Are *most* black owned/"urban" clothing brands just knock offs?

[Belgium]

Still trying to understand the infatuation some black folk have for these "high fashion" European clothing brands.

I think the key factor is just that they're very expensive and a status symbol.

Camron, Jim Jones. and Juelsz Santana started a whole wave in the early 2000s.

DipSet was something serious.

[ahat]

Still trying to understand the infatuation some black folk have for these "high fashion" European clothing brands. Jimmy and all these cats go as far as mimicking their logos.

We set the trends but we don't own the means of production. Just consumers making others rich.

Ish is sad

The funniest is when rappers are all homophobic and **** but go out and spend thousands on clothing designed by a gay white man

They buy those clothes so women will pay attention to them. Not all women, just the materialistic ones.
