Banana republic is worse than I thought it was wtf is this bullshit

There's actually 0 banana themed clothing in there

>>6131564
lol thanks bro, I actually kinda like Banana Republic but Im a fucking pleb so I dont know any better

>>6131564
a banana republic is a country with a shitty economy
which is where gap has its clothes made
edgy as fuck amirite

>>6131564
why isnt Marshalls on budgetcore? is it that bad?

>>6131564
What does this chart mean?

>>6131577
a banana republic is a country whose economy is dependent on one single export

>>6131733
hence..

>>6131733
look at this nerd

>>6131809
in theory the economy could be strong
>>6131827
into the trash you go

>>6131564
This is fucking great

imo YY should be further up and then devoa, rubber.x.soul etc

http://archivesf.com/designers
Good reference.

Maybe even include carpe diem etc

fuck it, it's great OC 10/10

>>6131564
this is actually surprisingly accurate although i question the selection of the brands/designers being assessed

>>6131839
its called banana republic b/c they export irrelevant shit, like bananas

>>6131846
It's not really OC, it's from sz

>>6131887
no it was oc from here i remember the thread where the guy was making it

>>6131887
Who made it?

>>6131893
Maybe you're right, I just did a quick search through SZ and couldn't find it where I thought it was.

>>6131902
ummmmm
obviously im right

i feel like 90s helmut lang and carol christian poell should be together, the austrian gods.

>>6131910
I think the chart is in ref to 'accessibility' and 'wear ability'.

but ofc p.much personal pref.

>>6131910

also it seems like seenmy is the only one thats transcended every level, no one else is wearing ccp/soloist

great brand synergy imo

>>6131929
inb4 this becomes a christianology thread.

watch yourself

>>6131930

yeah, thats what i was referring to. Key 90s helmut lang pieces are almost harder to get than ccp. ccp you can actually buy new, and many pieces go on resale, you just have to have the money to buy it.

>>6131939

yeah but christian never rocks number nine/soloist + ccp. He seems to wear a lot more ccp/rick/ma+ than cult streetwear brands.

theyre just different styles.

>>6131947
But IMO HL is more wearable than CCP

So that's why I think the chart considers both wearability and accessibility
(less wearable and accessible towards HELL)

TBH though the makers probs just put them in on a whim.

>>6131952
I will not tolerate this blasphemy.
>Yeah I agree.

>>6131952
this dude actually made it in the fashion biz right? did some shit for Nike, who else though?

>>6131999

a ton of people, hes a pretty successful stylist.

>>6131893
I confirm this
It was an anonymous poster who made this
It is not from sz

Please keep in mind the special note its super duper kapooper important

>>6131929
>>6131947
>>6131939
i feel like seenmy is the christian of streetwear/heritage

>>6132017
damn.
what does a stylist actually do exactly?

also does he have his own stuff for sale?

>>6132018

kind of, he blends high end stuff, ccp/rick/etc together with streetwear in a really interesting way though.

he was featured in this magazine even for his style.

>>6132028

A stylist composes the clothes on a model or on himself for runway/photoshoots/film.

He basically comes up with interesting ways to present the clothes on peoples bodies, another great one to look up is panos yipanis.

he doesnt sell "stuff," he works with brands, magazines, and photographers

>>6132042
>>6132034
fuck, wish i didnt even ask.
>tfw i will never have his life

>>6132054

i dunno, the most brilliant stylists are just people who love coming up with cool outfits. he obviously invests a ton of time and energy into aquiring good/interesting pieces to work with.

i would kill to meet a really clever stylist (most people that do design would), they can make mediocre clothes look brilliant on people.

>>6132054
>>6132066
networking

serious, serious networking, confidence and charisma

these 3 traits can pretty much get you anywhere but for a stylist they are pretty much the MOST important 3 traits...and maybe outgoingness(?) IMO.

>>6132066
did he like goto school for this?
how does one become a stylist?

>>6132077

How to become a stylist

1. Have incredibly brilliant, creative style, wear clothes differently that everyone else.

2. Have a friend that is a good designer, that is creating interesting products.

3. Style his/her photoshoots and hope the clothes sell well/are featured in magazines.

4. Now you have a resume, and can start working as an assistant to other stylists and build your resume further from there, until you can work with big clients.

>being belligerently retarded
Honduras makes its money from bananas. If banana republic only made its money from a single item of clothing, then the name would fit

>>6132117
