Kazuyuki Kumagai Attachment SS10

[todestrieb]

From the little I can see, quite a substantial number of pieces look like rehashes from the past - the boots, leather jacket, shirt, basics, etc.. Still good though.
The slouchy bag with the wide strap has some promise. May have to have a better look.

Then these must be necklaces, no?

I'm having trouble focusing on the clothing since I'm so enamoured of that warehouse space...

Reactions mixed...I like some of the pieces (from the ones I can see in enough detail to judge), but I don't see much progression/innovation from past seasons...

/\ Mortal, post up some of your awesome photography.

personally I like the following two pieces. I find the leathers especially interesting in comparison to last season's (notice the change to a more rick-esque leather finishing.)

[metin]

The fact that the leather finish is that Rick-esque is actually problematic for me, because now the Attachment leathers look too much like Rick Intarsias. I prefer Kumagai's draped work, especially the first piece that kbi posted, since he always revisits it with slight tweaks in fabrication, material, and shape.

Archive had a beautiful attachment leather last fall in a dove grey/taupe color that was incredible -- also cut like the motorcycle jacket above IIRC.

[Peasant]

The textured coats look very nice. Likely a blend that has some steel in it. I'd also like to see the pants and that bag in person. I've never been blown away by KKA, but the more I see IRL the more impressed I am. Over-all I think it looks good/cohesive.

Anyone know of any Japanese online stores carrying the J-pants/jeans?

Damien, thanks, I've got all these sites bookmarked already, but it seems they don't carry the KKA J-pants/jeans...didn't see the FW09 version when i was last looking for that, perhaps i was too late looking. Anyways, will continue to lookout at these sites.
Thanks !

I didn't see the banana leg style jeans at the flagstore in daikanyama when I was there a while back, perhaps not many stores ordered them last season? the new ones do look good from the low res pics, as do the slimmer Julius MA pair for SS10.

[Acid, Bitter and Sad]

I saw those KKA Jstyle jeans (FW09) at the Daikanyama store before. The size 1s sold out really quick. Managed to obtain a pair through a proxy...love them, great fabric!
Am keen on the SS10 version. I make frequent trips to Tokyo, and am also able to purchase from Japanese online stores, so using a proxy is a last resort. Only fear is the availabilities of the size 1s...

[black horizons]

I think they just sold through quickly. The Archive did just that. They were better this season, slimmer. And the fabrics were unique. I think that is the first velvet garment I've ever really wanted.

Cromagnon has them, but it looks like only in a size 3.

A pair in black velvet size 1 also sold a few weeks back on Y! for I believe around 22,000 yen.

Any chance you have a similar list of m.a+ stockists?
