Being a gatekeeper and having esoteric qualities only shows how low self esteem you have without designer clothing. Would you have less confidence in a Hanes tee and slippers? 😭 lol actually I know the answer to that
@@aj2261 bruh it’s really not even that deep😂😂😒 people buy and collect clothes because they think it looks cool/good not because they need a boost in confidence while talking to someone
When I was teen I walked into a store while waiting for a local show to start. Unbeknownst to me, it was a Japanese fashion shop and it was full of denim jeans. The guy started to talk about the quality and different between cheap and Japanese made denim. The prices where absolutely insane and definitely not something a teen could afford but I always remembered the name. Jun Takahashi.
Stuff like this makes me proud to gate keep(or at least see who’s genuine or not). All memes aside I feel like the idea of gatekeeping is more important than ever, especially for little things you enjoy in life which eventually morphs into a mess due to people missing the point(In fashion or entertainment industry). I’m sure we both know that movie/gaming IPs get screwed out and not bearable to keep up yet with fashion you can still spot the genuine creator(s)/brands more than ever. I never indulge into social media because of how toxic and stupid it can be to “be popular” or show off your pieces, instead I enjoy talking about why i get my piece with my friends and family which makes me proud of what I own and even see if they like the creative vision from the creator(which is why I love undercover). Always happy to explain the brands and what they do, never about “oh you like this? Stay away”. It’s the random people that I don’t care at all, most of the time they’re not going to be in that landscape(especially since I live in LA where it’s more of a “vintage” minefield) so I just stay away lol. But seeing that whole ignorant comments section of the undercovies 85s just makes me appreciate that I’m away from that shit. Also seeing how quick people were able to shoot down “howcole” fans *Thanos voice* does put a smile on my face. That’s the side of gatekeeping doing its thing, making sure mfs don’t get the wrong ideas or try to start shit.
I get what you’re saying but gatekeepers sometimes take it to far and dismiss and discourage people from wearing or engaging with stuff at all like come on man let this thing get big and just put people hip to the backstory. but do agree people often take stuff completely out of context to often
Cofkin is the Batman of archive fashion fighting for small tik tok designers having their work stolen by malicious Japanese brands we should thank him for his service
Imo reps are like the creative mode of fashion, they’re a good way to try out a new way of dressing to see if you actually like it before actually going out and saving up and dropping a lot of money on a piece (like survival mode) (see what I did there) (im so funny)
I don’t have tik tok but in a way I don’t hate what it has done to fashion now everyone has access to everything so when you see someone actually fitted in public I appreciate it way more also my wardrobe has gone up! And maybe she will finally know I’m wearing rick (they never do)
I prefer undercover go back to its roots. I don't think Jun has referenced crusts punks/anarchists/ punk rock for a while in his menswear. I don't mind him going back, but he probably doesn't want to do that anymore since thats all he did leading up to 2009 or so.
The same as anything else in fashion the fun lies in obtaining the wealth to even endulge in collecting sought after peices. It’s not fun without spending thousands on it .
im kinda new to this type of fashion but I was never a hypebeast. I bought my first nn ss01 crewneck a few months ago still want to learn more about that
In these post-Diet Prada, more and more cases like this happened. Not long time a go this also happened to JPG as some random clueless people accused the brand stealing the body print motifs which Gaultier originally created long time ago from a recent small designer. This also happened to Yeezy Shades as people adding fuel to accused Kanye stealing from random small designer, but the truth is Kanye steals from Margiela. In the future most likely same things gonna happen again, small unoriginal designer that blows up in the net getting credits and follower from an act of stealing smh.
i feel bad because tiktok really introduced me to fashion and helped find my own style for me. i've loved clothing and dressing my entire life but tiktok really helped with it tbh. now i am trying to learn about these clothing brands while learning about their pieces.
Hot take: understanding and appreciating culture is always something I'll try to do, but I really don't want to do that when capitalism gets in the way. So many "high fashion" enjoyers are lying to themselves when they gatekeep archive fashion and hate on reps when at the end of the day we're all just insignificant individuals being influenced by a subculture ultimately built on financial incentive and not true art or self-expression. It's about time people stop kidding themselves when they feel special shopping at a designer brand; you're just making another corporation richer under the guise of belonging to a collective of left-field fashion connoisseurs. Replica bros cannot dress to save their lives though. No argument there.
Been saying this. We kinda argue among ourselves about whos cooler, whos more unique whatever. But the real divider of class and what creates this pretentious snooty attitude is capitalism and this bunk ass consumer economy we live in. Let people enjoy what they enjoy and wear what they wanna wear, so what if theyre not spending 3000 dollars for a pair of jeans.
rep culture is constantly justifying mass consumption and its so effed up. where's the individuality. if they rly liked something, they'd save up and buy it & likely end up keeping it for longer bc they worked to get that piece, rather than buying a cheap rep & wearing it once til it falls apart then dumping it into landfills. it hurts to see this happening smh.
"if they really liked something theyd save up and buy something often indiscernible from replica for no reason but to spend more money". Appreciation of a piece has nothing to do with how much you buy it for, and individuality comes from how you use that piece in an outfit. There are a lot of rep clones out there that see "balenciaga" and nut all over themselves and then wear the same outfit. But to say that not buying a pair of pants worth the same as a used toyota camry is hurtful to fashion is, in my opinion, ridiculous. Now I don't wanna insult you or nun because i do respect ur opinion, a lot of stuff gets played out because of rep culture, that is definitely true.
@@mow5808 hey man do whatever you want. i'm not saying buying a piece of clothing is worth more than buying a car. obviously you should buy what you can afford. this is relative. whatever your financial situation is, make the best of what you got. that doesn't mean dropping racks on clothes. but saving a little bit at a time over a long enough time can help get you that piece on grailed or another platform for a fraction of retail. there's plenty of steals out there if you look hard enough. start small. at the end of the day its just clothes. prioritize according to your situation. but remember voting with your $ is real. if you support reps & ripping intellectual property from someone's art form, that is your choice. i'm not here to change your mind. i'm just voicing my own thoughts on the matter. in the end, i get why you wouldn't wana drop $200 for a pair of sneakers from a shitty company, & maybe thats enough for you to look to reps. that is up to you to justify. personally, i wouldn't even want a rep from that brand, bc even the reps would be promoting their brand. i'd rather save a little bit & buy secondhand from grailed or another platform. that way you're supporting sustainability & promoting a brand you like when you wear it. this way at least you can sell it if you end up not liking it anymore, but the expectation is that you buy with the intention of keeping it for as long as possible. buying @ retail is a luxury & privilege most ppl can't afford -- including me, its just not practical for my lifestyle & financial situation. but i'm okay with that.
My main gripe with the rep scene is the lack of thoughtfulness. A lot of them buy stuff without asking if they really like the item or if it even goes with anything in their current wardrobe.
iv seen so many comments like this, my question is what do you do IF you are thoughtful of how you shop?, now i just use reps to buy pieces i want from specific brands or just getting them second hand on plats like depop and facebook marketplace, is this the final stage of fashion where you just appreicate the pieces for what they are and ignore the mass hype?
@@k4ll4m79 Want item? Buy item. Not enough money for item? Save up for item. Can't realistically save up for item? Go to the secondhand market. Secondhand market not working out? Realize and accept that in life you can't always get what you want…or if you're really desperate, and even though I personally wouldn't, buy a rep.
there's a pretentious feel of superiority when it comes to people preaching only buying real clothes. I been into reps for a few years and I've seen all the trends go by and I see that factories are only really replicating the super popular trendy pieces (raver denim, ricks, that OBNOXIOUS VETEMENTS HOODIE WITH THE R RATING IK YOU KNOW IT) and that combined with the predisposition of a follower mentality that a lot of these trend hoppers have kind of ruin those pieces for everyone. I shouldn't have to think so hard about buying a pair of rep miharas if its too popular or whatever. I'm just a broke mf who likes clothes that happen to be expensive. But to say that an entire group of people don't appreciate the history and that reps take away from that history is dead wrong.
wrong. rep wearers could care less about the history ,they just wanna be part of the trend and hype. Then they'll shit on the clothes once they're not trendy and move on to something else
Being apart of Undercover cult, the comments on the page daily are so cringe. I’m confused as to where fashion went so wrong online. Gatekeeping is really needed and these probably shouldn’t have dropped at complexcon just because of this.
for me personally, i buy reps because i genuinely like the item or i've been wanting it for a long ass time. but I absolutely refuse to buy a rep of actual archive pieces. I try to save that excitement and reward for the future rather than easily getting a rep of that piece. it kills the excitement for it in my opinion
@@bluepurpp that's what I meant about saving that excitement for the future since I can't afford those items currently. again I absolutely refuse to buy reps of actual archive pieces
Well I will never spend 6000 on U 85 even if I like them, if I want that style I buy rep While more “affordable” pieces like balenciaga boots is better sacrifice and buy legit ones
It honestly makes sense that they’d rerelease such a coveted pant but they look like the low tier Tao replicas lmao. Ends RP does nice work but it’s clear Jun inspired them. Which is okay everyone derives inspiration from something but people get so egotistical about it fr lol… Howcole literally came up selling vintage Undercover jeans pretending he isn’t inspired is just a lie.
99% of people buying mass amount of rep clothing are absolute donkeys. the fits on /r/qualityreps are so atrocious it's insane. also, don't dare to ever mention how their consumption behaviour might be unsustainable. they have never wasted even just a single thought on that and don't see the issue
tiktok turned everything they overshare into cheap feeling trash tbh, art and fashion should remain exclusive to a certain extent, at least exclusive to those who make the effort in developing a personal style and in finding good pieces, we all know most tiktok consumers are jus photocopies of each other + there is nothing less ''fashion'' than speaking to a camera and being ''relatable'' which is the main tiktok thing, so, in my opinion fashion and tiktok (being relatable, speaking to an audience, saying where u get ur stuff (wtf) etc,) can't go together.
As someone who is probably only surface level interested in fashion i dont know if i should give a fuck about this story (nothing against this video tho, it's very well made). It seems archive has the same amount of gate keepers, replica preachers and waste spitting people as any other area related to fashion. The "elitist" of fashion having the same problems as some "sneakerheads" is almost a bit comedic to me.
or maybe some people just really like how some pieces look but just cant afford them like what??? i dont give a shit about acceptance, i just like how it looks like what?
Ironically everyone here fails to see themselves when they’re a 40 year old with actual responsibilities thinking back about how much mindless bullshit they spent their money and energy on such as caring about what fashion dudes online are wearing and if it’s real or not lmao grow tf up guys and look at it for what it is. If you think spending $5k on an archive raf sweater makes you realer than the guy who got the identical rep I think it says more about how insecure you are that you think senseless knowledge about a material item puts you above someone who probably has the same taste as you. Most of these fashion talks are drenched in elitist thinking coming from people who lack the most self awareness and fail to realize how corny they sound spending thousands on used clothes with holes in them but still can’t even properly talk to a girl just to be accepted by other dudes who can’t get girls while the dude in the reps just puts that shit on and moves on with his life and if his clothes gets ruined at some point guess what, he could care less.

As someone who is probably only surface level interested in fashion i dont know if i should give a fuck about this story (nothing against this video tho, it's very well made).
It seems archive has the same amount of gate keepers, replica preachers and waste spitting people as any other area related to fashion.
The "elitist" of fashion having the same problems as some "sneakerheads" is almost a bit comedic to me.
or maybe some people just really like how some pieces look but just cant afford them like what??? i dont give a shit about acceptance, i just like how it looks like what?
erm i doubt that.
rise and grind
FHTV from Toronto?????
nyeeeaaahhh ehh
I don't care about the significance of a brand if the product looks like shit. And you shouldn't either.
i only buy reps for brands like sicko
Ironically everyone here fails to see themselves when they’re a 40 year old with actual responsibilities thinking back about how much mindless bullshit they spent their money and energy on such as caring about what fashion dudes online are wearing and if it’s real or not lmao grow tf up guys and look at it for what it is.
If you think spending $5k on an archive raf sweater makes you realer than the guy who got the identical rep I think it says more about how insecure you are that you think senseless knowledge about a material item puts you above someone who probably has the same taste as you. Most of these fashion talks are drenched in elitist thinking coming from people who lack the most self awareness and fail to realize how corny they sound spending thousands on used clothes with holes in them but still can’t even properly talk to a girl just to be accepted by other dudes who can’t get girls while the dude in the reps just puts that shit on and moves on with his life and if his clothes gets ruined at some point guess what, he could care less.
