>Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.

this statement isn't exclusionist. rick just said that you'll look better if you take care of your body than if you buy clothes, which is totally different than stating that some people are not worthy of your mallcore label

it's also a very overexposed quote and ive begun to block tumblrs that post rick's ten rules of style because i figure they probably don't have anything else i want to see either.

This. Jefferies' philosophy is totally different.
His brand is also aimed at teens and twenty somethings, Rick is aimed at the 30-50 crowd.

rick is saying anyone can become and look better even without his clothes and exercise and a good body is more important. it's pretty admirable.
Jeffries was just saying "my clothes are for the cool kids and they're all skinny, I'm still looking young because I'm rich r-right. " when in fact his clothes are shit tier and only worn by total plebs, he's living in a dream world.

rick owens' endorsement of steroid use in the same interview given in 2007 was controversial and was in the news

American designer endorses steroid use was a wsj article iirc

abercrombie is desirable in certain clicks and within that click there are cool kids and wealthy kids w/e

however in the grand scheme of things the clothing is rather low quality and not all that great looking

we just happen to be in a higher click
who prefer kiton and hermes to abercrombie

>> No.6159273

>>6159230
This is correct.
What Jeffries is trying to do is to market products to the attractive looking population.
This is so people will actually see the these attractive people wear his products and think that abercrombie is actually a good brand.
They have gone to lengths to protect this image such as when they offered the Jersey Shore crew money to not wear their products because they thought it would tarnish their image.
In any case, it's nothing philosophical - it's just a money making ploy.

PS: Rick is right, if you want to look good, start at the base and work your way out. You see all these pics of what you think you look like vs. what you really look like and it boils down to having a shit tier body underneath it.
Aside from plastic surgery you can do very little to your face, but you can always work on your body. And people always respect those who try.
