That cardigan rocks, but the &quot;organic&quot; vibe I get from it make it quite peculiar among the other cloak pieces, I wonder why he never pursued that direction with much consistency, maybe it&#39;s something that came from one of his collaborators....</p>

[djrajio]

Slight inspired by Faust&#39;s post but more like its raining in Tokyo today...repeat of a look that I really like...

Kolor cable knit wool bronze long cardigan
Striped-border uniqlo crew neck
Skinny Lad Musician black jeans
Silver necklace (not shown)
Alfredo Bannister black boots (not shown)

Very nice cardigans djrajio and Faust. Coldrice, that&#39;s a really good look.
</p>

Thanks a lot guys. Laika (hi!) the dress really does fit exactly like a sack lol. Having a very sack-appropriate body myself, I&#39;m not bothered, but I can imagine that for those in possession of more womanly attributes (like, uh, tits) it might pose a problem.
</p>

Thanks, everyone. DJrajio, nice outfit! Fuuma, he also did the cardigan in black, which looked much less organic. But, yea, I love that direction - not sure why he does not go where Rick Owens has made such a success (organic + edge).

[laika]

lol, droogist, the sack part sounds good--it just doesn&#39;t look very sack-like on the model. i do have some, umm, attributes, but the sack shape generally suits them--it hints at curves without accentuating. </p>

Faust--that&#39;s a lovely piece and it really suits you. Very sensual.</p>

drajio-- i love the cardigan over the stripes! One of my favorite looks--my BF wore something like that on one of our first dates, except the cardigan had a high collar...very nice. </p>

Me today:
Black button down shirt with rolled up, floppy sleeves--Ann Demeulemeester
Black mesh tank (under)--also Ann Dem
Army green skirt with cargo-type pockets in the back and a green squiggly pattern--got it a 1 on G, when they were still open. Anyone remember this store?
Black patent sling-backs on wooden wedges--Chloe</p>

And last night:
Black skirt with asymmetrical insert--Veronique Branquinho
Sand colored scoop-neck sweater with wide ribbed waist band and wide sleeves--Marc Jacobs (I know, but it&#39;s nice, I swear)
White tank top (under)
Black opaque tights and same chloe wedges
</p>

oh and i&#39;ve been wondering... is the cdiem bag actually nice? i can never really find any detailed pictures of them.- but i figure there&#39;s nothing but a lining inside? is there a closing mechanism of any sort?

Yes, it&#39;s very nice - same leather as on the shirts and the patchwork is well done, beautiful stitching. It&#39;s three compartments, from free different fabrics - it&#39;s pretty complicated actually. Can you see the picture in the post?</p>

I&#39;m afraid Mrs. Faust does not share my love for fashion to such an extent. Besides she just started a pretty demanding full time job.</p>

[xcoldricex]

i always just see a picture of the outside of the bag- so i just see the &quot;patchwork&quot; leather. so it just looks like a leather tote on a string- i&#39;m a big cdiem fan of course and i love the simplicity of things- but on the surface the bag looks not very functional to me. i&#39;ve seen a bunch of auctions for it but none of them ever show the details of the bag, so i just assumed that it was just a glorified tote.

Hmm, I guess you could say that it&#39;s a glorified tote, why not? I think it&#39;s very functional in a reverse manner, it&#39;s the best bag to carry a few things in, because it&#39;s not bulky. The simplicity of it is deceptive - between patchwork, and three different fabrics not ending on top, but folding over into another compartment (there are three compartments), it must&#39;ve been a bit of work to make.</p>
