i love all the winter07 coats!

can sb. please tell me about the sizing of yy footwear, please? I plan to buy some sneakers maybe online. i really need some shoes, which fit with super-wide wool pants... Which european sizes are equivalant to the sizes I, II, III etc? Do their shoes always fit true to size?

tricky question, size 2 is lately equivalent to uk7 eu41, but I also have size 3 shoes which are like a 41.

If they are adidas colab, like ss07 sneakers, size 2 is uk7. PM me the exact model and I could give you more info.

Tweed herringbone suit from A/W 1997

It's from the collection that first made me fall in love with YY. I can hardly believe it's mine now.

^ beautiful

if I don't have some misunderstanding, isn't it a quiet runway with a piano accompaniment and an occasional flower in model's hands ? I liked the collection. somehow the existence of the scissors behind the work occurred to me more than usual.
I had (maybe still have somewhere) the video. watched it over and over.

 

[droogist]

Thank you runner. Yes, it's that show, with the tulips - most of the pieces were of the same tweed suiting fabric, I think. I vividly recall a cobalt blue two-piece outfit with exposed shoulders and feather trim - gorgeous.

If you still have the video somewhere - and also have the time and inclination - could you perhaps post it? Photos of this collection are very hard to come by...

 

[luckyme]

droogist, you know how i feel about this... but it can't be said enough...its artful and fantastical with a bit of cloud nine thrown in. i adore you in this suit.

 

[runner]

droogist, I'd have liked to, but it's a video cassette and it's a technical mission (almost impossible) for me from the stone age to upload it. sorry
off to see youtube if they have it, for the time being

 

[droogist]

^ Heh heh - no worries, I understand.

Thanks lucky!

droog - congrats on obtaining this rare and amazing piece... it is perfection on you. what a dream

 

[runner]

no luck on youtube
but the cassette is found and checked, the quality is not bad I think. some things such as the music was different from what I had had in my memory. there was a burgundy variation of the blue outfit.
I'll see what I can, so it looks like it cannot be done soon. but if it turns out to be impossible for me, I'll have to leave it to you droogist.

I really appreciate the effort runner - but please, don't put yourself through too much trouble!

just starting to really freak out about the fact that there is no longer a YY store in NYC...

...

what the h*ll?!?...
this is really a disaster imo...!!!...
being able to view the whole collection in one space was something i always took for granted....
now i have to deal with seeing bits and pieces of it online or in various different stores...

this seriously s*cks...
...
boo!

 

[BLUECHIP]

if i ever want any yohji i have to buy online. and most sites don't even ship to canada.

Oh got a sorte of queue-de-pie jacket some months ago ... And another with Dr. YY written on it ...
My collection carries on ...

Next time, I need a more "colorful" jkt ...
Now I need a shirt and shoes ...

To echo softgrey post, here are 2 pictures of the shop vitrine very recently ...
But isn't it closed for a long time, now ?
