What is your "holy grail" item of clothing?

[endtroducing]

this vest from dior; i've only seen it once on yahoo auctions, and it was in size 42P

WOW. Amazing piece.

i didnt realize that albert. maybe they displayed it all but only a few pieces from the collection were for sale
was told from a friend who shops there alot and knows the guys pretty well
btw how much were the bags ?
would be amazing id aitor stuff turned up in the good finds thread

I tried to find the e-mail but I must have deleted it :(

Definitely on the high side, like Merz said, it's quite possible that only a few were offered for sale. I didn't go to the store myself, but had a friend pop in and get prices/availability at that time.

A skull bag hit ebay? Daaaaaaamn

How much did it set him back / where did he pick it up if you don't mind?

I stand corrected on what I reported earlier. The SI/Aitor down parka is 2k and a bit of change at Barneys and is not on sale.

Pretty obvious, but mine has been the Rick Owens Funnel Neck for quite some time.



Everything about it is so wonderful. I'm going to go try it on again today, just because I love it so much.. And the back pocket is so functional! It's a perfect reason to get it.

I know I'll probably be moved down three pegs in the SZ annals of Honor for this, but do you REALLY want to know what would be my "holy grail" piece? It's one of those full-length crocodile trenches with a sable fur collar that Valentino puts out every few years. You know, the ones that nobody except Andre Leon-Talley can actually wear and that cost more than a year of schooling at Harvard. The last one I recall saying, "WOW!" over was back in A/W 05 (I think that was the season... anyway, it was the Valentino "air lines" collection).

I just think that's the sort of garment that you could "Wear this... and die." Where else could you go after a coat like that? :)

here's one to add to your list: a Rick Owens ankle-length black python trenchcoat. not certain what collection it's from, but it is breathtaking.

John, SZ respects pimping. Would you really wear it or do you admire it more as an object?

Knowing what a single python skin costs and really just how little usable material you get out of one, I can only imagine what that coat costs.... although inevitably it'll be less than the inducing pricing of a Hermes leather jacket in croc.

Oh, definitely it would be more admiring than actually wearing; it wouldn't fit at all with my wardrobe, but there is just something so very tactile about crocodile and sable and especially when it's done in a very classical medium and color (like a dar brown trench, or a black or oxblood full-length coat) that makes me feel like I ought to TRY to find occasions to make it work.

Nevertheless, it's about number 48 out of a list of 50 things I really need to purchase, just after "house in the Maldives" and just before "Maserati Convertible." haha
