WHAT I WORE II


Saving the best for last...

Boris Saberi ninja-hooded super-long shirt with leather buttons and hand/cuff stays. Asymmetrical buttoning and that best part-a ninja hood(!)






Boris Bidjan Saberi- I love this designer who makes the BEST menswear in the world.  

He inspired me to start creating menswear in the first place because I couldn't afford him. (Think heart-poundingly expensive)


Boris Saberi

Saberi is German/Iranian and I think his clothes reflect his heritage. There is definitely a Persian element with his long lengths and wrapped layers.
  
He is similar to me in that he designs clothes with a 'protection' element. 

I think this shirt is just-drop-dead beautiful. The fine cotton, the length, buttons that finish mid-length. It has it all going-on.

And then there is...



Julius_7- For me, the other BEST menswear designer around. Tatsuro Horikawa creates amazing androgynous clothing that are SO sexy.


 Tatsuro Horikawa

Deconstructed designs, layered and distressed, over-dyed/ cold dyed and extra-long, muted tones and narrow shapes are his key elements.




This t-shirt combines raw and tailored edges, an unusual print and that length that I love so much.



Hey, and it goes well with my urbandon cotton/metal coat.

Thanks for sharing my passion for clothes. 

Back home in a week and time to start sewing again. 

I have a few ideas- to say the least!

Beste Grüße aus Berlin.
(Best wishes from Berlin)

PS: Any physical similarities to my favourite designers is purely coincidental.

This is wonderful. It's great to really feel your passion for clothes and it shows particularly in this post. That Ninja jacket tops my list. Wow. Patterned footless tights and a pair of sandals or boots and I'd be set! ;) Thanks for alerting us to these wonderful designers Don! You're up there with them!

I can't wait to see the things you create once you are back from your exciting travels!
That jacket/shirt is amazing. I am instantly attracted to anything with a good hood, and those handels? How cool, never seen anything like it! I wish I hung out with people with your dress sense.
