I don't even like this designer's work (too Demna/Margiela-esque for me), but I can't help, but be impressed with the workmanship behind it.

just want to make sure that ccp had been ccp long before faust's site was founded. and that many of the members there were actually wearing his designs. and whether they are the members or not there have been some for whom ccp is just something to wear daily.
I wear his stuff myself. though I wouldn't wear it when I'm not feeling well. like I would not want to get in such a car as delta HF integrale in that situation. ccp mostly feels to me characterized by certain kind of excess, indeed.
but seriously I'd like you to visit the store and check the pieces in person. please. because there are also some things that could be more minimal than jil sander and hermes.
carol was already well-known to the industry when he launched his own label. he had been working behind brands ( german, italian, and austrian) as their secret weapon. in the interview (1998), he stated he preferred quality to quantity. "then I'd just be happy if ccp is worn by those who really like it."
found what could be taken as his reasoning. from 1998:I would love to see him strip all the deconstructed gimmicks and do something very clean and minimal, such as Jil Sander or even Hermès, brands who have a very different following but that might still enjoy the flawlessness of his tailoring and finishing.
maybe it's impossible to stand independent of zeitgeist. if there is something that doesn't include it, it's not fashion any more. mainstream or niche, center or periphery, fashion is fashion. in this sense, yes. there should be sign of the times engraved on ccp. at least on ccp as what we see in the wild, shops, or online.No doubt about that - CCP has stayed consistent since he founded his house - Although I would say that the influence of independent retailers like L'Eclaireur, Darklands or Atelier New York as well as platforms like StyleZeitgeist greatly shaped the overall aesthetics within which collections like CCP were marketed and found their respective audiences. Some of CCPs design details since, such as knuckles or elbows exposing metal plating, fall quite a bit in the gimmick-y territory favored by this audience and probably do very little to consumers who are unaffiliated with this particular style, but might just find him to be a brilliant tailor. Then again, this kind of fashion exists in a universe of it's own and hardly touches upon the conversations held elsewhere in fashion.
I am wondering if anyone has more information about this citation -- I've clicked through the digital version of Bomb #73, Fall 2000 on JSTOR and this image is not present. Similarly, if one searches JSTOR for Carol Christian Poell in BOMB magazine nothing comes up. I'd very much be interestsed in knowing where this is actually sourced from and confirmation that it is indeed CCP related.
