heard from wjk that jun and maurizio will be doing a wjk x c diem shoes project that'll be launching at wjk stores in september...

 

[runner]

thanks johnnyt, surver

ddohnggo, the clothes from the label are not so bad in price.
the kimono vest was about $450 (maybe it didn't go into production though).




so maurizio showed the new pieces for S/S 08 in the open air
at an open space by a river in paris
now that they had sold off the garage.
and the label name seems to end up as "avantindietro".

 

[softgrey]

so there is no more c diem?

 

[runner]

it seems that he parted with the name cdiem now, yes
but I don't know if someone else buys it and uses it, or if he will revive it in the future.

 

[*sayan]

Looking forward to seeing what the new designs are about, thanks for bringing in the fresh info.

 

[ddohnggo]

wow. runner, are the designs the same and just a name change?

 

[runner]

you're welcome sayan


it's not the same ddohnggo

 

[keyboardcowgirl]

Has there every been any discussion or feedback from CDiem boot owners regarding the comfort of the shoes themselves? Was it hard to get used to the up-turned toes?

 

[runner]

in my opinion, the upturned toe is not anything you have to get used to especially,
in terms of the comfort.
if anything you might have to get used to choosing the pant to wear with the toe.

but overall the lasts they make may be more suited for someone with low insteps.

nice leather goods...
so the little + or 'cross' is some sort of logo then>?

 

[laika]

I believe the brand is pronounced "m.a. + cross," although I have also heard "m.a. plus?"

runner, any info on the correct pronouncation?

 

[laika]

sorry, I meant "m.a. cross."

too much wine last night....

 

[runner]

yes softgrey the little cross stitching or staple-like silver crossing can be its trademark.

laika, the pronunciation is "m a cross" according to Mr. Amadei.
also he seems to want it to be called Maurizio Amadei cross, m across, or just "cross".

 

[Casius]

Good info Runner as always. Thanks for the pics. Amadei is quickly becoming one of my favorites and the s/s 08 collection looks outstanding!

you're welcome Casius
