Minivan was parked outside of the showroom - couldn't fit inside.
To each their own and to their region and daily annoyances their own taste of what's exotic and what is beyond redundant.
I'm still pretty firm on that.. but only for me. I like some of the shapes that aren't tent-ish because it reminds me of that rave culture of the early 90's..again probably cool somewhere but here in LA it got stupid in about 6 months and continue to decay still to this day. But no cargo for me..EVA!!
Can't wait for the showroom pics!!

While I understand your point, upsilonkng. With julius the items hold different connotations than how you perceive them. You perceive them in that manner because of the negative things you attribute to cargo pants based upon your anecdotal experiences. This is completely fine, but I think people are getting bothered by your comments because they are perceiving them as gross generalizations.
While I share your sentiments somewhat I also give them a chance in the fashion world since they have a different purpose there. I probably wouldn't buy any...anytime soon, though.

Just a quick opinion on the cargos. I stupidly bought the wide legged one a couple of years ago and can't get the feeling of those raver, Jincos out of my mind. However, the slim leg ones are fairly nice and mine are beautifully contructed. I just have yet to actually where them."Men are the dreams of shadows." - Pindar

I'm sure that others have their own perspectives, but I see an activist stance in Horikawa's clothes--a political and cultural consciousness, and a desire to design clothing that both "fits" and "shapes" it. To me, this is what differentiates him from other *********** designers.
Horikawa's cargo focus may not be aesthetically pleasing to some here, but that probably misses the point he intends to make. i'd guess that the cargo elements reference survival/"tactical" gear, with the double-edged hint at both a social and cultural context that's increasingly volatile, difficult to "survive" in (welcome to the age of austerity), and to the legitimization of hidden violence (rendition, blackwater, etc).
equating it to malls and rednecks seems to me both ironically miss the point entirely--and yet, to unwittingly capture it viscerally.
from a purely aesthetic perspective, the skinny julius cargos are a beautiful and functional design, that look surprisingly sharp with a range of stuff.

That is an interesting point, but Julius has done cargos before the recession.
I think the whole thing is much simpler. I interviewed Dries van Noten last week, and he said that menswear has very few influences, and military is one of them. And it is so true. Menswear always references military clothes - its influence is far and wide. So, yes, it can be co-opted by rednecks, but it can also be done by Julius. Next time you see a redneck in slim leather cargos (the best version imo Julius puts out), holler at me.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde
