I think we had a whole copying discussion somewhere - maybe time to resurrect it.

in some RO cuts an XL fits true to size, like a 52, is that really too small? for example in the moto-collar type, I have an L but could fit an M, and I'm close to a size 50."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."

. . .
aren't you the guy who made that comment about overlock stitching being the same thing as the guccissima?
you're notion of equivalency is really confounding

If i had an english copy of platon here,i'd quote him.. seems like i have to skip the part of trying to appear smart.
Obviously there is a difference between walking into a big departmentstore and a small store...not that i'D care. I won't preach about the big and evil fashion industry here, since that would be utterly pointless anyways. My only point was that behind all mentioned labels stands, in varrying degrees, the fashion industry, and I personally don't feel inclined to defend their rights. Bad experience has thought me not to.
And of course a rip-off is not the same..how trival is that. However that doesn't rule out the possiblity you can look good in it. And maybe that's ruthless, but that's all i care for. Sure the original _might_ look better, but if funds dictate a compromise, compromise it is.
Now i won't say ppl here act like that.. but go buy a d&g t-shirt. There's more identity shit around it than fabric. Of course it is a good marketing strategy, but authenticy in and by itself should not be the argument to dismiss a fake (well if u ignore the legal side that is *lol). that's all i am trying to say.
and i won't even start on the overlock stitching..at least not in this thread here.And through their parting lids there came and went
Keen glimpses of the inner firmament

What happened to people saving up for things they wanted? What happened to real desire? I've been a member of Superfuture for going on four years now and have been a Raf / Rick / Etc... addict for perhaps just as long. It took me three years of saving andthrifting and re-selling to finally be able to start affording their pieces (even on eBay) like the Rick Sneakers / Jacket I bought just recently. I still can't afford a Rick leather - although if I start saving again I could in a year or two most likely. I could probably buy a Black Scissors jacket right now, but I'm not going to. Why? Because I have standards.
Which I thought was the entire point of this forum.
So dress yourself in Diesel Gold and Korean rip-offs. i hope you understand why the rest of us - maybe even those of us who think you "look good" - will never respect you for it.
