Why hasn’t the south created any fashion trends that the rest of us black folks can enjoy?

The pic of Biggie rocking bape is cool but that was not his jacket. He didn’t know anything about the brand, he just saw the jacket and liked it. There was no Bape made in his size.

This thread is about the south making an impact. Biggie is synonymous with Versace shades & coogi sweaters, breh.

i know the back story

point is that bape was already circulating around nyc

the only storefronts stateside it was in early on were in nyc

Nikka dressed like he on a WeMobbin DVD from 2009 just needed a grey bottom

@K.O.N.Y your comment of mixing designer and urban wear immediately made me think of this:

I’m from Atlanta, we’ve always been fresh people but I can’t say we have started trends. Since the advent of hiphop, we all pretty much dress the same though.

Bro 5 page in: why hasn’t anyone answered the question?


All I got is delusional by @Breh Obama

lies by @Premeditated

and excuses by @Doobie Doo

And a response or white tee and pants sagging.


@BrothaZay can you help them out?

UK is in what continent? Jay-Z is from where?

You stupid muthafukkas can never keep up.

Nikka who the fukk cares what continent it’s from?

It was a NY’er Dapper Dan that made all that high end European shyt hip-hop and urban wear so much so that Gucci had to cut that check and hire him after persecuting him.

It’s not where a brand is from its who made it hot

Nike and Timberland are from cac ass Oregon and Massachusetts but who made them hot

Jay Z is 50 years old nikka and probably has a stylist he doesn’t represent shyt

What was the last black fashion trend started by New York? I don't think y'all been relevant outside of NYC since the mid 2000's

Virgil Abloh and all his children are Chicago based btw.

My cousins who are all heavy into fashion and got their own brands popping regard Atlanta as the current black fashion mecca too.

The reason the store was built wasn’t because of NY nikkas claiming them. That’s my point.

It took nikkas from the south to build up the brand for the store to be built.

Why isn’t fashion week located in the south since most black folks live down there and are “fashionable”?

Black people in NY can’t take credit for fashion week. The most fashionable black people are from DC anyway though.

yea southern urban fashion is legit horrible , especially outside of the large metro areas that have a lot of transplants to balance out the wild shyt
are southern brehs still rocking sponge bob tees with fruity loops colorways

I mean that’s going to be any where, outside a metro area, it’s not a lot of malls, and only so much you can get, nikka woke up and chose to fukk with y’all, some stuff is regional some stuff is universal, and you pick and choose according to taste

Even if NY took fashion from UK. Why does the south care and how does that benefit them. Don’t southern cats on this board religiously make fun of UK people.

word to sas & even d.block.europe

it's a distant relatives type deal

we come from similar backgrounds nyc/(euro)uk/canada

bag of nikkas from caribbean & african families

nyc just has the largest most influential branch of the family

yall nikkas got an excuse for everything just to chase after the allure of being on top. It’s over for y’all

just admit you don’t have a style for the masses anymore. You had to go back to Dapper Dan as an example to stay afloat.
