jodhpur pants are crazy great !! > <

i agree! the designer has made them look quite beautiful, which is not something that pops into my head when i think Jodhpur. There are definitely some interesting clothes here.

I'm loving the black trousers that seem to deconstruct down the leg to make a sort of delicate lace-like look too.

That white ZigZag belt!! its amazing!

I hate the stuff on the guys, they all look homeless.

I like spiked hardcore shoes but those are just horrible. The first two looks and the last look are inetersting.

They look like disturbed and mentally ill teddy bears lol

^ I wondered that too Gius..its hard to find information

I did find this though

Nozomi Ishiguro started his career with Comme des Garcons and spent 12 years developing design experience and working in a top capacity as lead designer on three separate lines for the label. In 1998, Ishiguro was given his own line of clothing and in 2002 launched the men’s collection. The Nozomi Ishiguro Gold line launched in 2005. The brand has been successful to a small degree but has not received as much press or international coverage as needed to become a breakout success. His style can best be highlighted by his 2005 show on the Meguro River under the cherry trees where a concert and dance show was used to illustrate his new collection.

He has a really whimsical aesthetic, which I love, but the menswear seems a little ridiculous.
