I'm sure he will develop nicely. There's definitely good stuff and he's already got the hype started.

.

Is it both - two sewn-in patterns on the lapels, as well as two protruding flaps?

The sweaters and the duotonal belt are great. BTW, is the belt made of canvas or leather?

Thanks again for the pictures, bakla!

You're welcome, raimund!

DNR mentioned Rosier as having worked formerly for Jean Paul Gaultier, and one other brand I can't remember right now, but no mention of Dior.

Also in DNR, it was mentioned that Saks Fifth Avenue is having a banner season, picking up 4 new menswear designers: Kriss Van Assche (pronounced "Ash"), Roberto Menichetti, Marni & Paul Smith main line will all be in store for Fall 2005.

OMG, that store is truly pathetic, no vision, no direction, no coherence, no nothing. Bakla, can you put in a word for me for a creative director position?

I wish. Lord knows the problem is that what works in NYC won't necessarily wash anywhere else, and you have to think 'chain' as opposed to boutique with Saks. Hell, even when I sold them mannequins, different states required different looks because of the differing fashion senses, despite the supposed need to maintain a consistent coporporate fashion look...

Found an interview with kris in a Belgian magazine called 'weekend-knack'.
Sorry the picture is in black-white.
The scan of the text is very bad.
Hard too read.
It's about his life and how he became a designer.
How he loves living inParis. How he grew up In Londerzeel. And he also says that fashion doesn't belong in a museum.

Not to mention he is such a cutie!

Funny you mention this: I was just gonna reply back that since these designers are no longer w/ DH, maybe that could explain why DH hasnt captivated me the same way it used to in the beginning. But it looks like you beat me to it, ionn26.

Either way, I'd definitely love to see where this goes in the next few seasons. Seems like he might have something interesting to offer.

And yes, he is a cutie!

It's been overheard that here in Hong Kong it would be Harvey Nichols (to be opened in July-Aug) which will carry Kris van Assche. I wonder whether it'd be the same in the UK.

Yes. I love every single piece in the show... I look forward to the opening of Harvey Nichols HK, and will definitely grab everything they have on the rack.

BTW, fds and I all agree that KvA might well be the designers behind those Dior Homme slitted V-neck cashmere sweater 'n etc, which he showed in his own defile. I don't agree people said about his references are the notion/ tribute to his mentor- Monsieur Slimane. Maybe the original idea came from hi yu KvA while serving the House of Dior. I was once a DH fan, however, who on earth would like to look as mod as Pete Doherty??? As someone else in this room mentioned b4, after 4 assistants left DH, it's not the same anymore @ DH. Everyone on earth knows, lotsa DH's ideas ever since the very beginning was actually originally from Raf Simons. Hedi Slimane is turning to a star-studded stylist, vvvv disappointing!

anyone know the price point?
