thanks for posting runner. I don't really like it - apart from the red top which is nice enough.

well...a shirt from the regular line can be $600...
and dkny is in that price range...maybe only slightly less...$400-$600...
dkny is always my basis for diffusion prices becuase it's one of the first and it's hugely successful...

i think marc by marc is about $500 for a jkt...
that's why i think it's a little more than it needs to be...but it's also a much more innovative design and so probably costs more to manufacture...a more complicated pattern takes longer to cut and sew...maybe that accounts for the price discrepency?...just speculation...

the prices are high...but i like the pieces...i assume the jacket comes in another colour?...i think that's my fave piece...


thanks runner...these pictures are really like seeing the stuff in person..i love the inside the dress picture...i've been wondering what was going on at the bottom of that little dress...

 

[helena]

oh is the red top actually a dress?

 

[softgrey]

apparently...that's what is said earlier...i think it could be cute over jns...

 

[helena]

yes agreed. v. cute for summer over jeans.

I guess you are right.

I like the pieces too, very good for a diffusion line. I can totally see Co-Op carrying this...

 

[softgrey]

co-op?...i guess you're right...i've stopped going to that floor...but i guess that''s where it would go...

How funny is this:

I had just opened this thread and the phone rang saying there was a Chalayan order ready to ship to me....wrong store, same namebut strange, no?

I LOVE the yellow jkt. would like to see it in anther colour. The drape in the front is f'ing amazing!

 

[softgrey]

chris...that's a little freaky...LOL...

These are Japanese prices, and European goods are usually more in Japan than America, to my understanding, so the American prices may be less.

Any ways the line looks great so far.
