Re: S/S 2007 Arrivals and Reviews
Good man!
I'm making my own "ccp" U shaped pants. There are better ways of spending upwards of $1k [:)]
Even if I find some AMAZING fabric, I'd only require like 4-5 yards MAX and even at $30 a yard it's a mere fraction of Poell's probable pricing.
I've been examining my twist pants to figure it out but that one is a bit trickier. I'll work on that one some more.
At the same time I've been thinking about taking the U shaped pants leg a bit further and actually curving the legs inwards more (think more like a snail shell). With the U shape you get most of the twisting at the lower thigh/knee area (the bottom of the U) whereas if you have curled legs the twisting would continue down the leg more. Combine this with a slim cut through the leg and you'd have twist pants without having to stitch in an offset manner like his current twists.
The idea can be carried through for sleeves as well (I think the curved sleeves from LUC this season utilize this to a lesser extent) and we've seen slightly similar ideas from Julius with the J-shaped cut of the body in the shirts.
Just a little something to think about for the DIY guy/gal !
hehe, I know when I make the pants, I'll be making a ruched fly on them as well[:P]
