You can ask Hide-san (see this post) as he has a partnership with idheart.

I think this is the right place. For the ones of you who went to the showrooms and obviously ordered stuff, do they let people take personal orders? And if yes, how big do they need to be? I realize that the only people who get to do personal orders are the ones that obviously gets into the showrooms in the beginning.

No showroom takes personal orders, unless you're very very very close to the brand.
Showrooms are made for buyers, not for customers, and some of them (the bigger ones) are impossible to visit.

Not sure about stores in other parts of the world, but most in Japan will hold "exhibitions/installations" of the new collections in their stores during which customers will be able to try the pieces and place advance orders.
AL will be showing Devoa's SS2011 collection sometime late July/early Aug. Hoping to time a trip to co-incide with that..

^ I believe actually showing the collection on location is pretty exclusive to Japan.

if you're looking for something specific that you saw in a preview, you could ask a retailer if they got that piece or if they can include it. but orders are usually made pretty soon after showing, so you need to be quick. and some retailers of course might not want to do this as its always a bit of a hassle to manage multiple personal orders.

Sorry if this is a bit of a stupid question, but is there any way to get into the runway shows? I've always wanted to experience one of these shows in person, but I was told that this is almost impossible. Just wondering as I am planning a trip to Paris some time next year =)

Has anyone tried washing BBS tshirt? I have a feeling they will easily lose shape in the washing machine.

There have been questions and opinions on RO oiled leathers in other threads, so I'll just post SS (10 or 11, not sure) and AW09 (Crust) side by side. Area is near the cuff, wrinkled and smooth side, AW has been worn a lot, SS much less so.

In short: they're both amazing.

Hand wash in a sink with a small amount of detergent. Minimal friction.

Don't wash these in a washing machine.
