you are welcome softgrey
checked it a bit.
they confirmed the F/W 11 collection now in the stores is by naoki takizawa.
as for the points of sale in japan, it's not bad at all. rather small scale yes but actually it's better than the prada years. it looks like a sound business. at least it doesn't look as if they were just temporarily playing some kind of dead or alive business.
which you can see from what they did with the new mens footwear line. they are trying to do something stable although it's not very fashion-forward. it's different from the womens line. the directional difference is a bit too interesting for the same label.
he had his column in the asahi earlier this year and was generally talking about the relationship between designers and managers.
he said " the management side sometimes sets designers at the starting point, without showing a goal.
and designers start to go, without any map of the destination, any weather forecast and without preparing enough. the company arrives at some desert and nobody exists ".
I didn't think he was referring to himself and link-theory in particular.
but now he might have implied the lack of the union he saw at the company.
it's their territory.
in fact, for any little info on the mens line we have to visit link-theory.com or naokitakizawa.com.
I *guess it might have been somewhat awkward or messy within the company.
the reason for naoki's taking over was he had been friends with the president, ceo of link theory japan for about 30 years. ( apart from his being talented )
and the man passed away on august 9.
I wonder if we have been seeing things affected.

this sounds incredibly ridiculous, but it may simply be that the website is for the colovos' HL at the moment.
