That Stefano Gabbana doubled down on stupid should, at this point, surprise nobody. He should probably be sequestered in a black box and have the only communication between him and the outside world be in the form of gowns.

Also, "my account was hacked" is shorthand for "I know that ******** up but am not ready to admit it or apologize for it yet."

"My account was hacked" is the corporate version of "sorry my friends took my phone i didnt say any of that."

With Net-a-porter dropping them, I'm wondering what the future of the brand is going to be.

x-post from another thread. Shopping at J Crew halted. Too many 40% off deals crashed the system?

At TF price range I would just get John Lobbs

Different aesthetic, their shoes do go on sale, so probably can be had for 40% off if you try hard enough? That would put them a bit below $1k?

My wife was trying to buy off jcrew first thing this morning. Site has been down for over 5 hours now. How is that even possible for a company that size?

 

[dieworkwear]

J Crew posted something racist and had to pretend they got hacked.

Damn an e-commerce website being down for 5 hours is pretty bad esp on Black Friday.

Side note amazon warehouse employees walked out.

My favorite is their statement that their legal team was looking into the matter. I'm excited to meet the members of this crack investigative team.

In the same news, whoever directed their apology should probably be fired on the spot:

It looks like a coerced confession. They look like they were trotted out of some prison and made to read from a script.

smh jerry seinfeld says visvim voyageur moc-folks are ugly

TBH, it's a model I'm not so hot on either. The UTE Moc Trainer I like, but the Voyageur, meh.

The N. Hoolywood G-shock. Not bad, but not that special either. My grail G-shock I think is one of the Eric Clapton ones:

Philipp Plein, this is some mindbending ****, who is this targeted for? Mid-level east european gangsters?
