well yeah it does look good indeed. but MICHALSKY main line looks like Y-3 ??? its a totally different angel mate (www.michalsky.com) …
besides, it was featured in iD magazine, not exactly a backyard rag
but it certainly does take some time to get a brand talked about.

I agree, the investment is of course not there, but come on, the Michalsky line looks exactly like Y-3 and outside of Germany nobody is reporting or impressed. I could not even tell you one store that carries the line.

Personally I think its more interesting what he has done with MCM, who people are talking about again, new stores opening, etc. The MCM collection looks good these days.

wow,

not exactly mr.admin… the buzz in Germany is actually pretty well going for his clothing line. besides, his own brand does not seem to have the adidas-worthy war chest that is needed for a Y-3 like buzz …

Is it only me or was Michalsky cooler when he was still with adidas? Just seems like he did not manage to really generate enough buzz around his own brand.
