Virgil Abloh says Streetwear is going to die out

[tr1ll]

I think by dead Virgil is talking about what the "Fashion" crowd is wearing & under that pretense he is correct & you've already started to see that.

I walk through soho daily and see kids in a completely different Aestethic then streetwear, they may still borrow elements but it's grown way past hoodies & T-Shirts

That new aesthetic IS the new streetwear.

I wouldn't say that at all, while a lot of stuff does mix match nowadays, his point was that kids aren't going to just stick to the traditional looks of streetwear & that is already in process

A hoodie with jnco size plaid yellow pants and orthopedic sandals ain't streetwear.

Or maybe the issue is that it ain't US streetwear, but Chinese streetwear.

They are dictating the changimg trends. Enough people over there buying clothes to sway the market.

The culture around streetwear will never die thus streetwear WILL NEVER DIE.

However, the cornballs appropriating streetwear will grow out of it and move on.

Lo lifes don't have this problem

You mess with stone island?

All that off-white crap gonna die out just like triple 5 soul or LRG.

Virgil knows his off-white brand is just and trend, all trends die and die hard when the next wave comes up. Enjoy while it last. Cause most of the stuff he puts out is arts and crafts clothes.

Went to a club the other night. And majority of people wearing sweats and tights, cut up jeans and the baggy tacky look.

Saw a cat in sweats and timbs. I asked bruh if he was from NY. This MF was from Oak Cliff Texas

 

[you go boy]

they also said the sneaker bubble would die soon

Off white has moved beyond only loud colors and big branding tho, He has started to focus in on the cut & sew stuff more which has more of a timeless look

This is why I never wore graphic t's. Just stuck with button-ups, flannels, hoodies, and woven sweaters. Only logos I have in my closet is North face, Nike, and Gap.

I like it, but too expensive for me still. Never paying those prices for clothes again.

Wear what you want and worry less about others opinions

Neither was skinny jeans in 2002. Once upon a time Stussy was available in JCPenny’s. My point it that **** evolves. Streetwear is more than graphic tees and brand collabs. That just what it is(was) now.

There has always been an equivalent to streetwear and I don't see that changing

 

[Platinum State]

Doesnt he mean high priced streetwear will die? As in bape and supreme 1000$ t shirts and not regular streetwear. Thats how I took it anyway

 

[wayniac211]

Street wear died when they tried to hybrid into high fashion. stay in yo lane and don’t try to think like those euro trash.
Read something about Burberry burning their extras rather than send it to clearance racks.

Yep. High luxury brands burn up their B-Grade ish.

Streetwear is dying in some places



and just starting in others.

Who cares honestly, if you like it— wear it.

One thing I noticed about NT the last 20 years, people around here wear what they want anyway.

NT denim is the only true eternal trend.

That’s business not fashion.

They said the same thing when crooks n castles, the hundreds and lrg were popular too and it’s more popular than ever now. Brands and the styles will tho

But if you look at those brands and all the other Karmaloop type brands (and even how the 'prestige' of BAPE kinda went down) vs. the landscape now.

High fashion definitely kinda infiltrated streetwear and made brands like that look "silly".

Lmaoooo
Cracks me up
When these lames
Who grew up wearing street brands
Think they bigger than life
And can get them out the paint
REAL fashion
Goes through the streets FIRST
