you're welcome softgrey

you can see how it was conceived:
items ranging in a vertical line,
also "one piece" ranging from top to ground ( or one piece embracing the whole human body ), where horizontal section and its height determined what an item was.

a trace of thoughts, something altieri shed, his slough

To runner or any other experts out there:

Would you advise against giving a 3/4 length leather a machine wash? Been too scared to try.

Definitely works with the leather shirts, do you have a picture of the leather?

Thanks...

you are welcome taupe



pace, it's best to give it a hand wash if you are scared.
though what I personally do would be a machine wash, cold, without any soap/detergent.

marine iguana!!!...
yes yes yes...
that is excellent...
it looks just like that!...


i really enjoy that jacket that has the pushed up sleeves...
i always wear my jackets with the sleeves pushed up like that...
and sometimes i leave the shirt sleeves long...
so i clearly like the look of that and this jacket gives that same vibe...
it's cool...plus it's clever...
what more can you ask for in a garment really?!...



thanks for sharing!...

issey miyake from 1982
this kamiko in the attachment below could be an archetypal vision for altieri and all his partners, successors, apprentices, epigones.

"one piece of cloth", "second skin", and "sashiko" are miyake's main themes from the 70's and also altieri's underground missions from the 00's.
"geometric shape", "body movement", and "unisex clothing" are typical subjects of miyake's work.
and they are what altieri experimented with in his projects named 'geometric', 'anatomica', and 'linea'.
it looks as if, to those key words born of miyake's early question about fashion, altieri had responded for further progress in the dark, in his own language primordial and ultimate.

'aesthetic words achieve actuality and the process of evolution continues.'

SOME/THINGS recently held a party (last Paris men's) but I didn't see the chair, hope I wasn't too drunk and missed it.

You did missed it, It was between the clothing rack/wardrobe and the dress installation. I arrived too late so no time to get drunk, ergo I had a prover visit.

thanks a lot for the images runner !

the suede jkt above is such and interesting pattern...
