For some reason I hear Patti Smith singing, "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine."

I really, really like this so far. Faust, where are you getting these images?

Re: Number (N)ine SS/08 - Paris



Overall this is an all right collection. The styling makes it hard to see many individual pieces, but I'm glad at least it's not an overtly obvious reference like Wild West or Axl Rose. There is some horrendous stripy stuff that I am not posting.

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you [:D] Seriously, I can't divulge the source or I might have the plug pulled.

lol. That's cool. I figured there were some looks in the collection that weren't being posted, but I am over all pretty impressed. I think because it doesn't seem to have the weird references as you stated above.

looks good. some of the looks kinda remind me of a more crust punk/goth ann demeulemeester. most of the cuts of the garments and the styling remind me of ann d as well. a bit derivative, but i agree that it's good he's getting away from the axl and western look.

looks like an interpretation from ann d's angle to the previous "noir" collection... nevertheless, i like it a lot!

This does look good, but as others are saying...I mean come on, you might as well replace the crosses with feathers and it is an Ann D. collection.

Well, noone ever claimed that Miyashita is a good designer ;-). All of his work is derivative. Of course, being derivative is not a fault unless you claim to be a great designer.

I like it a lot, derivative yes, not so original yes, but solid looks and great individual pieces always attracts me, just one thing, it seems to be much more like a fw collection than a ss, c'mon guys unless you live in the north pole you are not wearing layers and layers of cloth and cropped pants that only expose your ankle in summer, where are the shorts, light pants or tanks....just asking....
