thats prolly a good call. I judge her by my standards doubt she would appreciate or differentiate between something from comme des garcons or debenhams. Cheers.

That said, i like alot of the wallets on the comme site but it really sucks that there arent any pictures of the interior, thats pretty crucial with a wallet id of thought.

L.K Bennett is good for stuff like that…Not sure about pricing.

The CDG wallet in DSM is rather tasty though, friend of mine got it recently but 99% of the population wouldnt know any difference.

Also has anyone ever done any work experience with any fashion/other mags? Worthwhile? Fun?

i've did work experience with dazed and confused ages ago now, was really great, but think i only got it through knowing someone that was working there.

Definately a really really fun career path, but also really really hard to get into, very competitive and cliquey. If you seriously want to do it, start your own blog now, get as much work experience as you can, really try everything to make contacts and have a portfolio. seems a really fun life if you can get into it.

What one were you looking at? I've got a couple of Comme wallets and my sister and ex have them too so I might be able to give you an idea of what the inside looks like

Hmm that's odd, all of the others in that size 225 x 135 are well over £100, the plain ones are £157

And the reptile ones are usually the most expensive, a pricing error maybe? That picture looks more like the smallest one that my sister has

Hiroshi Fujiwara & Soph frontman Hirofumi Kiyonaga are bringing out a new clothing line called Uniform Experiment.

Rich, it sounds perfect for you… its basically just suits!

http://www.honeyee.com/think/2007/ue/index.html


"── To sum up, the kids who loved and supported the culture and styles advocated by Hiroshi Fujiwara have now grown up and are wearing suits. So they needed a clothing line that fits an “adult lifestyle,” and you've decided to make the business gear for them."

Also sounds good for Milspex, now that he wants to stop wearing streetwear Sticking out tongue
