Why does the Black community depreciate Black clothing brands while putting white clothing brands on a pedestal?

[gurf]

It can be said that the urban brands historically didn't stand the test of time because they didn't diversify their offerings
It was streetwear; jeans, tees, maybe hoodies that's it

this.

All these brands you are talking about simply didn't evolve when trends changed.

The ones that did survive.

Off white?

FUBU and Karl Kani were not Hip Hop related brands like Sean John and Phat Farm, that's a lie u just told. Hip Hop embraced those brands but they were not Hip Hop brands.

Abercrombie is still on 5th Avenue...that aint going nowhere.

And aint nobody gonna look at you funny if you went outside wearing Guess or Nautica like they would if u wore Karl Kani or FUBU. FACTS.



Also...U never answered the question in the OP.

I didn't answer the question because I don't believe it has merit or is accurate. You premise is wrong and I established why. The bolded is absolutely NOT facts

Well others do and have given answers so that's all that really counts.

Oh look, another subtle "shyt on black folks for not doing what I want them to do" thread.

I think the biggest thing with many of these Black designers is that a lot of stuff is hot at the moment but a) don't evolve with the times b) expand their offerings.

Sean Jean and Steve Harvey are the 2 brands that did the best at this. Steve Harvey used to be looked at almost like zoot suit but the newer designs are more modern and are solid quality same with Sean Jean.

Karl Kani still makes a solid polo imo.

OP mail me all your Gucci and Prada

for the cause

Real talk, all these black brands start out by catering to 15% of the population, all the rest are catering to 50%+. Which ones do you think will survive?

They gotta deversify. Sean John did, and they seemed to last longer than most of the others.

I probably should have said you didn't like my response.

It's mostly a clothes thing. I used to be on that "why do we worship white names" train but i've noticed it's not on everything.

It's the sexy european sounding names. I don't know, the brands always seem to sound very high class. 'Gucci' 'Balenciaga' ' Louis Vitton'.

I believe people like to wear stuff made by 'interesting' and 'sophisticated' personalities. Like not just because it's good clothes. Which is why when Kanye's image was still him being a 'misunderstood but brilliant genuis' his stuff sold extremely well.

Also the fashion guys like Raulph Lauren or Calvin Klein always stay mysterious and say very little. They try not to kill the mystique and like to act "high class" to protect the image.

Kanye's transition into fashion was well executed, too bad he's too unstable.

Designs were wack

 

[Gains]

all those clothes are made in sweat shops overseas
