    @rage8kage 4 роки тому +91

    The option to wholesale more must be so tempting. The products are super marketable but to outsource manufacture to reach that kind of number is a trap. Complicated jackets and articulated pants don't lend itself well to that. But to just print design onto t-shirts and make a quick buck will cheapen the brand. Not many brands manage it successfully. Guess we'll see more colabs since that had been received well so far and it grows the brand.

    • @ThisIsAntwon
      @ThisIsAntwon  4 роки тому +11

      Exactly, for a lot of brands it's a compramise or balance they have to reach between their 'real' products or their runway stuff and the logo tees or other basic stuff they know they can make higher volumes of at a large margin. Acronym is pretty unique in that as a brand it doesn't really do that at all.

    This is an outstanding first interview. You were obviously well prepared but still gave the conversation a very natural flow. Really hope to see more of this kind of content in the future on your channel, the techwear community goes to such lengths to anonymise and de-humanise (in an aesthetic sense, not political) and makes some beautiful things in those efforts, but is fundamentally still a subculture made up of exciting people. Seeing so much personality shine through here was really wonderful.

    • @ThisIsAntwon
      @ThisIsAntwon  4 роки тому +4

      Thanks, really appreciate it! Would love to do more interviews so we'll see what happens 😀 I think lots of brands could definitely add value by hearing the designer's thought process and how they reached their final products in a way that's not always clear from the products themselves (e.g. with the tension zip here)
