"2 Years After They Broke the Internet, It Looks Like Nobody is Buying Vetements" via Highsnobiety

And more will follow in the next years.

I think that's beside the point, though. With Demna at Balenciaga, Virgil at Louis Vuitton, Luke at Jil Sander, (and I might be forgetting a few people?), the effects of the rise (and eventual fall) of luxury streetwear will have deep-lasting impact for high fashion.

Thanks for sharing!

They’re stupid for a while – that’s the definition of hype for y’all.

Bonus points for Demna looking like a white girl who just rolled out of Top Shop with a Nirvana hoodie and a Sisters tee.

God yes wtf is this outfit, epitomises well what the guy really is about.

I am not sure if anyone else feels this, but...

I feel about "fashion" the same way I feel about music lately. I find myself seeking old Majority Rule records and books by Alexis Marshall as opposed to trying to find substance in new bands/"artists".

I really can't understand why Greg Lauren or "New Carpe Diem" have had any kind of success...

To ve honest, I am starting to feel that age has a lot to do with it. I feel that the years when Hedi was at Dior Homme and CCP ruled the underworld were incredible. And that...nothing lately has that same passionate punch delivered.

Is it because I am getting old? Had I been born in the 70's would I be yearning for OG HL with the same passion? Or rather, is my thirst for quality subtanciated and is taste really going to shit?

[julian_doe]

Lol, a small example...

I fucking HATE the new DRKSHDW label.

I was born in the 70s and I have been yearning for OG Lang since 2005.
You're just old. As am I.

Hahaha, thank you for the clarification.

@julian_doe I don't think it's about age but rather about access. Everything is accessible right now, whatever comes out there is an immediate exposure, you and everyone else know what it is where it's from and how to get it. In the past there was somewhat of of a discovery process, everything wasn't easily found and readily available, there was at least a little bit of mystic (not trying to sound cliche or romantic).

Since you've mentioned music, there is quite a big vinyl revival going on in the last few years especially in minimal, micro tech, techno, deep house etc' people try to find rare tracks and bring out something that the crowd never heard. Some labels (genuine ones) release certain tracks that are not available to the public, since with beatport and discos you can literally get anything. A DJ still wants to have some element of surprise where the crowd has no idea what it being played.

^ To go on a tangent there's like a gazillion tracks on beatport, plennnnnty of rarities to be found there already. The whole vinyl release only jerkoff is fun but pretty moot imo.
