Men's LV Club

Guys out of curiosity does anyone know when the Women Cruise 2020 will be available for purchase? How long normally after the show? I got my eye on something.

I mean, I love streetwear. I always have.

When it comes to luxury streetwear, though, I prefer the way Kim Jones does it.

I think the worse is that these hypebeasts can really buy anything at any price as long as it looks street.

Yeah the 'streetwear' culture is pretty odd, in my opinion it's been something that hit mainstream in the last 10 years or so. Hence why Off-White's Virgil would be a good fit for LV, to tap into this market.

Kim Jones does good designer streetwear. To some extent, Tisci as well. VA does garbage that any talentless clown can

Opinion on the Marc Jacobs era? Seems pretty stagnant to me looking back.

It really isn't that different from the luxury market. (That's one of the reasons why the LV/Supreme collaboration worked so well.) The only real differences are the brands people are flashing and the prices of the goods.

I don't mind it. Its not cutting edge, but there's a nice simplicity to it and I wouldnt mind wearing most of them. The cuts, proportions and relaxed ease in which most looks were styled together are nice

The collection did well because hypebeasts dont have a sense of style or any taste for that matter. I dont see how a fire red hoodie splashed with the LV monogram looks tasteful or stylish.

I wasn't commenting on the aesthetics of the collection.

I was commenting on the idea of the two brands collaborating with one another. The merging of the two heavyweights of their divisions is what worked well.

FWIW, though, the overblown hoodies were not supposed to be tasteful and demure. They were supposed to be LOUD and FLASHY -- because that is the style of streetwear and, for many people, how they also like to style their luxury wear.

Hey guys. Especially @Redenkeew @fabuleux @LVBastille and @BULL keen to know what you think of this. Wanting a leather bag that I can use as day bag, carry on or perhaps an overnighter occasionally. I've heard of others able to fit 2 change of outfits plus a pair of shoes in a 40.

So sorry I've been MIA. Because the bag is not Virgil I LOVE it. I see that you already bought the bag. It's one of my favorite bags bc of its great size and the leather is to die for.

Cruise 2020 is out around mid-November to early December. What are you eyeing from the collection?

I think it would only look good under a plain jacket, or jean jacket.

When SS19 hit the store, I walked into it looking at a bunch of young kids sitting in the pop-up like they own the store, waving a stack of cash around laughing right before they pay for their purchase. My only thought was "shot me in the f*kking face if I ever act or look like that"

Over time, I just grew further away from his collection and the image it represents. It wasn't luxury to me on every level.

More often than not the clients that wear Virgil's collection look like sh*t and excuse me for not wanting to spend thousands of dollars to walk around looking like garbage.

I noticed they might release a Petite Malle in all Black Claf and Black Hardware...
If this is the case I want it so bad. If I manage to get it, I plan on swapping the strap for a more masculine one from a Keepall 45 or another bag with thicker strap..




I missed out on this one in 2015... the Graphite Nacre M50732. I don't like gold hardware or mono...

My problem is not the concept of streetwear. My problem is the concept of LV as streetwear
