designers that cut small

[the_b_side]

suggestions for designers that cut small (5'3" 95lbs, but not a stick-shape). my style runs the gamut from phillip lim to old levi's.

What are you talking about? You mean designers whose shit is slim-fitting? Do a search for "slim t-shirt" or "slim jeans" on here; there are millions of answers to this question.......

i'm not looking for a slim-cut clothing, but labels that run a bit smaller than the norm. for example, i find marc jacobs tends to run a bit large. calvin klein cuts fairly small, but i'm on the lookout for fresher labels.

Vexed tend to cut small. But their stuff certainly ain't for everyone. www.vexed.co.uk

I just realized that you are a female, and am now, of course, eager to help

But seriously, are you talking about small women's clothing? Or men's brands that make stuff small enough for a small woman to wear?

japanese or asian brands are the best to buy coz asians are small...the cut everything from suits to shirts just to fit the asian frame...if you have the money dior is stil the best

Yep. Over here some high fashion stores like I.T. for example, don't even carry anything larger than a 48 (European). As for shoes, anything over size 10 doesn't even seem to be an afterthought.

thanks.

Damnit, that's why I wish I was shopping in HK this moment. Hey Fade, when is the sale season happening, you're in HK right? I heard they're going to open a DH boutique.

yeah i heard the Dior Homme boutique is opening in July. As for sale season, might as well forget about it...prices for top brands like Dior Homme, Number (N)ine, etc. are so high it's ridiculous. Think $700+ retail on a pair of $495 (in the U.S) blue whiskered jeans.

What's funny is that while the blue whiskered jeans are over 700 USD retail, the destroyed rebel jeans is the exact same price as the whiskered ones, whereas in the States they're $550. I really wonder how the buyers come up with their prices. Also the service is crap here, I refuse to shop at Joyce any more.

correction: The HK retail price for the aforementioned Dior Homme jeans is $695 USD, not over 700. Still close though.

I feel ya with Joyce and frustrating that they don't have much of any sizes in stock. However I found some really affordable Raf Simons pieces at i.t sale last year. The Raf sneakers were much much cheaper than US prices. No wonder I've had a lot of bidders from HK whenever I sell Dior stuff on ebaY and they're like bidding ridiculously high. Of course that's a plus for me! It's sale season already in NYC. Last night I had the chance of meeting face to face with Alexander Plokhov at the Cloak store's kick off sale party.
