Eastern culture is much more status and hierarchy oriented than western culture, or at least US culture is. Clothing is less of a fashion statement and more of a status statement, which leads to wearing clothing that is commonly associated with "wealth" and "status."
This unfortunately leads to culturally uniform styles and brands that shout "I am relevant and have status in the hierarchy of society."

All my family lived in S. Korea, and the fashion for 90% of the youth populace, is just brands and logos.
Right now it's hypebeast-wear, north face, the last decade was A&f, holister, POLO,Lacoste, the previous was GAP, Levi's, Coach.

The fashion is absolute shit in asia, (With notable exeptions). Expecially amonst abroad students who come to America, who come from wealth, but dont take the time or energy to think about fashion

Too young in terms of how long they've been modern countries so they have a lot of catching up to do, so they're all the way there back at 90s logomania and also haven't gotten exposure to other brands yet. They usually delve off in to stuff like burberry and gradually getting more tasteful from what I've seen.

Also some of them care way too much about social signalling when in the west you can walk past incredibly rich people without even knowing, because they don't want you to know

Take this as a grain of salt but part of the "brandhype" is because most Asian students wore uniforms to schools unlike most western students. How can you be /fa/ with a fucking school uniform? Well it turned out that brands you are wearing (without going against the school dress code) made you /fa/. Students judge others based on what brands you are wearing--literally everything EXCEPT your uniform. Those wearing uniqlos (or anything low-priced brands) are frowned upon and do get bullied. Those wearing Supreme shirt underneath their uniforms, have a Macbook, and a Dr. Dre headphones are effay. That's how they were taught socially and continue to college. Same applies to later life too: businessmen with Dior neckties and judging others based on what brand/cars they have.

I dont think you understand eastern culture. Avant-garde fashion is almost always looked down upon in eastern society, expecially umongst the higher classes, unless it is explicitly seen as an "art" form, or in fashion week.
And the whole status symbol thing is exactly what i said it was.
Clothes are a way for people to delineate who has what and what tier of society they are in, and students who come from asia to america, bring that over here. They have money if they come, and they buy clothes that aptly discribe their socioeconomic status (Such as supreme and other hypebeast)

Avent garde fashion may be seen as cool, edgy, or independent in america. In asia its almost always thought of negativly. Even rebelious kids have an unsaid uniform (Ie. street racing style and culture in japan in the late 1900's)

The culture is all about uniformity, rational compartmentalization, and well defined roles.

>>14791652
There is defiantly old money asians. The Samsung empire in Korea didn't just pop up over night. The progenitors of Samsung and Lotte made a dirty amount of money during the war, kept it, and reinvested it when they were on good terms with the reigning government. They were rich before the wars, they were rich during the wars, and a lot of them got richer after the wars.
There is old money almost everywhere.

Though i would consider old money, to be people who are in generational wealth (2-3 generations). So maybe not monarch wealth like europe (since the 1500s).

Anyhow, I am currently residing in Canada, but same diff. (Was also born in Daegu btw, lived around Shin Mae Dong, went to Ook Soo elementary school... haha can't believe I still remember that name!)

ANYWAYS, my parents always loved arts. Dad mostly movies n music, mom would be photos, fashion. Sister was huuuuuuuge mcqueen fan, she dragged us to MOMA for his display or w/e after he passed away. Then again, all of my siblings were forced to play classical instrument for half of our lives... that might play a factor as well.

Oh yeah, I don't go home draped in Yohji and shit when I go back home, usually slick footwear (Ann or Guidi) and rest are bunch of white button downs and black sweater to layer (kinda like a preppy school boy...?)

So I guess yer right to some degree about full avant garde being frowned upon. Just gotta sneak it in here and there :P
