Why Don’t Black Celebrities Wear Black Clothing Brands?

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Most celebrities wear what their stylists pull for them. Plus, European designer brands have been around longer, and give you more status. Plus, the companies pay them to wear it.

The quality of clothing at “designer” fashion houses like Gucci, Balenciaga, Burberry etc. has declined because they know their target audience has shifted. Now, everyone wearing “designer” ranges from middle class to poverty stricken. These brands used to make high quality clothes with minimal logos for rich people who wanted high quality clothes. Now, these designer brands sell marked up gaudy logo print garbage like screen print tees and hoodies to people who want to look rich. It’s a biproduct of cacs and nonblacks gentrifying classic urban style like Jordans, Nike AF1’s and Dunks in the past few years. Black people have to dress better than white people. You have to be twice as good to have half of what they have is the message pounded into the head and of black America. But other minorities as well. Them Asians was wearing “designer” everyday all day before everybody. Who wants to let cacs outdress them?

But cacs have intermarried baseball card collecting culture with fashion. Nobody was paying a thousand dollars for shoes ten years ago. Let alone sweatshop made Nikes and Jordans. People haven’t realized you can’t buy style just yet. That’s why you see they nondressing people out here wearing hyped ugly high resale value kicks with ugly ass Essentials hoodies and sweats. Most people can’t dress. And you can tell the new booties who weren’t into sneaker culture or urban swag at all a few years ago because they ain’t urban. Streetwear? You from the streets...where?

If you didn’t know those kicks retailed or resaled for $1500 would you say they were fresh? Like the resale or retail value of your fit doesn’t make it drip. It’s the originality, style, overall knowledge of what looks good on you and your ability to express your unique personality plus a level of exclusiveness. Not just exclusiveness for the sake of it. And yes, black designers are filling that void. Things go in cycles and I believe it will go back to that.

They do actually. All the time

Yup and will tag the designer/owner on IG, TikTok etc

OP back frustrated pushing a t-shirt brands in 2023 after a failed investment guru run.

people shouldn't wear shyt because it's Black made or owned unless they like it. stop the bullshyt. you can't guiltrip people into buying your trash

i remember when this forum was pretending BBB was a Black brand and shaming nikkaz for hating that goofy shyt come to find out the biggest investor wasn't even a breh and the company wasn't fulfilling it's orders.

Thank you! If I support a brand it's because I actually like/need the product not solely because the person behind it is black. I hate when someone tries to get me to support something and their only selling point is it's black owned. Not the product is something I need, the quality is good etc just it's black owned. My mom has gotten burned so many times and felt obligated to support even if the quality isn't good/the customer service isn't good

Idc who made it if the quality and customer service isn't good, I'm not giving them my money. I am the queen of I want a refund. I cancelled a subscription this morning because it wasn't what I thought it was

One brand I see tons of celebs support is Telfar. Telfar bags are not for me; I don't think they're cute, I prefer real leather and structured bags. With that said, I've bought my nieces a few of them. They love them, they aren't that expensive and I love that they come in damn near every color

 

[BushidoBrown]

what very prominent black apparel brands are out there today?
we used to have
- Sean John
- Rocawear
- Fubu
- Phat Pharm
then like Vokal Wu Wear, that OutKast brand, G Unit clothing which i think was a sub brand of reebok

what can u find in department stores today that are “black” brands of similar stature

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

nikkas gotta wear balenci and chrome hearts now

They barely even wear their own merch and clothing…they leave that for the broke boys

 

[Luke Cage]

Yup and will tag the designer/owner on IG, TikTok etc

Wear what you want. Problem is people want what the celebs advertise, and for some reason they exclusively market those euro brands. If yall are saying they do that because they are superior to any black brands, thats understandable. But not the case in my experience. They all get their stuff mass produced at the same factories overseas then plant their brandname on it

Nah, I never mention euro brands or said they were superior because they're not. My point was black celebs do support black brands and solely supporting things because it's black owned and negating the quality/customer service is not good. People can buy what they want but for me, it's always about the quality and customer service whether it's euro or black owned

A few off those “black brands,” were really owned by some white dj. Most memorable being Offwhite and heron Preston if I’m remembering right.

 

[-DMP-]

I think it would be more constructive to highlight black owned brands and celebs who have rocked brands like those.

I really don’t have a clue who out there like that.

 

[CrushedGroove]

Beyonce shouts out black designers and can be seen wearing their stuff. Like Telfair bags.

They got stylists and contracts so they not choosing. They getting paid not add any equity to Black Enterprise. Ever notice it’s not until a rapper or athlete gets signed then they instantly get and market a chain from a specific jeweler or brand? It’s part of the deal.

So they’d have to stay independent, away from agents, managers, public relations, stylists, etc. and thus forgo tons of guaranteed pay days or, effectively sell out and just play the game

Stay Woke
