From Niketalk to graphic tee’s to the head of LV menswear. That’s undoubtedly the finesse of the century.

So these high fashion brands just didn't want to deal with Kanye or is it the fact that these brands are copying street wear now?

Been copying streetwear since street wear. What you think a 40+ something European/French high lux CEO know about streetwear?

No? Look at his yeezy fashion line... **** is incredibly boring and uninspired. HM and Zara basically sell the same torn stuff for 1/100th of the price

Lmaoo at people still trying to **** on Ye as if Virgil isn't his right hand man. They are all fighting the same fight. If Kanye doesn't go ham & calling out those fashion brands, If he doesn't gain traction at Adidas. Him & his crew have Changed the direction of "Luxury" fashion in a snap.

For the culture
agreed. but virgil's designs are whack. the only good thing he has ever done was the nike collab and even that "deconstructed" idea was stolen..

One hell of a opportunity for his resume.
One hell of a gamble for LV. They fell for the hype.

All these brands change creative directors every few years anyway. If Virgil is hot for the next 5 years only then makes sense tog rab him now.
Off-White is THE luxury streetwear brand right now. Balenciaga and Gucci are hot yes, but their pricepoints are double-triple OW.
Branding is everything right now. OW arguably the king of that, im a big fan. Makes sense LV would do it.
