random fashion thoughts

I think it looks better because the absolutely unfamiliar design gets tempered by familiar lacing.

With the rectangular lacing the shoe just looks too outrageous.

But is that not what we typically like?

^ i agree with apathy in this case

also the shoe is overly bulbous imo without some more lacing. if you're not convinced then... itso kay i guess? Lol

Read the whole Paul Harnden thread, nice to see gramophones and 78s in conjunction with the "pre-pan-industrial" aesthetic. I'm generally not interested personally in pre-distressed design, especially of the peasant variety. Living in a small town it does remind me of some of the hobos and wouldn't want to be mistaken for one.

There's a local hobo who wears IS-ish off-white drapey clothes who I often see walking around town with a 6' walking stick he probably foraged out of the forest. I've never looked closely at his aesthetic details, for obvious reasons, but maybe I'll take a pic one day and see if SZ considers him fashion worthy.

this guy?!

^There is an elderly man in the San Francisco financial district who's attire is EXACTLY like that...minus the epic beard/hair...

Not a cloak, more like an off-white version of this:



Even before I got into fashion I thought he was the best dressed authentic hobo I've ever seen. Tall too with seemingly well-kept long dark hair and beard probably no older than 35.

I hope Hussein Chalayan's new menswear isn't as half arsed as its early publicity.

Does any one else find after some walking around and sitting down/standing up etc that long tee shirts tend to bunch up and sit too high up on the body? The only tees I have that don't do this are a RIck tee (only because it is almost knee length) and an old Julius tee (it is very thick cotton/linen so it's heavy enough to not drift upwards).


I have pretty wide hips so perhaps that is the problem.

Surprised into this foray, given that he has kind off dropped off the fashion map.

I always look forward to reading the comments on Hypebeast articles.

Saw this comment on an article about Karl Lagerfeld this morning:
"just googled that fuccboi and holy shit, i knew he was like old, but nigga was born in 1933 (80 YEARS OLD!!!)

my grandma died 1 year shy of this age a couple of years while lying in hospital bed for months - meanwhile this legendary illuminati troll is out clubbing in Cannes and shit at the age of fucking 80. credits where credits (age) is due tho"

Gold.

I always wonder why SLP jeans are made in sizes 34 or even 36. To me, Slimane aesthetic message should stop the waist sizing on 32 at best, considering they run 1 size large, even 30. I wonder who buys them... but from different point of view it's just a pair of jeans.
