    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

     Trend-setters wearing cheap looking clothes is indeed an interesting form of conspicuous consumption long known in sociology: Members of upper classes adopt the styles of lower classes to differentiate themselves from middle classes, who wouldn’t be caught dead in lower-class styles because...

     The leather is really fragile and tears up quickly, while the sl01 are more robust ime.

    The Definitive MANBAG Thread, Part II: 2014~

     I have a lot of Hedi era DH (2003 and onwards) and I can assure you SLP is no inferior.

    How do you clean the silk shirt? Wash or dry clean?

    The Definitive MANBAG Thread, Part II: 2014~

     I see what you're saying, and the stylistic direction is a matter of taste, of course, but I think it's safe to say Hedi has full control of the line since he has basically rebooted YSL completely, even on the distribution side since he personally redesigned all the stores across the world...

    The Definitive MANBAG Thread, Part II: 2014~

     I wouldn't say that slp is low quality. The choice of fabrics, and where they're sourced (some impeccable silks, cashmere from Scotland, denim from Japan etc) is quite different from what other brands do these days. They've released some remarkable footwear for a fashion brand, and the...

    Random fashion thoughts

     The problem with terms like cisgender is that they are a trap for people who aren't interested in, or up to speed on, the latest feminist jargon so that they can be accused of prejudice, even though they have no prejudiced bone in their body. To wrongly accuse people of joyfully...

    It seems SLP is only available in certain markets.. Less competition over the pieces for Europeans I guess :satisfied:

     Yoox has them in sz 41.. http://www.yoox.com/no/44708825CB/item?dept=men#sts=sr_men80&cod10=44708825CB&sizeId=7 Edit: seems they're sold out..

    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

    Quality wise I'd say SLP is really good. The construction and choice of fabrics is spot on for pretty much all garments I've handled (especially the more expensive suits, wool coats etc). Even the "grunge" shirts have impeccable silk lining.. The fabrics commissioned by Hedi really seem...

    True, but pretty much all SLP garments I have say "dry clean" (even their jeans), which I have of course washed without any problems.. 100% Silk, however, is a bit more unpredictable..

     Anyone? Just picked up a silk shirt myself and sure don't want to ruin it..

    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

    The sizing of SLP jeans varies somewhat between model to model. One pair I have in 32 is very tight, but another in 31 is fairly comfortable in the waist..
