    This designer (or brand) is trendy, overpriced and I cannot stand it.

    Please list. To me it's Deisel or Bape. I am all for spending mortgage payments on beautiful pieces of clothing but just to not get the Deisel and Bape seen.

      Ridiculous sums of money for "limited edition" Nike whatevers that you see on ebay all the time.




      Same Vietnam factory, same little children hands, same box. The manager just decided to make 50 instead of 500,000.




      Totally artificial market. They COULD make a million, they just choose to make 50 to hype that shit.

          This. I absolutely don't understand the obsession with Nikes period, but it's absurd how much people will pay for these.

            ccp. i feel like everyone on SZ loves him, can't go a day w/o seeing him everywhere. and if its got overlock, which it always does, add another $600 to the price.



            same goes w MA+. 2500 for a coat the resembles a sleeping bag skinned in half that a hobo would wear? come on please, and that's just one example, don't get me started on the "aviator" you think it was a prop for Star wars or something w the fervor it generates among these adolescents.



            and i really can't stand mr. alterlairi or however you spell his name or offshoots. i wish this guy had never "seized the day" and had stayed in his room smoking pot all day. you talk about trendy, the guy has created his own line of trendy trendsetters down to the well. i mean, who the hell can button these coats? like i'm supposed to pay more money for something that's backwards and doesn't really work because he has a phobia of buttons that he developed while seizing the day. and "continues" what does that mean anyway? everything continues even if your dead so what are you trying to tell me bro? and i think we can thank him for the concept of shit being old and rotten and one step away from the garbage, but hey, we're going keep that. why? bc it never goes on sale. thanks bro [Y]

                      you should see the MA+ thread where the other half of my mind disagrees and wins.

                            Gucci.





                            I love some of their accessories, but the overall obnoxious air of the current Gucci phenom makes me want to wear clothes with no logo whatsoever for the rest of my life, if possible.
