"Factual ideas" - Oh man... "Brown nosing brands" - What on earth are you reading? Surely they can't be my posts. You've somehow drawn this conclusion from what I've said? Wow. 

More absurdity. More lazy comparisons. At this point, I'd just be repeating several points I've already made (if I haven't already). I don't feel like doing that.

You're reading things in a negative tone. I'm simply trying to provide context to some of these disingenuous, faux-luxury, instagram brands out there fooling you. I thought I'd post about one who I noticed popping up here more often than others. There's plenty. Now, the fact you're trying to...

"you coming in here saying SLP and all these other brands have originality is ridiculous for the most part." - Another straw man fallacy from you that implies a couple of really absurd things. I'm not going to bother breaking this down. Listen, it really doesn't take someone who's worked in...

The fact you think I'm putting forth some type of "only buy from established, big brands/corporations like Saint Laurent, Gucci, etc." is just ridiculous and is purely a straw man fallacy. Everything I've said has flew right over your head. I actually sew and create a lot my clothes by the...

I can't believe some of the points you just attempted to make. Wow. Plain and simple: Mike Amiri is a fraud. He's not a real designer whatsoever. Have you not any of my posts on this subject? The fact you think he deserves a "pass" on being grossly unoriginal is just appalling to me. The guy...

Quote: Seriously? That's something my 14 year old brother and tons of hypebeasts would've wanted to make back in 2011 when python skin was super trendy. If you're going to use python skin, don't just frivolously layer it under some basic ripped jeans (epitome of tacky) or apply such an...

I know you’re playing devil’s advocate, but I’ve got to add to what was mentioned by @JackStacks .. Saint Laurent is a storied, highly acclaimed fashion house. They have real designers and creatives on board who've paid their dues and learned from some of the best design schools in the world...

The color rush uniforms will be puke inducing for just about every team except for the Raiders (assuming they're all black).

No european players. There'd probably be an expansion draft. As a player I'd be pissed if I got picked to play there.

Alright, I have to chime in on something I’ve seen throughout this thread. I’ll preface this by saying I’ve been in the high-end fashion industry for 15 years, working in NYC, LA and Milan primarily as a production manager and doing pattern making, cutting and grading - both freelance and for...
