That housing estate looks amazing. Is it fully gentrified out and filled with Our Legacy wearing Architect archetypes?

Its about 90% of the way there yeah - lots of stuff like this now

Uniqlo doing some really cool stuff with helmut lang/plokhov this season.

big fan of the bomber and the shorts (if they're actually as short as they look), poncho is also really neat

My grailed wardrobe is basically all of the HL outerwear on grailed right now, so this is very cool. In the market for a new zip-up hoodie type item after irreversibly trashing my gap zip.

[bels]

Could it be?

After so many had lost hope?

A collab??!?!?

Oh it's just... sweats.

Cool I guess. Wonder how it'll compare with H&M x Alex Wang

[ramseames]

i like the kangaroo pocket sweatskirt but other than that this is pretty much all forgettable.

if you need a hoodie for $40 you could do a lot worse than a couple of those tho

[bels]

Muji Labo stuff we saw yesterday was pretty great. No idea why they don't stock it more widely or have a functional website?

[pirxthepilot]

this is the stuff designed by margaret howell, right? a lot was on sale at the carnaby st store in london early summer. it looked really good, i wanted some of the trousers but still can't work out how to wear 9" hems

[rublev]

lol, okay....

it's an interesting question, i mean everyone in fashion/art rips off everyone else- that's what flintstone is, right? but it's only distasteful (to me and, i presume, others here) when a big conglomerate lifts from a small(er) independent. you can't escape from that question of power.
recent examples off the top of my head: karl lagerfeld/ new balance, marina abramovic/mary carroll

thoughts on this? H&M

[Ques]

even if h&m has a nice design the shirt material is usually so scratchy (maybe i'm overly sensitive?) that it still isn't worth it to me, in past experience

also i'm not really a fan of that collar at all

[venilla]

some items from +j are coming back apparently?
http://www.complex.com/style/2014/09/un ... inter-2014


i'll probably wait for the stuff to hit stores first to compare the quality to the +j stuff i have

[bels]

I can't believe I ever doubted. I'm so sorry

[can-]

i sized down on that reversible vest last time, time to put things right

[hoodoo-operator]

Now I have a reason to go to the opening of the Philly store. I'll probably just buy a white slim fit shirt because I need one and I'm on a semi cop freeze, but I'm digging all that outerwear, particularly the vest. The suiting is neat too, and I like the turtleneck.

We're getting it a week early in Philly, I may try to snap a few pics of the stuff I try on, maybe including the Helmut Lang sweats.

[nick]

I'll certainly pick up the vest, but I get the impression the rest will be too tailored for my body type/style. How much slimmer everything than normal qlo?

[can-]

uniqlo cuts have slimmed up so much in the last few years you can probably wear your normal size

jun and uniqlo playing games with our hearts

[vgtbls]

Maybe I can swing a kid's XXL

[nick]

Stopped by H&M yesterday in a desperate search to get quick fix of casual pants while I get my cash game up, and was reminded why I hate the store -
BUT - I did find these suprisingly tacticool cargoes that I would totally recommend! Actually really neat stuff for a super affordable $30. Styled with Uniqlo flannel for fast fashion synergy

[rublev]

Zara oversized padded parka



Zara wool elasticated trousers

look quite cool but quality will be dire

some new things from COS



raw-cut unlined wool top with shoulder zip / zip up chelsea boots



knit in lightweight wool with a soft felted texture / salt and pepper wool trousers

[bels]

Don't trust any cos shoes tbh. cept for the slip ons they're doing. They look nice.

[maj]

can confirm had a set of cos boots but after about 10 wears i kind of wished they weren't and stopped wearing because the creases looked a bit shite. were side zip stuff.

For those who were interested, Uniqlo x Plokhov is launching Thursday, not today. #vaporware

[stappard_]

yowch, the +J stuff is flying out. Loads of sizes gone in the good stuff after 45 minutes

[rublev]

idk i guess if i needed some smart stuff i'd maybe cop but i find it difficult to get excited about cardigans, button down shirts and chester coats. i've never handled the stuff though... is the quality really good?

the vest is cool i guess.

[rublev]

also fleece looks like it's coming back this winter...





nice

hope they do something different in the mens like the womens last year, i remember sweats and a few other things in the same fabric which looked cool
