Individual Sentiments

[Piffen]

Thanks for the info DHC! Must leave the land of vikings more often so I can see this stuff irl. Must.

Yeah.. mike lowrey has the interwebz locked down. Really impressive, can't say that too many times. Great job mike lowrey (and friends)!

[DHC]

..and thanks to Mike Lowery for catching the bug in my lasagna!

[lowrey]

hahahaha, it was chaos, people screaming, food flying all over

[jamesd]

Great pictures Mike as always!
The first two coats look very nice, as well as the derbys. The way the upper part of the derby overlies the sole in the back is interesting -- hope to be able to see it in person.

[doldrums]

I like the derbies as well - look like a pair of yohjis I have (leather extending to heel).

IS is the most exciting thing going right now - I've got a few pieces from fw10 (the high collar from David ) that are both amazing. Hopefully can save up for more...

See, this is Mr Lowrey at his best, photography does justice to the clothes, although you should still check them out in person for that added aura.

I think it's great that Sartorialoft is the only US stocklist and I am glad Dave is on SZ. SZ power!!!

[philip nod]

I just remember looking from outside in the showroom when most people had enough from the heat and there was P trying two different coats on and off like a Jedi-Master choosing his new lightsaber...

i love it when you open a thread and theres a whole conversation about you that you missed

i prefer to try on clothes sober
and then try them on drunk
it helps with the editing process.



and i don't think i can ever go back to paris
because im the sample size
and nobody can tear me away from a good designer
so i just keep trying stuff on
til the authorities remove me.

srlsy though, for me, this is the only way to see a designers work.
fuck the runway. i am truly getting less and less impressed. time for some innovation in category. fuck the photos. this shit aint 2d. but the showroom...unedited, laid bare, uncurated equals pure crack.

like the addict said, I narrowed it to two long coats. but then again i always hit on long coats. IS had three great linen fabrics for spring, the dark color esp. alluring. the cuts are elegant, and androgynous. the button closure system is neat. the collars really great. one had what i thought looked like a "fish gil" interplay in the construction near base...hard to explain, but really cool. the designer apparently went to art school, so i feel i can the romanticism of an artistic vision first, and then the rigor of an exceptional work ethic follow. these clothes are infectious, moody, they trigger desire, and are a nice respite from the current stable.

with dhc nurturing the line, i think in a few seasons time, it will assert itself as a favorite here.

yes, merz, there has been much improvement since i last saw the line a year ago.

[philip nod]

Man, if MikeLowrey would not have seen it flying in your veggy lasagne, i would have spit out what i had in my mouth...and how he tryed to get it out and made it even worse...HILARIOUS!!!

mike's the jedi, how the hell did he see that superstardestroyer?

[paprik]

I tried the leather, fit me on spot, very nice leather. But not my style. Liked the coats more...

the leatherjacket is a great piece, soft leather and good looking jacket!

Pnidzy. You and me both. That;s precisely the tune i had been singing all throughout fashion week. Everyone looking at me like a farted or something. Yes, I have to hit up some shows, but its more support than anything. Halfway through most I am wishing I was elsewhere (and that's pretty sad considering the shows aren't that long). But I'll spend all day in a showroom with a kool-aid grin pasted on my noggin.

[Faust]

Pnidz with fashion poetry. But yea, as I've always said, in the final analysis, it's all about the garment.

[lowrey]

true, but then again, if it wasn't for this "fuck the 2D" business, we probably wouldn't be here talking about Individual Sentiments or much about anything really

[Faust]

Naturally :-) SZ is pre-final analysis (although often the final analysis for many internet shoppers).

haha, I had to drag you to at least a couple of shows
