Question:
I'd never heard of this label until the guy modeling in these photos posted a few things he's selling on SuFu. It's a Swedish label that doesn't sell in the USA and we were talking about him maybe proxying a few things for me.
The prices seem pretty reasonable - the jackets in these photos would be somewhere in the $150-$200 ballpark (shipped)
Ignore the goth theme and everything from the waist down and I think the tops are pretty cool. I could see them with some together with my slim-fitting streetwear.
I just wanted to get some other opinions and see if anyone has heard of them (or a comperable brand other than Ann D.)

Answer:
ridiculous
Answer:
You'll be the best dressed guy at the Dimmu Borgir show. I don't think any of those items would look any better mixed into a streetwear wardrobe than they do combined, which is horrible. :eek:

Answer:
I am drawn to asymmetric garments, but only if their lack of balance is achieved within the confines of classical cuts, construction, and craftsmanship. It is that paradox that makes asymmetric clothes appealing to me. Armani has made some precisely cut coats, with asymmetric lines and closures. I like them. Asymmetry was popular in Ancient Greece and in Egypt; witness one shoulder gowns and togas. Classic. During 'modern' times, Christian Dior was enamored of asymmetry; his zig zag collection from 1948, reveled in uneven cuts, single sleeves, and stoles that 'grew' from one side of dresses or suits. However, these garments were precisely cut, and achieved an offbeat but clearly defined silhouette, as though they'd been carved from marble. No imprecision. Saint Laurent too, used asymmetry to large measure, in many of his collections. Take a look at this jacket. The closure is not symmetric. There's an ornamental button on a pocket, the lapels too, are not standard. But they're precisely and accurately drawn, crafted, and assembled. That's what makes the difference.
Answer:
all of it hideous, save for the jacket in the 2nd pic
i mean, FUCK, you can only do black in so many ways
Answer:
You are comparing apples and oranges, I am afraid...
Answer:
I think 2nd jacket is just fine, certainly not worse, then many other creations I have seen here so far, and I might even like the 1st jacket (more images would be helpful), although I would probably not wear it myself ; )
Answer:
i get the feeling that if one were to scour through the waywt thread, they'd see all of the dissenters above wearing gingham shirts and khakis.
i mean, good god, sometimes i feel like if it isnt something my dad would wear, it cant be appreciated here.
Answer:
I think I would like these a lot more, especially the first one, if they came in colors like charcoal or brown. They would be a lot more stylish that way, as opposed to black which gives them a bit of a "mall goth" vibe.
Still, I'd be interested to see what they might look like as part of a regular outfit... although in the end I'm not sure I'd want to drop $200 on any of these.
The last one is just hiedous though, I would describe it as "goth fashionista."
