/fa/ - Fashion

usually what im dressed in

met Michele Lamy yesterday at Rick Store London
copped suede geos and white double layer tee
im gassed

>>9975653
that is a fucking cracking day jesus
was she nice to talk to or was she too ethereal and french to have a proper chat?

mohawk dunks
my absolute grail shoe

>>9975657
she was terrifying man -
short but with massive presence - difficult to make eye contact and wearing as many massive bangles as expected - she even had some facepaint on

she and rick-shop-man talked well enough though - she went out for lunch and he called her a "busy girl" which sounds like a great way to get cursed but w/e

>>9975642
felt appropriate

>>9975665

>>9975653
cool, I hear she's much more cheerful than she appears

please tell more

>>9975664
jeeeesus, its a shame rick wasnt there even if just to mellow her out a bit hahah
i've still never made it down to the rick london store what is the stock like there?
also what colourway of geos man?

>>9975667
such a cool fit, id on the pants?
pretty sure the hoodie is just a jason and they are crust dunks

>>9975667
I was just chilling in the front and Sam-the-store-bloke shouted out "Michele! Back from lunch" and shes all obscured by one of the big walls covered in stucco but I thought like "it couldn't be...!" and lo it was
tried to smile say hi all of that but shes kind of scary

>>9975668
stock @ London store is super good if you get on their email system - they do pre-sales at 30% off and you get mints plus they've got all the HUN and hunrod stuff to look at which is radical

I got black suede geos with white sole for £522 - putting the black laces in now

>>9975667
i always think this is a light pattern on the tee
very nice graphic

now i finally have some shorts

>>9975679
Yeah i've been a few times its a dope shop, how do you get on the email system?

Went into Selfridges yesterday and admired the sexy Rick Owens display but didn't go up to look or touch because I'm a poor bitch and can't afford it

I think I did the right thing

>>9976295
shouldve gone to the RO shop around the corner

>>9975653
I'm seriously thinking of copping a double layered tee, it would be my first piece of designer clothing. Do you think it's worth the price?

>>9975672
dont quote me, but I think i remember User wearing April77 jeans

>>9976304
How can, one man, be so based?

>>9976300
I bought a longsleeve double layer tee from L'Eclaireur for pretty close to retail and despite the high price I really love it. Really cool shirt with really elegant construction.

>>9976305
I have no idea

Thoughts on Sphinx RO x Adidas? I really love them. I always thought the first iteration of the RO x adidas were the most unique and uncompromising. I'm glad to see they've gotten even stranger. I'd like to buy a pair but I have no clue how I'd be able to wear it

>>9976311
that is a genuinely shit outfit
well done to tricky ricky for coming so far

>>9976300
yeah its worth it man, obviously try and get it second hand, but as long as you can put up with hand washing it is a great item

>>9976321
minus the coat it is great, but i do agree the coat looks legit awful hahah

>>9976318
they are so nice i totally agree, personally i would style them similar to something like sock ramones, a very skinny leg - leggings under shorts or v skinny jeans/trousers - then any top half will work really, personally i would go with oversized to counter the bottom half, probably a thin longsleeve under a sweatshirt

Just bought the Sphinx leather socks. Someone please tell me I'm not crazy for spending 1100£ on shoes.

>>9975852
w2c cargos

>>9975962
ask them for updates about an item or buy a few things I think

>>9976300
I think double layer tee is easily the best - try and get it 30% off but still like you can't replicate the quality from one + if its white its normal enough to just be a random dope item you have

>>9976882
they're SO dope

>>9976882
>>9977060
I was fairly opposed to them at first but after seeing them so much in Rick and different places I have really started to love them.

>>9976882
Fuck dude pics? Ultimate grail. I already have Geos so it's kind of hard for me to justify another pair of Rick shoes but I might just go for these.

>>9977169
Sorry, haven't received them yes. Had to get a guy to proxy them for me from the Rick store in London.

>>9976882
I'm not really that into Rick nor could I pull them off but I'm jelly as fuck honestly.

>Paying so much to look like a garbage flowing in the wind

blisters on the back of my foot first day in geos
no way my heel is too big for the shoe - do they just need to soften up?

>>9977313
It's the same with most new shoes. Just wear them for a while, it gets better. Eventually get some compeed or something.

>>9977254
Please post fit pic when you get them

>>9977311
you're entitled to your opinion and I respect that

>>9977311

Honestly, I don't mind that description. Something doesn't need to be precious to be luxurious.

I have this and i dont want it. Size 38-48 drkshdw

>>9977313
Wear thick socks till you wear them in

>>9976318

I'm so psyched for these. But that price... $1400

>>9976318

You can scrunch them down and wear them as slouchy ankle boots, too.

>>9976318
future-ninja-satyr hoofshoes

neat

>>9976882

Seriously a good buy. One of the few pieces that every season sells out full price. I love em. Would cop but just can't justify the purchase right now.

Can we talk about the encroaching amount of Made in Moldova pieces Rick has been including? It started as leathers, mostly the preco standards that he does every season (Bauhaus, Mollino, Stooges, et cetera), then it started to show up on more of the interesting seasonal leathers like the bag stooges, now this season it's all over the plain cotton tunics. Like, what the fuck. That and YKK zips? I realize that textiles have been shooting up in price but I'm not sure that the compromise is worth it. Just weird that DRKSHDW pieces are ALL Made in Italy still and ALL still use Raccagni zips.
Thoughts?

op here, just wanted to say this is a great thread so much positivity and actual good advice and discussion
rick fans are best

>>9977500
doesn't necessarily mean the quality of the pieces themselves will go down, altho the zippers are worrying, could just mean we have to lose the romance of made in Italy
although for the prices rick charges you'd think he could justify it

>>9977500

I honestly haven't run into any issues with the YKKs they're using now. Have you?

>>9976300
just copped one myself

can't fucking wait

requesting fit pics

I personally believe this is Rocky's dopest fit

>>9977500
Maybe his orders for his mainline fot too big for the factory and he decided to move everything elsewhere onstead of having to deal with two factories at once for his mainline

>>9977846

I haven't asked about the breakdown, but I've just assumed that it's the basic leathers (hammered lambs, blistered lambs, etc.) that are being moved outside of the Italian factory and that specialty seasonal styles and hides are still made in the Olmar + Mirta factory. Also, if anyone has a Moldovan leather, it'd be worth checking to see if it's still an Olmar + Mirta factory, just based in another country.

>>9977783
+1 to YKK being fine

i've got shit with riri and raccagni zippers and i've never zipped up my geos and thought it felt any worse, or different really from any other high end heavy duty zipper

>>9977371
thanks g :)

w2c the leggings rick wears under his shorts? are they the womens? or does he sell mens?

been wondering if I can pull off the geos/shorts thing @ 5'9"?

>>9978577

Might just be his socks.

>>9978577
love how she still wears those weird wrap around shades

>>9976882
They r so beautiful I'm very jealous. Obviously you can afford them! Love to see some pics

>>9977783
>>9977783

It's not about it being "fine" it's about a feeling of luxury when buying high end designer garments. Feeling like the choice is intentional. Raccagni zippers feel and look more substantial, plus the allure of Made in Italy does a lot for the status of a product, because let's be honest, I'm not buying a $3,000 jacket for it to be "fine", that's an adjective I use to describe things basics I buy from Zara. When I put my Mountain Bauhaus next to my Moody Bauhaus, the zipper teeth just do not look as good on the YKK. The zipper pull looks cheap, like I can tell from afar it looks like YKK, something I can find on AA hoodies. I dunno, just really loses its luster and I feel like the integrity of the design is lesser as a result. Obviously this is just like my opinion man but I can't help but start to turn away from Rick as a result and see other brands willing to put more attention to detail into their designs.

>tfw too poorfag to ever have these

Even worse I'd always thought Rick was pretty inaccessible in terms of what I'd wear, but I'd actually wear these. Yeah, yeah, I know it's an ROx Adidas, but still.

>>9978909

I honestly don't know where this criticism of YKK comes from. Just because they make cheap products doesn't make their more expensive products any less worthwhile.

>I'm not buying a $3,000 jacket for it to be "fine"

To be honest, I buy something expensive if I can afford it and I can't find anything I like as much that's cheaper. A minor change in fabrication with no noticeable change in weight or build quality won't dissuade me from buying something that I really like, really want, and really wear. I also think the AA comparison's a bit disingenuous, too. You put a basic DRKSHDW hoodie next to a basic AA hoodie (even an all cotton-one) and a blind man could still feel his way to all the differences: weight, elongated fit through the arm, pile on the fleece, fit through the body, width of the ribbed trim.

That said, if it makes you not happy about buying the product, then don't. You're the customer; you call the shots. Buy something else that makes you grin from ear to ear every time you zip it up and move on.

>>9978934
Personally, I'm not a fan of the superstar captoe. The ramones socks are great imo and these are ok. Keep a lookout for the Sphinx Adidas. They have the same idea but much more "Rick"

>>9978961
Ehh, the hoof sole kinda puts me off

anyone on /fa/ wants to unload rick tops and outerwear size large, bottoms size xs or 30, and footwear size 45..?

>>9977383
>Sphinx RO x Adidas
Wait a sec did they already show the rick owens x Adidas f/w 15

>>9979053
yeah man the new sphyx sock boots are SO GOOD

>>9979552
sorry correction they're not really sock boots more like RO/Adidas Biker boots? idk

>>9979561
are they made in asialand?

>>9979675
I hope so otherwise they'll cost an arm and a leg :/

>>9977805
Holy shit, Thanks for the responses. I'm 6' and 145 pounds, should u go for medium or small? I'm not really sure about the sizing. Also is the only place I could find the shirt is on grailed, is the site trustable.

>>9980102
I'm >>9977805. Shuit recommended that you go one size up, because "[t]he arm hole is pretty small". Considering that he's a mega skelly, I've followed his advice. I can't tell you if it's true yet, but if the threads still alive when I recieve it, I'll report back.

GF is currently visiting NY (from Aus) and will be picking me up some stuff from the Rick store. Will hopefully cop some milk geos, a few shirts, and a jacket.

Still waiting for Gen 2 island soles to drop so I can cop pic related. Is there an ETA?

>>9980114
Where did you cop yours?

>>9980182
Grailed

New condition for $ 215 shipped

There's still at least one more floating on there for around $ 200

>>9980139
>trusting your gf with that kind of dough

>>9980192
looks like Chad's getting a fancy meal tonight!

>>9976300
They look pretty nice, but do note these shirts are very delicate. I returned mine because i was not comfortable with how delicate it was. I also payed full price too, so paying that much for a fragile white tee that I was bound to get damaged just didn't make sense to me.

>>9980224
i just wore my 100% silk tee. holy hell its like wet newspaper

>>9980224
Honestly I thought those tees were good quality and lasted ages

>>9975661
>pay $3000 to look like a bum

>>9980230
I just discovered a hole in my Silent cashmere tee that I got three days ago ... guess it's money back for that one

ridiculous

>>9978962
You sound boring and are probably just wang those to say they're Rick.very few people who actually likes Rick and his look would prefer those Rickdidas to his other shoe choices.

>>9980376
Silent isn't great but that's just a defect my silent tees have been put through the gauntlet and there is not noticeable wear?
>>9980230
>>9980224
>>9980262
You're all fucking stupid. The shirts are thin yes but they are not weak. Unless you are a complete degenerate with your clothes they won't tear easily at all. Also how the fuck do you think his tees drape so nice? Do you honestly think so,e shitty heavy jersey could drape like a silk blend?

>>9980470
>don't like hoof shoes
>boring tryhard
This is why /fa/ is shit

>>9980491
That's not what I said though.... What I said is of buoy like those shitty Rickdidas over his classic footwear your probably just getting them for the name drop. Good try though and sick reading comprehension.

>>9980525
Whatever, you're just in denial about your hoof meme shoes

>>9980528
I literally don't even like those fucking shoes lol

>>9977363
I'll take the size 38, how much?

>>9978941

A blind person can feel the difference between YKK and Raccagni. They'll notice the metal is weighty and substantial feeling. They'll notice the teeth are large. They'll notice the polish is more smooth and fine. My point is that putting the two next to each other you'd be crazy to find the YKK more desirable or luxurious. It has its place as an affordable quality zipper but by no means does it provide wow factor nor does it inspire confidence in the intentions of the designer to switch to a product that is clearly the lesser. You actually prove my point here: the made in Moldova/YKK combo has kept me from purchasing any of his new leathers. Instead I'm looking towards brands with more inspired attention to details and looking at used garments that people in the community recognize as the superior Rick Owens era i.e. Crust et cetera. I just don't get the same excitement from his new as his old. I do love his collections as a whole though. Sphinx is one of my favorite I've seen in years.

>>9980734

okay.

meanwhile rick makes what rick wants to make, and his profits are only increasing.

real niggas don't fuck with rick, this shit is for retarded virgins tbh.

>>9975649

>>9977805
Are you the guy that copped the Large one on grailed for 215? I was about to cop ;-;

Anyway, I copped a few Rick pieces myself the past 2 weeks

A Crust jacket
DRKSHDW Long Sleeve Black
DRKSHDW Tank Black
And another DRKSHDW shirt, a short sleeve in white

I really need another mainline tee. The Anthem tee I have is so fucking soft

>>9981261
God cops, especially the jacket

Looking at some DRKSHDW cargos. The DU means it's DRKSHDW right?

>>9981012
Why are you so fucking opposed to YKK? I have a BLK Denim hoody with really heavy YKK zippers and a UC jacket with riri and honestly the YKK zipper feels so much better. Racc zippers are nice but honestly letting a fucking zipper or where something is made effect where you are buying something is the most fake/poser thing I've ever seen. If the garment is quality and holds up to other Rick leathers that have Racc and are made in Italy what the fuck is the problem? All I see is you being bitch.

As far as quality goes, dunks and geos around the mid to late 2000s are notorious for literally falling apart because they used staples and not glue/just one piece of rubber. I've heard a few other stories about questionable quality with tees around that time as well. You just sound like a less informed pigfuck right now but with Rick instead of Raf/Helmut. Talking about his golden age when you really don't know what you're saying at all.

>>9981535
m8 wot r u on? i don't think you meant to reply to me

does anyone know what year rick stopped using crepe soles on the ramones?

>>9981471

DU means DRSKDHW Uomo (Men's).

DS is DRKSHDW Signora (Women's).

>>9981671
You are right. Meant to reply here >>9980734

>>9981810
also as a followup, does anyone know if the crepe soles are durable or not?

>>9978934
anyone know the sizing on these?

>>9975650
so this guy is wearing bombers as shirt, jacket and pants?

what do people think of wearing RO with DBSS?

>>9982148

Think he might be wearing an unzipped jumpsuit.

>>9982160

I do it all the time.

>>9981810
can you provide a reference?

if like picture related, they wear down fast to what is your 'sole wear' pattern, are soft and get spongy when wet.

But they'll walk you over ANYTHING, sharp things will pierce (especially when sole is soaked).

Selling:

Drkshdw:

- pods

- exploder parka ( : ( )

mainline:

-creeper boots size 44

>>9975672

it's a drkshdw hoodie that's out of production.

>>9980734
"Raccagni"
"smooth and fine"

I can tell you right here my 10year old rick combats zippers are worn out and jam all the time.

Really, both companies produce competitive zippers for all commercial brackets (including luxury).

You can get large YKK zippers just as you can get small Raccagni zippers.

this isn't worth fretting about, measure the zipper itself (on the model), not the company (because they're both capable of shit and gold)

>>9980487
what? they tear and fray all the time, mine have inches of yarn trailing off their ends.

And Silent is trash.

>>9982185
btw can do a decent discount on those boots if u want

what's the difference between intarsia and bauhaus?

>>9975642
nigga lookin' like a high elf

>>9975679
you just saw her then, not met her.

>>9982319

Intarsia is center zip and has come in a snap-buttoned moto collar and a higher funnel neck. Features curved seaming on the chest. Ribbed knit cuffs.

Bauhaus is a straight asymmetric zip (cuts away to the right of your neck) and has almost always features zip pockets at the top sleeve. Issued in a lot of variants; mostly leather, some fabric. Sleeves have alternated between button cuffs, ribbed cuffs, and snap-buttoned cuffs. Some versions have feature a long floating back yoke.

Hi effay. I'm looking into buying my first pair of designer sneaks (I do own black Achilles lows, but I wear them mostly as work shoes around the office, I work in an industry that is young and relaxed about appearances 95% of the time, so I wanted something nice, and they work great with everything barring a suit).

How tall are regular geos? I'm worried they'll accentuate my manletnesss (5'10").

I am deciding between a pair of geos, island dunks if they are too tall, black raf Velcro highs... I'm leaning more toward geos, just worried about the overall height of the shoe at its tallest

>>9982400
thanks dude

>>9982400
how exactly did you learn all of these things / acquire all of your things? Obviously saving and a job, but I recently got my first pair of (used)geos.. (few months ago) and i want a pair of pod shorts but i cant seem to find any my size and really understand the sizing and the difference in the seasons and collections. Not to forget the price, it's definitely a lot. Is the quality worth it?

>>9982524
what's your size

>>9982531
depending on the brand my waist is 29-30

>>9982544
You are a small in pods, you could also get away with wearing xs

>>9982419

Geos are fairly tall for a pair of sneakers, but you'll look fine. Check out user's fits. He's around 5'9".

What is that strap that is usually hanging out of ricks pockets? Whatever it is I want it

>>9977500
tell me why made in ITALY means anything more than made in MOLDOVA.

>>9978934

its a fucking leather sock with a superstar sole unit/captoe

>>9982544
I might be trying to sell my pair of pods in that size. The seams are shrunken so the silhouette is a little off, would you be interested in copping for a reduced price?

>>9982663

Can't be certain. Maybe one of the wallets.

>>9981261
>Are you the guy that copped the Large one on grailed for 215? I was about to cop ;-;

yup, that was me :^) actually thought it was a bit steep, but whatever

Know this could be a stretch but does anyone know a good place to buy Rick in the Boston area? Barney's is popular but people say they have overpriced clothes that are also cheap in quality.

>>9983178

I bet this looks pretty good when the parka's unzipped.

Barney's doesn't get in some special inferior version of Rick tho, it's the same no matter where it's sold

I just turned 18 and I'm going to college next year. Would it be too weird to arrive dressed in a rick tee/jacked and geos? tbh though I'm probably gonna do it anyway .

>>9987318
No one pays attention to what you wear when you arrive, besides other people's parents. If it's the only Rick you own then I'd probably not do that

>>9987318
>Would it be too weird to arrive dressed in a rick tee/jacked and geos?
Most people just show up in whatever with their parents. That being said, the outfit you describe sounds fine.

>>9987327
>If it's the only Rick you own then I'd probably not do that
Well I don't own it yet but i'm planning to after my summer job. Do you think it could get ruined? Those pieces might be my only designer clothes until the next time I can work.

>>9987354
start slow is my suggestion - cop a drkshdw tank or two and don't buy geos before you've got trousers to wear with them

>>9987375
So what are the best geo trousers?

>>9987354
I'd say buy a jacket and MAYBE some shoes and keep saving for other stuff. You can add them to any outfit to bring them together. I don't know why it matters what you wear when you arrive to college.

>>9987354
i think you should rearrange your priorities

>>9987380
idk everybody loves memphis jeans atm but I think drkshdw cargo pants are great - they look good on most bodyweights and heights and fit well with geos

>>9987393

>>9987375
My first cop is definitely going to be the double layered tee, I've been wanting that one for almost two years now. The geo's have been on my wishlist for about a year and i'm pretty much only going to wear them with my slim fitting pants.

>>9987382
Sorry, I was mostly thinking about what I could wear at college in general, not so much the arrival.
Anyway, do you think that jacket + shoes is more important than tee + shoes? I'm going to make around 2.5k this summer so I want to make sure I buy the right stuff.

>>9987383
Well I have food, living space, and education covered so why not spend some money on something I'm interested in. What other priorities are there?

>>9987415
having a life isn't a priority? nobody cares about for strange justin beiber shoes

>>9987421
Are you trying to imply I don't have one? The only info I gave was that I'm going to be a freshman at college and that I have a job. How does that equal "no life."
