I personally like to believe ( they used to by some of these "senior members" at least) that they were valued for reasons you can understand by reading through the CCP thread ( I encourage people to actually do so, not only look at the pics this time).
I don't mind people appreciating CH to the same extent, and I hope they do. Even Balmain or Givenchy if they're able to, but I don't really understand who they can evaluate the work ( not the history of the houses, the current work) at the same level.
I think it's a sign that what is currently going on in this category of fashion is not good enough when people who used to appreciate the ethos of the designers who created a whole new genre in mens fashion are now starting to dress more ironically. Too me irony can be fun, but is in this sense more of a sign of boredom and self-defence.
Each to his own, but I for once only find the whole dark street wear trend hilarious. This could have been a good look, but it's about nothing but signaling status and ballerness as usual with hip hop.It's just as shallow as what SZ tried to fight against. So please, if this place needs more ASAP, more SWAG, more Balmain, Givenchy and BALLINCIAGA I'm going to take my PYREX elsewhere.
i think there is room on sz to discuss all of the above as long as the discussion is heartfelt, meaningful, and respectful.
