastic! the cuts are very inovative and the details and quality are impeccable.....

i own quite a few viridi pieces,but as has been said before...the sizing is small,and tight across the chest...as i guy that has shoulders and a chest i tend 2 buy size 3 in the pants/jeans and 4 in the tops and shirts...the leathers i buy in a 3 because the leather does stretch out a bit..

but over all,i prefer it a lot more 2 attachment 1st line....and the boots...are probably one of the most comfy boots u will ever wear!
but their aw collections always seem 2 b stronger than the ss collections imo

I love the leather jacket...

that leather is actually 2 pieces,like a lot of the outerwear that viridi does u always seem 2 get a 2 in 1 ...which is great and u have more options of how 2 wear it.....

What I actually meant was that there's no size 5 in Japan. I know size 5 is only made for the western market by external producers but I was referring to the japanese yahoo auctions :P

cross posting this from the sufu Melbourne thread:
VA dropped at cose ipanema this morning, just got back from checking it out. decent little buy, unfortunately no leather jackets though. some suiting, pants, a coat, lame basics, shirts, couple of cardigans, vests, 2 finger gloves, 2 pairs of boots, 1 pair of derbies. unfortunately they only bought sizes 3-5, so nothing fit me. prices were... to be expected, approx. prices from memory:
- double layered cotton tee: $710
- cotton shawl neck cardi: $550
- asymmetrical linen cardi: $850
- gloves: $560
- perforated trench coat: $2800
- blazers: $2500
- boots: $2000

never have been a big fan of VA, and seeing and handling this collection in person hasn't really changed my opinion. some of the fabrics were nice (others kinda average...), however the designs never really do it for me. the baked horse leather used on one of the pairs of boots was delicious though, and the super soft unlined leather gloves has got me mad beasting even more so for those KKA gloves haha.

some serious rape prices IMO... unlined leather gloves for 560 bucks... nooooo thanksyou

[dji]

particularly for gloves with no practical use whatsoever...

[jcotteri]

they serve a purpose to annoy you because your hands are cold. I do really like the design idea though.. The look awesome when tried on

Please tell me this is AUD

[ardeetee]

[black horizons]

gotta be AUD$, it is in line with US$ and pricing with a conversion.
