Well, maybe "posting fits" and being trendy go hand in hand. And maybe being comfortable with yourself and your style and NOT posting pics of yourself go hand in hand. Just sayin'.Originally Posted by DJ Proto J

Does that make you a trend setter or sheep?
actually, i got pix from early last summer where i did it b4 i saw kanye do it, i can prove it (i could take a screenshot of the dates on the pix from my iphoto and you can compare that date to when we first saw kanye doing it). it was as simple as i wore a chambray shirt over a white v-neck to a club and it got too hot so i tied the chambray around my waist (had no choice really, i wasn't DJing, was just out with my girl) and thought to myself it looked pretty cool when i saw the pix later... a few months later i saw kanye doing it too (but i doubt he did it cuz it got hot one night, lol, he prolly just liked that look, whether he came up with it, or saw some hipsters doing it or something, who knows)...
it's not hard to come up with lil' stuff you think looks cool, and by coincidence someone else did it too (celebrity or not), without ever seeing the other do it (happens all the time actually)... i don't mess with everything kanye does, but i think i have similar tastes in some respects (which is why i dig a lot of his styles, but obviously his being dumb rich enables him to mess with designer stuff i can't fathom), so it's inevitable i will do something similar, whether it's influenced by him or not.
but even if i did directly bite him on it, SO WHAT? i never claimed to not be influenced by others, on the contrary i've been the one saying I AM and so what!?! why can't you see something you think looks cool and rock it? nothing wrong with it at all (every single person around here does it)... everyone is influenced one way or the other, whether they will admit it or not...
adam lambert... LOL! this dude got jokes... i hate that dude... almost as much as i dislike you, mogulson/champon...
fam hop off.

but see, that's my whole point... why not effect you none? why not if it's something you like? don't do it just cuz it's popular, that's where the lameness lies, that's where cats can legit be called a hypebeast. do it ONLY if you actually like it, whether it's popular or not, if it fits your style.
there seems to be this common misconception around here that all people who follow trends at all are sheep and hypebeasts, but that's just simply not the case (and what's funny is almost all of those finger pointers follow trends themselves, in some way).
i don't get on something just cuz it's popular. perhaps cuz it's popular is how and why i saw it, but if i get up on it it's cuz i genuinely like it (or it grew on me over time, like slim fit jeans for example)... there's NOTHING wrong with that. it's VERY common, in fact i'd argue that even the most "original" dressing cats do it in some form (they're inspired by something)... fresh clothes, shoes, and styles are just another something fun to mess with once you grow up imo (after video games, comics, toys, and other more childhood like activities), just like music, and art, etc...
and it's just a fact that kanye is a style icon. above all celebrites, dude can wear a pair of jordans and all the sudden that particular model and colorway will legit go up in value. i wouldn't say i look up to him, but i respect him for taking chances with styles that he knows will have backlash at first, and i relate to his taste in shoes and clothes (somewhat, not all)... i also respect his infiltrating the fashion world abroad like he has, even with a women's line. his boy virgil recently tweeted "Kanye is a fashion designer. He raps and makes beats sometimes."... i think he's really just getting started, and will unfortunately get the most respect when he's dead and gone, like most others.
illphillip, i know we've flung some insults b4, but props for just having a simple, healthy, mature debate in here, instead of the norm.
not even gonna address mogulson/champon/lubu1 up there... he's straight trolling, as usual.
and dammit about the super red asics getting posted in here.that's the last thing us asics collectors need, they're getting harder and harder to get ahold of for retail cuz of resellers and beasts...
