Finally a drop for people who don't have the energy or imagination to determine their own mantra or credo in life!
I'm good with any school-of-thought/philosophy, so long as comes in my size!
H2WhoahYou know, I think I'd prefer a sweatshirt with a whiteboard stuck to the front so I could erase and update my important-messages-to-the-world as the mood struck me.
H2WhoahI think these designs are really great and can give a sense of identity to introverted people with anxiety and that is a fantastic thing. Thanks for providing this link! I know a few people who will love this
RayFYou know... fashion has been a form of self-expression ever since people put teeth on necklaces, or wore the mark of their tribe or religion. If you don't like it, I'm sure there's a million plain white tee shirts available for sale.
H2WhoahI don't like them, I thought I made that clear by thumbing my nose at them and the people who might buy them?
On the other hand, I simply cannot wait for the next Teeth on a Necklace drop! That's the sort of unambiguous fashion statement I'm all about!
CaddyWhompKind of reminds of that scene in Apple's "1984" commercial where the people are dressed the same. These sites/drop offer a few variations on a common theme--different flavors of cookies, but very little variety among the cookie-cutters.
RayFIs there a brand like this that you do find you like? Or is it the imagery and text that plainly state the interests of the wearer (whether it's genuine or how they want to be perceived), that makes this unappealing to you? I agree that variation in fashion has dwindled down to basically nothing, and so I rarely wear anything that has a logo or design on it but newer brands have to put out things that the masses will buy to build a solid foundation before taking risks right? All puns were unintentional in this post.
CaddyWhompI don't think they state the anything of or about the wearer. In this and other cases, the wearer simply regurgitates what the manufacture states. Makes no difference if he tacitly agrees with the statement, he's allowed someone else to conceive the thought (if any) behind it. There's no fashion involved in any of this--it's marketing.
As for me, having spent many years in the industry, and as a former fashion maven myself, I've come to anticipate the unavoidable dips and lows in the world of fashion. My advise during these lean times is to revert to the traditional side of the spectrum. For instance, one is never out of place in a classic "I'm with stupid" t-shirt."
RayFWe're good, but thanks for the offer! We'll let you stick to what you're good at - endless criticism of products you have no interest in. We'll keep doing our thing and connecting with new people each month :)
Compas_TimOh I'm pretty handy with the complimentary comments/opinions/reviews too (got a whack of 'em under my belt). Then again, with your dull and duller offerings, I'm guessing you wouldn't have seen many of those. Don't take it personally--the world is full of also-ran merchandise and from what I hear, that shit sells too!
H2WhoahI love SHC! They do such a great job with their artwork. I own the "No Go Out Association" tee, but I sadly I don't think they sell that one anymore. I found an image of the patch version.
It's true - once my son walked out of his room wearing a Slayer tee - I immediately disowned him for worshiping Satan and corrupting the youth of america. Since that awful day, we only wear beige tarps from Walmart to ward off further catastrophe - but today I saw a newspaper ad for tommy hilfiger and shit myself in rage.
RayFWhile generally negative, I find your input very interesting and it’s a good thing overall to be able to express opinions that aren’t 100% in line with expectations. Thanks for answering my question
