Quote: oh yeh and Shoegirl how is paying a reseller $1200 for a shark hood supporting the designer or label?

it doesn't, at all. i never said anything about resellers.

i brought it up cause i think its a valid argument against buying fakes, AND i think it's a good reflection of the design process as a whole.

not too much experience, im just well educated on this subject!

but yeah, definitely show me the designs you come up with for girls.

yeah i think so, at least eventually. maybe test the waters with the variety you have and see which ones sell best or are the most impacting on people. then, narrow it down to a few, and ultimately, one that works best.

and it IS fresh, but i think it can also dilute the power of a brand.

man, youre bringing up about a thousand different issues now hahah

no no, i think the designs themselves are great. i just mean in terms of consistency, because you have what looks like a million different logos. if you look at really effective and successful brands, i think they pick one and go with it. you know?

and if the reason you're not buying the real thing is because of limited edition production or its too expensive, then you should think about the reasons the designer and manufacturer decided to do that, like maintaining a standard of exclusivity

it just doesnt seem to make sense if you're genuinely interested in the design. why wouldnt you support the actual person making it?

the stuff all looks awesome

i only have one recommendation, and that is to streamline your logo design. there are way too many different styles all over the place.

if you really care about the design of the product, you should try and aim to compensate that designer in some way- i.e. BUY THEIR PRODUCTS, and not something created by an exploited laborer in a third world country, produced by someone co-opting the work and integrity of another designer

i think generally when people shell out a lot for a certain item, its because they like the quality that comes with it. you're not going to get the same quality with a knock off, ever. and then, you're just buying it cause its trendy, and to me, thats kind of silly.

it really, really depends on what you're looking for out of your "college experience." personally, i dont care much for football games or keggers or even being on a campus, because being surrounded only by students really seems boring to me. for me, college is more about preparing for a career, and i think that being in an urban environment and treating school as work will help me with that. i recommend visiting a few schools that offer degree programs and classes that youre interested in, in different settings (urban/suburban/rural) and seeing which feels most right for you.

i showed it to my mother who's persian and she couldnt make it out. she said the way its photographed, you can't really make out the entire words.

HAHAHHAA PLEASE BE WHO I THINK IT IS

those are ridiculously cute. do you remember the name of the store? i could go sometime and check

i absolutely agree

the monogram itself isnt, even though there's definitely more of it around now than ever (i think)

its the rainbow brutalization and excess of it thats trendy
