A Maurizio Altieri (Carpe Diem) and Alessio Zero (Layer-0) collaboration.

 

 

There are 3 models (derbies, ankle and high) and 3 types of leathers used (horse, deer and lamb). All the leather has been buried and aged for 10+ years.

Each shoe seems to have aged differently, as one shoe is darker than the other. Not as noticeable under regular light.  This is a once in a lifetime project, I just couldn’t resist.

This one made me a bit uneasy. It’s fashion , a garment. Take it easy bro SISTAH Shit reads like an essay.

Hello-

I happened to chance upon your old post regarding a Julius_7 Jut Neck Jacket you had, as chance would have it, I am VERY much in the market for such a jacket! Forgive my intrusive message, but I have been searching high and low for a jacket like the one you described in your earlier posts.

I am attaching the message I sent to another member of the forum, because I want to extend the same offer to you! ANY help or counsel, I will owe you BIG.

Though I haven’t had the pleasure of making your acquaintance, I can assure you, that a favor in my book is BETTER than gold. I unfortunately suffer my cravings for the rare and esoteric in silence either because of rampant ignorance that surrounds me, or fear of judgment for my grandiose, impetuous, unquenchable zest for the best of everything in my life. I am one of the fortunate few who not only was well brought up, but is thankful (daily,) for the extreme good fortune which I have both been granted and have engendered for myself. I am demanding, discerning, dispassionately driven, and most of all, fiercely loyal and appreciative of those who believe in me and support my drive to thrive!

For your reference, my ebay user ID is exactly the same as my login name on StyleZeitgeist, (leavingoutname). I have an exemplary record, and I believe myself to be quite fair. I have done my diligence, searched high and low, and have it on good authority that your jacket is the only SZ. 4 Julius_7 jacket currently on sale on the interweb.

To be honest however, while your jacket is undeniably beautiful, the one I have really been scouring the world for is the FW09 Jut Neck in Black, Stone Grey, or Red in SZ. 3 or 4. Since it appears that you too are no wisp of a man, I had hoped you might be able to give me some guidance as where to best focus my efforts in finding my unicorn!

I really would like both jackets to be honest, and would definitely offer you a substantial finders fee either financially, or experientially for helping in my seemingly interminable quest for the Julius_7 gear I seek (I say ‘experientially’ because my family owns the largest luxury / exotic car dealership in Los Angeles, and should you help me nab my unicorn, it would be my pleasure to give you a lovely weekend here in Los Angeles as a gesture of my EXTREME gratitude.) Please excuse my forward nature, but I have already spent an inordinate amount of time diverting my energy, spirit, and passion towards tracking down the jacket of my dreams, and given that you already have your hands on a close cousin to the holy grail I seek, you appear uniquely poised to serve as a valuable guide on my grail quest. I SINCERELYtrulyDEFINITELY appreciate any guidance or counsel you may, or may not, be able to provide me as I try and learn all there is to know about Julius_7, and hopefully become a member of the tribe!!!

Cheers
