Limi Feu

[softgrey]

in an effort to keep the d&c thread on track..

i've started this thread to discuss the stores and the pieces etc...



so- i went to Jeffrey's...
they have about 6 pieces so far...

none of the pieces i am looking for of course...

*lucky- they have the shirt you are looking for...
the white long sleeveless one...it's about $500

blazers are about $1000...

so far...it's like 6 random pieces hanging on a rack looking really sad and forlorn...
hopefully they will get more stuff in to fill it out and represent the collection properly...

wow, their prices seem higher than IF.

please post you blouse that you bought from a previous season, it was really pretty.

 

[luckyme]

took some pictures this morning of the recent tops I bought from this season. I'm enamored with her clothing and really hope to get down to NYC to see more of this in person...it's that good.

the black long paneled jersey top is really pretty neat. it has a collar like in the runway picture. the shorter piece I have on today. the badly angled picture makes me look like I have mini feet when they really appear huge in the big stomping chloe boots. I couldn't resist giving madge simpson some face time. truth is I didn't have makeup on yet...

Thank you so much for posting that lucky!
You look absolutely fantastic...top suits you perfectly...

I am just speechless....I would have chosen both of those pieces in a heartbeat.

 

[luckyme]

thanks, you're too sweet... I wish the picture did more justice to the top [not to mention moi]. laika, I can't wait to see what catches your eye when you see it.

are you going down to the YY opening?

 

[laika]

right....

i'm recovered now...that was a whole lot of wonderful to see before noon.



lucky, i'm going to go check it out this afternoon. I walked by yesterday evening on my way to the market and everything was buzzing...there were all these big white bubbles, like in those ads from the late 90's. Everything was still pretty covered up though. I wonder if softgrey went to the opening?

I did go to Jeffrey to see the limi though. They had only very few and very plain pieces...no tees or anything like that yet. I hope they get more in, but I'm not holding my breath...

 

[softgrey]

i did go to the store opening...
it was nice...
they built a cool temporary structure around the YY store just for the event...

*the one thing that scared me is that i saw the asst mgr from the soho store there and she recognized me.....

clearly i am spending a little too much time at YY these days!...
...

lucky...
you look so cool...!!

those pieces are GREAT..
thanks so much for posting them!!!
looks like you found some good stuff..

i guess IF will have the better selection...
*big surprise*......

 

[luckyme]

I think softgrey might be going, maybe she'll pop in and let us know...

I think IF has better pricing than Jeffrey in this case.

I would love to see the overall's IRL.

 

[luckyme]

speak of the devil

you were posting same time as me.

please post your blouse and whatever else you can find in your closet.

 

[lmelanie]

I just discovered this line when i went to buy a few Y-3 pieces and the sales associate mentioned it...

i really would love to see it in person though!

 

[helena]

anyone know if its to be stocked anywhere in paris?

runner?

 

[luckyme]

so, popped in to anastasia.net this morning and they are putting up Limi and some Yohji. poor YY seems so dull now next to his offspring's work...

here are some items they have posted but check it out as they put more up.

[melt977]

wow... i didn't expect such a gorgeous bag...

and the last jacket seems fantastic...

Thanks luckyme!

 

[luckyme]

you are welcome...I'm noticing that some of these seem to be from the Trace line. Right?

from above the skirt with the gold bottom...
these two tees

[softgrey]

thanks so much for the heads up[ lucky...
i had a look through the pieces they have posted so far..

cannot say anything grabs me...
though i like the tie dyed pieces you postsed...


the prices are fantastic though......

still-- i think yohji keeps a firm grip on my heart...
when i peeked at some of his things i completely lost interest in limi......
i just still really want the t-shirts that i originally liked, and still haven't seen for sale anywhere here......

*curious about trace though..
sometimes i like trace better than limi...

thanks again dear!..

 

[luckyme]

that's funny I was totally wooed by limi... and yohji, other than some of the white/black tops left me flat. she seems to be hitting the "punkier" mark a bit more for me, which makes sense for my style.

 

[softgrey]

yeah- but compared to yohji which is sooooo soooo elegant and refined...
the stuff just looks ..i don't know...sort of immature in a way, if that makes sense...

at least that's how i see it...

 

[luckyme]

and the paths diverge...once again

 

[laika]

thanks for the heads up, lucky!

i'm not really feeling it, although a lot of the pictures of things I am interested in are not showing up yet....i like the stripey tanks, but I'd like them in black.
to be fair though, it's pretty impossible to judge the garments when they're on those mannequins.

also....i have to admit that, even on the runway, i don't like this collection nearly as much as some of the other stuff limi has done...so that may be part of the issue too. i still the two pieces that you got though.

s poor YY seems so dull now next to his offspring's work...

blasphemy!

 

[softgrey]

^^...

that was my reaction as well......
