Jim Jones thinks Urban Fashion Brands are knockoffs

[I Really Mean It]

I kind of understand where he’s coming from, inasmuch as many “urban” brands lacked an identity of their own, chasing trends rather than releasing apparel that was comfortably original.

 

[jerzboy]

He’s right to an extent. That was what was dope about hip hop early on. Was taking something and flipping it their own way, thus adding style to it.

 

[jerzboy]

Also adding I agree with his statements about a lot of those lines. I think of all the “urban” brands, the only one that didn’t get clowned was Enyce, and Mecca. The Sean John shyt could sometimes fly, but most people weren’t really rocking the other shyt

So Jimmy jazz up in harlem was not urban

The average person in the hoods of new york is no different than people out in the midwest. They just had access to shyt earlier then but most people go with the trends. And most people black, hispanic and white was wearing roca wear, sean jean etc. Idk what this dude is talking about

sad to think we did everything so right merchandising wise back in the 90s from a hiphop perspective. only to end up where we are now.

How was sean jean and roca wear vultures
The people associated with them did more to advance the culture than most. It's a good thing they made something from it

A TON of people rocked Rocawear. Akademics, too. He’s bullshyting if he’s saying brehs in NY weren’t fukking with Rocawear.
