So I say, first organize the channel nicely, SEO the videos and then release the videos, then you will get good results.

    Its my understanding that "inspiration" or outright plagiarism is commonplace and to a certain extent, accepted and correlated with trends. With that said, Jerry is Kanye's son and as far as I'm concerned, Rick Owens is Jerry's Granddaddy. LOL Edit: I do think his business model is smart and his work has been evolving which is a good thing. But the trends shift, Ralph Lauren will still be here so no, FOG is not timeless.

    • @planetbrooklynacademy
      @planetbrooklynacademy 2 місяці тому

      I respect your view. I agree that RL will be around forever and I can also see your point about Rick Owens influence on Jerry. But you are wrong in calling Jerry, Kanye son. You giving him credit he don't deserve. Jerry launched FOG in 2012/13. Virgil knew Jerry and wanted to introduce him to Kanye. Kanye then asked him to create the product for his Yeezus tour. That is the extend of Kanye's involvement with Jerry. Now if you want to call Virgil, Ye son I won't argue you on that.

      @adventsociety5382 2 місяці тому

      ​@@planetbrooklynacademy How they met is significant but not tangential. Not denying Jerry's hand in the Yeezus merch vision but Wes Lang is the unsung hero of that story in my opinion. Before Yzy Szn 1, Jerry was known for his great use of layering including the zip hem denim, distressed flannels and band tees, if memory serves correct. I attribute some of his early on success to his plethora of celebrity cosigns and connections, but I would argue that the FOG collections 1- 4 were his best and most authentic stuff and legitimately looked good. ESSENTIALS' popularity and success has effectively rendered FOG as "niche luxury" likening the brand to some of the industry's heavy hitters. But in my eyes its ESSENTIALS that has Ye's name all over it and its Jerrys biggest commercial success to date. I will concede that there is a chance, Ye is not the father because i wasn't actually there for the creative process of either projects so this all merely speculative as they could have inspired each other.

      I'm glad someone else sees it too. I've been saying for the longest, Jerry just rips off Rick Owens. Now I know I'm not crazy. Great video. I disagree with Jerry's line being around for the long haul. I personally think his clothing is too gimmicky, for lack of a better word, and with his new super oversized looks make the clothes look like they have no form. Everybody just looks like they're drowning in fabric. I see people getting tired of that overtime cause I don't understand how clothes that oversized can be comfortable. If he does last, then more power to him.

If you look at the high fashion brands clothing, not the retail stuff, the items they show on the runways, Jerry’s stuff is very much in line with it. Yes the oversized items will get tired but look at what level he’s putting that on. It’s not part of his top tier stuff. It’s for the more mass. He knows what he’s doing. That’s why I say he’ll be around. But I can respect you perspective on how you view his brand. Guess time will tell.

    Rob... Dapper Dan's story has always been interesting to me, but I'm curious why never the push for his own brand? his own logos? his own monogram? patterns? etc. I understand how hard it would be in the beginning in his era to get them "over" with the crowd but now? Dap has build enough notoriety and strong enough equity in his name that I'm sure he can stand on his own without the need to design under Gucci. It's like when I see streetwear brands use a NIKE AF1 silhouette and put their own logos on it - I just never got why not the push for their own stuff and resort to someone else's established brand. What is the reasoning there to not go full blown on their own? I see a lot of people do it... you seem to be doing it with your brand, I see a lot of young kids doing it with their brands. Sure it's harder but is it some sort of deep rooted insecurity that their stuff won't match up to the big brands? That part of the fashion industry has always been somewhat interesting and I rarely see people speak about it.

      I'm glad you asked that question. The thing is he did create a lot of original items. If you look at Salt N Pepa's first album, their outfits were created by Dapper dan. But I guess once he made the Luxury "inspired" pieces the demand became high. When you have people willing to pay big money to have original custom pieces made with their favorite luxury brand logos on it, I guess you roll with whats working. But after they shut him down from using the logos he still continued to design he just wasn't in the public eye as he once was. Then of course urban fashion blew up and other designs then took over the limelight.

    I do not consider FOG a luxury brand, It is to me a high end casual wear brand, that occasionally offers a selection of quality tailored pieces. Luxury it is not. High end, over priced, retail street wear it is. Please do not compare it to RL. Luxury is Haute Couture. I will debate this with you anytime you would like. We have seen dozens of brands built in our lifetime. Its a long list. If you want to speak to specifics of an American born designer becoming a longterm name,there's an argment,but even then. What about Marc Jacobs,Tommy, Halston and RL were pioneers and Virgil was well on his way to becoming synonymous with fashion,entertainment and commercial products. FOG is big,but history is a cruel teacher when it comes to American Fashion designers long-term.
