I think most WTF one for me was Michael Chow. I mean my knowledge of the fashion world is pretty myopic, but his description didn't even make him seem that relevant.

Originally posted by Jtothewhat View PostIt appears I stand corrected in regards to Visvim, I guess that their ''aesthetic'' is quite trendy in design circles at the moment, I was more so just focused on the brands individual commercial success where I seldom see it in anyway but those sneaker/moccasin shoes, but I suppose that is because I don't pay much attention to the brand and maybe live in the wrong place(s) to see its influence in person, though when looking at many labels SS15 collections it is pretty apparent (SLP like AKA*NYC pointed out). It is funny seeing a brand like Visvim who put a very Japanese spin on "Americana" aesthetics (see Visvim SS15) and then get ripped off by some American label doing an...American version of a Japanese take on Americana..Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

the footwear is a good starting point. visvim's fbt designs take after native american moccasins so it's possible that saint laurent found similar inspiration. the shoes below are saint laurent ss15.
compare with:
LOVE THE SHIRST... HOW much?

I definitely see similarities between Visvim and SLP, however, I think that the similarities comes from the source material. They're both channeling that range-riding american hero cowboy, but SLP is doing it more in the vain of spaghetti westerns; stylized and sexualized, whereas Visvim is staying more true to the source material but executing the whole look with razor-sharp precision of an "authentic" vision of that lifestyle.
