SUBLIME

ACNE

ALTHOUGH THE “CLING-WRAP”-ESQUE TROUSERS ARE (KIND OF) REPULSIVE, YOU STILL HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT FOR THOSE INSANE ANKLE-DESTROYING SHOES. I WANT THE SILVER PAIR

ANN DEMEULEMEESTER MENS

JEREMY LAING

EVERYTHING FROM THIS COLLECTION IS SO WEARABLE (IN A GOOD WAY OF COURSE). IMAGINE THE SILHOUETTE THE FIRST LEATHER PANEL DRESS WILL GIVE YOU. I DIE.

RAD HOURANI (OMG!)


LOOK AT THE SHOES WITH THE SQUARE TOES! SO BALENCIAGA-ISH BUT YET DIFFERENT AT THE SAME TIME. THE CHUNKY HEELS MAKE THE SHOES LOOK SO HIDEOUS BUT PERFECT AT THE SAME TIME. SIGH

OK ANYWAY, ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOTE, I AM VERY SAD:

It is the end of the line for Takahiro Miyashita’s label, Number (N)ine. The fall 2009 collection appropriately titled, “A Closed Feeling” will be the last collection. On Saturday, Hint reported:

“Today we received a letter (an actual letter, so you know it’s serious) from Number (N)ine. It started with this quote: “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.” You guessed it: the Tokyo-based, Paris-showing men’s label launched 12 years ago by Takahiro Miyashita is closing. The fall ‘09 collection—portentously called A Closed Feeling—was the last. The letter went on to say “Over the last decade, Number (N)ine evolved, always forging ahead with a unique and potent vision, to emerge as one of the leading brands of Japan.” We agree with the sentiment. Number (N)ine will be (m)issed.”

Hopefully, on the horizon will be a new Miyashita project.

JUST SO YOU KNOW, I AM STILL SWOONING OVER YOUR OVERSIZED ROSARY NECKLACE, MR TAKAHIRO MIYASHITA.. WILL MISS YOU LOTS X
