Arghhh ! ! !
F**K ! !....the Dior Homme leather blouson is available AGAIN...Why must it reappear after i have put it behind my mind. I wanted to buy it desperately sometime ago but it was sold out before i could buy it. Now, it keeps me thinking about it again...argghhh!
An interesting poem about a Shirt
When I wore you with a tie you made me look respectable.
When I wore you with jeans you made me look nonchalant.
When I wore you with holes in the sleeve you made me look rebellious.
Now the end is near, we both know it.
If you were a tee shirt it would be easy.
I would shred you and wash the car with you, but you deserve better than that.
Instead I will continue to wear you until my wife can no longer take it.
Like all of my old underwear, she will steal you away in the night and take you to a better place.
Until then, remember, I always wore you close to my heart.

more about the first collection of KVA
Passionate about a vision of a man who takes the time to "dress up," Kris Van Assche pursues a masculinity infused with poetry and authenticity.
Balancing a nostalgic historical sense with radical modernism, he has created a distinctive, refined style of nonchalant elegance.
Van Assche’s work is characterized by attention to detail and his designs arise from a sophisticated approach that breaks away from the uniformization of sportswear.
The first collection of KrisVanAssche at Isetan, Shinjuku.

The first collection of KrisVanAssche
KrisVanAssche has always attracted me ever since his first collection in AW05. I love the simplicity with the little details. The first time i came across KVA was from a magazine, it was an article about KVA being available in Harvey Nichols. His ideas were really original with something that i have never seen it done by any other designer.
The style of KVA is always fitted top with a loose pants. In every collection of his, you will definitely see suits, pants and shirts with beautiful details. Vest and waistcoat is also a common sight in his collection.
Fake tie print
Amazing details on the suit
The the right side of the collar looks like a normal one but the left side is actually inverted
It is not a shirt with the sleeves folded up....its a shirt sleeve shirt as the way you see it
Notice the fake tie prints on the waist band of the pantsMonday, February 19, 2007
February pickup...
I've just ordered 2 tops. A Dior Homme bee embroidery polo shirt in black and a KrisVanAssche v-neck tee in black. I have always wanted to get a bee polo and i finally got one now. I have bought 2 v-neck tees from KVA previously and i love it! The cutting and material are both very good so i decided to buy another one.

Dior Homme D point belt released for SS07
The D point belt is released again for SS07. It was first released in SS05 and there were a few variations at that time. Some were decorated leather and some were canvas. Anyhow, I hope to get the leather one.
(CD-SIAC41700-N0)
Dior Homme Deville
This is the new classic duffel bag from Dior Homme but it was actually first released a few seasons back. For 2007, there are two new colours- white and silver. Made of washed lambskin with aged silver finish accessories. Comes with a wool tassel. For all previous seasons, the duffel bag and wool tassel are each sold separately.
I think this bag is not practical at all although it look nice. You can't keep any files or anything like this in the bag. No matter what, this bag is still the most sought after bag among DH fans...(except me)

Dior Homme A/W 2007
The fashion show was held 2 days ago...I was prepared for the worst but it turned out fine. Personally, i think it is much better than S/S07 although i don't find any pieces significantly nice. At least the clothes from this season are more wearable and not andro in any way. The extra-long sleeve certainly does not appeal to me and the boots are very very ugly indeed( they are too fat and wide). It doesn't look good at all with the clothes. Well, i do find some pieces interesting....have to see them in real though...
Slim and short leather jacket. Military jackets with epaulets, looking similarly to the napoleon jacket. A few tops are quite nice but i wonder if they are t-shirts or knits...Well well well....lets just wait for better pictures...
