Archives discussion and feedback

[ironman]

it is!

i have yet to take photos of a pair of fullcut wool/mohair trousers from SS00 that are just beautiful. i have silk/mohair blend items that feel worse than these! they are so smooth you would not guess it is 12 years old

i love the floral shirt, and i really regret selling the capsleeve turtleneck. i own other pure cashmere items, none as dense with such a soft hand

goes without saying i can't wait for Hedi to be back at YSL :)

commacomma - terrific cdg stuff...thanks for sharing. Those skirted pants are terrific!

[michael_kard]

Comma Comma's submissions finally made me get Junya. Incredible stuff, thank you very very much!

[Rosenrot]

Why are they banned??!?

[Rosenrot]

But the ones that were put up have mostly been sold eons ago. Some may be new but they were never advertised for sale here, and barely a few go to Ebay.

I can't speak for the moderators, but maybe because a lot of the clothes in the archives ended up in multiple sale threads, which turns the archives into an advertisement space. Although one can easily get a different impression, this forum started out as a platform against consumerism in fashion. That's just my interpretation. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct. As soon as he hit 100 posts, he started posting sales threads, and that is after I sent him a PM saying that I will not allow him to sell here, unless SZ is reimbursed in some manner. He asked to be let back in and that he won't sell, but his 50 private messages (I cannot read them, don't worry, but I could see a count) say otherwise. If commacomma has targeted anyone with sale offers, please PM me.

I sent him a pm...but it was only a generic hello, commending his collection. Now that I see he's an active ebay seller, I realize it wasn't a collection so much as stock. Oh well. I recognized a bunch of his CDG stuff from recent Yahoo auctions, so I briefly thought he might be a collector.

[Rosenrot]

What a pity. I thought they meant well in sharing their photos.

[Johnny]

Strangely though, I emailed cc to ask if he/she would sell one particular item, whilst acknowledging that that wasn't the point of the archives thread, and he did not reply.

[Faust]

/\ LOL. Well, I saw 53 PMs sent and 51 received in few days he's been here, which is cause of reasonable doubt. I too regret that we could not proceed in an amiable way and acknowledge the contribution to the archives, but listing sizes in the archives, was obviously shady to begin with.

...but... i wanna buy some things

=(

^^No one's stopping ya. CoCo posts everything on Ebay. Like others said, most of that stuff has already been posted and then sold....

[CHRIS]

do you have his handle? i've never seen comme pieces nearly as interesting as his while searching on eBay

[Faust]

Same handle.

[darkbydesign]

^^Yeah, usually only from CoCo and there's nowhere*boy who also puts out some decent men and women's line CDGH+ and CDG. In my opinion, the best CDGH+ stuff is from the 90s and early 2000s, and I agree that it's unfortunate how hard it is to find....

Good luck.
