I don't want Zeemon's thumbs up comment to this to go unnoticed.

Nicolas ... wants his own label ...


I would think thats what going on.

... Alex has the most press and popularity...


This is the sole reason they would choose him. And its a bad (long-term) decision. Nicolas put them back on the map and when they made him head, he was very unknown and a risky choice. Balenciaga could have done that again by looking for a talented newcomer to take over the ship, but they neither took the time nor have the balls to do so. As a result, under Wang they will at most stagnate. Its never a good deal to trade creativity for publicity.

but aren't they going out of business? all the **** will go on super sale at some point no?


There might be a big sale (there were some crazy discounts last year), but they aren't really going out of business...just closing the park & bond website and moving everything under Gilt

Mikey those are really very nice, I have a similar model (but slightly different, though same general shape) in a darker brown and love them. Durable, look good with a big range of stuff too - I've worn mine with everything from leathers and jeans, to nicer more "formal" stuff. I say get them - the price isn't terrible either. I paid a good bit less, but I'd definitely pay more for a brand new pair like those.

how do they fit? they don't have my size in stock but if I can figure out the model name i'm going to keep my eye out for them in my size.

i'm also not sure if i have pants that would look good with them. not sure they'd work with cuffed raw denim...

Anyone ever buy the same jacket twice because they liked it so much? (at the same time)
