Personal must-haves for F/W 07.08

[Multitudes]

all your short skirts are fabulous. brave young girls...lets see all 3 on please. show us those long legs.

I concur! ...

luckyme I hardly have what you can call long legs. But I think short skirts are flattering on me as I am short..

Yes, short skirts can indeed be delicious, to keep it it in the culinary vocabulary, on any leg length!

And I thank you all for the kind comments!

But did you hear me at all!

I said "DRIES VAN NOTEN pieces at reduced prices!"

For god sake! ...

 

[softgrey]

pucci, what is "pelmet"?

lucky, that is such a shame about the top! Sometimes I have a hard time figuring out the logic of comme pieces.

yeah- what IS pelmet...?...


laika...
did you figure out your cape yet...?
i figured out mine...yay!!!
yattah!...(runner taught me that-it's YAY in japanese.......)

...

it's really hard to take pics of it though...
being black it's so hard to see detail...
and every time i lift an arm to shoot...you lose the effect in a way..

maybe that's the point of comme, there is no logic.
if anyone call pull it off, it's softgrey though.
I def could see it with a ls fitted top under it and long puffy sleeves poking out.

pelmet is the type of shape of the skirt... I don't know if it's only used in the UK? here is an article on it: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19990320/ai_n14217484

and if you search for 'pelmet skirt' on google then you'll find it.. miu miu does a lot of those types 'pelmets' every season.

softgrey It's only pleated at the front, but I must warn you the skirt is SHORT! It is great, so close to the skirts miu miu always makes, for a fraction of the price!

It is indeed already very cold here, but sometimes we get quite warm days again.. I have stocked up on opaque tights from Wolford so I should be good when the tights season come.
Alas, as we have not had any summer here I feel 'ripped off' I still feel the need for bare legs. :/

Can you post a pic of the inside maybe--how you tied it together? That's the part that's confusing me....I probably shouldn't have taken it apart in the first place....

I am also puzzled by the armhole...

 

[luckyme]

browns is so tempting right now with free shipping but the new Dries is more tempting.

how funny are you two with this scarf. you both should try it and take a pic and let us decide. inquiring minds what to know.

and yoox just sucked me in with these 3.

the dries sweater might be too much pattern for me. it might even be ugly, just not sure about it until I see it IRL.
junya top is cool though. I've seen it before and always wanted to try it.
the ann d. sweater is a black basic, nuff said. love it.

Sooooo can somebody please buy this ...

brownsfashion.com

For me!

 

[pucci_mama]

Those BOOTS are awsome! I would not know what to wear the with though.. but they are just so beautiful.

 

[wheneveriwakeup]

Multitudes, Lucky actually owns a pr. of those lovely Dries shoes...

Lucky, nice stuff, I love the print on the Dries top, quite hsntly.

 

[softgrey]

^^^lucky bought those oxfords......
maybe she will let you borrow them?...


...


lucky- the junya top has your name all over it!!!...

 

[softgrey]

yattah!

I am also puzzled by the armhole...

i have it totally figured out...armhole and all...
where should i post...?
i think it needs it's own thread....

instruction manual for avant garde clothing designs...maybe?

 

[Multitudes]

It calms my fragile heart, to know that somebody out there
is walking the soil in those beauties! I thank you Lucky ...

Borrow them eeh?!



Ok this is going real fast, I nearly missed this!

I guess I was just so happy to see you here
....that I didn't even notice Mr. Van Noten.....

I can compete with Dries!

 

[laika]

yes, please softie!

I'm sure there are others with mysterious garments to contribute.

 

[softgrey]

pucci
i read the article and searched google for images....
but-
i still don't get the whole 'pelmet' thing...
does it mean micromini?...or sort of egg shaped?...

laika...
i'll get some pics posted then...
but they are really still hard to see ....being all black you know...


btw---
has anybody been checking out the marni.com site...??

i found these which make me drool...

 

[luckyme]

agreed, that's a good title. it will start to get filled up quickly with comme, I'm sure.

thanks for the nice comments on the Dries oxfords. they go with everything in my ever growing (thanks to this thread) closet. I wear them all the time. honestly, I might have to get another pair just in case I wear them out.

after looking over on the browns website, thanks to multitudes insistence, I picked these as my wish list. and I do mean WISH list, not must buy list. the colors this season from Dries are truly amazing ...I'm getting kind of tired of shopping lately if that's at all possible...

mulititudes, I tried on that dress, in the long sleeve tunic version earlier this season and it is dreamy. its sheer, very fragile, and the price is high.

god, don't get me started on the marni website. I bought a red (I've been on the hunt for something red) silk top and a tan wool skirt the other day. I've been a bad, bad girl. I also love the zipper top but as it is we've been eating a lot of pasta lately.

softgrey, I love those boots, they are they're timeless. I could totally see the boots and that sweater with your mini...

[Multitudes]

Lucky The Junya top and Ann Sweater is wow! ... Especially the Junya top is really intriguing and beautiful ...

I know it's expensive, but I just find it so beautiful! It kind of make me a bit disappointed with Dries mens line when I see what he design for women!

Talking about Junya, is there any of you girls who's been looking at Junya boots for Fall/winter?
I think I remembered some fierce ones! B)

 

[wheneveriwakeup]

Lucky, I love it all...! That shade of orange is perfect. The Junya top will work well with l/s tops and both trousers and skirts. It's punk-y, too.

Good stuff! You're a 'good girl' in my book.
