Supreme make great quality clothes - you might not like the hype around them but their box logo hoodies will last years - they are not cheaply made - that's the trick here tho - fast fashion - zara, h&m etc - is low cost but unlikely repairable - Anything Rei Kawakubo (CGD) - Raf Simons - Acne Studios - Thom Browne can all last a lifetime if maintained and repaired correctly -

  I really like Comme des Garcons (especially shirts, even if lately I'm wearing more Paul Smith and Etro) but it's very expensive (and like with many other high fashion brands only mainline items should be bought in most cases). Acne is great and almost reasonably priced in context.

    two of my CDG SHIRT Shirts from 2014 - two CDG Play Shirts (not polo) from 2016 - still wear them regularly - black play one I had professionally redyed last year for $15 - looks brand new -

  This is the company that asks teens to spend their last dollar on a brick with a Supreme sticker on it, right? Or am I mixing that up with another brand manipulating children for cash?

    this is a lazy comment - I believe it was in conjunction with another new york artist who's studio is in the same building - Tom Sachs - he's an installation artist - and the brick was $30 - not accounting for taste huh- never the less - your point is extremely poorly made -

      I think you've let your brand loyalty blind you from a lot of the damage that brand has objectively caused.

        I think that you're digging into my history is telling about how triggered you are about me having an opinion on a brand that puts very basic design on top of overpriced clothing that they don't actually make themselves. Nothing in these guidelines refrains opinions. Telling me my comment is lazy, however, does. Speaking of lazy, here's where Supreme stole their identity and style from: https://www.complex.com/style/2013/05/barbara-kruger-responds-to-supremes-lawsuit-a-ridiculous-clusterfk-of-totally-uncool-jokers https://www.complex.com/style/2013/05/barbara-kruger-respond... Also, my account isn't 34 days old, so I can't feign moral superiority over anyone. I just have this one account.

        lived across the st from the Supreme store on Lafayette for years - we started digitalocean in the same building as their store - know the supreme founders well - and the "origin story" - good guys - only thing I garnered from looking at your comment history is that you don't understand what the word "objectively" means yet use it ad nauseam - and - you're unfamiliar with the site guidelines - i'm new here so maybe I read them more recently than you? good thing I was here to remind you before you get in trouble for intellectual dishonestly - don't worry - everyone makes mistakes friend! :=)
