Jun 2, 2020·1 replyI don't agree that he isn't creative. I think he succeeded to a level of ubiquity in streetwear/entry-level fashion that any level of interest wore off. But imagine if you'd never seen a single Off-White logo and then all of a sudden were shown the entire body of work. Its undeniably cohesive and I have to say creative. I think its just that the magic wore away quickly due to the meteoric rise and rich white guy's daughter wearing an off-white belt type situation.

SkogNo problem, I like discussing lesser known designer talents, they are often more exciting than most of the established star designers. Other black designers worth mentioning are Maxhosa By Laduma and T-Michael.
T-Michael is one of my favorite designers and the one that got me interested in clothes in the first place. He is a real style icon. He has is own brand, T-Michael, and the brand Norwegian Rain that makes the coolest rain jackets. https://www.t-michael.com/
Amah Ayivi is also an interesting person to look into. I dont like Instagram very much, but it is an ideal place to find cool communities tied to one person that you stumble upon.
Thank you for all of this
Would you be down to make a thread for lesser known/up and coming designers (maybe with a spotlight for all these designers you've mentioned)Always feel like I'm never seeing enough when it comes to this side of fashion and it would be cool to have an organized place for it + discussion
Jun 3, 2020·1 replyOUT OF ORDERNot streetwear itself, just the whole “fit pic” type scene. After seeing all the IG influencers hyping his s***ty ass Nike collabs I knew he jumped the shark, not his fault but still. In my eyes he’s the poster child for selling s*** quality and low-effort clothes for hundreds more than what they’re actually worth. He’s become the idol for instagram kids who use their parents’ credit cards to buy supreme.
The type of kids who put “creative director / stylist” in their bio with a Carti lyric as their captions but have literally no knowledge of the inner workings of the fashion world
it seems like you don't like the hypebeasts more so than the designer himself idk

For me at least its mainly about his runway collections, I understand every designer has to make concessions to move product and he cant help who buys his product but to me his runway collections never really stand out and I feel like someone with his level of acclaim should have better stuff

I can try making a thread when I have the time. I just want to mention the platform Not Just A Label, since we are on the subject smaller designers. It is a cool place to find new designers, together with magazines and news from the best fashion schools.
