    Mmm, you can see who else attends the shows? Last time I checked I did not see ASAP Rocky there, like I did at Rick Owens, for example. Nor do any of the major fashion media outlets review it. It's a small production and feels like a group of friends and fans getting together.

    Not defending 11, by the way I can live without it. Though the next season did look promising and I have seen some gems here and there.

      how come it's so different? philosophy wise it goes hand in hand really..
      Mainline is for a part influenced by street / hiphop culture.
      Diffusion line focusses on street culture, urban lifestyle and extreme sports. Remember, Boris listens to hiphop music(Mobb Deep, J Dilla, Wu-Tang etc.) and is a skateboarder. He doesn't like a fancy famous lifestyle, you will know this by seeing his atelier in the beginning of this Persian documentary.



      He has a target group which is similar to his mainline hence he even combined showing both lines during FW13-14. Like Faust mentioned earlier he can't control who buys it. 11 became ''hip'' so shitty musicians and teens buy it. If things get too much out of context its WTF for me

        I've never thought of his first line as influenced by street culture or hiphop culture. Even directly told about it I am unable to see any hiphop vibes.
        Let's call it my ignorance then.

          Exactly.

          I highly recommend the documentary that 550BC linked, even for those who don't consider BBS their cup of tea; it will put to rest any qualms regarding the designer's values.

            Long tees, slightly dropped crotch on all the pants, high-tops. You are blind. Willfully blind, at this point.

              Look at damir and silent now...Where there was once some similarities to be had, the lines seem to target incredibly different people. Silent is also a much tamer version of it's previous self...
              BBS and 11 still draw upon the same streetwear themes.

                  I'm not sure if it's been posted. I'm afraid to see if there's anything more expensive on Rick's website. Featured: Rick Owens Hun SS15 Sleeveless hoodie jacket in natural sable fur for the modest price of 163 184$.



                  Since Rick sales has started you can get 30%, saving the modest sum of 48 000$.

                          I've been wearing my Geobaskets with black socks ever since I got them and I wasn't surprised when I discovered that some dye had rubbed off onto my colored socks after a long day of walking through the city. But has anyone experienced this: my Geos colored two of my toes and toenails black. My feet look like I've climbed to the top of the Himalayas. Wtf

                            No coloration with my geo's so far.
                            I ended up with entirely black feet after a long day of citytripping in Barcelona in the rain with CCP derbies. Blisters and black dye everywere.

                              I've had a fair bit of dye transfer with my Geos.
