I like the concept behind the self-cut shirt moreso than the final product. It's a more extreme example of the self-cut neckline/neckhole that you find with some of the other Linea piece and which has been carried through to some LUC pieces actually.

The interactive aspect is a nifty one, but I'd definitely choose a self-cut neckhole LUC knit over the self-cut linea shirt myself...

I had some snowboarding shoes that looked like this.

Leather shirts.

If there has to be leather on the torso,
it better involve whips and some strapping down
and such ...

leather shirts, pants, trenches, cargos. I love leather but only on my jackets and boots.
I also don't get all the PH stuff , I saw it in person finally and it seems like painter's wear.. not that that is a bad thing just not me.
Also CCP leather jackets, they seem quite stiff just from the pics and don't really fit many people here well.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned DSQUARED. I mean, does it get any worse than that? I guess it's just so obvious it's not even worth mentioning.

Also:

Expensive Ed Hardy-like brands: Horiyoshi the Third, Jaded by Knight

Burberry Prorsum leather jackets. Either studded or shearling-lined, they just look like nothing but a mix of Allsaints and Tom Ford.

Lanvin/Pierre Hardy/Louboutin sneakers...

CDG Play. What's the deal?

Absurdly priced Mastermind Japan items, Visvim fbt & christo and jeans with big patches.

[StrAngeRy]

Louboutin sneakers...

totally agree with you on this, those leopard print stud sneakers are the one of the ugliest thing I ever seen.

I concur, good sir! (Having just bought my first leather shirt - a Julius)

[DRRRK]

CCP trashcan boots and CCP finger-finger gloves.

+1 on that. The gloves...urgh. The boots with the pointed toe look too much like western boots that i hate. Yiiiieehaa!

CCP trashcan boots and CCP finger-finger gloves.

where the heck is that picture of those trashcan boots. i can't find it...

[diorowen]

^haha, removed for good.
leather shirt rocks, saw too many cool leather shirt already, and it does works like lightweight jacket.

and I cant understand men's skirt, men's heel, and men's tight(legging, its ok for underlayer inside your jeans if the weather was too cold. but for outer layer....)

[gohn]

I wears CROCS at home or beach. My grand parents wear UGG at home in winter. But I cant see people wearing crocs & ugg outside and enjoy it......

The clothes I dont "get" is the clothes with huge logo (I am logo adverse-r), such as:

(sorry Nick, no offence, but your may consider to get another t shirt)

I see these as not outright wearable pieces but works (especially the latter) as conceptual/art pieces that complete the overall theme and vision of the collection. Carol produces a lot of odd/unwearable works for each collection that are more art pieces that clothing per se. The frozen gloves from a few years ago to the boots embedded in latex blocks to the spiralled extended stiff leather jeans. Even the fully jointed leather pants (the counterpart to the infamous jacket) could be considered as such.

Of course the pricing of these pieces will be and always were astronomical. Its almost silly to even consider the prices on those pieces because they aren't even really created as clothes. Very few stores pick them up (probably just Lift and EM and maybe Atelier) and mostly to complete an installation type presentation.
