Unironically Virgil is based

>>14418431
he thinks he's being humble but he's actually just admitting his work is dog shit
big difference between an actual writer like idk Joyce saying "dude just write a book lol" and Virgil saying "dude just paint your shoes lol"

>>14418520
>he's actually just admitting his work is dog shit
it's not his work, it is the shoe mfg's work.
he's just the inspiration and he profit's from it.
mocking the merchants is his way of endearing himself to the youngsters who stan him.

>>14418531
>he's just the inspiration
so they look at him and think wow i'm going to make a dog shit pair of shoes
nice perspective

>>14418543
no, he goes into their offices and they talk about his interests and what makes him unique and what his vision is and they show him a couple of things they designed that he might like to put his name on and he picks one and they run with it.
He probably picked something that ghetto kids could easily copy as a way of maintaining street kid while simultaneously selling out.

>>14418584
I think you're giving him too much credit but whatever

>>14418531
>>14418584
That's even more pathetic lmao
You mean to tell me this guy has a "following" and "stans"?

Also,
>nigger fashion designer
pls

>>14418596
You're preaching to the choir.
Complain to the company who is paying him to design their shoes.

>>14418431
>paint them blue
Ye, just re-dye chrome tanned leather. Or slather acrylic paint all over it, I'm sure it's gonna look kosh.
Jesus fucking Christ, this guy has no idea how this shit is made, does he? This is the retarded shit you get when someone "designs" shit, but has no involvement in it's creation.

>>14418612
shut up chink holy shit

>>14418612
protip: hoodrats don't care about looking kosher, moishe

>>14418621
You're a retard, if you don't care how the world around you is made. Literally woman-tier way of thinking.

>>14418651
And youre a dumb chink for caring what your chinese sweatshop shoes are made of. Im sure I know a lot more about than you about how the world around me is made considering I'm studying molecular biology at a top tier university. Incel.

>>14418661

>>14418661
>studying molecular biology at a top tier university
>calls someone else incel
:P

>>14418682
Please, you're giving her too much credit. Anyone with the faintest grasp on chemistry would know the process of tanning and dying leather.
Bitch is probably in a nurse school at best.

how did thread turn into chinks v roasties
only on 4channel (formerly 4chan's b& and v&)

>>14418682
>>14418674
>no counterargument
>calls me a woman (lol what??)
Chinks are so bad at confrontation. I shit on you hard. Good luck dude

PS: Have sex

>>14418596

What the fuck is 'Stans'?

>>14418774
It takes an argument to make a counterargument lmao
Is your argument that you study molecular biology? Because that's clearly not true, if you don't know how leather is processed.
Or is your argument that I'm dumb, because I know more about chemistry and material science than you?
Or is your argument that I'm Chinese for knowing a process that has been widely used since pre-history?
Which one is it you brainlet?

>>14418787
It means you think they're groovy, grandpa

>>14418791
>you know more about chemistry and material science because you watched a video on YouTube how AF1s are made
Are you this delusional dude? They dont teach you how to make shoes in college. The world doesnt revolve aroune fashion. Why are chinese people so out of touch?

>>14418431
no he's still a fucking hack. u r an idiot if you fall for the "le self-aware artist*

>>14418431
He's 100% right. Watch his off-campus talks. dude knows the game and knows what he's talking about.

>>14418431
nah he's a hack who's existence in fashion is a coincidence of nepotism not to mention a plagiarist and if supreme is your favorite brand you should get on your knees and suck his dick some

desu his louis vuitton stuff for this upcoming season is actually interesting and not complete dog trash when he actually applies himself and his team. Mainline off white is uninspired trash and he knows it. He fucking gamed the entire fashion clientele with pyrex. Create an artificial demand and reputation by having cultural influencers wear the stuff. Pyrex was trash screen printed garbage on champion blanks. People still bought that shit up because asap rocky and asap mob was pushing it (which as a collective was blowing up at the time). Get sued by actual pyrex and change the name to off-white (crack). Continue to have your rap friends shill your clothing for you, people like to emulate those that are well revered. Once the brand becomes larger than it ever would have naturally it's a exponential growth like factor once fully adopted by hype culture. Looking at "the ten" which was his first mainstream and landslide success only 4/10 of the shoes are actually interesting enough to comment on (the converse, 1's, blazers, and prestos, and maybeeeee the af1's). He understands that off white is a brand totally built off artificial hype so he just doesn't give a fuck. Hence his comment in OP, all he did was turn the shoe blue and make a chrome swoosh, you could literally to both of these yourself given enough ambition. But people don't want a fucking blue af1 with a chrome swoosh, ThEy WaNt A oFf-WhItE sHoE.

>>14418520
He's admitting that he has no attachment to the shoes whatsoever and distancing himself from anyone dumb enough to buy them.

>>14419363
>the converse, 1's, blazers, and prestos, and maybeeeee the af1's
All trash

>>14418612
Just admit you want them for em' social status

>>14418612
>chrome tanned leather

nikes are corrected grain and many retail sneakers featue paint ontop of various highlighted areas of mid soles and the edges of soles

nike and addidas sneakers are exactly the epitome of quality

>>14419290
>not to mention a plagiari
.......literally where did Margiela reps come from? He stole adidas shoes and had everyone sign them with sharpies. then sold at a large premium.

it's called repurposing, but branding it as "Design"

>>14419998
imagine thinking this. Those ghosting af1s are the best af1s ever made

Namefag opinion discarded

Women's off white shows are remarkably better than mens. Mens off white is just for printing money.

>>14420170
yes margiela did it first that's why he's a genius avant garde designer who will be remembered and the 99% repetitive copycat shits are hack designs that will be forgotten

>>14418844
>projecting this hard
Never seen a video of that sort lmao
Fact is you're a dunning kruger case, Ms. Molecular Biologist.
