No stress I understand that y’all need to rationalize and cope with spending thousands on single items. I only hope that you spend some of that $ on investing in yourself and your passions instead of judging people’s allegiance to the manufactured concept of “authenticity” propagated by major fashion labels and the overall system of western material ideology that they exist within

It’s hilarious that that’s what you got from my comment

What is vetements

Is this a zoomer brand I'm too old to know

@op rocking fakes isn't lame if you actually like the design and it's sold out or soooo out of your budget

Just don't flex it like it's real

Otherwise anyone hating is a mega dork lol

I have

Pretty much yeah

And don't buy bad fakes those look corny af. Gotta get 1:1s

I don't own any fakes but I would if there's anything sold out/too expensive I want. Thinking about getting fake og Jordan shadows

Plenty of people wear fake vivian and those are easy to rock and look good with

the design:

the quality:

Late to the party type s*** rocking vetements in 2023

Time to sell my real one

I am unfamiliar with that brand too lol

But yeah idk I don't see much of an issue with fakes unless it's from some super independent and affordable brand but idk

Not really. Definitely not hyped but still got a cult following. Nicki rocking it on her new album

!

Yea I meant the hype but wear what you want

Anyone who wants to buy rep, just follow the good subreddits to start with and don't try to buy the obvious hype beast pieces

No way you just said the d*** riding is crazy for buying within your means

If you pirate movies and video games why wouldn’t you pirate a hoodie as well

I support buying reps of designer brands cause f*** them brands tbh especially the brands that be biting Black culture and fashion and tryna pass it off like they were the originators. Gucci, Chanel, Supreme, Louis Vuitton, and many others.

Gucci and LV only recently started to hire more Black designers and artists who been rocking their s*** for years, and that's mostly because their s*** been getting called out for damn near racist and damn near minstrel show ass designs

F*** them brands. Funny as hell people be against copping reps of those brands when they been biting from Black owned designer brands and designs in high fashion and streetwear for years. If anything they been the rep peddlers, and they been finessing y'all with this fake ass idea of "authenticity".

Either cop from Black owned designers or let them corny ass fashion houses die off and get whatever you look and feel comfortable in instead of trying to appease others. You ain't gotta blow a check on a piece just to look good I promise.

You’re a chump if you’re watching another man’s pockets— OP is rocking that Polezei jacket so Sarah at the front desk notices him you all need to mind your business

pirating a movie is free lol

And the logic of getting a quality rep is insane when it comes to designer. Made in Italy vs made in China

Acting like Chinese people can't make good clothes

So you think they are tailoring these reps?
