Hi, could someone give me a quick LC on these SS15 jeans?

^I'd do a google search of the code on the tag to get an idea if they're legit.

Couple of things: First, I might be dumb, but is there any way to look at all the photos of the spring summer collection? you can see them sometimes if you click on a particular item, like this horrible shirt for example:

Also, how cool is it that legend Diana Ross is the face of the latest campaign?

Probably those looks are not ready yet, they will post them eventually. Or check out Vogue runway app.

BTW, one question for all - do women sneakers have the same sizing as mens in EU nomenclature, i.e. is Andy 41 the same for men and women? They have a different sizing in UK and US numbers.

SL/06 that I've got fit me well, but appears a bit too long, and that brought me into a rabbit hole of proper shoe sizing. Apparently, majority of shoes from different companies fit true to size, but they use different scales, and obscure conversion methods, therefore making its very difficult to compare the fit.

In order to find a proper fit one should measure the foot in CM, and than see where shoes are produced and what is a primary sizing scale company using. YSL shoes are measured by EU standard, with 2/3cm difference between sizes, 1/3cm being a difference between half sizes. Japanese and Korean 'centimeters' are not actual centimetres, but just a rounded scale, as well as some other brands indicate a last length on a label instead of a foot length. So, to get your correct YSL size you should go to EU ISO sizing standard, measure your foot and find a proper number. UK and US sizes are completely irrelevant and a just rounded conversions.

Ao, lets say you are wearing size 10.5 US in Nike, Nike is TTS according to Brannock, which corresponds to 275mm foot and size 43 EU in YSL boots according to ISO standard, while Nike scale would show incorrect 44.5 EU, and if you look up 10.5 US in YSL table it corresponds to 43.5 EU, which can be slightly too big. Adidas has primary US sizing as well, and its EU size is irrelevant.

US full size increment is 1/3 of an inch = approx. 0.85 cm.

I purchased 2pair of saint laurent wyatt black suede 30cm one in size 39 and one in size 40
(because of the sizing issue)after I received size size 39 wyatt when already I received size 40 about a month ago I noticed that size 39 wyatt saint laurent box is slightly smaller than the size 40 wyatt box so my question is does the box comes with the bigger or smaller saint laurent box depending on the size of the boots?

Here's the photos

Here's the photos

they are the same size to me tbh, my same size Wyatt boxes vary by this extent

 

[ScrubbyDoo]

There's gonna be a tiny bit of variation, we can't expect perfection from the child sweatshop workers making these boxes.

Idk about the design but quality of the high fashion brands have been going down hills

 

[SirGrotius]

Tbh, I'm a senior member on this thread, it has to be about 10 years or so, and I feel like people have been saying that quality has been going down since day one. It is what it is, SLP, Celine etc are going to be very nice but not Hermes or John Lobb.

I think quality of SLP stuff increased with Vaccarello, at least recently. There were dips for certain seasons, and shoes were not always good quality.

The other thing is that many discounted pieces that circulate through resellers, discount websites, grilled and VC are often items that didn't pass quality control. They are not sold in the official stores, and enter the market from the backdoor somewhere in Italy.

So, we were discussing this subject a couple months ago, but this sounds plausible. Did you verify it somehow? Also, agree with you on the quality being pretty good under Vaccarello.
