Your recent purchases

[philip nod]

I think that may, to some extent, be the point...

i think the point is that youre wearing your own slowly rotting diseased flesh

^Someone's feeling chipper today.

[philip nod]

just adding some priceless adjectives to a thread without any

and are you talking about me or ccp?

[Sombre]

I was just having a little go at you. The description was just a bit morose, and I couldn't pass up commenting on it. I also thought you were mocking Magician.

[philip nod]

i wasn't mocking him as i find the boots horrid. flesh colored boots and flesh covered boots are indeed a different animal. sometimes we forget that ccp comes from a raw place, and there is much to his mere ugly. so i was extending his comment.

[Sombre]

I see. Well, his work certainly doesn't lack depth. Based on your earlier comment we can call them leper boots.

[philip nod]

haha good name

I echo pnods sentiments here. There is something inherently disturbing and disgusting in these.

There is indeed an ugliness to them, and for sure not one of CCP´s best pieces when it comes to looks.

BUT conceptually the most beautiful shoes i probably ever will owe. Just the fact that he chose to cover a beautifully handcrafted pair of shoes in "ugly" tape. Underneath there is a untreated beige "matte" leather.

Apparently the tape is supposed to fall off, been wearing the about 15 times and guessing the process is going to be slow. And yes they do not really make any justice on these photos.

I will post my first WAYWT soon.

Ohrstrom
the tape will stay on the boots unless you forcefully peel them off
i actually mistaken them for the 'paper' boots
that is why i freaked out initially
doh
personally i hated the collection where he'd put non-black tape on garments and footwear
just plain ugly

Boudicca dress, in the blue color.

[Faust]

nice dress, laika! although i do love those flowers.

[laika]

thanks, guys. it fits me like a glove, i could not be more pleased.

Faust, the flowers were actually my first choice. But, on a person of my stature, an all over print of that size is a bit much. I am hoping to get a blouse in that fabric though.

Does that mean that Barneys is already at 60% off?! :-)
