I thought these were kinda contradicting but I guess he means put yourself in a box and force yourself to use limited tools in each one of the multiple projects you’re working on.

The minute Virgil said do you have other videos, then asked him how did you do that, I knew Virgil had a different motive. Don’t be surprised if you see that idea in the next show. Lol

[@snkrheadzzron1961]

Yep, I would have just said a friend done it for me lol. Most of these big designer take ideas from people who don’t have much recognition and that’s sad. People who have the most creativity don’t have as much recognition than people who have the clout. I understand he was probably excited to share his idea with Virgil but don’t spill out all his ideas

[@curtisbmw13]

I could see why you would say that but Virgil could afford to have anyone do that 10x better lol

[@donnyj9487]

@@curtisbmw13 Thats my point lol. You take the concept, put a bunch of money behind it and make it 10x better but that doesn't take away the fact of him potential taking someone's idea and making it his own. Also this is all hypothetical and speculation.

it seems like the guy is not really taking this information in. He’s giving him ways to get noticed and all he can think of is, how do I these brands to work with me. Like the splice idea, you could shoot video, take the stills from that and maybe edit them to look like they were spliced out of actual film and have those be the images you present the clothing with. Wasn’t too hard to get that as a base idea and all you would have to do is just keep toying around with different things you like to do to make it better

I think he means to draw inspiration from those other projects to channel into his core concept ( St-Die) if you look at Oki Sato (definitely check him out ) this man is a designer who works on 400 projects at a time. This guy works on furniture, architecture, graphic design and ect.at the same time, but he has one core concept inspired by all these fields of design.

[@dompreh]

how do they get these interviews with Virgil

[@gc6000]

Correct me if I’m wrong he said take on multiple projects but then at the end he said create in a box. Can somebody explain this?

[@greyarea7181]

I think he meant to work on 6 different projects or types of projects. So something in fashion, film, photography, etc OR some pants, some shirts, some printing, some cut and sew, etc, (just a variety of different themes, mediums or intentions) And then while working in those different themes, or mediums, he suggests to limit the amount of tools you have to create in that space. An example of an exercise that combines both of these ideas would be: Work in only black and white for 1. a fashion video, 2. a t shirt you plan to sell, 3. a wedding photo for a client, 4. a silly comic strip for a friend, 5. a photoshop collage, 6. an abstract painting. I think Virgil is suggesting that if you do that, you will probably come up with more new ideas about “black and white” than if you only painted in black in white and did not explore other mediums, techniques, or intentions for using black and white. And if you make nothing and just think all day, you wont build off past things youve made and wont have as many new ideas.
