VIRGIL is a king and I have taken a long time to appreciate him, long after his passing ( REST IN PEACE ). But you can see why he was “Kanye’s best guy” and of course so much more - just a beautiful human.

Virgil was so reserved, I almost wish he had some of the asshole-ishness of Kanye to see more of his mind shared

But on the same note, I greatly appreciate he was his own person, perhaps I shouldn’t attach ideas about Kanye to Virgil when it only does a disservice to his work. He stands on his own merit.

your first statement was fine, it doesn't diminish the sentiment of your statement, If anything Ye is one of our generation's best style visionaries (antics aside)...so Ye holding Virgil with such High regard actually speaks much more volumes to Virgil's level of greatness, because Ye is is a great himself...A great recruited a great! @@zachariah7114

It’s crazy to watch them talking about the future of streetwear when today, I walk into my local Nordstrom and they’re carrying FOG, Kenzo, and Visvim (this brand has ALWAYS been ridiculously priced!) brands that have been long sought after and are now “somewhat” accessible. I have been hip to both Supreme and Bape long before they blew up back in the mid 2000s. Back then, my style had absolutely nothing to do with exclusivity or hype. I simply just loved the aesthetic of streetwear and back then it was the best way to express myself.

an architect of culture. luckily for me my wife worked for LV when Virgil was alive and was able to get a few items thru her job from his collections. I shall cherish those items for his ideals not for the symbol of weatlth

yep. NORT, ALIFE, Recon, Supreme, Staple, Clientele, Tripple 5 Soul.... (Nome De Gurre was on Broadway.... and Dave's Quality Meats was in the meat packing district, but close enough) Stussy and Adidas and Union were on the SOHO side - but worth the walk! And pretty much, you can trace almost every LES shop to an ex-Stussy employee. I was blessed to be there when this shit took off.

It's scary how much psychological manipulation happens in fashion.

@BeeNice-ou3op 8 ай бұрын

That’s just marketing in general. Psychological manipulation isn’t exclusive to the marketing of fashion, it’s universally implemented into almost all sales.

Favorite part at 31 mins when Virgil mentioned streetwear is new to fashion people, the white dude had a mini seizure and seemed slightly offended cause thinks streetwear is the lowest common denominator and explains high fashion people were once the street wear kids. Then Virgil politely agreed which countered his original point. Fashion industry seems like it’s filled elitist yet they are at the mercy of intangible elements like partnerships and catching trends. Virgil’s epiphany is when he converged blue collar elements with high fashion but all he knows is that bubble will burst eventually. The title says his thoughts on future but sounded like more so current state, example “DHL” trend. Am I way off on analysis? Open to thoughts

@zachariah7114 Жыл бұрын

It’s because “high fashion” has always acted like so-called streetwear should be elated to be entertained by the likes of them, and their ilk. But meanwhile they also secretly covet what truly streetwear brands and movements have done. Which is create from scratch what they can only buy into. When you think about it, Streetwear already IS the new luxury in that it can be created today, blow up overnight, and suddenly it’s got a following so great someone like Bernard Arnault wants to come in and cannibalize that truly organic brand. Streetwear is organic. A rare thing these days.
