i like paul harnden jacekts, do you have any more of them to post?

>>11057448
i dont get the appeal of harden. it seems like an "emperor's new clothes" brand. overpriced without bringing anything unique to the market

>>11057448
harnden is a hack

>>11057443
got two of them, both a little too small for me. but the shoulders on my heavy jacket are nice.

how come it seems the common trend amongst avant garde fashion is just unironed crinkly ballsack drapes

can anyone tell me of any sites besides h lorenzo and thearchive that actually sell BBS and don't try to make you inquire about it?

>>11057457
i kind of thought that it was the other guys who were hacks, from what I understand Harnden did it first, but many brands popped up doing similar things with better marketing (Bergfabel for one) I have heard that he stole some of his assistant's ideas though, but I'm not entirely sure of the story

>>11057533
geoffrey b small is the one you ought to be looking at PH and many other of the le edgy artisan all black brands are pretty shit
carpe diem and ccp seem to be the only ones worth anything

>>11057443
TVA julius and all the other burnt out gothic japanese brands are dead man it's over it's 100% over their niche has been so done to death

anybody here ever handled any of the deepti stuff with the silver yarn fabrics? what does it feel like?

>>11057539
geoffrey b small is a lot more interesting than harnden but i enjoy the story around harnden which is why i support the brand

>>11057548
who gives a shit i wear what i want

>>11057471
most of them imitated older avant garde brands and put their own twist to it

>>11057548

Julius had a lull there for awhile, however Prism and Sphere were great collections and a step forward directionally. Nilos on the other hand...

Geoffrey b small isn't really avant garde, though

I agree about Harnden, his designs aren't particularly interesting. however I think it does look quite nice

would you guys consider alexandre plokhov avant garde? I absolutely love his stuff and he's one of my go tos for pants.

>>11057617
From what I've heard it's what you could expect from literal silver woven into a garment, incredibly rough and any exposed skin will chafe badly.

>>11058297
Probably could be considered avant garde but pants are all I think he does well, especially recently he's been doing some really weird shit. Interesting designs but nothing practical, like a face made into a dress looks really cool in product shots but outside of that there is something lost.

I'm all for runway pieces and couture but most of his pieces like that come off gimmicky. That can be alright sometime but when most of your pieces in the runways are trying that hard to be "out there", it seems less truthful and more of an attempt to br something he isnt. Plus Plokhov seems to be stuck in this middle ground of couture designer (something along the lines of Van Herpen) but also a strictly RTW designer as well. Some can make this work but his conceptual pieces and RTW pieces are usually so dissonant.

>isnt really avant garde though
You obviously have no clue about GBS so please dont voice your ignorant opinion. Geoffrey has been doing avant garde since before you were born. He has been presenting avant garde collections in paris for the last forty years.

bump

>>11058511
its kind of a hopeless endeavor, so few people here are even interested in any of this. even fewer actually have anything remotely interesting to say

>>11058547
opps my b didnt read the title, although I mostly posted because of the PO4 bracelet

>>11058289
avant garde is any form of fashion detached from trends and sort of existing as its own entity. i dont see where gbs doesnt fulfill any of those

>>11058289
how the fuck is harnden's shit not interesting? the brand itself is perhaps one of the more interesting ones now with the method they construct clothing and their secretive nature

>>11058297
no. see >>11058330. hes a runway designer through and through

>>11058330
hot AF Tbh

>>11057539
nigga paul harnden doesnt fit with the le edgy all black artisan crap. he has his own shit. shits totally different from stuff like carpe diem, ccp, etc.

>>11061135
I mean if you are going to yell at him for comparing PH to the standard SZ brand, I might as well do the same to you for thinking that Poell and Carpe are much alike
>pic norelate

>>11061772
never compared them but just used them as they are common in SZ

>>11059491
>secretive is interesting

>>11058364
>avant garde collections
rehashing the same shit for 40 years isn't really avant garde

avant garde is margiela burying his clothes or Lang blending metal into his fabric

>>11061135
sorry you're right those were meant to be two separate thoughts and i worded it poorly

>>11058330
I had the front picture of this once

>>11062089
2 secs on warosu

>>11062092
shit dude w2c girls like this

>>11062092
jesus christ when did warosu go back up

>>11058577
These are my favourite fits of all time

anyone know any bags that fit the aesthetic? preferably messenger bags

>>11058277
imo the sephiroth runway show was some of the best they've ever done - shame beast seems to be kind of a step backwards

bump for inspo

>>11063769
Look at Guidi and MA+ bags. They have some messengers that are great.

>>11057617
>asks a board full of teenagers, aged 15-19

>>11065445
his intentions were in the right place at least

Thank fucking god for this thread OP. I haven't read through it yet but I'll be sure to keep this shit alive. Though I think rick should be allowed since his mainline can be nuts.

Bringing /fa/ back to its roots.

Anyone have good pics/interviews of Geoffrey B. Small? Couldn't find anything on google.

>>11066011
yeah, just don't make the whole thread about him.

how do I into poo poo pants?

tumblr has lookbooks floating around. stylezeitgeist has archives and articles on him

>>11066072
dont, its a tired trend. if you want though, make everything drapey as those type of pants are jarring at their own

bump

Aleksandr Manamis has pretty cool hats

Does Issey Miyake count?

bump

any ideas for a somewhat avant garde suit? got a ball coming up and I really want to wear something different than the standard suit, I'd like a sort of distressed (?) blazer, like if TAKAHIROMIYASHITA The Soloist did I blazer, i guess

idk, just post pics of cool suiting options please tyty

( pic unrelated 2 question but not 2 thread )

>>11066990
perhaps im not too sure though

>>11067886
im thinking of a blazer with sharp shoulder pads or a yohji-esque pants for this avant garde suiting

>>11058277
I'VE SEEN THINGS YOU PEOPLE WOULDN'T BELIEVE

>>11067886
w2c these pants ?
also w2c drapey shit like scarves / cardigans or w/e? I know NAHK has some that he wears all the time

>>11058330
if this is the future of fashion, sign me tf up family

>>11067886
The only outfit, that looks avant-garde for me. Everything else until this post is just crappie stuff.

>>11067935
rick

>>11066990
Yes. Issey, Yohji, Junya, Kei, Sacai, Undercoverism, The Soloist/Number Nine, and CDG are the greatest of all avant-garde fashion.

>>11068236
>literally fear of god, off-white tier
get this shit out of here.

Anyone here own attachment j-shaped jeans? I've been looking for a pair but they seem to vary widely in how they fit. Some look like they don't taper at all towards the hem, will these be too baggy to tuck in to boots/high tops?

>>11068241
pls explain

>>11070028
i own julius j shaped skinny jeans and the leg opening is too small for boots

>>11069539
gr8 b8 m8
they're good no doubt but not the best

>>11067886
sissyp makes some cool suits I guess

>>11069566
It is Off-white

>>11070051
Who would you consider the best?

>>11068236
Would be cool with better shoes

>>11068236
Goth chick from breakfast club core

>>11067886
I've got a lumen et umbra anatomical jacket thats pretty neat. Devoa does something similar with their suiting too

>>11058254
>most of them imitated maurizio altieri and put their own twist to it
fix'd

>>11057533
Elena Dawson was his main patternmaker for a long time and from what I understand when she left he was kinda forced to rehash some stuff that she had worked on.

>>11057475
What's wrong with enquiring about pieces you're interested in? BBS is notoriously expensive so it makes sense that retailers would want to sift out the tire kickers who might return a bunch of shit.

>>11057548
I still love TVA's patterns and basics. All their stuff fits me well.

>>11058297
Feel the same as >>11058330. No one needs a pair of pants with two waistbands and it's not making any sort of statement. I thought the stuff he did with Geller was fantastic for its time and I see potential in Plokhov's work but he needs another creative force in the mix to focus his vision.

>>11066055
He posts (or used to) on StyleZeitgeist. Any of his posts are good reading to gain insight into his views.

>>11066990
OG for sure

What happened to Sruli Recht? After his FW14 he just kind of died. It's a shame, his stuff was interesting.

Cringe general

>>11071552
either GBS or maurizio altieri imho in terms of influence

>>11071716
yeah thats what i meant

>>11072097
fashion pleb detected. how are your adidas zx fluxes doing?

>>11072097
back to your containment thread fuckboi

>>11072087
He's focused on designing hardgoods now. He released an interesting folding cardboard laptop stand last year and he's developing a crazy new whiskey glass that should be out this summer, both of which were funded on Kickstarter
