you're welcome Chinor1z

yes the coat and parka and jacket can come in fiberglass,
in gunmetal.
it is super photogenic.
it is dangerous rather than uncomfortable.
it splinters around the hem/edge, and fine filaments stick out here and there and shimmer bewitchingly.
every hem may become bloody, if you have tender skin.

invisiseam is not available unless it is specially ordered.
it is what they called "open seam", in terms of jointing the garment parts/patterns with the clear elastic fine nylon thread and making a hairbreadth illusionary gap in the seam.
but this time the point is for describing the outline of each pattern and accentuating the edge of each fabric.
so the gap is widened with a heavy visible thread,
which is called either "chain-seam" or "chain-stitched". the construction too is totally different.
though my english is too awkward to explain this sort of thing well,
I mean the seam line looks a bit like an emergency ladder (yes there is some link between this collection and S/S 07 paranoid).

my scan


Oh very interesting! I thought it was the same type of invisiseam, but I've only been provided the showroom photos and even detail shots don't tell you much when we talk about such specific techniques. I know that he's using it for the lovely spiral leg pants (did you see the leather "art piece" version of this he had made? Amazing!).

This may be the year that I custom order a gray suit done in invisiseam!

Thanks for the extra information Runner. I didn't know the coat was actually fiberglass (I guess glass fibers would equate fiberglass :D) but that makes a lot more sense... sounds like it's another piece that is also more of an art piece than something wearable.

So far, it is an interesting collection though!
 
wow blast from the past! thanks mr. runner for that scan :winkiss:
 
you are all welcome





Chinor1z, although I'm not sure if there is any difference between glass fiber and fiberglass, the swatch says fiberglass anyway.
yes more of museum's item or maybe another dark joke piece incorporated into his collection as usual ??
two toned around the hem or blurred trim like glued edge, which you'd dye and complete yourself,
for one of the elements here is the state like the shoreline, a vague boundary, gradually changing interface, two different phases such as we see on a freezing meat with drippings, irregular texture seen on one thing like a piece of fabric and its selvedge area.....heterogeneity. this is the motor of the collection.
this season is a bit like colloid science.

and yes I saw the leather pants, almost shorts that grow long broad belts from the hem, heavy as your belt rug.
"spiral wrap trousers", another hardly ever seen object.
maybe they are illustrative piece for one of the important facets: something that looks sectioned when observed in a certain way but actually one piece.
 
thanks runner for postic these........... the epic mainstream downstream.........
 
much appreciated for discovering the earliest shots. those wrap cocoon-style jackets are stunning! and the texture affect on the right piece is lovely.
 
thanks runner, that was my fav CCP presentation, always nice to see pics.

ss04 front zip black boots are so lovely.
 
Does anyone know??? If you were going to Europe to shop for CCP and similiar designers would you choose Milan, or Paris to find the largest selection.... I maybe going for a long weekend somewhere in December........
Kind thoughts to all.

Moscow!!
 
it might look like a wool long jacket in heather light grey.
but it's a bit different. it has a bonded cotton lining.
and they picked out the cotton fluff through the minute openings of the wool texture, like hair through pores

When was this made? Anyone knows a store that carries it?
 
you're welcome



Fuuma, so it's from the "hairy collection", F/W 04.
the only store I think of that has the slight possibility of still carrying it is seikatsu-geijutsu. they keep the lowest profile, don't have the website etc. maybe they don't accept orders by phone. they sell in an ancient way. so almost useless for you though. but try visiting them if you are ever in the city of morioka.

the trousers
courtesy ccp
 
thank you from me as well runner....
:flower:...

i never get tired of ccp...
it's always fascinating on some level...
even years later...the older stuff still looks really beautiful and super cool...
