![]() ![]() That’s why I wanted to do it with him: he’s made an iconic image with his hand,” said Jones.ĭrawing from the bold colors of Miami’s historic Art Deco architecture, Jones and his team colored in the black-and-white artwork that Stussy submitted for Pre-Fall 2020, with select items utilizing labor-intensive beading that demanded 2,600 hours to complete. If you can work that line like that, and it’s that memorable, it’s like an artist. “For me to work with someone like Shawn is a real honor. Jones first discovered Stussy’s brand as a 14-year-old, buying directly from a family friend who worked at Michael Kopelman’s influential Gimme 5 distribution label. DIOR CONVERSE ARCHIVEI’ve got boxes of it,” Jones explains, referencing his notable archive of original Stüssy garments. It was something I was really, really, really obsessed by. “I used to wear it head-to-toe all the time in my teens. Plus, it’s a coming home for Jones, of sorts, who’s realizing a teenage fantasy. The Stussy partnership is hardly a departure for Dior, however, considering that Stussy’s distinctive penmanship gave Stüssy its world-famous logo Stussy’s scrawl is so recognizable that it even spawned a typeface that Stüssy uses to this day. Jones tenure at Dior has drawn attention for his expansive partnerships with artists that bridge the worlds of youth culture and fine art, including KAWS, Raymond Pettibon and Daniel Arsham. And if I’m going to come out for a last hurrah, why not with Dior? That’s the way I look at it. “I was just in a good place in my adventure, and he’s in a good place, and the stars just seemed to kind of line up. “There wasn’t much luring,” Stussy told WWD in Paris. Though the streetwear pioneer is in no rush to return to the business full-time - to this day, he resents the term “streetwear” - Jones had little challenge bringing Stussy back into the fold. Stussy left the eponymous brand he founded in 1996, staying fairly distant from the fashion industry save for infrequent releases from his S/DOUBLE imprint. Stussy has left his fashion retirement to design a variety of exclusive imagery for the fashion house’s Pre-Fall 2020 menswear collection. ORIGINAL STORY (December 2, 2019): Rumors have swirled about a possible Jordan Brand x Dior collaboration, but instead of responding to the whispers, the French luxury label has confirmed an entirely different streetwear-adjacent partnership: artistic director Kim Jones spoke to WWD about Dior‘s new joint effort with Stüssy founder Shawn Stussy. I mentioned this to the shop owner, who scoffed and said Louboutin shoe sizes were all over the place and in the end I tried on and bought EU37 because that was the best fit.Stussy took to Instagram to mention what this project means to him: “Kim Jones has brought me out of retirement to work with him and his Dior family on fall 2020.” Stussy also noted how organic the partnership with Dior felt and that he’s looking forward to seeing how the “next couple days” unfold. ![]() I'm a TTS EU37/UK4/US7 and I asked to try on an EU38, but it ended up being too big. ![]() I went into this little shoe boutique though that stocked a greater variety of Louboutins (not only black and nude coloured matte/patent heels), but also one that I completely fell in love with. What I found in going to Harvey Nichols is because they are so narrow (I've got wide feet), you might need to go a size up to accommodate this. ![]() I bought a pair of Christian Louboutins last year and I heard that ran quite small and you should order a size up. I know people advised buying a size up with Louboutins, but some seemed so narrow, I was worried this would be the problem or that it might end up being too big. I had trolled through a lot of ebay listings and was confused which size to buy. You are the one who knows your feet best and you should try them on in store instead of buying blindly online if possible. Is it possible for you to go into a Dior boutique nearby and try them on? Different people have different feet shapes and widths and hence the reason (IMO) for the different opinions on sizes. ![]()
