Just picked these beauties up at my local SL boutique. Not sure what season they are from but the ysl site showed my shop had a 40 in stock which is a size down from my normal size. Thank you to the guys who advised to size down a full size because these fit to perfection

Nice score! Those are killer. I’m still over the moon with my Chelsea suede boots in the wood color.

How did you size on them?

Full size down. I’m about a size 9 and went with a size 8(41) in these. FYI, my feet are borderline narrow.

I'm going to need to look at the show again after sleeping on it, but my initial impression was that the menswear wasn't as good as the last show's. The womenswear looked really nice though. The men's trousers appeared to have that carrot fit that Hedi employed at Celine, which I'm not a fan of at all. The huge scarves were quite nice, although may be hard to pull off (which is perhaps the point).

@SirGrotius : I'm not sure I like the gold buttons, which may give off a yachting vibe. Maybe that's what you're going for, though? What would you wear it with? Trousers, jeans? If you do get it, you must also go buy and start listening to the "Too slow to disco" compilation albums.

Agreed, while I always viewed Vaccy’s menswear at SL as diet-Hedi, this season it fit that characterization to a T. I can give him a pass since the show was predominantly a showcase of womenswear but the men’s look were pretty drab in my opinion - I’d sooner look for older SLP or Celine.

What did you think of the last menswear Vacc did? I thought it was really great.

Definitely his strongest menswear showing during the past threee years he held the title of CD at the house. I daresay it rivaled some of Hedi’s worst work at SLP (this is compliment as far as I’m concerned) and some were even better. I hope we can see another season like that one come June.

I definitely agree. I've still got to look at his latest again, and will do so this evening probably. I actually like the vibe he's trying to pull off with his menswear, but wish he'd incorporate more colors. Part of this I think is motivated by my being tired with the traditional Hedi Slimane look, especially skinny jeans. Coming at what you said in the Celine thread about that look being finished in New York, I can tell you that in flyover country every guy wears skinny jeans, it is now the standard fit for pants.

Although I do think there's a timelessness to that look, with rocker types always preferring it, I hope that it's days of mainstream acceptance are numbered. But, I must admit, being an older millennial I've got some of those Gen X prejudices against conformism in my mind, which I don't think younger millennial really care about.

Can anyone tell me what makes these SL Andy's sneakers so special and quite a bit more money than the Court Classic SL/06s and some of the other SL sneakers?

I really like the look of them though.

Just picked up the Harrington bone coat from fw13 definelty size down since it fits big. Glad I did since I normally wear a 50 in the chesterfields and got a 48

Tbh nothing really I would just get white cps or sl01s. They might be charging more just because of the panel and farfetch sometimes lists items at over retail since it should be $795

Yeah, I can see them charging more because of the “swoosh” panels on the sides. I dig the panels, but not for the extra loot. Farfetch has them listed right at $795 retail.

I recently got these and love them:

I tend to go for hand distressed, worn goods.

 

[SirGrotius]

For some reason, I really did that hand stressing on the otherwise clean sneakers. I can imagine the distressing adds $150 or so in luxury prices, but not sure why $795! I suspect it has something to do with the retailer markup?

It could be, although Fartech prices are usually discounted. I can’t find the exact model on SL.com. Closest one is this one and it’s sold out:

There are other Andy models that are more than $795 in SL.com...
