heeheehee

I remember posting earlier that these would probably look great on girls, It looks like my prediction is right!

They look so cool! Do they have a men's pair like that?

rocking my 96hours jacket

haha my hand seems so big funny pov

yea joey big t raw.

No, it's an old trend now--several years old this time around--but people are still doing it. C&C is one brand that makes very long tops to peek out underneath a shorter tee layered over the top. Short jackets and shrugs have been in style as well.

I think some people layer unknowingly. I wear two tee's sometimes because it gets bloody cold here and I would rather not get my fourth cold in two months!

few brands that exploits the idea of belonging? i'd say this is what all fashion is.

Haha, very true! Brands are trying to make you buy into their ideology, lifestyle or even an apsiration....

Fashion is so superficial!

haptronic, those Dukes look pretty nice

There's a store across the street from my house where they sell BAPE, but I've never seen anyone in there.

talk_shows_on_mute thanks

the discussion on BAPE is interesting, altough imho, the most interesting thing about NIGO is his early association with Jun Takahashi,Undercover/ism and to see the different directions they went, personally not a huge fan of BAPE, but some of the Undercover/ism stuff is incredible.

this is like the argument you hear when asking newbies what they want their company to represent. they say "we want to offer the best products, best services, at the best prices".

my point is that i dont think there's ever been a brand that has totally pushed exclusiveness and cult fetish, a "sense of belonging", to the point that BAPE has successfully done.

many fashion brands claim to do that, in fact they claim to be everything, few suceed.

i wish i could see Undercover stuff with my own eyes. unfortunately all i get to do is read about it :\

also another note, fashion was not always about offering a lifestyle -- this is a relatively new phenominal. when you bought a dress by Paul Poiret in the 1960s, sure you were probably filthy rich, but he was just selling a well made dress. period. only in the last decade or so has fashion had access to a more elaborate infrastructure of branding, marketing, and media ; such structures were required (i would argue) for a brand to transcend from merely selling clothes to vividly selling something more - a lifestyle.

Yes, of course. I am referring to modern fashion only, stuff in my lifetime.

What kind of jeans are these?

They are imperial, they look awesome !

Me, my sister and two of our friends at a bar last night

Which is your sister? Neither look at all like you...

Haptronic

Look like you are pissing ...

i would say the left one is her sister

That was exactly what I thought, but I decided the dark-haired one must be her sister, because their face shapes are more similar.
