worst (sufu) waywt fits

Ye, you're right. I also took a look at the waywt thread and discovered more UC than I remembered. But people like epoc and homme.homme also been wearing UC long before bacon.

What I consider sufu trends is when almost everybody is embracing one particular item. So it's got more to do with items rather than brands as far as I see it. We always (as long as I've lurked at least) been up on HL, MMM, Raf, Jun, n(n), Ann D etc. etc. But suddenly there is one item from one brand that everybody cops. Ie. the Lanvin sneakers, the Supreme five panel, the Margiela gats, New Balance sneakers etc. And I guess the UU rider.

I've only been somewhat paying attention to the conversation that's been going on but I will say that a a couple of years would be ~2 years. The word 'couple' strongly indicates this.

that's a matter of semantics but if that's where you're going with this, so many people have known/been wearing uc since before bacon came along (even back when i first discovered sufu in '07) that it's mildly ridiculous to say that he set any sort of trend. comparatively, 2010 still seems pretty recent to me.

not that a person's style can't change a lot in the span of a couple of months but for the money i imagine he pays for his current wardrobe, dude definitely does not do a lot of his jawnz justice.

i zoned out then suddenly it was all big cocks in tight assholes and legendary orifices

[burgerking]

Duh. That's why all these chumps be buying Undercover.

really? when I think of uc, I think of mike lowery in his diaplex and bai in his knit rider, and that one streetstyle guy. I only know bacon talks about it a lot, but I don't think he set the trend. I'm not bashing on him in any way, what he does is dope, but in no way is he a trendsetter.

i was just uncertain of what a superfuture trend was because djrajio had christened bacon a "trendsetter." if he means trendsetter on the board, his claim or prediction could play out to be accurate. my whole deal was that i couldn't see "trend" setting because this is just how these asians do. they buy what is hot in japan.

as far as the a particular label's or designer's item being hot or a trend on superfuture i can definitely see what you are saying.

pr. obvious rajio wrote that to self-authenticate. can't call himself a trendsetter for wearing some weird/gaudy/costumey/borderline ugly shit cause he knows he'll get dumped on (rightfully so). hyping someone else doing the same is safer. only time will tell if this works; depends on how many "chumps" buy into it.

[bryanayrb]

anyone else want one while we wait for this discussion to end?

[SSchadenfreude]

just read djrajio's post more thoroughly. he referred to bacon as a "trend influencer" not "trend setter."

this actually changes things. my bad. influencing a trend is much much different than setting one.

I dunno what "these asians" do but I am not sure UC is that hot in Japan right now the way facetasm is. My understanding of what Rajio said is that, RIGHT NOW (doesn't matter if people knew about it/wore it before) UC is popular on styleforum and Baconzilla was one of the people who kickstarted that. He is getting a lot of positive feedback on his fits and prob a few emulators. Keep in mind that sufu has some posted fits and recent buys threads but what makes it important is the thousands of lurkers or relatively discrete posters who buy what they see in here. I wouldn't be able to quantify its impact on the american retail scene but I think that for some high-fashion/niche brands and retailers it is probably much higher than we'd think at first.

That fucking forum was introduced to Julius, Lad Musician and a bunch of Japanese brands that opened the floodgates of japanese fashion/styling fanboyism by a few key individuals, one of them rajio, so he definitely had a hand in shaping sufu aesthetic. I know it sorta sounds ludicrous nowadays as many of these brands are all around you but I was the first to post about a Julius purchase on stylezeitgeist (using sizing advice from rajio and a friend living in Japan, no retailers outside japan at the time) and everyone was like "woooaaa, this drapey shit is insane!".

[evisu 2000]

they used to sell julius/nuke, sabotage, lithium, tar etc on shop33 (next33)

Lithium=Lithium homme or whatever (the dh ripoff brand)?

tbh i wasn't even all that interested in talking about uc. i guess it just came up because baconzilla wears it alot? i don't know and don't really care. from what was said, i can fathom as to how an individual can influence forums. as far as nonjapanese asians hopping on japanese NOW brands, as you are probably aware this has been happening practically 4ever (again, there's nothing inherently wrong with this. good for japanese economy) so under this impression i didn't really feel that thephenomenon jacket was such a trend setting or influencing buy. it does however fit baconzilla fine imo. maybe he is influencing a trend on the forums, but i just felt that he was given a little too much credit for doing what alot of asians already do fairly typically. if someone does it very well or makes stuff his or her own, then by all means there is merit in that and they ought to be credited.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. A trendsetter on SUFU. Of course he's not in the general sense.

No one is saying you discovered UC but you certainly have had a large influence on the direction of this board recently whether its your intention or not. People will naturally emulate those that they admire/find inspiration. It's only natural.

my fault dude. keeping rocking whatever you like.

i don't know if its necessarily bacon influencing the purchases. baizilla and a bunch of other people have been wearing uc much better. i think the misconception stems from the fact that bacon is the most outspoken about his penchant for undercover, but from what i've seen there are lots of other people who wear/style their pieces in much more appealing ways (no hate, you're probably a very nice guy bacon).

just in general i think it's a shame to have nice clothes wasted on people who don't wear them well (nothing personal).

also about fuuma's comment about uc on styleforum: they're pretty much perpetually 2 years behind. looking at their waywt, cmon.
