This was great, thanks for posting the link! He is very good at coining these perfectly descriptive phrases that are very apt, but also a bit surprising......I like his defiant vulnerability.

Also, he always comes off as very pragamatic and sweet and down to earth (another surprise ), and I appreciate that very much.

While I do see a somewhat sleek and abstract (non conceptual?) reminiscent from Brancusi what I really enjoy was seeing how he expanded his design vocabulary to include some structure and tailoring to be combined with his usual slouchy street/goth wear. It's also hard to see from the pics but Pugh was also referenced in a couple of outfits with the inclusion of some highly geometric backs.

Thanks, Fuuma. I certainly agree about enjoying the inclusion of tailoring, and i think it was remarkably successful. I wasn't expecting that, based on the tailoring attempts in his women's collections.

It's not so much that this reminded me of Brancusi, but of Rick comparing himself to Brancusi--just a slab of metal on a hunk of wood, but it's about the right piece of metal, the right hunk of wood and the perfect gesture.

That quote always stays with me because I love the minimalist ethos of it, but this is the first time I would say he's really lived up to it.

How would you have pricing already?! Jesus Christ. If those prices are true then that is absolutely insane!

I queried for a special order, and that is what they had priced for those items! I agree with you..

At the Archive?! Wow! Their prices are usually pretty good too. I'm scared.

Yeah, I am scared too!

Scared I might blow way to much money for pieces - I don't really need, but love!

I was hoping that after the sale-mania this fall and the presumed sales of this spring that designers would smarten up and lower their base price for next fall. Maybe not. Now that they know we'll only buy at 60% off maybe they'll jack up prices even higher so they still make a crazy profit no matter what percentage is taken off!
