zippers and buttons matter enormously, as silly as that sounds. furthermore, i was always of the opinion that rick really excelled at that. the power of the details, like the heavy zipper and the long natural drawstring. and this particular collection is so zipper oriented that they damn well better be quality zippers that suit the aesthetic, and not a purely functional cost cutter.Last edited by cjbreed; 01-03-2014, 11:49 AM.dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective

Shucks, I must disagree with you there. ANY designer who is in the luxury segment of the market should be using quality materials. I don't mind polyester and plastic, but it has to be done well and not look cheap (as is the case with CDG).

Read this thread this morning and went to some shop in Paris to touch some Rick leather. Was so disapointed by the Stooges suede. Never touched something that feel so cheap and thin and costs 1800 euros at the same time.
In another hand i'm so impressed by the quality of the Low Dunk Sneakers (Island), the materials are really amazing (Pony, and 2x type of leather). Well, copped them in a heartbeat even if i am not a big fan of Rick footwear and was looking for a leather jacket after all.
Didnt have the chance to touch some 2014 stuff yet, but i have the feeling that we ll have to wait FW14-15 to buy some stuff that worth, at least, a quarter of the retail price.
Finger crossed.Last edited by yffet; 01-03-2014, 03:48 PM.Well, Karl is a fan of Carol. Not sure about the other way around though...(Faust)

those are actually parchment-colored (off-white).
since you seem to be very interested in discussing geobaskets, i suggest you post those types of things HERE instead, to avoid turning this thread into a sneaker cul de sac.
also (i'm gonna sound like interest1 now...) we don't really need four enormous photos of those kicks. delete/resize please.

Tried the long sleeve onesie today and wore it around a bit. I am going to sit this one out and wait for the body bag from FW14.
But I did want to own pretty much everything else on the rails. Super nice materials, loved the leathers, tuxedo pants. I maintain this is the best SS from Rick for some time.Hi. I like your necklace. - It's actually a rape whistle, but the whistle part fell off.
