if you look in the ny street style thread you can see a pic of someone wearing these...
i think they look amazing on the right person...very very sexy...tucked into the asymmetrical boots for example....and then with a long top and 3/4 jacket...
i'd like to see johnny depp in this look...

sexy

 

[raijin]

Yeah, defintely love this style of pants.

Especially with the 3/4 length coat, Im debating getting one from Poell if the price is right, Since I have many slim-fit pants in my wardrobe.

 

[softgrey]

i would absolutely wear these myself...i'd like to see them with a carpe diem lthr jkt...

thanks for the pics raijin...

 

[raijin]

There are a lot of people routinely coming back to this thread but not commenting.

Come on, say something guys!

It was a lot of work to upload all these pictures.

 

[raijin]

Your welcome, Softie.

That's a good observation...and it does sound like it would look good if someone can wear them right. Too bad I'm not Johnny Depp.

 

[AlexN]

Hmmm...I'm not a fan of the last pants posted...at least not on the hanger. I'd have to see them worn.

 

[travolta]

if anyone buys this stuff they must model it and take a pic--you can crop off your head and still be mysterious

 

[xcoldricex]

not a fan either. where's that pic softie? trying to sift through the photos...

i agree with strawbutterb. i'll try to snap some pictures of my shirts. and my belt whenever i get it.

 

[AlexN]

Faust needs to model his CCP pants.

 

[raijin]

Haha, will do.

The pants are essentially a similar cut to Linea but in more of a proper trouser form.

 

[xcoldricex]

i so regret not getting those cream ones on yoox.

Faust

I checked out all of these (other than Dirk). My thoughts, for what they are worth. Some (but not all) of this is lightly off topic.

Ann Dem I though was the best of the three. The summer collection clothes are light (fabrics), well made, modest, simple but with enough details to make them interesting and reasonably priced. Tried on a grey PoW suit in crumpled mercerised cotton - v nice. Also really liked the prange leather biker, but (a) too orange for real life for me and (b) was not inexpensive! Womenswear also v nice - esp liked the fragile bias cut knitwear.

Still don't really get the whole CD/linea thing, or rather, I really don't think it's my style at all, so I can't even get into justifying the frightening prices. To be honest there's nothing wrong with the clothes, it's just that I can't see what the big thing is with them. I looked at the banana pants but they seems really really long - didn't know what to do with them really. I also stand by my view that it's a little like f**ked up calvin klein. Saw some people who looked very good wearing it though. Also saw one pair of pants that I liked - two different types of grey cotton, one light (at front) and one heavier.

CCP. First time looking at this in person. Find the shirts and tees dull. The leathers are stunning, esp the burgundy long coat, but there's just no way I can assimilate that into my wardrobe. It's quite a dark, gothic look, esp the way it's marketed in L'Eclairuer. The blazers and jackets were also lovely - one in particular in black raw silk. I like the way they're cut, as raijin has pointed out, with peak shoulders, very saville row influenced. TBH though, I'd rather pay that kind of money for proper Saville Row. I was very very close to buying a pair of his shoes though, in the bashed up burgundy leather. They were quite beautiful in a way, but I decided against for a number of reasons - (a) they were very expensive (b) they don't look that good with jeans and (c) I think that they'd be wasted on me since I'd wear them about twive a month. They deserve a better home!! Anyway, I can understand the appeal of CCP, certainly more than CD.

Thanks a lot, Johnny!

hi faust - thought of you when we were at L'eclaireur. Its mental - we saw Paul Harnden there....

I quite liked the CCP womenswear but its very very slim cut. almost manly. For me its too masculine. Saw some ann dem boots you'd love! LOL
