I think the consensus is that it's too staid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/albert-makali---any-opinions-on-this-designer#post-698990 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 23:32:47 +0000 Vildy 698990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a piece that I got rid of only because it was so remarkable that I didn't want that much attention. It wasn't loud at all. It was a beautifully made longer length jacket in an embossed cotton that was very much like an Escher painting in shades of grey and white. An amazing small geometric piece. I was impressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/albert-makali---any-opinions-on-this-designer#post-698948 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 22:34:04 +0000 Chippy Mia 698948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen his label around but haven't really looked into his clothing. I don't think you should based quality on the label content/construction only. Best way to judge if an item is high quality and is worth the high price is to look at the seams, the buttons/zippers/ closure, the fabric content, orientation of the fabric grain on the garment, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/albert-makali---any-opinions-on-this-designer#post-698937 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 22:16:28 +0000 catgirl 698937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>His stuff is really expensive - some a bit OTT and spangly for my taste, some very Custo Barcelona like coolness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/albert-makali---any-opinions-on-this-designer#post-698920 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 22:03:26 +0000 nancylee 698920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Makali tops are high quality. I don't own any of this brand, but I've seen them for sale at better stores like Nordstrom and Saks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/albert-makali---any-opinions-on-this-designer#post-698918 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 22:02:17 +0000 ironkurtin 698918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Snagged a top by Makali at the Rack, and am wondering on the general quality opinion of the designer. It has a rubber/plastic size label, which is usually a sign to me that it's not a great piece. But I could be wrong? </p>
