Hi SZ, I need help figuring out what size ccp derbies to get. I generally take a US Men's size 8.5 (8.5 in Nike (although a tad tight fitting), 265 in GATs, UK8 in doc 1460/1461).
I know the general rule for ccp shoes is to size 2 down but ccp doesn't make a size 6.5. So should I get a size 6 or 7?
probabaly a 7 and you may need to add a good insole....get measurements and work from there. Some production runs could even put you in a CCP 8 from what I have seen.(inconsistent huh?) Also the oxford tends to run really big so you may go 6 there.

Derbies run larger than most other CCP footwear. I'm US9 and CCP7 was too big for me, so you will need likely need size 6
One of those questions which probably has an obvious answer:
What defines a label (in both menswear and womenswear) as streetwear as opposed to high-fashion?
For example, what would Number (N)ine be considered? And how does the definition of either relate to diffusion and bridge lines, if at all?
to me streeetwear has much stronger connection to cultural and social aspects, music, lifestyle, and is very brand (logo) focused.. one subculture can turn a brand into a social phenomenon.. it's not as exclusive and targeting very specific audience like high fashion but it is designed for bigger less demanding audience, and when i say less demanding, it has to look cool and make you belong as opposed to what cut finish and quality of the fabric it has.. but that's just me and how i see it ;) hope it helps
I know it's been said before, but the lines seem to be more blurred now. I don't mean just in terms of the labels themselves, but how people wear them. Seems that there is a lot more mixing not just from the streetwear market mixing in high fashion, but particularly vice versa. Like a lot of the people who might have previously only worn high fashion pieces now mix with "lesser" things in the name of being on trend or having personal style. I'm wary of personal style anyways, or at least the idea that one should show originality, creativity, and personality through curated consumption rather than production.
Casey Vidalenc was two guys, I recall the label closing down and they continued seperately, the other one under "Casey Casey" and other one was Vidalenc-something..
"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."
