Where can I get Raf By Raf Simons online besides Browns since they have horrible selection? I tried checked out Japanese stores but they are way overpriced!

Thanks

i must say i got to see some RAF stuff as an overseas friend purchased some.. (he regrets now poor guy) and its HORRIBLE.. i love raf but this is pathetic.. im glad he re-did the ss 2005 sneakers but man.. a lot of it is s*&t quality for the price.. i saw the torn jeans from luisa..which werent great shakes..and those slash hoods and the tank.. for all that money..id expect better.. i think raf might have to step up a lil bit..
ive been getting some complaints from ppl i know who bought his jeanswear.. who say they fall apart quick...is that true?

No, no, I was merely pointing out our concurrent reviews

ah cool ..

a lot of raf pieces really attract my attention on the runway but ive been disappointed many a time when i see the piece in person or in pics without the styling etc.. esp the pieces on luisaviaroma.com dont interest me at all... maybe its just their buying!

On the other hand..sorry to go off topic but Ann dems stuff is exactly the opposite.. even the stuff that i might not like as much hits me like a surprise when i see it in person..

I feel thats where her magic lies.. the garment has some sale appeal(life? perhaps)..i dunno how to put it ... but i feel that a lot of rafs clothes lack that unfortunately(to me atleas)... and i love rafs stuff.. i suppose his core items are his tailored pieces.. shirts, suits, pants and knits(which are always cool).

Absolutely. Forget the sweatshirts, his tailoring is superb. And, yes, LVR sucks. I was in the actual store - total eurotrash.
