Oobah Butler of fake shed restaurant fame is back and this time he’s turned his attention to the world of fashion. Paris Fashion week is iconic amongst A-Listers and fashion inner circles. It's the place where you find all the next big trends, the crème de la crème of fashion weeks. Georgio Peviani was getting loads of attention at PFW.
Buyers from Milan wanted his denim in their stores, the inner-circle wanted him at their showrooms and A-Listers partied with him at night. But the man doesn't actually exist.. does he? This is the time Oobah Butler faked his way into Paris Fashion Week.
WATCH NEXT: The Shed at Dulwich was the number one rated restaurant in London, but the main problem was that it didn't exist - vice.video/2KbdNzI

Only one comment???

[@HoneycottDivers]

I am making enough money to be able to afford luxury items, but for many years I am buying more top quality replicas, than real items. I am not person who is looking to fashion as investment. I want my handbags, shoes, sunglasses or jewelry for one season. Sad fact is, that my replicas have better quality than most of original products. We did comparisons with friend who works for one of the top designers and she was shocked. I know people who bought *suluxs* at reputable places.

[@Limitedonathios]

I don't think it needed proving. The point of all of those things was that they were intangible to begin with. Something that you can always keep out of the hands of others for no *good* reason--or no reason--at all. A way to secure power and influence with such fleeting and hard to pin objectives that it was truly exclusive. That's why fashion has had such a dark modern history. That's also why influencing is so broad talent with the stage of the internet. Someone can blatantly rip off a smaller creative and thrive, bc they have the access to this "world" and associated stature. Mainstream fashion and influencing, in the name if vanity, has always heen vapid and empty and that was always the point.

He really became Georgio Peviani in that instance, and he represented himself as if he knew he was meant to be at the top. The real lesson to learn here is to be confident in anything you do, or at least fake it till you make it. If you believe in yourself, others will take notice and believe in you also. You only live once.. so chase those dreams like you know they're already yours. Confidence is the single best thing you can do for yourself.

Success is this young guy, not the brand, or any brand! It's always the person! -and what I find astonishing, he doesn't even take credit for it, he's so unassuming. Well done fella!

[@raywalteroutdoors]

I actually checked out the website. It looks good but there isn't much to it. You can't order online. Hopefully they put it to use. I'd never wear this stuff but I'd love to see this humble guy succeed beyond his dreams.

[@MadameIvetta]

Just of curiosity, why would you never wear this stuff?

[@RimZeime]

@@MadameIvetta Not his style.

[@moniquebrittany23]

Yessssss I hope they do too !

[@raywalteroutdoors]

@@MadameIvetta Jcrew, Woolrich & Levis are more my style with exception to suits. I only buy high end italian suits (Zegna, Canali, etc) but don't let me fool you they all come from Goodwill in a high end area. 👍

[@VaniillaRH]

Genius but can we take a second to realize how with both of these experiments (fake fashion designer and fake restaurant) these guy just proved people don’t give any real tangible value to things anymore, it is all based on prestige or the ilusion of it in this case. Kind of sad.

thats 100% of everything though. money in and of itself has no value you have assigned it that.

[@TheAcenightcreeper]

blooduhz no, I don’t wonder. I use my brain and think gee, what resources were involved in the making of this product? Is it egyptian long staple cotton! Sea island cotton (the rarest cotton in the world), was it made by hand or by machine, how many have been produced? I ask myself those questions and then i come to a a rational conclusion and make the determination if said product is worth what they are asking for it. We are not living in an illusion. We are living in a world with limited supply and unlimited demand. The other nice thing about living in this world is that you ARE NOT FORCED TO BUY ANYTHING YOU DO NOT WANT! If you believe you can make the item for less, then do it. I don’t know if you know this, there are a couple small companies, walmart, uniqlo, topshop, that sell clothes for 1-10 USD. Making an argument about one aspect of an industry shows a lack of knowledge and thought on your end...

This reminds me of when someone put down a pair of glasses in an art museum and ppl were just looking at it as if was part of the exhibit. The same thing can be said about the fashion world when they view things as “fashion”

[@isiahhand818]

I feel like fashion is in a similar place that other arts such as cinema and or even video games are currently at. An almost self aware, or even meta statement on the ridiculousness of itself is often implemented on new pieces. So really, anything can qualify as “top fashion “ because we’ve realized how subjective it is at its base.
