Dior Homme - posting requires reading thread rules!

i don't see how he can even put it on.

 

[Amo_Armani]

At least he pulls off Dsquared well.

 

[fashionken]

I definitely will. I'm having him make a variation of the S/S 06 safari blazer and a basic peak lapel one-button grey blazer.

Ha ha, looks like I've found the other "big client". Sam made the hussar jacket for me originally, it's amazing. I thought about asking him to make the Napoleon jacket for me but I decided not to, because I'm still dreaming of the day somebody gives me the original. I'm definitely going to have him make the Chanel-like jacket from autumn/winter 06-07 for me, he's actually really good.

 

[Izreal]

how much did he charge you for the hussar jacket?

i'm thinking of having him make a variation of the SS06 short trench, maybe with mao collar like the one posted earlier...

 

[fashionken]

Since he had to make the pattern from scratch he charged me US$270 including International Express shipping. I know it sounds a bit expensive but I tried on the Dior original and it was like $2400 and the fabric was crap so I was rather content with my deal with Samuel. I swear, it's a perfect copy.

 

[Fade to Black]

No need to defend your purchase, fashionken. It sounds like you made a perfectly reasonable and rational choice...given the nature/quality of this season's collection I don't see anything wrong with getting a custom made version at all.

 

[fashionken]

yeah, I know ... it's all a bit hennes, isn't it?

 

[Harryx]

And this is for you alex

 

[doo888]

Yeah it's a hot jacket Alex! Definitely a rarity. If you look closely, it even looks like the front buttons would be hidden under a flap when worn closed too! I have never seen it anywhere, in any color myself.

The front buttons of a blazer jacket being 'hidden' can be found on a number of pieces that from Slimane for YSL RG. Very minimalist and clean.

 

[Chinor1z]

Hey Winston, good to see you back around!

I've taken a look at Slimane's YSL pieces and a lot of them don't really "do it" for me. There's a fine line between minimalist and basic and I think a lot of the sweaters/long sleeved shirts that I've seen from his YSL days are more the latter than former.

I can see the evolution from that into early DH, but I definitely prefer his early DH work over his YSL pieces.

 

[Harryx]

I agree with you Albert, although some of the coats are perfect.

 

[thomasology]

Where can I find Small sized Sport Coats and Suits. a Size 36 US?

...I think even the upcoming winter collection is reminiscent of 60's/70's style art films, maybe it was the lighting in those photos I saw on Getty Images when they first came out but I picture them being worn in a scene where people are congregating at some big banquet with a lot of pretentious smiles and flattery going around...very aristocratic (not to detract from the clothes, which I thought were nice mostly, I'm just describing the kind of image they evoke from me).

Speaking of Aristocrat, has anyone seen the movie? I have, and imagining aristocrats in Dior Homme attire is, well, just sickening

 

[Magnum]

Now we're asking for favours... I don't remember the season but it's from a couple of years ago: A very discreet pin with the CD initials, might have been silver. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Reflection. Yes I believe it was sterling silver.

 

[jevna]

Has anybody seen this tee in Italy, NY, Paris or somewhere? Has anybody seen an XS of it? Thnx

 

[StrokesFan210]

Don't say I never did anything for anyone

 

[issa]

Did anyone buy the long front tux with cropped back in the ad campaign?
How much is it? I found the the sizing is a bit big compare with other piece.

 

[AlexN]

And this is for you alex

Do you actually have this for sale? If I had unlimited money, I'd buy everything you have.
