Tokyo Collection S/ S 05

[faust]

Absolutely. I just don't see how the prices can get so high. The shoes are about £1000! I suppose I buy expensive clothes and don't therefore usually get "moralistic" about it but to some extent I feel uneasy about such high value garments. I know they're not doing anyone any harm, but is there really any need for it. Do guys who want a kind of easy going, slightly dishevelled look really need to spend that amount to get it? And I know the whole point of the line is the batterd up thing and the lived in appearance, but when they are so highly priced doesn't the irony of that just get a little too much?! I'm not at all attacking anyone who buys the stuff (I know runner does and I would never critisize him), but its just so much money.... The clothes are nice though, undeniably.

The shoes are about $1000 here, but it's still very expensive. Yes, I feel uneasy as well . I suppose I'd have to be in another state of not only income, but mind to buy it at full prices. Thank God we have Barneys here .

I think its like Softgrey said,
they either speak to you or they do not.

i got an email from viridi-anne... if you're in tokyo they're having a sample sale- 50-80% off or something... can someone go and pick up some stuff for me? haha..

 

[Arturo21]

I'm really confused. Is Viridi-Anne a label or a store that carries several labels. I love the clothing they carry, either way.

Where can I get more information on Julius..when I search it on google nothing about the label comes up since it is such a common name. Thx.

 

[xcoldricex]

viridi-anne is a label.

 

[raijin]

Here is some info that I know about Julius, Arturo

Its a japan only brand that has thier own store in Daikanyama.
The prices themselves seem reasonable and some of the leather and dying methods emulate the feel of c diem.
Personally I think the leathers and blazers are the strong points, with the rest being weaker.

There seem to be a couple local japanese brands like this, but Julius is the most well known.

I think it is very hard to get english information on it because It doesn't have a following in the US.

 

[Arturo21]

Yea, I thought it was a label.

Well, if anyone find any information at all, please post and share it w/ us.

Thx.

 

[xcoldricex]

i will probably be getting a few pieces in the near future of both viridi-anne and julius (hopefully). i'll let you know how they turn out if i do.

 

[AlexN]

Just discovered this thread. I'd love to find some pieces from Julius!!!!!!! Viridi-Anne, too. Oh my...

 

[xcoldricex]

runner, do you know anything about the quality of either of these two brands?
