Clothing brands you used to wear back in the day you wouldn't be caught dead in now...

This thread is a reminder of why I am working to make sure the designs my brand releases are timeless and not bound by the moment, a problem most of these dead brands suffered from. We aren't pushing the name of our brand, preferring to represent the name in clean and unique designs that convey the same message. Too many labels want you to wear a name, a brand, an identity that many people may not feel comfortable stepping out and advertising. Gucci makes some hot product, but do I want to rock a shirt that says Gucci? No. These labels lacked the creativity to branch out from the promotion of their brand name into the creation of an aesthetic that was as conceptually strong as it was marketable. The designs we release have to be timeless, the kind that can be worn 4 years from now and still have brehs going :leon:

:unimpressed:

I don't have any tshirts with a big azz logo or name brand on it

Most of y’all too young to remember the knockoff black bart fashion of the early 90s.

This era isnt any better. Everyone is looking like a carbon copy with that adidas hoodie and joggers with some nmd r1s, yeezys, tie dye and rock and metal shirts :mjlol:pastel colors, Dad hats and airmaxes. ripped up skinnies. Off white was cool for a minute then they blew up. I do fukk with some of the new Jordans and Nikes but its just too oversaturated at this point. I like wearing different shyt.:yeshrug:edit: boosts in general and zipper pants too :mjlol:

youre crazy . This skinny jean era is way better than the 2009 Hollister and bright colors skinny jean era

sign of the times...but ya in hindsight some of that shyt is :mjpls:

I remember the first one and the last shirt he posted as well as other variants...I have no idea what those middle 2 shirts are

I had the first shirt he posted...I whited out the gold teeth and used a fabric marker to give him a flattop w/ a part in it lol...africa medallions were a thing back then so I left that as is...I also drew polka dots on his shirt (kwame lol)...that set mine apart from everybody else who was rocking them same shyts
