on the rick store, a pair of astaire pants costs 500 euros, the swinger pants cost a comparable amount - the balloon pants, both cropped and full-length, in different materials, all float around this price, some a bit over 500 euros and some close to 450 or even 400
similarly to outerwear, jan jan's outerwear, say the felted wool coat with the sakiori collar, is about 400 euros less than similar rick outerwear, like the belted wool coat, and jan jan's "kimono blazer" is far less, just around 900 euros
if we're further looking at price: jan jan doesn't sell a ton of basics in the same way Rick does to offset costs of some other things - almost everything is low production run, and it all gets sold. and because there are very low production runs and it isn't outsourced to an extremely competitive italian firm making a relatively huge (relative to jan jan's output that is) number of pieces, especially for tees/tanks, jan jan certainly isn't producing as efficiently as rick, but in my opinion, it's certainly a better product - none of the textiles rick has used are anything like those i have from jan jan
the zara comparison is complete trash - you could say the same thing about any number of designers - because they don't appeal to the target demographic of fast fashion, who are perfectly fine with uninspired or outright plagarized design and cheap synthetic blends because it's cheap, its not accommodating? in terms of fit, it's far more accommodating and universal

it's just to discuss his work, it's basically me being evangelical, but hey, the same thing worked for schneider on here
