whenever i see a harnden/rick fit, something about it seems incongruent. the philosophies of those two brands have zero common ground.“Man has somehow always feared this search, and I fear it even now. Suppose all man ever does is search for the reason, crosses oceans, sacrifices his life in the search; but to search it out, actually to find it, he’s afraid. For he senses that once he finds it, there will be nothing to search for.”

^ Perhaps this is going to boil down to a definition of avant garde but I don't see any problem here.
I have no problem with calling fashion an art form and art has always searched varied sources to confront the viewer (wearer). This goes from new materials, scientific advances, social concepts to even looking back to common "languages" and older/other cultures.
Drop crotch has to owe some debt to pants worn falling off low which came from beltless pants in prison.
Fraying from clothing worn beyond its time due to financial limits. Oversize also?
I wonder if waxed or treated pants came from clothing unwashed to the extreme- think homeless.
Bottom line- its all fair game and you don't have to like it but if something about it bothers you at least think you've been challenged.

But what are we talking about here? Peasant-style as avant-garde or simply mixing Harnden and Rick? Two vastly different topics - one is philosophy and the other one is WAYWT.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I don't know--Tbone had me pretty sold on some Rick drop crotches paired with a Harnden jacket. (Of course, this was back when Rick still wowed me with the intricacy of patterns, cut and fabric choices. I don't know what's going on over there with the excessive embellishments these days, but that's for another discussion) I think it's too easy to say that the designer themselves defines what items of theirs are best paired with other items. In the case of Harnden, some of it looks a little ridiculous and we justify it because Paul is adhering to a niche look and aesthetic and hence defining what we think the jacket ought to be paired with, for example. Truthfully, I think as Faust once pointed out, Harnden jackets often look better with skinnier pants and I really like wide, loose pants on the right people. I could easily see it being worn with Layer-0 canvas jeans, CDG or Forme dropcrotches, or any other number of items.
I don't remember whose signature it is, but I will attempt to paraphrase it: "The overarching philosophy is 'does it look sick as fuck?'"

Originally posted by Marlon View PostNot talking for me but some people just need the reference of the item to buy it online. I can understand it (if the reference is correct and if I've seen the item irl I don't see the problem). But I won't take that risk from a Japanese store (regarding return issues etc.).Eternity is in love with the productions of time
