even most of balmain's rtw is on a whole other level from SLP and Givenchy, they're one of the few european houses that still does a significant amount of stuff in-house (the most notable other being carol)
balmain is expensive
slp is overpriced

i tried on a ridiculously expensive SLP jacket, like a retail of 50k
didn't like it that much

stuff is done in house, ridiculous amount of time and effort gone into different manufacturing methods - it's very well made stuff and the processes are pretty laborious

what the fuck is wrong with you, even the store itself is a great design space. did you not look at any of the womenswear? any of the ganryu or junya pieces? any of the various collaborations i'm sure they had the store?

What's wrong with black shoes with a grey suit?
That's what your supposed to wear, especially with Thom's stuff, Thom has explicitly said to wear black brogued wingtips.
And Thom himself also said either no socks (the preferable look, personally) or solid black socks.

Thom Browne, as I said, "the strength of his vision and execution", rather than how "cool" and "trendy" his clothing has been in recent years, as sadly is Rick's case, despite the immense intellectual and emotional investment Rick puts into his clothes.
The only real opposite case I can about TB is Pusha wearing TB in one photoshoot, but that's about him, and that's his stylist's decision moreso than his.

Ok, perhaps I've been somewhat simplistic, I'm sorry for over-generalizing, but on the whole, I still maintain that Rick's fanbase is more guilt of it than Thom's.

Response to this forthcoming, very interest points raised.

Look trunks, you do seem at least somewhat passionate about fashion, if you want a dialectical exchange, I'm always more interested in a conversation that shit-flinging. If you're interested in something I said, either ask more, or feel free to challenge me if you have legitimate reasoning behind it.
I know this is 4chan and all, but that doesn't mean we can't have thoughtful responses and actual conversations about designers and their work

Tom Ford's basically known for reinventing the house of Gucci to a lot of people, and he certainly made them more financially viable, but I'm not a fan of his work.
Thom Browne is a genius, smart and very slim tailoring, subversion of the rigidity of menswear, always embracing a whimsicality and absurdity in his designs. Shorts. Also shorts.
