I'm a fan of Rick Owens/Julius type stuff, but I find it's kind of hard to wear those sorts of stuff, especially the pieces that are essentially statement pieces (crazy jackets, stuff like that) without looking extremely edgy, like, not in a good way. I know it's not just me, either, we've all seen Rick cosplays and stuff that don't quite work.
>pic related, I guess, though the top half of the fit is pretty conventional to begin with
Yeah but a fit like that makes most people look ridiculous. Rick makes it work, but then again, he's Rick.
Kevin Lee
i think these look horrible, but maybe my taste is just to basic.
Parker Thomas
If I had to guess less than 1% of Veeky Forums knows what julius is. A reasonable portion will know who Rick Owens is but not outside the 'clownshoes' and 'dressing like a final fantasy character' jokes
Ian Rogers
besides knoch and trunks there weren't many posters into julius in the first place
Luke Ortiz
I think most people have an idea of Julius but it's just so expensive there's no point in looking any further into it
Parker Richardson
who the fuck doesn't know julius
Chase Cook
Wasn't Julius closed in 2013 or so? Remeber reading original designer left or something like that.
Connor Bailey
Julius is way cheaper than rick though. Pretty decent starting point for getting into high fashion
Bentley Ross
You're stupid. Julius is more / the same price point as Rick.
Gavin Stewart
>t. I wasn't on Veeky Forums circa 2013
Nolan Rogers
You're insane if you think Veeky Forums userbase is the same as it was 3-4 years ago
Isaac Wood
You don't know what you're talking about, Julius is cheap as fuck for the exception of some leather garments
Levi James
Remember when Julius gas mask cargos were a meme?
Carter Robinson

wrong.

pic related is techwear you moron and low top ramones are the new basic rick shoe/geomemes
Ian Gomez
i wanna buy geobiskits but i dont wana get beat up IRL
Ryder Cook
So many people forget how the Julius team basically always rips off the trendiest pieces Rick did 3 seasons before them
Logan Richardson
naw.
Nilos -- the orignal name of Julius brand was doing allthis shit back in the 90's. niggas just slept on it because it was exclusive to japan.
Hunter Bell
excuse me, NUKE. bbs is a take at RO i'll give you that but boris admits it. no biggie.
Mason Butler
Which other brands beside Julius can work/have similar style with Rick?
Jose Adams
You should probably stop buying japanese brands from western retailers julius is way cheaper than rick you retard
Brandon Rogers
Proxy sites aren't cheaper too. You save like 100-150$ max. but price is still high due to customs which can't be avoided when price of an item is so high.
Anthony Williams
Are you retarded? Get a proxy that will mark the product down Thats your first issue
Second is a apart from leather and gasmask meme pieces julius is like 60k yen max
Thirdly the second hand market for julius is nuts the ammount of pieces i have been to able to get in bnwt condition is insane
Im not into julius anymore but its always been dirt cheap adnd doubt thats changed in the last couple of years
John Williams
Is this knoch or trunks on the right? Knoch, right?
James Martinez
Hm thanks. Any particular sites besides Global Rakuten I should look at?
Cooper Stewart
Which size should I take for Julius when I wear S in Rick?
Brody Long
not the other anons but youre wrong. julius / rick is similar in price idiot shit head
Levi Martinez
Go away troll
Kevin Flores
They don't look that weird on feet
Jason Lee
wow this is a really good fit
does anyone know the pants and/or jacket?
Matthew Young
of course its knoch
Kevin Diaz
Its a shit fit for larping faggots
Guerrila group
Brandon Ross
Kind of, except when checking resellers on Grailed, Julius is generally cheaper. Though they are quite close.

I like particular Julius pieces and looks but so much of it feels like cosplay stuff to me. Huge boots and leather oiled to the point that it looks like wrinkled plastic or something. I'm fascinated by the techniques and the looks he achieves but so much Julius seems unwearable without, as op said, looking edgy in a bad way.
nah MA Julius, Tatsuro's secondary line (not really a diffusion; more like drkshdw is to rick), was closed this past year in order to launch the new line Julius Nilos mainline is still active
I've always found BBS to be more inspired by Damir Doma than Rick
Damir Doma Boris Bidjan Saberi Leon Emanuel Blanck TVA some Ria Dunn pieces
Knoch with Tatsuro Horikawa
doesn't work that way both Rick and Julius pieces are extremely variable from style to style and season to season old rick fits much smaller than new rick for instance use measurements

I the yohji yamamoto and ann demeulemeester go with rick well if u do it right

Adding to Not really 1:1, but similar dark style and some of pieces look great together. >Ann D >Alexander Wang for more casual dark pieces >CE for dressing down >Andrei Plohkov >D.Gnak

>Dgnak by Kangd >>D.Gnak This is the first time I've seen D.Gnak encouraged on Veeky Forums, the only other time was when I brought it up and people were calling them gook H&M Rick Owens ripoffs
Sebastian Hall
Quality is pretty good and price is low.
Tyler Campbell
Bbs is a straight rick rip off lmao has nothing to do with damir doma
Ryan Watson
>thread about julius inspo >circlejerk insues about Veeky Forums's userbase

Both those brands are shit
Damir hasn't been good since he sold out
Joseph Barnes
Designs are shit Designer is a hack
This is how far fa has fallen
Soon they'll be recomending greg lauren
Samuel Nelson
Julius cargos are my trouser grails
wear with a white shirt tucked in and 7-10" black leather boots for that clean, Veeky Forumscist look
Ethan Roberts
>clean, Veeky Forumscist look Looks more like an autist than a facist.
Andrew Clark
What did Rick mean by this?
Leo Lee
What's so bad about Greg Lauren?
I wouldn't wear a head-to-toe Greg Lauren outfit, but some of the pieces are pretty cool.

you can preorder the SS17 walrus version on a few websites like his own but it retails around 1k.

How do Rick's denim jackets fit? TTS or size up?
Andrew Miller
It's true that they're expensive, but as the pieces themselves, they're fine.
Kayden Ross
d gnak is a fucking hack though are you actually listening to thing fucking moron who is recommending alexander wang and cav empt?
Asher Carter
you ever look at his most iconic pieces? bbs leathers are incredibly influenced by early DD maybe you're only familiar with doma's recent stuff, which has taken a different direction
>what did you mean by this? are you implying rick was somehow ripping off julius by releasing a slim cargo pant?
overdesigned, maybe expensive because he uses a lot of rare vintage fabrics and there's lots of hand finishing to the pieces
Andrew Taylor
Oh I shouldn't have said "only other time", I didn't mean to say I was supporting D.Gnak as well.
Cav Empt is okay though as far as streetwear goes, though it's still kind of obnoxious
Caleb Gonzalez
Greg lauren apoligists please go
Ethan Robinson
I think it's shortsighted to call CE streetwear and lump it with Supreme, Stussy and other similar brands.
Noah Butler
Yeah, I'd wear some CE stuff but I avoid Supreme like the plague.
Gabriel Wood
I don't think I'm really apologizing more that I understand why he charges a lot not saying it's worth it unless you're really into his style
Austin Jones
>I think it's shortsighted to call CE streetwear But that's literally what it is, why is it 'shortsighted'? To be honest I don't udnerstand the meme that CE goes with Rick, there are like few fits people wearing rick shoes with ce shit and suddenly they are compatible as brands? CE goes as well with Rick as any hype streetwear thing, fucking techninja brands go better with Rick than CE does.
Luis Gray
>meme that CE goes with Rick I haven't really seen a lot of people post that
It can work but it (re)interprets Rick as streetwear to work, and that doesn't really bring Rick to its full potential. It's kind of like how rappers like ASAP Rocky wear Rick, it kind of takes the avant-garde power away from it.
Christopher Evans
> that doesn't really bring Rick to its full potential Literally just string of words that mean absolutely fucking nothing. What's "full potential of Rick"? Something you decide on? I'm not saying you can't wear CE with Rick but there is no synergy, you can wear H&M and Uniqlo with Rick and look great, the point is the brands are from 2 different worlds and the aesthetics and the brands are totally different. Lot of people seem to be parroting how CE works with Rick for some reason.

I bought this Julius coat recently.
Usually I try to dress low key, but the materials were fantastic and I got a 50% discount. Do you think it's too loud/autistic? Thoughts?
Brayden Rivera
>Do you think it's too loud/autistic? That's literally everything in this thread. If you can pull it off it's dope, if you can't it's the absolute worst kind of cringe, the kind of cringe you spent thousands of dollars on.
The only advice I can give is to commit to it, throwing on a single piece like that with otherwise normal clothes looks terrible. You've already thrown all normal concepts of silhouette out the window, you need to roll with it.
Lucas Edwards
>You've already thrown all normal concepts of silhouette out the window But it's a pretty standard silhouette for a thick winter wool coat IMHO. The hem is a bit wide, but so are a lot of normie parkas.
Levi Murphy
Oh and the scarf is detachable. The models shown actually wear it in a retarded angle. I wear it with the upper in a horizontal line.
Daniel Rogers
>just string of words that mean absolutely fucking nothing >there is no synergy
Pick one
Luke Powell
i'm size 42 in geobaskets. what size would i be in mainline ramones?
I wear CE with my Rick a lot of the time. Some of the more low key CE jackets and pullovers work extremely well due to muted colors and an exaggerated oversized fit that is remiscent of some DRKSHDW items. It's a really cool combiniation of brands imo.
Christopher Wood
i actually like dgnak derivative maybe but some original designs
and damir doma is mostly boring right now but the shoes and mykita collabs are still pretty cool
Alexander Evans
>i actually like dgnak Me too. Looking at ssense there's a bunch of stuff that I would buy (but probably never have the chance to wear) because it's discounted so much.
Noah Torres
You can't say that "full potential" means nothing when you're saying shit like "no synergy"
Both of them equally make sense, or are equally stupid.
Caleb Wood
Any fits/inspo of this?
Jordan Bailey
>You can't say that "full potential" means nothing when you're saying shit like "no synergy" Yes I fucking can, read the post you retard, I was criticising how the faggot posted how something doesn't 'use rick to it's full potential' which means fucking nothing when you don't define what the 'full potential' is and even then it's completely retarded thing to say because there is no defined 'full potential' that exists in the first place. No synergy just means the brands are entirely different in aesthetic, you CAN wear fucking Gucci with Rick if you want but the brands are entirely different and there is very little common ground with them.
Ryder Ward
Just wear Ramones/Techrunners with some CE meme top like every other fuccboi
Juan Barnes
The only reason why "no synergy" can even be considered an unwanted thing is that certain pieces work better in certain ways/contexts. So they have potential to do certain things, but not others. Saying "full potential" has to be defined is fucking retarded when anyone with half a brain realizes that pieces can be worn well or not well depending on the fit.
Are you retarded, or what?
Julian Parker
Man, I see your point, but it's kind of autistic to focus so much on the idea that full potential has to be this singular thing. Like, Rick's pieces are made with a purpose, for example, with ideas about avant-garde and silhouettes and so on. You can either work with that or work against that. You can disagree with it, but saying it doesn't mean anything seems kind of stupid and shortsighted. It's like both of you are saying the same point, but he just worded a little differently so you're just sperging out about it for no good reason.
Blake Gray
>So they have potential to do certain things Again, you have to fucking define what 'potential' means in the context for this kinda shit to make sense, and he was talking about "full potential" which is straight up retarded fucking thing to say. >pieces can be worn well or not well depending on the fit. That's what I'm fucking saying, you CAN wear fucking any brand with Rick and make it look okay if you are good stylist, that doesn't mean the brands you are combining Rick with have much common aesthetically with Rick, so there is no 'synergy' with the brands. 'Potential' is dumb fucking term for morons who can't properly express what they are trying to say. And read the discussion, the original use of the word was fucking retarded in every way > it (re)interprets Rick as streetwear to work, and that doesn't really bring Rick to its full potential Who the fuck defies what's the "full potential of Rick" the faggot in question is talking about 'full potential of Rick' like it's some common well known plateau that people just unconsciously sense or something. I don't know what he meant with that exactly cause he never explained what he meant with 'full potential' means in the context. It would make more sense if he talked with terms anyone can understand instead of using vague as fuck definitions that don't really mean nothing.
Dominic Gomez
Hey man, the "full potential" of a piece depends on the piece. It can work in some ways, and not others. You can look at a piece and see how it can be worn well, or style it in ways that don't. And that's because a piece has potential to work in certain ways and doesn't have potential to work in other ways. So when I said full potential, I meant recognizing what that piece was best suited to do, and wear it that way. For example, if you take a crazy avant-garde piece but wear it in a streetwear context (like a Kanye ripoff might do), you're wasting its potential. That's all I meant. You're being way more butthurt than you need to be right now.
Though seriously, >'full potential of Rick' like it's some common well known plateau that people just unconsciously sense or something makes you sound like you don't know how style pieces. If you have a piece and any kind of aesthetic "sense", as you say, then yes, you should be able to "sense" what the best way to wear that particular piece is. Or at least, a good way to wear that piece.
I think you're disagreeing with me on the idea that there's one "best" way, but that's not really what I meant, though I do maintain that certain pieces have certain potentials. Like, a Supreme hoodie just isn't a good avant-garde piece. A crazy Rick jacket is. You can, of course, style that crazy Rick jacket into a more standard looking fit (like with Lanvin pieces, for example). Even if you're making that look decent, it's a piece that had the potential to express some avant-garde tendency, but you've suppressed that. If you're going to suppress that, you're probably better off with using a piece that was meant more for that kind of non-avant-garde aesthetic in the first place. That's what I mean. You play to your strengths.
I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same thing, but you're being super autistic about the fact that I said "full" potential.
