What jeans

Indigo over dyed black jeans from a brand called "something."

Gotta love Japanese brand names.

I wonder what Italians think of Alfani.

Anyone been to the Vogue photo exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery? Worth seeing?
I was thinking of taking a trip up to London with my wife and it might be more her cup of tea than the the Paul Strand at the V&A.

Hedi Slimane is leaving SLP.

Oh God, I can't wait to see the SLP thread implode with all the size 34R guys killing each other like it's Battle Royale.

Truly end times.

Now that he's leaving SLP, will they go back to YSL and idk, up the quality?

Surely it's an April fools prank

What Hedi did there was the greatest prank of all.

LOL

I do find it amusing (and also a little disconcerting) when Hedi admirers in the SLP thread say things like "Nah, it's perfectly fine that SLP is prohibitively expensive but questionable quality, anybody who spends $$$ on designer fashion knows it's not meant to last long"...

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Didn't he just move the whole SLP base to LA? And now he's leaving? Kind of a dick move.
It seemed like the perfect fit for him as well, maybe he'll come back a third time in a few years....

Does Chanel have a menswear collection or will Hedi be designing exclusively for women now?

 

[il_colonnello]

Was just going to say no but apparently there is Chanel menswear:

http://www.marquisoffashion.com/chanel-spring-2014-menswear/
https://www.therealreal.com/products/men/mens-outerwear/coats/chanel-linen-cashmere-coat

What's more, most of this looks as if it was actually designed by KL (in contrast to all the menswear with his own name on it).

It's not strictly false though. SLP has never sold the quality proposition particularly hard. Or really, at all. It's sold on image alone.

Polarized sunglasses worth the extra $$$?
