He just took Our Styles

they are. that’s why they keep throwing kids with no formal model experience in their shows.

culture was killed by over exposure.. the meteoric rise of trends over style killed us and subcultures

if you know ian connor? playboi carti? lil yacthy? stories, and yull delete your comment

@@icaprone1 maybe the culture yall are trying to take over.. but "street wear" is something before it was labeled, and it was created and is lived by the STREET PEOPLE Latasha is referring to. The rawness and realness of our culture is still alive, because we are still this people in these streets living the life that birthed it everyday. Yall are just trying to dress like us..

JOHN Doh well written.

vehemently agree. in the end, those who have “it” and don’t force it will always prosper. people will create what’s true to them instead of focusing on what’s hot & if it’s good, consumers will appreciate it. I feel this is all part of the process to get to the best end product, which will be a mix of the ethos of streetwear (to just create & get out your ideas, regardless of capital & infrastructure) and the technical skill & knowledge of these storied maisons.

If you have a true love for design, aesthetics & fashion you don’t grow out of street wear, you grow up to be Kim Jones, Virgil Abloh and the likes. These men were in their late 30’s to early 40’s

Kanye said this in his interview with SHOW studio.

Uh No

Lmao

yo dis is all I was thinking about thru out dis talk omg #gang

NADS IQ no need to generalize, bro

Why do you say that I think he made a lot of good points on this generation, its tastes, what sets them apart from past generations, and the influence this generation has on the world of fashion. He fully recognized social media influence on fashion, which reaches even to the higher aspects of fashion. I thought this was a very interesting interview because both of these people come from the "streetwear" generation, with a background in very much casual/street fashion, urban fashion etc. This is a very interesting time for fashion to me because before this, it was mostly Japanese brands that produced this type of focus and had these type of people in the lead, but this is the first time to me that the western fashion world has become dominated by this area of fashion.

stfu

Read what you just wrote again, your doing it too then.

L

Not genius

He also does incredible things with his womenswear line, idk what his deal is with not putting effort into menswear

No

Frank Dean what about them, makes them your heroes?

Lou: Is Probably one of the most eloquent and researched fashion journalist, curator and broadcaster of her age. Having a book and 2 exhibitions under her belt under the age of 30. Who wouldn't want her to be your hero? Kim: his fusion of sportswear and luxury craft has inspired today's most prolific trend; sports luxe. He is Menswear designer for LV only 10years after his graduation from CSM. His wealth of knowledge of British pop and subculture, along with a great creative and business mind, He is everything I would like to be at his age. Virgil: How many other designers have you seen that have communicated in such a way with today's generation, than him? Virgil has a great commercial mindset and filled a gap in the market with Pyrex and currently with OFF-WHITE. he's also black, racial diversity within fashion is a problem, and he is a fantastic role model for anyone who feels like they can't break into the industry because they feel like their skin colour or where they are from would affect them. To conclude, they just seem like fucking great people. And today, in the media there are far too many Kardashian-Jenner, Hadid's and Boybands that people call their heroes, that I'd much rather pick 3 intelligent, young and fascinating professionals than those mentioned earlier. That is what makes them my Heroes.

@@FrankD3an perfect reply bro

@tmr he did , LV was really fortunate to have Kim initially bridge the gap, It was such a blessing having Virgil’s talents there.

even more meta now that both Virgil and Kim have done AJ1's

cuttingwedge Envy, they probably also think modern art is "trash" because "everyone can do it". Don't know what else to think.

cuttingwedge I like Virgil, but during his Pyrex era he did take the flannels from Ralph Lauren Rugby and put his logo on them. He also marked up the price thrice times over. So maybe from that aspect, but I love the deconstructed Nike's he has been doing.

because his black

Kevin Evans very true. I think what ppl should understand though is that was comparative to “high school” for him - learning thru trial & error b/c there was no way to get “in” the industry at the time to make clothing the “appropriate” way. we don’t shit on kids for making lemonade stands, or bracelets, or slime just because they aren’t legitimate, scalable businesses yet. we let them explore because that’s the practice & experience they need to succeed in the future. the difference is, he had the confidence to put it out regardless of what ppl thought / said, when most are too insecure.

I would do anything for that opportunity, I hope he’s resting in peace 🙏

cuttingwedge I'm with you except for the hating on the sportswear brands at the end lol I just didn't want to hear about them in THIS video

Hehe. Yes. As a fashion enthusiast, I have zero interest in those giant sportswear brands. Nike to me is for working out and performance. I have never owned or worn something by Nike. Just not my thing. It's equivalent to Eddie Bauer or A&F for me. It's all branding as the product doesn't compare to say a Chapman bros LV piece. I get it though: hip hop culture, athletes, limited edition, streetwear culture... It's so desirable. Good for Nike. But I wouldn't be caught dead in Air Jordans. To each their own, yeah.

cuttingwedge although this collaboration is Virgil's biggest accomplishment so far with the "TEN". It's the biggest thing he's done and that's all thanks to Nike.

Armando Frias By "all", do you mean "entirely". You're saying Virgil wasn't a critical component in the process?

He did talk about his thoughts and how he sees vision and gets inspired by others.

.. Does it matter… really!!… His gifts ambitions and 💥talent sustain a million.. likes!!🎆🥰…. And your ‘like’ ….small/ weak minded and jealous …. No talent needed for that!’ Just ‘ petty ness’ Rest In Peace and beautiful paradise .. thank you.. ✨💥we love u.. your brilliance will be missed🌟 Virgil A. Ashe’

they're just jealous white people 😂. Normal white people don't hate.

Saiamrad Williams he tries so hard to be accepted in the fashion industry and it doesn't come across as genuine tbh.

Abercrombieindya what do you mean by "wants to be accepted in the fashion industry" ? isn't he already "in" or is he trying too hard get the acceptance of notable fashion heads like Louis, Fendi and etc? I really want to know your perspective on it.

Because he's black

and i suppose you're not? nv = " INSECURE "

hype beast mostly but the culture adored the nikelab collab

Nike has more respect in street culture lol.

Adidas has more respect in street culture.

"Culture" is pretty much the hiphop movement

everything black is culture

Yellow Synth I tried to be nice about it 😂😂

thats kind of the point behind Off-White. He describes is as the color between white and black or something.. idk, but Off-White is all about defining things such as culture. thats why he uses quotation marks so much. He explains it as defining what something is using society and "culture" instead of a straight forward dictionary. It just so happens that American street culture (hip hop or everything black lol) is the culture he is most involved with. I wouldnt say hes trash, but i wouldnt say hes revolutionary. He just has a cool idea and hes expanding on it.

yet you clicked on the video to watch ha

Exactly. Here here. At least with LV, there's some edge in injecting Jones' amazing vision into a tired old lady brand. There's something fun about that.

i learnt a new word today, everyone in my groupchat's getting called a lackey

ITSFULLOFSTARS1 try designing ten pairs of Nike’s biggest kicks and put a resale value on it

Try feeding a family in need Fuck Face....Merry Fucking Christmas.

ITSFULLOFSTARS1 already doing it mate👍

What is this assertion based on? Got any sources?

failure is subjective & ultimately immeasurable. to creators, getting ideas out into the world is success - therefore, he could never fail.

Lol u still wanna back that statement? Kim has brought Dior to places they haven’t been to before.

I mean whether you like it or not. He isn't "trying too hard to be relevant in fashion" . He is relevant

It seems like he’s seeking acceptance.

AQGOAT24 relevant yes but doesn't mean good

AQGOAT24 and that is exactly why his the head designer for mens LV. Good on him

truthfully, he just has a different approach. he’s not the first designer to try to capture the spirit of the youth, but he’s the first to make a conscious effort to speak to them directly & in a language they understand. he’s earned the right to be passionate, he didn’t just jump in the game lacking respect for the history - he studied, interned, went thru trial & error, failed & succeeded just oike every other person with aspirations of becoming a respected designer.

Rayhan Ali no

NOW

is that supposed to insinuate he’s any less intelligent?

good to know you feel better about yourself now.

I think Kanye is more of a creator.

what is “real culture”? maybe you feel he doesn’t respresent your culture, but that’s ultimately subjective. personally, I feel very well represented by anyone who actually cares about contributing to the culture. he’s created moments that will inspire kids for many years to come.
