    it's pretty obvious that the musical notes are so the chinese market can buy in to the most obvious and literal signifiers and iconography of americanized rock and roll aesthetic. slp is a purely commercial venture at this point, even more so now that hedi is not around to guide the retail...

    maybe worded that poorly, not balmain. i just meant you'll be excited unless you only loved slp for the hyped up ****** pieces which i imagine won't be repeated at another house - which, tbh, is a lot of people on here

    all i'm saying is i've heard some rumors from some well placed sources about him leaving long before the first news story broke, and those sources also told me where he's gonna go next. you guys won't be disappointed, unless you REALLY loved biker jeans and gross high tops.

    I would imagine it does to keep proportion, just as the hem on the 15.5cms isn't always 15.5cm depending on size.

    just do what i did and get them tailored and hemmed. there's really no reason not to get something tailored to fit you, especially when you are dropping that much on a piece.

    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

    tbh kind of over slp. i go to parties and see slp models / musicians / the type of people hedi photographs in all vintage clothing and i feel like a bit of a poseur in my full slp outfits. it's gotten to a point where i have 20+ slp pieces and i look at it all and think, was this really worth...

    Buy from Net-a-Porter or Mr Porter, which both have great return policies, or measure yourself against the online measurements and see if they match up.

    The rebranding is to stay. The ready to wear line will be called Saint Laurent Paris, but the house and the couture line is known as Yves Saint Laurent, hence why some polos and bags still have the old YSL logo. The fragrances and make up are licensed out and are not part of Saint Laurent, and...

    The noise from the SL01H goes away when you wear it more. It's just the leather breaking in.

    Not a huge fan, looks loose and unstructured on you, and the shoulders look a little small. Is it possible to just get a smaller size for the SLP one?
