Not too fond of it. Other than the drapey pieces and some of the leathers and pants, the rest looks like rips from other brands with slight tweaks to them.

I have to agree. After buying several seasons of Julius, I really wonder how much more draped stuff can I add to my wardrobe when they basically look the same as previous seasons, or similar to other brands (especially with Attachment basically aping Julius)? The coat with the drapey cowl looks interesting, although I really can't justify buying a coat for Spring Summer... with the way weather is in NYC (not to mention Global Warming in general) it's really an early Fall item. If Fall ever gets here, that is.

Julius, where f/w means fall, and s/s means fall.

As said, some cool stuff, but I don't know what I'd get out of that.

Re: Julius s/s 2008

I dunno, I have to say that I pretty much like everything. some pieces are obviously quite similar like the drapy neck shirt which is sort of a staple in their collections, but for example the jackets and coats, the leather bag, boots and all look very good. the print shirts I'm not too fond of.

I definately wanna get this:

this jacket looks very good, as does the similar colored, slightly differently cutone posted above:

the texture on these looks pretty interesting:

Re: Julius s/s 2008

nothing mind blowing from them, feels like they made everything before but somehow i think its their best collection, can't say why. maybe its just improved versions of everything they made before.

Agreed. "Inspiration" drawn from the last few seasons of several brands for what is a disappointing collection. Some exceptions, but for the most part an unvaried recycling of looks we have seen in the past. Taking a
Poell top and cutting off the sleeves doesn't strike me as innovative nor does it impress me in the
slightest. I'd like to see a fit pic of the jumpsuit (though it too has been done dozens of times over recently). I'd never
wear a jumpsuit, but I am curious to know how it would look worn.

Re: Julius s/s 2008



wow, and i thought julius was ripping off rick owens before. look at those shirts with the prints (words)....looks just like the new drkshdw tees.

i think pollyanna.com and browns london still has em..or should i say the old tees. i don't have much respect for this brand after seeing that.------AND that extra long hoodie which is also a replica of drkshdw. terrible.

Re: Julius s/s 2008

Yea, the print tees and the long zip hooded sweatshirt look just like DRKSHDW.

Re: Julius s/s 2008

definitely a lot more derivative than in the past. i think that belted coat looks really nice though.

Komakino will have that bag - the only store in North America with Julius for next season.

Re: Julius s/s 2008



I saw this collection first hand when I placed the order in Tokyo and have to say that it was quite possibly the best collection I saw for SS 2008, including all of the big guys.

Keep in mind that viewing some two dimesional photoscannot really do anything justice (ditto for runway shots) and there is nothing to replace touching fabrics, trying things on and seeing them ona model.

It was in a word . . . outstanding.

PS - I love the comment about how every season is Fall at Julius - so true!
