Corpus S/S09 Collection

[Gavin]

Curious to see if anyone has any thoughts on the Corpus S/S '09 collection:

I could go for most of this stuff. Looking pretty good.

I've always been a fan of this particular color palette.

I think I'll try my own version of this look with the plaid tie and woven belt this summer:

 

[XenoX101]

that shirt fits superbly and I love the collar, as does a lot of the stuff in this collection. I think all of this would look great as 'expensive basics' if that makes sense.

I'm so glad they have moved away from some of the more out-there designs they were showing in '07-'08. I think that collection looks awesome, very wearable in places other than LA. I'm really looking forward to what sort of denim they are showing, I've always liked their jeans. While I agree on the "expensive basics" idea, this collection truly looks like a poor(er) man's Rag & Bone (which is good, as I love RB, but right now am that poorer man).

Quality and pricing will make or break this, and based on the shirt I have from last season, I'm not optimistic.

Unless it's reasonably priced, there's no reason you can't just go to Uniqlo or H&M for this sort of thing. (Though I do like the styling with the spectator shoes)

I'm liking the saddle shoes.

 

[constant struggle]

looks a lot better than last years stuff

 

[XenoX101]

Rag & Bone's last season was a joke, can't comment on the rest, haven't seen.

 

[Epaulet]

Very nice. I love me some cutaway collars.

 

[willy cheesesteak]

I like this.

 

[toothsomesound]

^Probably the best look in the collection.

I dunno, doesn't do a whole lot for me, though I would like to see the stuff in person, I just constantly hear how the quality isn't up to par, but people say the same thing about Opening Ceremony which I like a lot when on sale so...Hopefully prices took a hit this season.

reminds me of rogues Gallery but not so dark.

 

[somethingclever]

All of it's really basic, but still pretty good. I see a few things in there I'll be putting on my shopping list.
