SS07 “We Look Good Together” Shirred Silver Bomber
Dior Homme by Hedi Slimane SS07 "We Look Good Together" Shirred Silver Bomber. For this season, Dior commissioned the band Littl'ans for the runway track of the same title. SS07 continued the reign of Hedi at Dior with bold pieces like the hooded sweat boleros and flared semi-Aline coat. Hedi played with the use of metallic silver in padded, bib collar bombers and jackets which polarized the signature monochromatic looks. Runway jacket features a metallic silver fabric shirred sporadically throughout the bomber. Shirring is a technique which gathers pleated fabric and pinches it together as seen to decorate sleeves and bodices of victorian dresses. Hedi applied this technique on the runway, like this bomber and off to embellish his denim fades. 9/10 condition. Size 44, fits long in arms, but stacks, can fit 46.$500 -

SS06 “Icaris Surgit” Long Weave Top
Raf Simons SS06 "Icaris Surgit" Long Weave Top. Simons throughout his golden decade never really had a consistent trajectory when it comes to his creative narrative, but yet managed to excel at every corner he touched. At the near end of his aggressive, youth inspired era which derived strong motifs from the awkward menace of adolescence, Raf Simons's "Icaris Surgit" drew inspiration from Greek mythological figure Icarus. Fabrics were light, airy and swayed with the lightest touch of wind. Sheer, laser-cut and thin cloths were cut into large silhouettes and oversized cummerbund pants. Footwear was shaped and worked into strapped messes resembling gladiator sandals. SS06 was the start of Raf's technical prowess and continued such endeavors throughout the remainder of the decade. Top is a three tier design with two of the three tiers emulating a crotched weave. Intricate detailing of colours are weaved into the mix. Size 44, but fits very oversized. 9/10 condition. Can be layered over other tops.$500 -

SS06 Reconstructed Cargo Jacket
Maison Margiela SS06 Reconstructed Cargo Waist Jacket. SS06 is a strong highlight for MMM10 featuring military cuts drawn from classic fabrics such as cotton twill in muted colours. Reconstructed cargo pockets, repurposed zipper chains, and utilitarian accents are well seen throughout the season and all serve as a strong influence to current day military-style romanticization. Jacket features four reconstructed pockets in the front, with a vintage muave fade giving each pocket some contrast. RiRi zippers for both the zipper mid chain and zipper pockets. Upper waist fit. 7/10 developed more fading. Neck tag has been removed but stored in pocket. Size 44 fits a bit bigger.$300 -
FW05 “History of My World” All Shadows Hoodie
Raf Simons FW05 "History of My World" All Shadows Hoodie. Despite the runway being absent of the highly sought after graphics for this season, Simons looked to revisit his personal milestones in his past for the two part FW2005 collection. Raf's display to his connection to music is undoubtedly the primer to his most compelling garments. FW05 was one of the last displays of such meaning, departing from such endeavors and focusing more so on modernist, sleek cuts inspired by euro subcultures. Graphics throughout this season were labeled with cryptic lyrics from The Cure, graphics inspired by the 1982 film "Poltergeist", and even a few references to experimental musician John Cage. The hoodies, tees and sweaters were massive and overwhelming, patched with what looks like a collage of Raf's personal visual displays, with the help of peter de potter, of his inspirations and nostalgia. Just like the old days Caressing an old man And painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance Under a black flag A hundred years of blood Crimson 8/10 condition. Size 46, fits massive.$2,400 -

SS09 Gradient Stitch Confetti Belt
Raf Simons SS09 Gradient Stitch Confetti Belt. In SS09 Simons continued his shift towards redefining sartorial silhouettes with precise slim cuts and technical fabrics. With the few collections before the turn of the decade, Simons displayed his technical prowess on the runway with intricate weaves and material compositions similar to the gradient design shown here. Cotton belt is made up of hundreds of colorful stitches, resembling something like confetti, which gradually diminish towards the end of the belt. Incredibly detailed, vibrant belt. "RS" logo on the metal buckle. 9/10 condition. One Size$330 -
FW07 “Navigate” Taupe Lamb Leather Jacket
Hedi Slimane's last collection for Dior, FW07 "Navigate" Lambskin Leather Jacket in a taupe colourway. Hedi Slimane weaved his Dior designs with music, but unlike other designers takes on a passive visual approach, taking motifs from his photography or whichever musician he at the time fancies. "Fashion = music + youth + sex", Hedi's personal declaration doesn't come short in this collection as he commissions English music group "These New Purtians" for "Navigate, Navigate" which ran through the entirely of the campaign. Models sported drop crotch loose pants, militant boots and jackets, tweed blazers with Pollock like graphics with all looks accompanied with over-extended sleeves. Supple leather jacket features paneled geometric detailing, extended sleeves and fully lined in cupro in the sleeves and viscose in the body. Lampo zipper with button clasp concealing placket. 8/10 condition. Mild marks on cuffs, creasing in collar area, relatively well kept and maintained. Leather is smooth and supple.

IM x Murakami “Flower of Joy” Tee
Issey Miyake Tee with graphics by Takashi Murakami. From the Issey Miyake Mens collection released in ~SS1999-2000 entitled “Smoothed Edges.” Within this collection Issey and Takashi experimented with pre-shrunken silhouettes, giving the graphics a visibly worn texture. Takashi’s infamous character motifs, such as the “Flower of Joy,” serve as the focal point of this collaboration. This is one of the earliest Murakami collaborations with any designer or artist making these tees rather difficult to find.
8/10 condition. Fits a slim M -
FW05 “The High Streets” Hybrid Cargos
Number (N)ine by Takahiro Miyashita FW05 "The High Streets" Black on Black Hybrids Cargos. In FW05 Miyashita sought out to bring life to grunge on the runway later resulting in being one of Number (N)ine's most recognized seasons. "The High Streets" consisted of cut and repurposed fabric sewn into garments which resemble 90s grunge-rock aesthetic. Models wore tight bandanas over their foreheads, with mixed reconstructed flannels throughout each look, native tassel suede bags, and the album "Bleach" by Nirvana blasting overhead the catwalk. This is a size 5. Size 5s are incredibly scarce and are highly sought after as Number (N)ine runs rather small. 9/10 condition. Fits a 31-35$2,800 -
SS15 Rope Embroidered Reversible Bomber
Dries Van Noten SS15 Rope Embroidered Reversible Bomber. SS15 featured a New Deal muralist Richard Haines collaboration, half chest vests and floral rope embroidery. Models were fitted with silk or viscose shirts tucked under the 1st rendition of the signature cummerbund sweatpants. The jacket here is possibly the finest example of Dries Van Noten's iconic reversible bombers, sported with intricate all over rope embroidery in a marigold, black, and teal colourway. Incredible amount of detail a viewer can get lost in. Reversible into a covert cotton navy side to dampen the wearer's visual presence when need be. Riri reversible zipper. 9/10 condition. Neck tag is loose. Size 48, should fit a medium. Jacket sits firmly at waist.$1,250 -
Fw01 “Riot Riot Riot” Skirted Camo Bomber
Raf Simons Fw01 "Riot Riot Riot" Skirted Camo Bomber. As Raf's garments become more and more coveted, only circulating in the tucked away collector's marketplace, it becomes harder to document the pieces that actually hold historical and aesthetic significance as they become harder to come in hand. Held at an abandoned warehouse in Paris, fog machines spewing smoke, Aphex Twin blaring overhead was Raf's most influential and iconic runway: FW01 "Riot! Riot! Riot!", dedicated to isolated hero Richey Edwards from the Manic Street Preachers. Models were coded in black, grey, olive and muddy colours, completely covered in scarves, outerwear, baggy pants, oversized everything. This was a massive turn for Raf, as his previous collections consisted of sartorial, slim, finely cut and precisely designed garments which were influenced by upperclass youth. Undoubtedly influential to current day designers, but mostly ignored by the hoi polloi at its time. “At the flea market in Vienna, I saw youngsters from the Ukraine or Romania, who simply lay layer by layer and thus create their own volumes because of the cold,” Neue Zürcher Zeitung Raf captured the ethos of iconoclasm with this season. The runway was filled with large silhouettes of intense layering and wreaked of radicalism. Each look represented a slice of opposition, more specifically from the youth. This collection also happened to be shown a bit before the 9/11 attacks, but is believed to be more of a quiet observation of racial tensions and political turmoil in northern Europe at the time. Skirted bomber is actually a repurposed surplus military bomber with a detachable skirt made with thick double layered cotton. Faded and meant to look worn. First look that walked the catwalk. 8/10 condition. One Size, Fits S-XL.$8,350 -

90s ‘Creation of Adam’ Printed Knit Cardigan
Jean Paul Gaultier mid 90's mainline 'Creation of Adam' Printed Knit Cardigan. JPG in the mid 90s explored the application of renaissance era graphics on his signature 'tattoo tees' and knits. This knit features an odd juxtaposition of a noir tech-punk chest graphic complemented by Michael Angelo's "Creation of Adam" painting on the back, arms and reversible inside. Painting's graphic is applied directly on the knit while the tech, 'horned man', motif is printed on a fabric which is sewn over the knit base. JPG, a strong pioneer of unisex clothing, has a "Maille" line, outside of "Maille Femme", which features mainline knits able to be comfortably worn by both men and women. As JPG ripened in the late 90's he pulled away from the "Enfant Terrible" and started to hone his eccentric creative direction into something more full and bright, but sound and percise. This eventually led his journey to Hermes succeeding Margiela's years at the house. 9/10 condition, a very mild mothhole in the shoulderblade. Size L, fits loosely a mens M-L, XL fitted.$510 -
FW09 Layered Silk Jacquard Blazer
Number (N)ine FW09 Layered Silk Floral Jacquard Light Jacket. FW09 was the magnus opus for Takahiro Miyashita as he exited N(N) -- what his fans thought was his permanent departure from his creative aspirations. The collection featured 18th and 19th century influences with intricate tailoring and masterful craftsmanship. One of the more costly collections, Miyashita's FW09 creations featured layered pattern silk for lining, embossed floral designs and velvet appliques. This is the most detailed version of the jacket featuring an embossed floral design throughout the silk outer with the silk floral lining extending from the edges of the jacket.
Continuing the interview with Takahiro Miyashita, the focus shifts towards the stylist of Number (N)ine: Hirishi Noguchi. Long term N(N) stylist chimed in on Miyashita's outlook with the brand stating that "Miyashita wasn't partial to the brand since 2007". This occurred after his 2006 "Axl Rose" collection which Miyashita debuted as a "joke", but the audience's reaction was too stern for the designer, leaving him disappointed. He was expecting Miyashita to step down from Number (N)ine since fall of last year so it didn't come to a surprise when the announcement came 08 of January. Noguchi then knew that the following collections were purely out of the designer's creative aspirations with little interest in monetary return. The interview closed with Noguchi stating that he sat back, understood the path that Miyashita was taking and simply "watched him run".
New with tags. Has the maxfield tag still attached for "$3800". Size 0 fits xs.

FW09 Wool/Silk Jacket
Number (N)ine by Takahiro Miyashita Wool/Silk Jacket in black. FW09, named by Miyashita as "The B side to my final 'album'", was his final show for Number (N)ine. At at interview with WWD magazine in 2008, Miyashita spoke about the current state of affairs with the brand and reminisced about N(N)'s past. Takahiro professed that in SS09, the "A Side", he ignored the financial constraints for his collections and solely focused on "what he wanted to do". He later admitted in the interview that the collection didn't put monetary returns as a priority and continued to apply the same practice in his final collection. WWD followed up with a question regarding the vendors which rely on Number (N)ine as a strong basis of income and raised concern that said vendors will run into obstacles finding new brands when they relied on N(N) as a part of their store identity. Takahiro replied by simply saying that vendors should understand "when a band has done everything it has to go". The interview will continue with the next item Wool outer, silk lining. Tassels string button and styled like other blazer within the season. This is one of the more understated blazers of the season. 9/10 condition. Rare Size 5. Fits a large well.$520 -

FW09 Silk Jacquard Blazer

Artisanal 00-02 Dark Livid Painted Denim
Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal "010" 00-02 Dark Livid Painted Denim. Object painted garments are early Margiela designs which later were engrained as key motifs to Margiela's foundations. Dyed pants, shirts, and jackets today are a repetition in part of tradition to Margiela's original designs such as the artisanal pants here. Although current day painted garments are quickly pushed through a production line, artisanal pieces are hand painted on carefully curated vintage levis denim by the Margiela team thus making them very limited in quantity. Mens painted artisanal pieces throughout the early 2000's were applied with a myriad of colours and paint compositions; Some the paint chipped away as the item was worn, others were more solid but didn't reflect light, a few were merely just clear coats with little colour added. Dark livid, or a desaturated blue grey, painted denim. Features a thick sheen added which makes the pants almost look like leather. Understated colour, however applied thick, which blocks the true colour of the jeans underneath. Paint is robust and will take longer to degrade. 8/10 condition, some distressing may be part of the original jeans. Repaired minor crotch blow out. Size M fits a roomy 31. Straight leg. Unhemmed.$600 -

SS03 “Consumed” Penelope Tree Shark Hoodie
"There are three reasons to come to Paris: Hedi Slimane of Dior, Tom Ford of Yves Saint Laurent and Helmut Lang. Actually, there is a fourth -- Raf Simons, who in a parking garage on Sunday night -- on a platform made of crushed soda cans -- superbly articulated how contemporary culture has become a thoughtless Pac-Man, gobbling up products as well as references. It's rare for a designer to make a political statement in fashion and still offer wearable clothes" -- Cathy Horyn 2002 Raf Simons SS03 "Consumed" Penelope Tree Shark Hoodie in blue over black. SS03 "Consumed" is Raf's quiet observation of consumerism, or to be "consumed" by consumerism -- Its effects on youth; Their impartial interaction with such commercial entities and the molding of adolescent identities rooting from the collective indifference towards the squandering influence of commercial identities. This is the iconic and highly sought after hooded sweatshirt featuring Penelope Tree, from Truman Capote's Black & White ball, and Steven Spielberg's mechanical shark from Jaws in the backdrop, with "Diamond Co-Opted" written underneath the kangaroo pocket. The Penelope Tree print featured here on the hoodie derives from a picture which served as a pivotal point in fashion, youth culture and high society America. The original black and white picture has beanpole figured Tree staring dauntingly out in the distance from amongst a group of middle age socialites. This grabbed the attention of prominent figures of fashion and despite strong opposition from Penelope's father, as she was 16, Penelope Tree became the quintessential swinging sixties icon which galvanized female youth culture and movements at the time. Furthermore, inspired a generation of artists and designers to look at youth culture for inspiration and solidified the Youthquake movement. As for Raf Simons, and this is purely out of speculation, Penelope Tree holds a special place of interest as his source of inspiration will be and has been the youth.$1 -

“JPG” Utility Bondage Pants
"JPG" by Jean Paul Gaultier Utility Bondage Pants in black/grey. Jean Paul Gaultier may need some reintroduction as much of his work seems to be overlooked by modern men's fashion enthusiasts despite his massive contribution to men's & unisex fashion. Gaultier has zero formal training or schooling in tailoring but apprenticed under his grandmother which led him to be Pierre Cardin's assistant in the 70's, then soon after released his solo collection in '76 captivating the voice of what French critics call the "Enfant Terrible" movement. JPG is a pioneer, along with Westwood, of high fashion appropriating youth street culture and garments on the catwalk. 1985, at the peak of Gaultier's reign, came the signature man-skirts and sailor pants. Models were typically younger or older than conventional models, sometimes riddled with tattoos or body modifications. Some models were rather androgynous which displayed JPG's unisex garments fittingly, a catalyst to the JPG by Gaultier unisex line in the 90's. Finally, in recent years and his final project outside of his own label is receiving the baton from Margiela at Hermes, heading the house from 03-10. Buckled multi material black pants with suspended pockets. Multiple utility cargo pockets. Adjustable waist buckle and drawstring. Ankle Zips. 8/10 condition but missing the back buckle as it was a walking constraint to the wearer. Fits a W32$500 -
