Saint Laurent mens S/S 14 - Paris

[Legate]

I was just wanting to see what people thought of them, probably will cop since I am big into SLP.

[austinalamualaykum]

it seems as they have changed production of the denim from japan to italy this season

for the s/s14 wool trousers and faux leather pants, a recurring theme appears to cropped / shorter inseams.  anyone know approximately how short this, in person?

 

also, is there anything different with the jeans, aside from new washes?  why is there a pre-order for "new" black 15.5cm jeans when they appear to be the same as these existing ones?

Love the vampire jacket !

The official site just threw up a ton of SS14 stuff, including a $10k leather jacket.

Eyeing the new cardholder wallets. Full grain black leather with high shine pebble embossing. The previous years were flat black calf.  The new seems to thin the top bar somewhat and maybe decrease the size of the embossing. It's clear that they are imitating the grain of sting ray.

Which seems the better looking? I'm also wondering about the long-term look of the pebble vs the calf.

Images of the Wallets for comparison.

that new one is really more nice then the old one

[Legate]

Is it just me or is that 10k jacket really ugly? The standard black one is much better. 

 

Anyway what's everyone hoping to cop from this season?

The one with the grain will hold up much better, I´d go with that.

Now to find a way to pay for that checkered perfecto / moto jacket and zebra boots...

[exterminatingphantom]

I personally don't think the wallets/cardholders are that good of a deal for the quality. If you can find a billfold for $150-$200 that would be fine, or a card holder for under $125, but more than that and you're just paying for the embossed stamp. The wallets and cardholders are the exact same ones used for Balenciaga, etc. For about the same price you can get an hermes cardholder or spend a little more on a wallet that has infinitely better materials and craftsmanship. 

[Landadel]

I´d buy an Acne cardholder, I think you can´t go wrong for the price (70€).

When does the NY store usually gets its S/S shipment?

[Massiv]

Can anyone tell me which of the bold models resemble a normal pair of Wayferers the most? Thanks

[Illithid Dude]

If you want something that resembles Wayfarers than why not just get Wayfarers?

Anybody know if the destroyed denim are coming back in this collection, or anytime soon for that matter?

[jdemotion]

Hedi has been doing destroyed denim for 10 years, and with the popularity of them for aw13 I seriously doubt they're going to go away. There's a few pairs I've seen so far for spring, one in light blue and one in a bleach-y white. There's still quite a few pairs of the aw13 destroyed jeans floating around in various sizes.

new site dedicated to the work of Hedi Slimane!

I'm liking the silhouettes, but other than that, not much.

[inthedarkesthour]

I actually like a lot more of the collection than I was expecting. Those hawaiian shirts are awesome (I wish they came in cotton as well as silk), the jeans are great, and the black suede bomber-style jacket is really nice. The footwear is growing on me too, with the duckies boot being a favorite. 

[aymerikmd]

lol man hawain shirt are 900 $, short sleeve, no sense.

[el_Ronn]

anyone know the difference between the permanent collection cropped jodhpur boots and the fw13/ss14 jodhpur boots?

They're the same except for the new ones have the woven pull tab sewn into the lining in the back of the heel.

[superlondon]

The super-skinny silhouettes look a bit tired, tbh, and he always reissues what he did for the last collection, with slight alterations to fit the theme or 'trend'.

I can bet that the next collection (and many after) will have a theme that a biker jacket will work within. There seems to be no actual creative development or change, just financial development which don't get me wrong is great but... 

 

I liked that he has reopened the atelier though, the fit of everything seems to be much better.

[el_Ronn]

heel is higher on the fw13/ss14

 

just found out

[Legate]

 

ss14 campaign video, pretty cool in my opinion. 

[Illithid Dude]

This video is amazing, if only because it's Hedi directly calling out his critics. "If you don't like rock n' roll then I don't like you" and the only color in the video being of Los Angeles's iconic palm trees. This is Hedi saying that he's gonna do whatever the fuck he wants, wherever he wants, and if you don't like it, that's just too bad.

I really like this jacket but can't seem to find it anywhere online for info. Even YSL.com couldn't help as it wasn't in their online store. Has anyone seen this?
