The House of Holland label is printed on American Apparel blanks and cost $90 at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills.

If this is true, that's just wrong. Although it wouldn't be the first time that's happened... Shit at 90$ you could buy AA t's at RETAIL and still do pretty well.

Not only is it printed on AA, but they still have the AA tags on it with the House of Holland tag stitched over it. I say you at least hide the AA tag.
[quote user="Faust"]DBC, we have completely opposite view on Ann's work. It's kinda fascinating, actually.

I know. The world is a many-shaded place! But I'm still not sure why you don't like that collection. Is it simply the colour palette?

I like her edgier stuff. This collection is a bit too slouchy and unstructured for my taste. Her stuff used to be a perfect poet-warrior mix, now it's a bit more poet and much less warrior.

after lusting after ann's ss06 blazers for quite a while now,
i am quite happy to say i found a great piece at a somewhat affordable price for me ..
i love the stiching detail on it...and sydney winter doesnt get too cold so this could be a good piece for winter too as layering is what i have in mind..
my first ann piece!
great temporary satisfaction!

Awesome! It looks like there should be a pic in your post, but it's not showing up. Let me know if you need help.

[quote user="Casius"]I would say go for it Faust. Even if you get them and find you don't like them, you could atleast sell them and make a little extra cash money.[/quote]
I emailed the woman, see if she agrees to $100.
Avanster, thank you - it's an amazing bag, I can't thank John enough.

At this price, if they're my size and you don't want them I'll buy them from you no problem!! I must say putting them on ebay would be a better idea though, you should be able to get a sizable amount of profit, providing AnnD sneakers are in relatively high demand.

I like Ann for her silhouettes and her nonchalant fabrics, but the goth/rock element of her work really turns me off. Sometimes she seems to want to use signifiers of "deepness" as a shortcut to gravity. I find a lot of her accessories and t-shirts positively cringe-worthy in that respect (e.g. skulls, Julia Margaret Cameron). I like playful, creative clothes--you can see why this particular summer collection was a high point for me.
I'll throw myself on the if-they-don't-work-out-and-they're-my-size-and-they're-awesome waiting list, and I'd totally pony up some extra cash as a "tip" *wink wink* as well, haha
