apparently he is a genuine lunatic. he actually has official US patents for his ridicilous designs, so if he'd be a prank it'd be probably the most extensive joke ever made, I doubt anyone would have the patience to do it. he has been infiltrating online forums for the past couple of years believing he is the next big thing.

amazing. looks like the homeless/schizo scenario plays out yet again. thanks for clearing that up.

where to get those hooks you put on your clothing rack, just the hook.
like this:

If you want the real deal, just go on ebay.... under "meat hooks" or "butcher hooks"

There's a bunch of different kinds and sizes.

Personally I really like the ones that you see in the BBQ section of Chinatown restaurants where it's a hook, then a O ring then another hook. That shit is ill. May have to hit up the chinatown restaurant equipment shop in Boston/NY....

don't mess with the man, the myth, the legend that is EG.

some of his patents date from 1996.

anybody know if there's any connection btw the trench Sam Riley wore in control with HATE on the back and the current trenches in the Burberry season or the ones he is modeling in the current campaign.

Could somebody please tell me the retail cost of Rick Owens trainers at his flagship store in paris. Thanks.

I looked into this and couldn't find any link. Regardless, it was effective marketing to put "the guy who played ian curtis" in their ads as any inkling of burberry trench desire I had in the background did move to the forefront.

.....so now i have a trench in the closet that i will rarely use....

whatevs...

Are specific exotic leathers illegal to own/distribute in the US? Are elephant, turtle, seal, etc leather illegal?

Does the LUC Brushed cotton jacket look as bad in real life as it does in the Atelier shot of it?

I've come to really like/want a LUC jacket, where to kop in fatass sizes?

It is the rules and regulations that exotic skin manufacturers and sellers have to adhere to, you might find it useful

To the ladies of SZ, a close friend would like to buy herself a bag for Christmas and has requested I help her find it (unfortuately I am lost in this department). She wants something in leather, vintage or used, brown, medium to large in size, a simple but elegant design, no print or details like studs. Where/what should I tell her to look at?

[baby]

how much is she willing to drop?

[Who?]

I didn't ask but I will venture less than 500 judging by her other items.

If it HAS to be used then I guess you can find some decent Jas MB and Henry Beguelin/Cuir on ebay. The second can be kind of folksy but consistently uses nice leather.

Other that, for your price range Collection Privee and *cough* Barney's In Store brand on clearance make decent unembellished things.
