i'd definitely be down for some sort of meetup, even moreso if alcohol is involved. i thought about making some revisions to the sufu chicago guide, but i really haven't had much time to regularly shop at a lot of the places people are always talking about. i can definitely help out with the goldcoast area since i work(ed) at various places down there. the gentrification of wicker park is a discussion that could go on for hours, but like B-15C, there's a lot of the business aspects very few of us know about.
Honestly, when I think Wicker Park, I think uber skinny unclean looking hipsters w/ Chrome messenger bags and single/fixed bikes. Now way you would see anybody with a pair Diors there.haha. that's because it'd be foolish of me to ride my bike in diors. i've lost too many crotches because of that. i wore them a lot when i worked in wicker park, but they aren't the most practical biking jeans.

Am I going to be living on top of a Louis Vuitton?
Directly across the street from the Levis store is still Jade, which is an upscale women's boutique that carries some very nice things. The SoHoification of Wicker Park is one thing, but I'm spooked that it could become a commercial alley that backslides into a little bit of what Michigan Ave. is, where the shopping castes mingle, people come to gape at LV and then buy cheap Levis to get a full dose of retail therapy. Either way, it's an interesting evolution. In a few years I'll be able to chalk it up to history.
that's what has been thrown around the rumor mill. i used to work for a shop that was going to expand and take over that copy space, but they passed on it and supposedly louis vuitton scarfed it up. not sure of when its going to go up, but soon i assume. at this point the neighborhood could really go either way. i think WP is still too dirty by the average tourist's standards to warrant them leaving the safety bubble that is the magnificent mile.

Wicker park is pretty bullshit right now anyway--but ok/good for shopping. It's not surprising or strange to me that Levis would put something there--if anything hopefully it'll be a concept store, maybe ppl who give a shit can bring Diesel in too, lmao. And like everyone else, I'm also tired of ppl complaining about what Wicker Park is "becoming"--it's been commercialized for, i'unno 5+ years now. I think the hilarious updates are Filter being replaced by a bank and Belmont Army Surplus on ... Milwaukee.
But, I'm genuinely shocked about a Marc Jacobs and LV store opening there. ...dang... why couldn't they just go to LP or NearNorth/River whatever? :/
yeah i'm definiately not surprised by what's been going on in WP over the years. i think belmont army surplus opening an additional location is a wise move on there behalf. yeah if you want to laugh at the semantics of it, it seems kind of silly that the "belmont army surplus" is on milwaukee ave., but by that logic you could argue that scoop "NYC" opening in chicago is hilarious too. the retail climate in chicago is only going to get bigger over the next few years as a lot of household names like D&G and Miss Sixty are opening up in Gold Coast soon.

i'm not at all surprised by this. supposedly a louis vuitton store is taking over the copy place next to earwax. marc by marc jacobs is going to be underneath red pagoda on damen. intermix is landing soon too. i think swank frank & filter being bought out by a bank was a big indication of what is to come for wicker park. i guess i'd be alright with things becoming a bit more SoHo, but who knows.

not that it matters...
weird. my store never got a female version of it. oh well, its still an awesome piece regardless and nice to see someone else wearing it.

Anzevino & Florence. I'd never heard of it but I love this sweater
it's meant for girls but there's nothing girly about it.
not sure who told you it was meant for girls since the piece is from their f/w 06 men's collection. i've got the same thing in black.

INFO: All of these shoes have been worn maybe 2-3 times at most. They show minimal wear and I will gladly take more detailed photos if you are concerned about owning something close to DS status. All prices DO NOT include shipping, but if any deals are worked out by Sunday I will ship them double boxed via UPS ground for an additional $5. After that, we will have to work out another method. All shoes are US 9.

I put a few hours of wear in these around the house and at work, but they still have more than enough life in them as no major fading are honey combing has occurred. Will gladly provide more photos or measurements to interested buyers.
ASKING PRICE:

Waist - 28"
Leg Opening - 7"
Inseam - 33"
