I'd be upset too if I'd spent thousands of £££ to look like Bieber

SLP thread is my fav place on SF, this is where you can read Hedi turned the industry around by having classic pieces he releases every collection, which is basically what we call non-runway pieces with other designers and it has been around forever but hey, don't try to talk sense to these people. Owenscorps make all their money from bold runway pieces and not from drop crotches, bib shirts and stooges leathers, like we all know.

i think I'm the only asshole who buys rick runway pieces

No, people who go to shows looking like time-travelling cyber-fisters also wear Rick runway pieces.

Every time I go into the SLP thread it's gotten more and more crazy.

The SLP thread is interesting. It reads like a SZ if SZ was populated by tweens.

Many posters on sz are basically tweens trapped in middle aged bodies anyway

I'm fairly certain you are not a teenage lesbian, so it's pretty unlikely. You should be safe.

" we lose a little bit of money on each order, but we make it up on the volume!! "

Just saw this video and it reminded me of our recent discussion about entitlement.

In other news, I just learned a new term: brick & click

I have a strange and sudden desire for some CP track shoes. Are the newer ones really uncomfortable with the thicker sole?

I don't know what are the newer ones, but I bought a pair about a year ago and they were really uncomfortable. The bulky sole just felt awkward.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Yeah that would have been the newer ones with the thicker, bulky midsole.

I would rather have $100 in revenue and $30 in margin/profit, than $200 in revenue and $20 in margin/profit  (because less % of revenue at markdown).   A smaller pie but more margin for the retailer means that it can stay in business and pay employees.  A larger pie that means digging a financial hole, will lead to the retailer closing eventually (or to Daddy to stop funding the losses like those stores Fok eluded to).

So, if there's a few bucks difference in the price we see at a small business versus one of the giga-fashion machines like Yoox/Mr Porter or Amazon/East Dane, we should keep that in mind if we want to allow an alternative to those virtual malls to continue to exist    

But would you rather do 10M sales with 5% profit, or 100k with 20%....
