this is blind fold

true- how does that work? 

 

he gets to look around and memorise the state in the start position, then works entirely from memory.

How can your holy grail be anything drapey? A holy grail is a big deal. Dude didn't just wander around questing for anything that held wine and looked vaguely golden. He wanted the grail! singular.

Not true, it's an algorithm.  Doesnt' matter how it starts, if he keeps doing the same series of moves, he will end up with the solved cube no matter how it started.  How he knows it is done is a mystery to me though as I've never tried it myself.

 

isuck - that outfit really works for you. i agree with CHRIS. i think you wear RAF well. colour of the jacket complements the sandals perfectly

i would generally accept that, but notice the beginning of the clip with the clock already running into 30 seconds, he is not yet blindfolded but *looking at the cube* and evidently memorising? I would assume anyway.

A  it almost feels as though they were created as a joke, i am sorry.  b i just dont think they can complete any outfit...c) i am not quite sure even how they function. it looks like just a bunch of colored straps attached together to wrap around the foot, barely even covering the bottom, which afterall is what the bottom of a shoe should do, otherwise why wear it? .

A) Fashion+Levity = the best type of clothing there is.

B) I mentioned the best way to wear them was a more subdued manner than being the focal point.

C) What footwear today aside from rainboots or something sport specific (i.e. cleats) really serve a fuction aside from adornment and decoration?  Going from your house to the subway/car to work and back do we really require something that is going to "protect" and "shelter" our feet?

hey muscley arm, bringing me the good news today?

Stacking the sandals with a bunch of other Raf/Jil stuff doesn't seem like a way of subduing the fundamental weirdness of the Raf Sandals, though. The outfit you posted looks like you were trying to mimic the SS08 runway show....just stacking fashion stuff on top of yourself.

What about wearing them with a plain white t-shirt and a pair of blue shorts, something really basic like that?

true

But your shoes remind me of this.

 

Still, wear them.
 

i've always thought the best type of clothing is the kind where people don't even notice it on you. With that picture all i can see are the clothes

It's one thing to say that and another thing to do it. Yohji certainly doesn't make you disappear by any means, if that's what you're implying. If you really want to do that the only way these days would be striped button-up + khaki's + new balances. No one would look twice.

scoute.org AUGUST 08 | Paris shopping guide, Odyn Vovk....

So i went to "Kurts" exhibit yesterday! He has a atelier, a old cellar which used to be a former candlelight manufacturing transportation tunnel. Many "fucked up" rooms, treated him to give them more "patina"...here he presented the new Poell stuff, leather paper jackets put in massive stone cubes which he build himself in one room. The side zip boots in white and yellow (!) put in a row in a room which had salt acid treated walls...pretty cool.

I post this here because he allowed me to take a pic of him presenting one of the Poell boots outside and you can see what he is wearing. He is lying on the floor, covering his face and presenting the boot on his foot, which lies on his bike, which he has also treated to give it a dirty and strong look...haha, he even wants to treat his Hummer like car, does look to clean to him...

 

 

 

 

 

and here is a close up of his bike and in the back his car:)

So we nearly met ;)

I was not able to come to the exebition friday after midnight, but had the chance to see Kurt preparing the rooms for it last wednesday :))

How did you like the "show" ... lots of STRONG people in the words of Kurt ... I believe?

haha, maybe next time...niiice presentation, especially the cube he build himself, the aesthetic of the rooms match the clothes and shoes perfectly. Well there were only a few people when i was there, Sophia, the other (i guess turkish?) woman who is working sometimes for him and a couple whom i see often at his store with a friend. When i left, some persian looking people arrived (gorgoeus looking women, but theirs styles were not Kurt"like" strooooong....).

In Kurts eyes i am still way not stroooong enough...haha...too much dior which he doesnt like...but i like how he stresses the word: "Stroooong, no?"

J'AIME LA VIE

kira:

I am trying to be positive today, but i just cant with these.  I dont mean to be harsh and sorry if it comes off that way but, I just dont understand these... everyone has their own style and i am not degrading that at all.  however, just considering the things themselves, not attached to anyone, etc.  i can not even call them sandals.  people may like them, but i just really cant.  i do not find one redeeming thing about them.  it almost feels as though they were created as a joke, i am sorry.  i just dont think they can complete any outfit...i am not quite sure even how they function. it looks like just a bunch of colored straps attached together to wrap around the foot, barely even covering the bottom, which afterall is what the bottom of a shoe should do, otherwise why wear it?  seeing it as an item in the other thread i did not care for them, but now seeing them being worn it is worse for me.  sorry isuck but i just dont like it.

 

 

Does one really need to apologise 3 times when criticizing these things? They're the ugliest footwear I've ever laid my eyes on.

 

edit: I see this was covered already hehe..

Hey Mike,

What shirt is that? Is it Label Under Construction? It looks really good on you.

My "Holy Grail" items are the things you won on Yahoo! Japan which I wasn't able to bid on.

Are these the Attachment J-type sweats? I don't recall them making a J-shape jeans in that dark wash color in the spring 08 collection. Nonetheless, that setup is really dope. Nicely coordinated.
