can someone explain to me why fubu flopped?

1. I don't know Daymond john from adam. If I knew him well enough to tell he was a c00n I woulda called him a c00n.
2. Read entire posts before you respond to them.
   
3. I will kill you if I see you in real life.

Have a nice day.

Typical coli mentality.
"He trusted the white man that's why he failed"
If you don't know what your talking about you shouldn't go spewing out dumbass speculations with no merit.

It has been covered, but urban fashion comes and goes in waves, especially since our population is small relative to other demographics.

If you want to worry about where your next check is coming from, limit your brand to 11-14% of the population, if it is even able to go national.

The brands that have longevity can be put on at any time and mix with vintage and contemporary fashion wear.

I have a closet with a fex Avirex jackets and Steve Madden hoodies from when I was a kid. Wouldn't wear that clown shyt today, big ass

lettering and such. Fubu fell to the wayside because Black folks weren't on that wave anymore. I think it gets more play in Japan now

than in the USA. 99% of Urban fashion is trash.

here's my post.....

Don't get it twisted... America is 67% white and only 14% black

If you want to make money in this country, you are going to limit your profits, the second you become, blacks only aka "urban." You've immediately lost 67% of your potential customer base, in one move.

You wonder why there's not a lot of black success in certain industries.. It's not racism every time.. It's money.. Why put on a black tv show when over half the population ain't gonna watch it? Martin was the greatest, but did it ever beat seinfeld in the ratings? nope not even close

All these clothing brands been around for hundreds of years... Find a black owned clothing that was popular 5 years, that's still popular today... none.. cause we switch styles and tastes so fast... shyt becomes "played out" and you're finished. Meanwhile Polo been selling polo's to the same people for 70 years or some shyt. Cause a simple polo won't ever go out of style

You notice when rappers start selling the most? When they get a rack of white and foreign fans.. A world tour is the biggest thing you could ever do.. cause it shows you can reach more than your hood, coast, country

That's why we are an international brand. That's why we have white models, black models, spanish models and working on getting some asian ones. Vicki Duong what size you wear lol??

Seriously though. Globalize your brands and make it accessible and interesting for EVERYONE and you won't have to limit yourself to 14% of the MARKET=MONEY
