You can love creativity in tech and at the same time reject fakery.
Maybe like someone who's into watches enjoys fun diversity of Swatch and G-SHOCK or artfulness and craft of more expensive brands and rejects blingy stylized pretentious watches from fashion brands.
Also, please don't judge the community by their response to this design, because this design was specifically created to be polarizing. It's intended to generate debates, just like many pieces art.
- jrm4 3y agoOh, I'm absolutely judging. That's the point of being here. Probably because the people here don't feel like they're saying "This is ugly and I don't like it." It feels like they're saying "Because this is so ugly and objectively bad, it should not exist at all. It must be stamped out and everything should look like Apple."
- kkzz99 3y agoThis is the exact comment you are decrying. You have no idea about the historic context and what acronym is and what kind of impact they have in the fashion world, especially techwear.
- dchest 3y agoI don't judge their clothes, I judge this attempt at computer design. If Lange & Söhne collaborated with Honda on a set of fake spoilers and spiky lug nuts for Accord, I would similarly judge the result as a separate product.
- FireBeyond 3y agoNext you'll be telling us that we just "don't get" Demna Gvasalia and Vetements trying to "subvert the high fashion status quo" with $800 white t-shirts and $1,700 "destroyed jeans"... Demna Gvasalia, attempting to subvert the high fashion status quo, while starting his career at Maison Martin Margiela and LV, working under Marc Jacobs... Demna Gvasalia, whose current position is ... checks notes ... creative director of Balenciaga. Ahh, yes, very ... subversive. The fashion world, even the high end, is not immune from criticism or outright mockery.
