Paris Men’s : Number (N)ine Fall 2008

Â

What Market Said: The ’90s revivial is on and popping! At the Number (N)ine show in Paris yesterday, designer Takahiro Miyashita paid homage to Kurt Cobain with a collection that was full-on grunge. Called My Own Private Portland, Miyashita gave us layers of mismatched flannels, thrift store sweaters, Elmer Fudd hats, plaid shirts, shabby knits, busted shoes, and even moccasins that took us waaay back. We’ve got pics after the jump.]

What Saynt Says: While it was inevitable that the 90’s would eventually come back to haunt us, I feel the most noteworthy aspect of this collection are the high-water pants that each of the models wore. It seems that the Thomster has had a bit of a rippling effect on the industry, and the look is translating into more everyday looks which is refreshing cause know one wants to see the ankles of pasty business types, no one.
