PH? Once. CCP? Once. Boris? I'd say zero times.
For all the talk about this style / these clothes becoming ubiquitous, I haven't really seen it happening.
Then again, I don't work in fashion, and I might be hanging out in the wrong places, in the wrong city, all the time..

Originally posted by stagename View PostIt really depends not only on the city, but where you go in the city. When I was visiting Shanghai, I could easily spot more than 5 people a day in full Rick outfits. Similarly, in Toronto, when I'm at the right spot, I can be sure that I'll see at least two persons either in Rick or Boris. Thinking about it, whenever I go out in Toronto I see somebody in Boris.
To be honest I haven't seen anyone in TO in anything I would recognize belonging to the SZ family of designers (save for one man I saw in Kuboraum's), albeit I only go for shows/shopping/food every couple of weeks.Last edited by GucciAmen; 08-25-2015, 08:36 PM.

toronto has a pretty strong avant-garde community, actually, though that comes with it being a world city, and having boutiques like serpentine to cater to them. i know of at least a dozen or two people into the style, and know tons more exist.
there really is a community almost everywhere; even here in ottawa i know of a few people who appreciate and dress in a manner befitting of this forum, which i will say was a large shock upon my arrival.

While I do think that Toronto has a strong avant-garde community, there are also only a handful of neighbourhoods where those people would normally hang out. That likely makes it look bigger than it actually is. I know I've seen the same people a number of times, some of them probably SZ members.

i have definitely never witnessed a single person wearing rick owens in vancouver.
i once saw an asian dude in head to toe leather / drip-rubber ccp [on w. georgia], but that's it.
have only visited toronto, but definitely didn't see anyone wearing rick either [or anything visually appealing for that matter].
in my ~1 year in montreal, i saw one guy [on the regular] wearing rick owens & rick owens[ish] brands in & around st. viateur - but again, that's it.
even in my ~3 years in london, i hardly saw anyone wearing recognizable designer brands outside of central - and those i did see, i usually knew [ie - central london boutique staffers].
you just don't see this shit out in the wild that often, and if you do, you're either in paris for fashion week [and even then you see less than you'd expect], or you're magically aligned with the minority dark fashion contingent's city schedules.—

Then again, I haven't been in 3 years so things might've changed.

aberdeen = richmond.
i rest my case.
i only ever lived in kits [in ~2008-2010], and the west end [~2012], but haven't really been back to vancouver outside of visiting family in point grey since then.
my experience is limited to kits / downtown / west-end / gastown / chinatown / strathcona / main st - so it wouldn't surprise me if i missed out on the ritzier / flashier car-based crowds.—
