What happened to all the Hedi's leaving SLP talk? It almost seems like bait to increase viewership of the LA show.

In all seriousness, when does his contract expire? One would imagine they are in the throes of renegotiation. If only they had Trump to work that deal.

Don't size down on leather high jods. Only suede.. 1 full size

Have just purchased the new season suede high jodhs in 1 size down, hope you are right!!

617 euros including postage, vat excluded + 10% off code, good deal I think

would probably work if you have slim feet/ankles or if they are suede

for calf leather you should be able to size down 1/2 from true size

and for suede, well as other people have said sizing down 1 wouldn't be a problem

haha was funny "went in the shop today and the mood was sombre / like a funeral"

or the stockroom guy knew exactly what was happening in the contract negotiations / where he was going

a good laugh

@SirGrotius in one of the links I posted a few pages back, Pineault said that they "had until the end of March" to come to an agreement on the contract. i imagine we'll here something this week. no way they'll announce it after the show, retrospectively deeming it his last. get your credit card ready.

in other news a friend had seen the showroom for FW16 stuff and said that some of the diffusion (his word) production pieces weren't that nice. he said the low boots didn't seem as special. I am looking forward to seeing everything broken up.

EOM is a lot of time. I imagine they'll get the deal done. IIRC, revenues are up around 20% annually, whereas other fashion houses have tepid if any growth.

maybe hedi pulled a david lynch and leaked the rumours himself to gain an even better bargaining position. I find it hard to believe that he would possibly want even more--the only thing he doesn't have rights to the beauty stuff. anyone know when the licenses with L'Oreal end?

Anyone on the shorter side have any experience with the aw13 knee blowouts? Have an opportunity to purchase a pair, but not sure if they will look weird since I'm only 5'6.

Has anyone else noticed that on the YSL official Twitter account all Saint Laurent clothing credits now state Saint Laurent By Hedi Slimane whereas before it simply was credited as Saint Laurent. All these credit changes are post men's Palladium show.

i'm 5'10 and my 30w is not EXACTLY on my knees so you might be pushing it. The blowouts are however large enough for no one to notice unlike the newer knee rips for example. A lot of people with those look like shin rips.
