At the upper echelon or a tier above. I know Lorenzo bills his brand as "American Luxury".Does Fear of God falls under that umbrella too?
Whats JE?
YOHI and Issey should be higher. They've been in the field. And where Rick@?
Looks about right. Tier 3 - seems to be casual-luxe perhaps.
That’s good question - what define these brands outside of price and age…popularity?
Curious where would RL Purple falls into ?
Also, what made you put OW over Wang?
Issey, Yohji and Raf involved in everything. They are the same tier imo. They got their main line and sub-lines. For example I see Y-3 in the list as opposed to the mainline. Gotta add the mainline if we want to be fair. I would even move up FOG into tier 2.Wang has lower price points, OW wouldve been 3 if it didnt blow up as much as it did before (not so hot now but I think it deserves to be in 2 still). So I guess popularity does factor to an extent but probably affects tier 2 and 3 more than 1. 1 is like really established fashion houses.

vetements should be on tier 18 for way overpriced luxury trash, i dont even consider it luxury actually
just above camo
for the list, if its simply based on price point then FoG and Rhude got to be tier 2 but also in terms of “luxury-ness” then they belong up there too if acne, ami, ow, amiri, etc… are up there
if anything i feel Acne and Ami price points are actually slightly lower than FoG and Rhude
it gets difficult really because you can put .5 like burberry, its got to be tier 1 with gucci and prada but theyve been slippin so tier 1.5 makes sense (theyre just simply not in that level anymore), i am not sure if prorsum still exist because if it does then i guess burberry prorsum can be placed on tier 1 and regular burberry on tier 2, there was also burberry brit before and im not sure if it still exists but diffusion lines can make it even more confusing
like rick can be in 3 tiers, mainline rick owens, drkshdws and then all the not exactly cheap collabs
Yeah, exactly know what you mean. I put Acne in 2 and Rhude in 3 for example cause while Rhude does have similar pricepoints if not more expensive, Rhude is fairly new, Acne is more established? Also when a brand is really streetwear oriented idk, it makes me lean towards a lower “tier”. Its not so much designer in terms of actual design than it is just a brand with expensive price points. Know what I mean?
Thats why I find it hard for the right criteria, or how to explain it right. And I agree with the Burberry sentiment, its not hot and isnt same level as say Balenciaga but it IS an established fashion house with a long history, so popularity does play a role but also history.
I tried yall.
Wish there was a poll kinda thing I could do to get votes on the brands that are more debatable than others.
What’ is chrome hearts classified as lolAt Barneys we’d classify those brands (JE, FoG, OW even) as “Developing Designer”. Basically a tier below true luxury designer brands (YSL, Balenciaga, LV).

Rhude and FOG been dabbling in menswear. The streetwear aspect is what got it popular, but Menswear portions will help push them to another level imo hence why I said they belong in a higher tier.
theres definitely going to be a lot of grey area especially without a hardened category or qualifications
being an established house cant just hold you to the same level as LV for example which did lose it spopularity but it never budged up top because they never tried to cater to cheapening their items to make a profit and in some brands cases, to stay alive
ralph lauren for example, its a long withstanding house with greta history and probably Americas most famous designer but RL itself is probably tier 3, purple label can probably be put in tier 1 but 1.5 seems more appropriate to my eye
though difficult, creating tiers is a fun exercise so im all for it
i mean i did start a designer sneakers bracket at StyleForum maybe a decade ago
