[eli7]

can anyone tell me more about walking man, as in the defunct/iconic san francisco label? i feel like i missed out on that cultural moment and would like to contextualize it for myself.

here's the old catalogue for reference:

this is my first time hearing about it, but that's interesting and i'm now on the same boat as you.
the origami coat is quite amazing to me

the multiple ways of buttoning have a kapital ring coat/jacket flavor, v nice

[INNIT]

is wearing corduroy pant with black tshirts and sweaters normcore? sorrry still hung up on this

[Ques]

yes

BBS has some hard to handle double zippers as well. When a girl sitting on a couch in a bar wanted to help me with the zipper on my coat all the people behind me were laughing because it looked like a blowjob.

Some random thoughts here:

Silent should be more expensive than the mainline.

Starting to like MA.

And a fast fashion thought: Dont women in cheap high heels ask for the attention of just women in cheap high heels and men who like women in cheap high heels? Sorry, I came too close to a newly opened shopping center in my town...

i think it's kind of funny that the only acceptable level of flexing while wearing SI is without the badge even though it's extremely obvious that you removed the badge

[kickingthefly]

americans just seem dumb in stoney tbh, there should be a test where you have to call someone chief or bossman and not sound ridiculous
might as well be drake trying to rap jamaican

[griffin]

anyone participating in this normcore discussion, in fucking 2019, needs a ban

[fun_yunchables]

what does fashion look like in the absence of subcultures it leeches off

[nope]

Ever shallower "collaborations" and re-combinations of the same old symbols and signs.
A $500 t-shirt that says "Francis Fukboiyama".
An LV X Supreme boot stamping on a human face - forever.

Normcore, like cyberpunk, is difficult to theorise now that It's suffused reality.

There’s a store in a cellar in Shibuya called “archive store” and it sells old helmut Lang and raf Simons etc.

Did supreme start the recent popularity of jpg or was it those archive Instagram accounts? Did those accounts start posting jpg because it was cheap to buy on eBay?

I think you can see the whole archive situation as an exercise in commodity manipulation.

And ASAP Rocky, he was probably the source of the widespread popularity of “archive” clothing.

[bels]

Moody's now recommending a Hold position on jpg.

Sell position on previous archive brands.

Buy position on.................?

Re: Sam’s rep comment, Yes they had some amazing margiela items that I had never seen in person such as the down jacket coat and glove vest. Worth visiting for that alone.

Some things truly are archive worthy. But then other specific items of clothing are just transparently about pushing up the value. I remember some specific undercover jacket (I think the one that says zamizang) suddenly being a very expensive archive piece. Or the junya watanabe poem shirts and jeans.

Honestly anything with text printed on it from the 90s will probably become “archival” seeing a bunch of hysteric glamour pop up recently. Maybe that 2047691042 brand.

[Sam]

It's very amusing/depressing to see items from max 4 years ago pop up on the archive instagrams and to be told they are archival. Total joke.

[fun_yunchables]

archival is the fashion kids way of saying born in the wrong generation

The year is 2013, You live between sufu and /r/malefashion and it’s December. You wake up every morning to turn on laptop at 7am. The sales have started. You already know what you're looking for on Mr P and that’s snagging your first set of common projects achillies lows. the IRC is already a buzz of latest cops. Life is good.
