whats the difference between the ss13 and aw13 coated denim?

 

SS13 is 16cm, AW13 is 15.5cm. 

opinions please, on the ss13 waxed 15.5 denim

it's aw13 and i'd say go for it

went to nyc last week and saw a couple of these pieces irl... the blazers are cool but the boxy fit + 3 buttons make it look like you're wearing your uncles blazer from the 90s i didn't think much of them but seeing them in person the zebra patterned knits are killer, and the jeans look perfect. 

 

dat houndstooth coat is my favorite piece so far

 

Dat houndstooth coat is also a mind boggling 4k. I don't understand pricing. Coats go up, wyatt heel boots go up $300, but blazers stay the same and jeans have actually dropped in price? Huh. 

Jeans are now 15cm time to start dieting!

was there ever a black saint laurent denim vest made?  i've only seen a washed blue one from an earlier season (and i think it was women's?)

 

i don't really feel like buying a new denim jacket and ripping off the sleeves but i might have to

 

A sleeveless washed grey denim vest was made with a kind of ripped band collar. 

 

Just got this jacket in the mail, Dior Homme SS'04.

 

I didn't know this was a grail piece until I saw it for sale. Instant buy, not a single regret.

 

Incredible man. What size is it and where did you get it?

Anyone know any stores that carry Undercover/Undercoverism? I think Opening Ceremony does, but anyone besides them?

meant to + rep

^ that schindler situation is depressing.

 

Actually, it was built specifically for student housing. Some wealthy lady in the 40s thought that student housing architecture should be elevated, so she did just that. 

Work of Neil Denari. 

 

He's designing the new high rise campus for my old high school. Would've been fun to go to school in a Denari building. Alas...

 

Some pictures I've taken of overlooked, interesting buildings in Los Angeles. 

 

 

This Schindler building is student housing for UCLA.

PoMo gets too much hate 

A bunch of men's AW14 is up for pre-order on the ysl website with estimating shipping for June 15th. 

*RIP SUN D* 

 

Thank god, but what did he finally do?

how many wears did it take for you guys to break in your 15.5cm? i don't even want to walk outside with the ones I just bought cuz they're so tight lol 

 

For me it takes about a week. 

Seeing all the pieces individually has made me really warm up to this collection. I see so many things I want, far more than SS14. 

It's from the official YSL website, from the womens collection. Looks like they have all of pre-fall up. 

Didn't know AW14 pictures were coming out already. Anyone have any other pictures of the collection? 

 

i like everything but the blue polo

On the subject of DTLA, anyone live in the central downtown area? In a similar boat as brooks, moving down to LA in the near future for my girl's job. Her job is smack in the middle of downtown (near The Standard), and just wondering what living in that area is like. We've seen what looks like some pretty cool lofts for way cheaper then the east coast but not sure if it's too good to be true or what

 

I don't live downtown, but I'm incredibly familiar with it. Basically every loft downtown has been built in the past ten years, and almost all of them are pretty good quality. I'd stay away from anything that sounds like a TMNT (Orcini, Michelangelo) or starts with SB (which stands for Shy Barry, a developer notorious for cheaping out on his projects).  Beyond downtown, Silverlake and Echo Park are also cheaper, cool, and close options, though you'd probably need a car. Koreatown is a little grungier, but is probably even cheaper, has some of the best food in the city, and you wouldn't need a car. If you have any more specific questions, feel free to PM me. 

Downtown Los Angeles. In recent years, DTLA has really sprung up. Acne, for example, just opened up their biggest store ever down there. 

Where in Beverly Hills are you moving? I'd say check out downtown around the new Ace Hotel, Melrose, W. 3rd, and get going to all the touristy places out of the way. I figure though that anything you miss in the few days you are visiting can be seen again when you come back permanently.

So in honor of him...

 

Figured my issue out: AW13 denim runs one size small, but SS14 denim runs true to size. I just sized down one size, and my jeans fit exactly the same as the AW13 ones. 

I think the waist is bigger in the SS14 jeans too. My AW13 jeans were crazy tight, but I had no such problem with my SS14 15.5s. This might be an issue though, since my AW13 pair stretched and ended up fitting perfectly, making me worried that my SS14 will similarly stretch and become too big for me.
