HIGH-END DESIGNER SHOE/CLOTHES/ACCESSORIES/WAYW THREAD

it's not even the popularity that i have a problem with, it's the fact that their popularity incentivized them to compromise the craftsmanship that helped make them popular to begin with
 
but are you willing to wait a year or two to get your item and pay 10x retail?

and id argue that its not the handpainted pattern that made them popular, its the print itself and monogram that made them popular, let spades be spades its the hypebeast thing that got them popular

id argue 90% of the buyers probably doesnt know their history or it was handprinted to begin with these days

hell how many these days knows LV used to exclusively make trunks?

who doesnt want their clothes handstitched? their shoes handmade? their watches handcrafted?

i miss when goyard canvas used to actually be cool and hand-painted, but ever since their popularity blew up in the early 2000s, they switched over to a mass-produced screen-printed version that looks more consistent, but way less...meaningful? like what's the point of this intricate dot pattern if it's just screen printed on?

But the current looks better?
 
going back to logo belts, i never really minded them but i do have one of this memories of a salesman at NM, it was probably before the og thread of hti got started but dude was just on a very well tailored suit and has the LV belt and just always thought it was super sleek and clean

i never thought it to be some brand marketing because it just worked and it was such a clean look

i dont know, thats just ingrained in my brain at an early stage that logos never bothered me if it isnt too crazy

this isnt the look the salesman was rockin but i like how this is pulled off, almost a modern day zoot suit i guess? but i thinkt he belt works

Gucci's New Sneakers Cost Only $12 USD but Are Only Available Virtually

The Italian luxury fashion house is officially announcing its debut AR sneakers made available for purchase for just $11.99 USD virtually.


The digital Gucci shoe, which goes for either $8.99 USD on Wanna’s app or $11.99 USD on Gucci’s app, is able to reach a broader audience range. Different from NFTs, there will be an unlimited quantity of shoes that are interchangeable between consumers.

In recent weeks, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have made headlines, drawing large sales on the digi-sphere. Wanna CEO, Sergey Arkhangelskiy predicts AR technology will only continue to grow stating, “In five or maybe 10 years a relatively big chunk of fashion brands revenue will come from digital products. Our goal as a company is to actually supersede the product photos … and substitute it for something which is way more engaging and closer to offline shopping.”
 
its very different because i think theyre trying to make it a digital collectible like nba top shot which if became a limited edition gon' be profitable

lv x lol are just skins that's playable, you cant really trade/sell it for a profit which this might eventually do with these guccis

the article you quoted literally says it's an unlimited quantity of the item

real money trading for digital goods (in game items/currency) is nothing new, regardless of whether or not it's officially supported by the platforms it takes place on--diablo 2, world of warcraft, final fantasy xi/xiv, etc. all have tons of third party communities of players exchanging digital goods for cash. the trend these days is accounts on various digital collection games (that are particularly popular on mobile) like granblue fantasy, fate/go, hearthstone, overwatch (skins) etc. that have already "collected" rare items/characters/skins/cards that can only be obtained through in-game slot machines, and the prices of these digital goods are definitely inflated by rarity

some game developers have taken this behaviour in stride and created marketplaces for digital goods within their platforms eg valve's steam marketplace for items like profile stylizations, hats in team fortress 2, and weapon skins in cs:go, or blizzard's diablo 3 real money auction house (before they shut it down) but most publishers have given up on this idea because the monetization model of slot machines that drop random cosmetics (lootboxes), that can't be easily transferred between users is far more lucrative as it keeps the money going to the publishers rather than moving between users, even if it means the vast majority of users aren't enraptured by a slot machine addiction
