WTF

So have the Rottweilers/Dobermans become a standard print motif for the label now?

I was eager to see more of the Mapplethorpe prints. Would be interesting to see what the (in some cases homophobic) rappers and street wear kids think once they do a bit of research on the man.

Quite aggressive marketing..



For selling ripoffs.

Wy not a Rick Owens ID (like Nike) in the future, haha.

My GF sent me this link. Read closely for effect. Apparently something to do with gizoogle...? Made me laugh though.

i know everyone is clowning on saint laurent, but I stopped by the rodeo boutique today (they moved down the street).. its.. different. it kind of feels like an upscale forever 21. all the boring stuck up sales associates from the ysl days now look cool and skip around throwing stuff around left and right but with a smile. I have to say, it's kind of refreshing. the quality of garments is still questionable, but I like the vibe. they've at least got an atmosphere and a direction they are going in and I hate to say it, I kind of want in.

You want in on an upscale forever 21 vibe?

I much preferred the OG plisse detailed shiny blacks, misted white and chrome of the Hedi era NYC store with that rock vibe. A great time, but it has long passed.

i knew i would set myself up for disastor.. i just meant the store layout.. where before it was very much luxe / calm / elegant, its now very wild people running around everywhere.

the employees look fucking cool though. i spoke to a couple of guys that are in bands, hired as models to work there. its like a live action lookbook. the store has a simple, upscale rocker vibe that we expect from hedi but done the way it should be done. no one is doing that anymore and it sort of made me a little nostalgic.

I agree, there's something about what Hedi does that just makes things so damn desirable. When I go to the St. Laurent store and see the SA's I think damn I wanna be cool and dress like that and it makes me want to empty my pockets. The disconnect is the clothes themselves are pretty mundane for the price and a lot of the allure is in the vibe/photography/marketing/styling. I must say though, it's a rather intoxicating set of smoke and mirrors.

Wow.

Sounds like a bloody Abercrombie and Fitch store.

I've looked at some of the product in selfridges. It was poo. Bland, boring, uninspiring etc etc etc. Topman has a more creative range.
As for the S.A's, no skipping or smiling, just faces like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

/\ lmao. you never fail to deliver.

[QUOTE=Crowzer;426281]Wow.

For starters, is that a man?

I've always had a fascination with purses. What do people need to carry everyday that warrants the bag size they own? I always imagine someone pulling a tommy gun out of one and then fixing their lipstick with a compact after readjusting the outfit. dafuq is in THAT bag?
