Comme des Garçons F/W 09.10 Paris

The Gap is wearable.

Yes, it certainly is - although I have to admit, I've never bought anything from the Gap, personally.

But, I'm not trying to compare this with high street (main street) fashion, mikka.

I just think, if you asked most ordinary people (or even most people in the fashion world), if they were honest, they would say that they thought that many, if not most, other R-T-W clothes were more 'wearable' than most CDG designs.

That's not, necessarily, a criticism, though; merely an observation.

I don't really understand why it would be viewed as a negative by some CDG fans?

Surely, one of the main reasons one would like CDG, would be because it's conceptual, rather than 'wearable'? So why not 'own' one's own taste with pride, instead of trying to convince us non-fans that we just don't 'get it'?

BTW, did you mention The Gap because Phoebe Philo designed for them?

thanks for the pics, Inaya.

I saw first shipment of the collection at the NY store a few days ago and it's loooooovely and so "wearable."

Oh I must have those shorts. So cute!

I doubt this collection will sell well, but we will see.

i'd love to have the half-chiffon jacket thanks for posting inaya

^ no prob, I am obsessed haha

nope they're in the site itself, but I know what you mean, their search function isn't very accurate sometmes. here is the link for the jacket

thanks again yeah it's a little tricky for me to navigate

the different angle shots are really wonderful
i like the back.. with all the fabric floating

i guess if i don't catch the collection this round, i have to go to Ebay or something...
if they only reproduce the collection once.
there's also this vest with the same idea with tulle that i'd like...

i agree with the obsession ^^ the treatment of the clothes and colours, i imagine they'd suit me really well even
