This isn't necessarily true: like I said, he really has a subsistence-based business model.
but just because he doesn't consider himself a "fashion designer", that's what he does - he produces fashion, works in the fashion industry and sells to a base of fashion consumers. He's produced look-books, he obviously maintains a relationship with buyers and such - if anything, i think his decision to not sell online comes out of marketing itself: exclusivity + high price leads to snob effect and all. it's as much marketing as margiela not revealing his face to press was: yes, yes, it's to make the house "different" and all and to not detract from the clothes, but at the end of the day, it's about bringing attention to the house. paul harnden might be an eccentric and certainly a lot less avaricious than a lot of designers, but he's still part of the fashion landscape.
i haven't actually read about the reason he established the relationship with l'eclaireur though, is this from the interview you have? would be interested in reading it but w/ever
i'm sure you're right about the collaboration with comme des garçons, because who doesn't respect and admire rei? if even hiroki does, paul must. but like i said: what this means is he is definitely connected to the fashion world: yes comme is certainly not orthodox by most standards, but he has relationships with tons of designers [1/2]

you know, if it walks like a duck, acts like a duck, and looks like a duck, but calls itself a water buffalo out of stubbornness, it's still probably a duck
>HE'S NOT PREACHING ANYTHING REALLY JUST DOES NOT WANT TO BE INVOLVED OR CELEBRATED BY THE WIDE EYED PUBLIC BUT ALSO TO MOVE AS HE PLEASES.
Yes, the latter part is definitely true - he's a true individual and just wants to get on with his life, as he leads it. at least going off people's anecdotes - he definitely seems like a funny guy, basically telling his customers to fuck off (see that italian guy for example)

pretty sure it's CREEP

I'm kind of glad that I'm selling all my streetwear pieces and moving more towards a pared-down menswear look. Fuuma is top-tier inspiration
