Anyone want to sell or trade Cav Empt pieces?

Some people follow the label like a cult. Others hate it.

Personally I think Cav Empt is hit or miss. In previous years, the brands has created numerous grail status pieces. Lately it has fallen rather flat.

I'm mostly looking for the older stuff.

Also Cav Empt General.

It is exactly fuccboi's like yourself who are ruining the brand.

You think that you are some special snowflake because you saw it on tumblr a week before A$AP wore it. Now you think we can't discuss it because people will learn about it

If you were a real enthusiast of the label you would contribute knowledge. Which you won't, because you are an average fuccboi who knows nothing of the brand

>> No.10389600

>>10389535
I wasnt aware any western celebrities has worn it, and I dont use Tumblr. Obviously this is impossible to prove as I could just be lying.

Look at the listings on Grailed trying to sell the plague hoodie for like a $60 markup. Thats just the beginning. Obviously its not going to rise to Supreme levels of hype where you need a bot, but it will probably do you a service if youre there within a few hours of the items going on sale.

So since this is a Japanese brand I should get a size larger than I usually would, right?

Quality wise most if not everything is great. I would advise going for more of the Made in Japan stuff (the ones with ziggurat patches are all Japan-made but it's not just them)
All the pieces I own were more than worth it.
Size wise, everything released before FW 2014-5 needs to be one size up from your normal, except outerwear, they usually run tts or even larger.
Tees and LSs that release now are more tts than they used to be.

Yah I see that we're still only at 14 posters, so it's not like there's that much interest, I just wondered what happened. Why can't /fa/ just time its interests correctly and not come off as trying to bite a style that's already on its way out. Same with 99% of the threads here that are designer specific. I dunno how people who are actually into fashion feel a complacency to just "take whatever trickles down" from tumblr blogs, like we see with C.E. right now. Don't people like the hunt for new and exciting designers? I love discovering new ways that people are articulating youth experience.

A style 'being out' is very specific to each person's circumstance though, for most people here this is very much relevant still, cus they just found out about it.

Yah I'm definitely carrying a lot of pretense into this, and there's no reason to expect this board to have a strong awareness of what's happening in the scenes at this point, but I just wonder how people structure the ways they get information about clothing that results in the sort of posting we get on /fa/. I don't want to validate the madness of "always chasing the newest, the most obscure", but I also don't want to validate the social pathology of allowing brand fetish (especially after the designer has peaked) and consumption of specularized/memetic garments (like the Icons jacket) to stand in for discussion of fashion.

There is for sure, but the reward of immediately knowing a hundred designers that no one's going to have heard of is unparalleled. It'll take you a long time to develop the knowledge of the "Western scene" to the point where you can sniff out unseen talent and obscured beauty. Also Japanese is quite a bit more difficult than Chinese on the whole, but maybe somewhat equivalent for just learning enough to shop.

>how long do you think I'd have to study either language? Six months?

Oh my no, it'll be years and years most likely until you're fluent. Perhaps six months would be enough to search garments though, hard to say. You really benefit from being in Asia first off, as you can accrue a working knowledge of brands that will be sold in larger online retailers, at which point you can just click around to see the other names that they stock (this is true of Japan, not so much China--just the way that clothing is networked respective to their countries can't speak on Korea so much, but there are a lot of great retailers that host hundreds of top-tier designers (in english too.))

I just read fashion magazines, anyone will do. /fa/ serves zero function for keeping track of the fashion scene other than to see what aestheto-social trends are reaching critical mass. I don't mean this in a purely negative way, I find it pretty interesting to see play out.

Oh, and if you want a decent way to speed things up, just download a few Asian SuFu city guides, check the stores they rec. then see if they have websites. From there just look who aggregates them with others and check to see what else you like that accompany them. Eventually you'll end up finding easily accessible wesites like http://zozo.jp/brand/default.html?c=SwitchType&ts=1

Then the next step is figuring out how to import it, should you want to do more than just talk about up-and-coming designers online.

>> No.10390140

No problem

And as for the second...hmm, well, I don't have anything I actively subscribe to. Usually I'll watch a show or something, then I'll see who has covered that designer, check out the mag on a case-by-case basis. Otherwise I'll just casually click around on any of these http://nymag.com/thecut/2012/09/a-z-guide-to-indie-fashion-magazines.html

really? where?

>>10391701

I highly doubt it. I check Grailed, Ebay, Cav Empt FB pages, Rakuten, and Ebay JP almost daily and have never seen this listed below $350

No one who originally paid $300 for this would let it go for $90

Not him, but there are a lot of other places you didn't list that could be re-selling used C.E clothes. Honestly wouldn't surprise me either.

>> No.10392179

Where's the best place that stocks C.E in the UK? The only one I know of is GoodHood, but their selection isn't great.

>spoonfeed

I'm calling bullshit on this.

Why didn't you buy it then if it was only $90. Only an idiot would pass that up, considering it is worth 4-5 times that.

Holy shit the Cav Empt fan base is autistic

Not that guy but if it's not your style it's really easy to pass up great deals. Honestly if you know where to do you HAVE to pass up great deals all the time.

That is why I said Cav Empt has an autistic fan base. They all think they are in on some secret. Like a Jew who knows about a secret stash of gold
