Julius Men's FW10 Paris

[delphine]

Yeah, I've got a few of their tanks.. they're certainly small enough for a woman if you buy in Japan.. When I first saw the gigantic boots here I was thinking I'd like to see if I could make them work, but the more I look at them the more they remind me of those super high fly fishing galoshes or some such boot for wading through muck (maybe what they intended - nuclear sewage wading?)... or maybe it's just akward on the scrawny boys... hmm, worth a try i guess.

[Nikov]

i like this a lot. is this just a scarf hanging from the waist? or is it an actual bottomwear piece? hopefully someone who went to the showroom might be able to chime in...

Nothing is stopping you! Several women work at Julius and they all wear the stuff.

My girl wears bits of Yurius. So that's another for the count.

You are absolutely right - I need to keep an open mind about this.

Thanks also, delphine. I love the boots too, but I'm not sure I can make them work. I'll give it a try, though.

^ EM even made it a point to divide their collection into mens and womens.


electric blue jut neck layered underneath a sleeveless coat?

This one earlier in the show also looks to have a blue tinge to it.. Maybe

Julius told me they are very heavy and expensive (dont know how much) so it is mainly a fashion show piece altought buyers can buy them if they really want to

and in fact, they sold more to the older women than to the guys..

Older and rather sizable as well is what I hear.

Showroom review to come.

So those look like they are quite wide at the top, how large would you guess the opening is?

[Heirloom]

i wanna scrunch them down and pin them shut so they're flappy at the back.

can hardly wait Christian.

thanks for sharing the video thedevilisinthedetails. wasn't sold on the silhouette of the slim back zip boots in still pics but they look fantastic in motion, definitely on my to cop list. the slimmed down jeans and trousers look great too, also loving the simple and toned down design of the multi-seam nubuck leather jacket:

[CommieRabbit]

Haha those boots are crazy

I knew I've seen them before

[jcotteri]

youpii Christian..

Julius showroom review

Went yesterday to the Julius showroom, located in a small place in le Marais. It's been a interesting visit, since I could for the first time see and handle the clothes in person - no store carrries the brand in Paris, which is a pity. I only knew the brand by their shows and the few pieces I own myself or had seen on friends.

The mood and atmosphere in the showrooms and the way people welcome you are always an interesting point. If the RO showroom looked like an overbusy Italian speaking beehive, where everybody stared at me like an alien, since they were all wearing RO head to toe - including the buyers ! - and I was poorely dress in Doma, the Julius showroom is a quiet space between the artist atelier and the couture workshop.

Clothes are nicely displayed on the racks, some are shown on dummys, but no intern is paid - or not, in fact - to check that the distance between two hangers equals exactly 7,8 cms and will remain constant, and no light system tries to blind you and make you believe that you're in an art gallery.

In addition, a kind of very sympathetic yet considered mess (buyers' clothes lying on the ground, boots displayed here and there in the room, etc) makes you feel immediately confortable, not to mention the very kind welcome of Mark, Seiya and all the staff.

Sorry that some pictures are blurry, but I prefer not to use the flashlight, since it kills colours and fabrics. Artificial light wasn't strong enough though. I'll maybe pass by again to take better pictures later on.

I've to say that I've been very much impressed by the diversity of the colours and the fabrics, and of their awesome quality. I had in mind the cliché of the dark/barbarian/post apocalyptic/destroyed clothes and was very surprised by their evanescence and almost preciosity.

In addition, Julius doesn't stick to only one fabric, but multiply the experiments, which are often great success. And the diversity of fabrics echoes the variety of colours, which are paradoxically earth inspired, or toned down, and "bright" at the same time.

Diversity and variety of shape, especially of the drapped cardigans, was very impressive as well.
