Make your credit card bleed...

[iconemod]

Ok, let's suppose you've got your first big salary or your first big lottery win:
Which desired fashion item would you immediately buy/acquire/search at e-bay ?

For me, it would be a vintage YSL smoking, I don't care if it takes years to find it, but that's a great investment
Then an Alaias mink or cashmere-wool coat for my winters
Manolo's Mary Janes
And my black Birkin from Hermès.

ebay only? That really limits it

if it wasn't ebay, I'd probably dump thousands at Dior Homme, and likely tens of thousands at Atelier for the same number of articles of clothing hahahaha

 

[Diorling]

Do we have to get them at Ebay? Cause I cheated then...

- 30 & 50 cm black Birkin with silver hardware
- Balenciaga Croc Voyage
- The whole of Balenciaga's S/S & F/W 05 collection made to order for me, except the dresses. As well as the gladiator sandals and wedge pumps.
- All the Chanel menswear since F/W 04, everything they've shown.
- Dior couture flat Croc boots
- The whole Cartier China and Chanel Cometes collection and every piece of Dior's jewelry collection.
- 2 Chanel J12 watches, 1 in white & 1 in black.
- 2 La D de Dior watches, 1 in gold and 1 in the stainless steel.


Id better get on that whole career thing, or get a lotto ticket.

If I could make my credit card bleed, by buying happiness and love to all mankind, that'd be the best reward for me and the world...peace and chicken grease ...

i'd buy vintage balenciaga
and i really want to get my hands on some YSL from the 70's when he did all that russian peasant/folkloric stuff...

a birkin would be nice too...but i wouldn't carry one until i'm at least 50
because once i have that...i'm throwing everything else away...
and tons of different eyewear...

 

[Diorling]

wow, the first thing i thought was "a lot of Balenciaga!" and i guess everyone feels the same.

right now all i'd buy is a new car (mini or vintage aston martin) and house in pacific heights
a new wardrobe too, but i don't know specifics, just walk into stores, point, buy.

Yes, the archives would be a big part of my purchasing as well....thanks for reminding me.
