Visvim is a hype brand, even in Japan it's a hype brand. People out here buying American made gorpcore **** more than visvim. Plus generalizing Japan as superior is some super lame weeb crap, not everyone has crazy taste nor is all the food better.
Oh man I for real thought he posted this at first...To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Visvim. The processes are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of traditional dying and hand cobbling most of the clothes will go over a typical fashion bloggers head. There's also Hiroki's crunchy outlook, which is deftly woven into his style - his personal philosophy draws heavily from first nation literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of his construction methods, to realize that they're not just hard wearing- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Visvim truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Hiroki's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Hiroki's genius unfolds itself on fashion magazines all over the world. What fools... how I pity them. ? And yes by the way, I DO have a Visvim tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
again, you don't I get it, you're just caught on the price and this insistance that it's only expensive because it's purchased by "rich people". I understand, it's the same stale argument everyone else makes about the brand when they try to lump it up with every other fashion brand that relies mostly on marketing rather than adding actual value to their products. Your knowledge of the realities of this brand eludes you and many westerners that place value differently on certain things (namely "look at me" branding style). real cochinal dye is not $2 an ounce and the quality differs depending on where the beetles are harvested, whatever price for sea island cotton you're quoting is questionable. many people grow sea island cotton (Luxsic is sea island grown in new mexico), not all of it is actually grown in the carribean and that makes all the difference, that's why REAL sea island cotton pieces are registered, they have hologram tags with serial numbers issued by WISIC consortium. A brooks brothers sea island under shirt is $100. whatever you've seen is not real sea island, it's not wholesaled to just anyone.
again, tell me wheres the price justification for anything Vetements makes? all that is euro trash made by third parties in Romanian sweatshops staffed by migrant workers. Hiroki actually makes things in his house, along with skilled craftsman who have been doing it for generations and paying old Japanese people to work is expensive.
I've explained why Visvim is expensive with facts, you come back with "Visvim is expensive because it's purchased by rich people" Obviously you need to go to Japan. people there have way better taste and priority when it comes to things like fashion and food. Even the working poor have no problem shelling out $4k for a jacket, so no they aren't all "rich", Japan is still Visvim's biggest market because they know how to appreciate craftsmanship and have no problem paying for it. The brand could not have come from any other country or culture. It's the land that created "hype" even Pharrell found this to be true.
reactive mud dying requires a special kind of mud composition along with presoaking in a tannin solution of another specific plant, it's a reacitve process that produces colors not in the mud or the tannin, that's why real mud dying is limited by geography. what they largely do in africa is not the same, that's just using mud itself as a dye.
no, you don't need to clean your clothes with sound waves, but it's easier, more efficacious, uses less water and energy and makes your clothes last longer, which is good for reselling. what exactly is the problem with that? why is exerting conscious, diligent effort towards a better outcome frowned upon in this country? personally, that's what I like about the Japanese culture; when your spending thousands of dollars on clothing, regardless of what kind of clothing it is, where you wear it, or who sees you in it, why would you not want to take care of it in the best possible way?
