What are you wearing today?

[xcoldricex]

nice fit agent l. been meaning to try the belt as an accessory...</p>

for me is a wong fei hong meets avant garde outfit for a dinner</p>



for a dress up dinner:
custom designed/tailored long coat.
ccp assymetric shirt (collar removed -&gt; chinese collar)
ccp pants with uneven button fly
linea shoes

you can kind of see the details of the shirt and pants here..</p>

Oh my god, you are killing me with coats! Very handsome indeed. I really like those shoes as well.

[droogist]

Looking really sharp, coldrice![quote user=&quot;laika&quot;]

droogist, I adore that dress--I really like the earlier, more casual stuff he did. I am living vicariously through your Chalayan collection, so I hope you tell us more. Those boots sound cool too--what is FQ R? Sounds like a chemical compound, lol. </p>

[/quote]I might say the same of IXOS... [:P] FQ R (R for Roma) is yet another CDiem offshoot (yawn). They have a website with laughably tiny pictures, here: www.fqr.it. It&#39;s a menswear label, but this season they had exactly one style of women&#39;s boot on offer, which I bought. My husband has the nearly identical men&#39;s pair, so now we can walk down the street wearing them together and look like a right pair of prats.</p>

The average objective observer would no doubt find the amount of Chalayan in my closet unhealthy - fanaticism rarely being a sign of robust mental health. I rationalize it by telling myself it&#39;ll make for a nice donation to some yet-to be-determined design museum, when I&#39;m old and grey. [:$]

lucky duck! Personally, I think supporting him is rationalization enough for a closet-full, but the museum idea is good too! Oddly, I don&#39;t know many people (either virtually or in real life) who wear his stuff. I guess we are the Chalayan girls, lol. </p>

IXOS is generally a little too Diesel-ish for my taste, but the tabi shoes are very pretty--my boyfriend got them for me years ago, when I desperately wanted the Margielas and they were not to be found. </p>

Given the strange overlap in our tastes, is it possible that you are also a tabi-wearing girl? [;)]</p>

[Agent L]

Very cool looks coldrice and baizilla. Both look very natural and befiiting. It&#39;s nice to see all this black and still see the diversity and range in styles. Faust, get your pics up man. An &quot;All Black&quot; thread should be started just to show how everyone wears all black in their own way. Ladies please join in.

[xcoldricex]

thanks everyone. nice look baizilla - really like the deep neck/hooded shirt and the vest pieces...

The jacket looks excellent Faust. Lucky you! Before it arrived you were talking about getting the sleeves shortened weren&#39;t you? I reckon they look perfext a little bit long. Looks like Mini-Faust&#39;s got a pretty cute winter coat too.</p>

[baizilla]

thanks for the comments. :D<div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /></div><div>Great jacket, faust!</div>

Thanks all. Yea, I don&#39;t think I will shorten the sleeves - the extran inch or so does not bother me enough to outweigh the sleepless nights I&#39;d have if I gave that jacket to someone to disassemble at the shoulders, shorten the sleeves, and put the jacket back together. Besides, when worn with gloves, I like the sleeves to be longer than usual.

[bakla]

Be careful with your Ann D badge, Baizilla. Mine has dropped a bead already and looks more like it says &quot;What remains is +uture&quot;. Heh.

[baizilla]

Hehe

[laika]

Baizilla, I love your Ann Dem look. Very poetic. I really want the t-shirt version of that badge...waiting for sales though.</p>

Faust, the jacket looks great! Fits you perfectly. Did you take those pics by the pool at Lincoln Center?</p>

Today:</p>

Dark denim pantaloons--Stella McCartney</p>

Stiff cotton tomato red shirt with shoestring lacing in the back--Zoe &amp; James</p>

Same tabi slippers</p>

All soon to be covered in dust, as we are packing today! </p>

Thanks! It was actually by the apple store on 58th/5th. My daughter is running behind me there, lol. Where are you moving to? I would guess a new posh loft in Tribeca with the bookcases lining the walls.</p>

[droogist]

Baizilla, very nice. The pants are really working for you.</p>

Faust, the jacket looks just fantastic - definitely worth the wait.</p>

Good luck with the move, btw...in my experience NYC moves have never been cheery affairs, but I hope yours goes off without a hitch.

[xcoldricex]
