June/July Sales 2005

[Theory]

I checked out Prada (the 5th ave store) and the sale is on! 30-50% off select items, although I couldn't find much for 50% off. I saw one of the robot tricks on sale. Not much left, as the Prada fans surely snapped up the good stuff early on, plus the 5th ave store is a tourist trap (was pressed for time and I can't bear to walk around the city when it's this hot).
I did manage a sneak peak into Barneys and they had a few select Prada bags (mainly nylons) for men on discount. 1 of each though. I spotted a nice blue nylon messenger with brown leather trim (which oddly was just on display at the 5av store) and a few others.

Bottega Veneta has 30% off (if my math is correct) select bags and then even some clothing upstairs. Oddly enough, I liked some of their clothing (bags goes without saying).

Luisaviaroma has 50% off on spring/summer collections!

Alex, are you gonna get that Rick Owens jacket now that it's on sale, or are you done shopping for the year?

 

[AlexN]

Oh Jesus...you shouldn't have told me. I don't see how I could possibly afford it right now since I bought that Junya jacket, but you never know...

edit: I think I might try to get my family to pile money together for my Christmas present or something.

 

[faust]

dammit, that rick owens jacket's got my name on it. but i will resist

 

[AlexN]

I wouldn't be surprised if you can pull of a Medium, now that I've seen your height/weigh in the Dior thread.

I care! Didn't I post in the message you responded to that the Y's cardi is waiting for you?! And you know, I ALWAYS look at girls stuff . Unfortunately, that is one section of the CDG boutique I didn't check out . You know how it's tucked away behind the entrance tube. But from the distance it looked like they had a fair amount left. I did go over the Junya women's thoroughly G-d, he's such a master .

[UNiQFashionista]

[AlexN]

I got the measurements. They seem quite normal to me for the size.

 

[valerie1115]

I ordered from them and never had a problem. What sort of issues are you having? You could email Ilaria about it, she is very helpful, and fast with the response...

 

[dragonlance]

Hey! for all the londoners out there....
Sales starts:
Selfridges: June 23
Liberty: June 30

I reckon its best to go towards the end coz a lot are in 70% off specially Harvey Nichols.

Unpossible! I tried it on myself. I think you'll be fine in a medium.
