Sapeurs sometimes do that and they love Yohji Yamamoto and to a lesser extent CdG. People who stop me in the street to say "nice Margiela jacket" or whatever are usually Congolese. Some of them are not Sapeurs per se and seem to know full collections, even the most obscure pieces and have a cool look.

I thought the sapology was a worldwide phenomenon

Can't believe any stores actually even bought those shoes but hey, I guess that guy is the example that there is someone out there for everything. They do fit a bit differently on him than I was imagining but the first thought that came into my head was that if anyone was driving, they'd have to carry an extra pair of shoes because no way that's fitting in a standard car.

Even more odd is the pricing, I would expect a higher price due to the additional materials used yet they cost hundreds less than the more conventional footwear.

all the Japan stores are carrying them, pretty much.

Isetan also has them and they have rather conservative buys for Japan.

I quite enjoy those shoes, simply because they bring a huge smile to my face.

So when is this going to stop? He's an art curator now too?

Dilettante of the year Kanye West is still hard at work buffing his résumé. He’s been fond of the title "curator" for a while, and in the new issue of CR Fashion Book, he puts his chops to the test. Inspired by the theme “Jolie Laide,” Kanye has curated a selection of art by artists including Richard Prince, Anish Kapoor, Paul McCarthy, and Cecily Brown, which he’s titled “Blud Rush.” As a companion text, he offers the following angsty reflection:

To create an expression is close to innoncence. Childhood is stolen from you with every judgment made, innocence stolen with it. You go into a room alone and try to collect the pieces of your life and meet your monster.

Everyone has a monster that hunts them—monsters inside and outside. I have fought monsters. And have turned into a complete monster in the midst of the fight.

Instead of posting stupid shit here for giggles and finger pointing wouldn't be nice to post a collection? There is fashion week in Paris going on in case y'all didn't know.

I checked it but it didn't look like the thing on RO
It looks like something Sruli would do, I dont understand.

I know it seems like an interstellar leap to go from making clothes-shaped objects to other object-shaped objects, but if you have the mind for it and the passion for esoteric materials it's kind of a logical progression.

Similarity to Sruli is always a wonderful thing in my book, unless you're averse to ostrich leather dick sacks.
