Puffer Button Up Shirt
Carol Christian Poell Sample Puffer Shirt. Enigmatic artisan CCP is a revered, established designer even outside of the 'avant-garde' dark fashion circle it was originally associated with in the mid 2000's. Poell's individuality and intricate design techniques outshined and more importantly outlived visually similar labels that had more singular gritty narratives which arguably shared some aesthetic principles with CCP. The respect for the designer is well praised, ubiquitously, by creatives, critics and connoisseurs alike for his zealously conceptual approach to challenging fashion design's norms, as if the execution to said challenges came naturally to him. Growing up in leather trade and a scholar tailor, CCP is involved in every step of his design process from fabrics, to dye processing, to even the 'marketing' where he displays his work only when he deems necessary. Diffident to interviews, independent from trends, meticulous in his design approach, CCP is a master at his craft and a slave to nothing. Puffer shirt is stuffed with synthetic insulation similar to those in some puffer jackets. Mellow tangerine dyed, as with many CCP pieces, has a murkiness with beautiful dynamic color range. Cut Slim 9/10 condition. Sz 48 fits close to chest medium.$600 -

Said designs distance themselves as far away from the crude and inexactness displayed from reconstructed garments by other designers. Despite Margiela's reconstructed garments, bags and accessories are decades old and yet, still inspires creatives and designers presently, the meticulous approach to MMM's designs render them easily distinguishable from the sea of copycats.

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 -
