Damn, you TFS guys are skinny!!! I'm 30-32, depending on the designer...

faust...i think they are just a lot younger...give them time... [/b][/quote]
OK, now I feel really bad, cos I'm a 33-34! Can't remember the last time I was under 30ins (probably because my cognitive functions hadn't fully developed then ).

Nqth, I'm a bit reluctant to recommend this, since I've got my eye on it myself, but if you're looking for a neat fitting jacket, one of the comme ones on yoox should be ideal. It has an almost "egg timer" like shape in the photo (sorry don't know how to post photos), and comes in dark blue and black. I have one in black, and once I got it (in the sale last year) i never had it off. It's so nice. The fabric is lovely, and it has the kind of ribbing/panneling details on it that all of the jackets had, but they're all the same colour. It is really fitted, almost chanel jacket style, and it's the nicest thing I own. So I'd recommend it. And also, if you don't like it, you can return to Yoox free of charge and they'll actually get UPS to come to your office/home to pick it up.

Thanks Faust :-) I will probably have one or two more suits for my whole life and they have to be Comme:-). I already have one (but not Comme:-) for my graduation and it fits very very badly.

Spacemiu, aloharag states that Junya Man jeans small are 30-31 inch in waist. I am also 28-29 :-)

Oh and another thing re sizing generally - you really need to try Junya stuff on in particular since the sizing is extremely eratic. I have a pair of size s jeans and they fit a little big on me (interesting, bearing in mind my recent dislosure re waist size!). I also have size m trousers which are just right. But with homme + i need size l trousers and size m jackets.

Having said that, Nqth, the yoox jacket I was talking about would be Ok I think for a 46.

Thanks so much for your advices, Johnny:-) I will keep my eyes on the jacket once I find it! But I will wait for their discount, tho :-) Yoox finally ships to Poland as well, although the price for PL is higher than for Italy, and not everything is available, neither.

I really wish I were a bit bigger, and I am working on it a bit:-). Finding the s here in Poland is a real mission impossible. Anyway I will have a chance to try them on by myself. I will probably go to Moscow and St. Petersburg next month (hurra! and check the discount hall in leForm:-)

I think that the jacket is here:

That's the one nqth. But don't go for the blue - go for the black! I will also be on guard at the time the reductions go on.

that's very interesting...

seems odd...because i would think that a larger woman would really be the junya/cdg customer in north america...especially taller women who can carry all the fabric and draping they often use......

exactly
I think it might have something to do with the fact that they deal with a fairly great number of patterns, and cannot produce many for each piece because of both technical problems and their being what is called "avant-garde".
BTW, Linea has nine sizes, therefore called unisex.


faust, how about Junya Watanabe Man Pink? (I don't know well about the label though)
on the first name, it's djun-ya.

 

[softgrey]

that men's jacket is beautiful...

Thanks for the clarification on the first name! BTW, I'm still wondering the correct prononciation of "Demeulemeester" . Junya Watanabe Man Pink, hmm, I never hear of it. Is it a different line?

Ngth, you lucky dog!!! You know when I was in Moscow I had no idea that Le Form existed

:-) and there is Star shop in St. Petesburg from last winter, too!

Man Pink is a women line after his Junya Watabane Man. It was launched last year, alongside with CdG Play.

Junya Watanabe
Comme Des Garcons Man Pink


The Tokyo Fashion Week (it's 'weeks' actually) has finally kicked off. Today I'm visiting the Comme Des Garcons presentatin at Aoyama's Ogasawara Hall, together with Tiffany Godoy. She used to be with "Composite" before, and after working for "Studio Voice" for a while she's now back in our team (a big sorry to SV editor Kato-san!). Introduced today in a floor show is a new ladies' line derived from "Junya Watanabe Man," and that's why we're rubbing shoulders with editors and stylists from virtually all magazines in town. The new brand name is -- quite exhausting to pronounce -- "Junya Watanabe Comme Des Garcons Man Pink." Junya Man is a casual men's line, and launched here in accordance with that is the casual ladies' pendant. It actually has a clear taste of punk, but it's a funny, almost cute kind of punk that will probably attract fashion-loving girls in their twenties. Revealed also next to this new line is Garcons' new T-shirt brand "Comme Des Garcons Play," and I really admire Garcons' professional manners.

Looks funky. I'm going to drop by the Comme store this week and ask if they are planning to bring it here. Probably not, since their store is not big enough for all these lines Comme is suddenly turning out...
