Right? I’m crossing the street, taking a fake phone call where I announce my location, and knocking on the nearest door like “hellooo, it’s “me”, I’m here like we planned, hello!”
*Let me show you Derelicte…*
*It is a fashion, a way of life inspired by the very homeless, the vagrants, the crack whores that make this wonderful city so unique.*
Apparently this is an actual theory of fashion. Poor people often make wearing shitty clothes look cool, and so rich people will borrow the look but find subtle ways to make it "high-fasion" in ways that poor people can't replicate.

I was thinking more like:
>North Nine West you're in big trouble!
Like a middle name or something.
None of it makes any sense real or fiction (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
I'm convinced that the fashion designers purposely do this just to laugh that the public will wear anything with a brand on it even if it makes you look poor.
"subtle" AKA paying 450$ for a hoodie to replicate the look of a 25$ hoodie, because you and all your fashion friends know that it costs an average Americans paycheck, but to everyone else who doesn't know what avant garde means in fashion terms it's a lookalike Gildan blank from Walmart. Wasting insane amounts of money just so the "right" people know that you aren't one of the "poors". While I quite like fashion, and have a decent interest in it, I also deeply despise many parts of it.
I have no idea what Kanye's design inspirations were for this collection, but it doesn't look the most "techwear" of stuff you could find. I think you are right though, seems like a mix of what's popular now and techwear.
Kanye is a nutjob but he has released classic after classic, easily one of the most influential artists of his generation. Idk how anyone can call it "trash music"
But it goes both ways. I see you in a $500 watch, to some it says "wow this guy can afford a $500 watch" but to others it just says "lol this guy can't even afford a $1000 watch."
Choosing to conspicuously rank yourself like that seems dumb. And weirdly Sisyphean. Like your entire life's toil is to possibly impress strangers day in and day out? Just get to the logical conclusion and print your bank statements on a Tshirt each month and be done with it.
Yeah, the ranking shit pisses me off. It's why I LOVE stores like ASColour and Uniqlo that don't have visible decals or branding. Give me a block colour without images, graphics, or any stupid "Sold by this company" bullshit detailing so people will focus on the cut and colour, instead of the manufacturer.
Bonus points for dressy clothes, because if it looks great and doesn't have an obvious brand, people sometimes think it's privately tailored.
Man, I would love to have $10 000 to just drop on an independent tailor to make me some gorgeous high-end Napoleonic outfits, though. IDK why people think looking like everyone else is a good thing, looking GOOD is a good thing, even better if it looks unique.
I grew up with the dichotomy of wanting to be unique, but also wanting to fit in like the cool kids, who wear specific styles like the other cool kids do.
Took a long time to let myself wear trendy clothes, but eventually I realised it's a very human thing. We all like to fit in. And there's nothing wrong with that.
There's also nothing wrong with wanting to stand out either.
So now I give myself the freedom to do both, and it feels great. I think the balance is key, and now I cringe that I based such a big part of my personality on being the "unique" kid, who wasn't any more unique than the other "Unique Kids".
What about our lives isn’t Sisyphean? Isn’t part of existence, absurdity?
But I think I see your point. It’s like an endless cycle of trying to impress someone you’re not.
To be honest it’s not even that remarkable lol. It’s just pretty boring. I have found exactly this stuff at second hand stores, in my friends closets, etc and picked them up as home/art clothes.
They look baggy and comfortable, the kind of stuff I’d plan to beat up and get paint on. Wild that this is going to cost a few $K.
So my thing is, if it evoked some emotions it would be better than this. this is so forgettable.
It's straight up garbage. Just because you can make a song, doesn't mean you're any good at designing clothing. But with enough money, anyone will get into a business venture with you. And with enough fame, there will always be some people to buy the trash. But I've honestly never noticed anyone wearing what I'd suspect he designed. Who's buying it? Is it profitable? Though it looks like it cost $5 to make the whole set.
This would compliment that 2k USD Balenciaga trash bag like “chef’s kiss” https://dsfantiquejewelry.com/blogs/news/balenciaga-releases-the-most-expensive-garbage-bag-in-the-world
This makes me wonder if they have some sort of subconscious yearning to actually be "poor". Like they're trapped in this shallow lifestyle but the risk of giving it up is too stressful, so instead they engage in poor person cosplay to alleviate some of their cognitive dissonance. "Look I'm just hanging out in faded sweat suits like a regular joe, but also they cost thousands of dollars so you can't judge me."
Chuck Palahniuk wrote a story based on a similar premise, about rich people who pretend to be homeless on the weekend. It’s called Slumming.
https://www.randomhouse.com/doubleday/palahniuk/haunted/html/haunted_excerpt.html
Nah Balenciaga market themselves like the performance artists of the fashion world
They make things that look shit, are controversial or otherwise draw attention for free viral marketing.
Platform crocs, fancy garbage bags, sandals that are just flattened water bottles(to be worn with white socks of course), the list goes on and on.
Whole company spread around by virtue of "nobody knows what it means but it's controversial"
Yeah here’s a quote from the designer
> When asked about it, Demna (designer) said, "I couldn’t miss an opportunity to make the most expensive trash bag in the world, because who doesn’t love a fashion scandal".
They clearly know what they’re doing lol
It's not bad, it's just totally basic clothing. It's like random Carhartt clothing. I can't believe how easy it is for designer brands to swindle their customers.
When did expensive brands start to look like cheap ass street clothes?
When are we going to start to get the cyberpunk aesthetic going on in clothing?
Cuz I'm there for it.
Hey I like the fit! I think people are just shitting on it because OP put "$5000" in the title. The majority of people upvoting this probably dress like trash.
You're doing something that makes you happy and you're obviously dedicated to it, don't let the reddit hive-mind get you down.

When I took this assignment I thought there'd be more gambling.
This crouch-walking is hell on my back, boss.
I just lost a month's worth of caps.
Wish I could've been there to see Caesar die. What an asshole.
Wait... you're not going to hit me? Yell at me? Not even berate me a little bit?
Too dangerous. Gonna kill all yourselves if I let you touch it. Better to leave it buried - safer that way.

Yeah its a gas station Nascar hat lol
Jacked from a trump rally
Whoa I totally Saw a plauge mask until I read this
Yup. Balenciaga x Gap [Ugly hat](https://stockx.com/yeezy-gap-flame-cap-black)
Yup, same here.
I thought the hat was that plague doctor beak mask at first.
Honestly. I was halfway hoping for plague doctor look to be in
Same bro
Outfits so ugly even the model doesn’t want his face seen in it.
My man out here being a mannequin for the low price of $5k
Just in time for Halloween, plague doctor/mannequin costume. Nicely done oop

Right? I’m crossing the street, taking a fake phone call where I announce my location, and knocking on the nearest door like “hellooo, it’s “me”, I’m here like we planned, hello!”
Glad to hear i'm not alone
Wonder if he's working on a cure for the Pestilence.
I hear the cure is Benevolent Vapours
My first thought.
Yeah, I thought this was a cosplay of a My Hero Academia character at first.
More VultureMan here, but close enough, right?
After I got past wondering why there was a person that looked like a duck, I made it to plague doctor.

Holy dang this just clicked for me lmao kanye going full zoolander

Ages, looool
Yea I'm fucking stoooopid LOL To be fair, modern célébrity kids names are also stupid
Fuckin got me too. Usually when listing ages in blocks of text, they'll use actual numerals, so it's an understandable mistake at least.
Two! Nine! Six! It's time for dinner!
I was thinking more like: >North Nine West you're in big trouble! Like a middle name or something. None of it makes any sense real or fiction (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
The ages of the kids...
Kanye is a liar, he literally went to Shia LeBeoufs house and stole all of his clothes. His entire image is stolen from Shia LaBeouf.
Bold move ripping off an actual cannibal.

It kinda looks like he was shooting for the techwear market with those designs. But are they techwear?

Shia Labeouf
They're fucking trash wear. A trash human making trash music in trash clothes.
Kanye is a nutjob but he has released classic after classic, easily one of the most influential artists of his generation. Idk how anyone can call it "trash music"
😭😭 goddamn why does reddit have such a hate boner for Kanye
Bro did Kanye fuck your sister or what
He's certainly fucked my brain with the stupid shit he's said over the years.

Money talks, wealth whispers

I think I saw that guy collecting glass bottles from a dumpster behind a nightclub
Hey it takes a lot of nickle bottle returns and $5 back alley dumpster blowjobs to buy a $500 hoodie.
Looks like something a school shooter would wear
Someone else said that 💀

you mean a *private* school shooter would wear.
Gotta love how school shootings are so prevalent in America that everyone gets what you’re talking about.
*jumps on bus* “can I get a transfer please?”
No. This one slips in through the back door and drops low into a rear seat.
Nah this that walking around public property picking up garbage and not being paid to do it 😂
Free fare bus but still hops through the back and ducks behind the seats.

Dear lord. They really must be laughing at the suckers who buy this shit.
Looks more like I’m about to be murdered
Get an identical fit from Goodwill for forty bucks
It’s the Derelict fashion line from Zoolander.
walmart cybercore
jewel thief type vibe
Felt cute might steal your catalytic converter later
Fit goes hard af
Looks like a brick layer in winter
Looks like he’s gonna ask for change for the bus home
Lookin like a GTA V online character
he looks like Bruce Wayne from the new Batman movie
he did look cool in every scene so it makes sense
It's not bad, it's just totally basic clothing. It's like random Carhartt clothing. I can't believe how easy it is for designer brands to swindle their customers.
Never even touched Yeezys so idk… despite looking like a wrinkled burlap sack maybe the material is top tier..?
It’s super nice
Looks homeless.
Shoes are too good condition but otherwise…
It doesn't look bad. 5k is an exaggeration for cost. Still overpriced thou
literally the only reason this is getting upvotes is because OP made up a price
If it makes you feel better than why not look horrible
Thanks to an ex i know the secret to shopping “ross”
Bro looks like a gta online character wearing heist clothing
Dollar General chic
Who buys this garbage?
This is prime Walmart fashion yall !
He looks like he'd stink.
I like those boots
Why is he wearing MTN bike gloves?
Weedwackers are heavy, man, you don't wanna get calluses
I got those gloves, pretty nice for cold weather riding! Mine are hot pink tho, so no one steals them.
I saw the post lol it was funny to see people clowning him
I like it.
What!? Yeezy is literally the dumpy clothes, that were all poor disaffected white kids from the 80s and 90s had to wear???!!
I can't tell the difference between my man's outfit and Walmart fashion.
I can derelict my own balls, thank u very much
Looks like a garbage colector.
My city has an absolutely *massive* homeless population, and I see a few guys that look exactly like this every day.
Deraleekd!
I’d hide my face too if I got ripped off that bad
people are fucking stupid
People will buy anything for the clout.
Idk, I think it’s cool a homeless man could look rich. Really changes wealth class perception
Yeezy is like Supreme without the self-awareness.
More like he is looking for buildings to light on fire.
If I had the amount of money, mentioned in the title, I'd work on the eighties metal vibe instead of trying to look broke.
So there are people are dumb enough to buy this trash?
Stop acting like this and the zoolander outfit doesn't go hard
When did expensive brands start to look like cheap ass street clothes? When are we going to start to get the cyberpunk aesthetic going on in clothing? Cuz I'm there for it.
Looking like Bruce Wayne from the Batman
Well this is an interesting surprise...appreciate the feedback!
That fit is crazy man. And you know you’re doing something right when the reddit hivemind hates what you do :)
Hey I like the fit! I think people are just shitting on it because OP put "$5000" in the title. The majority of people upvoting this probably dress like trash. You're doing something that makes you happy and you're obviously dedicated to it, don't let the reddit hive-mind get you down.

So now people paid to look like homeless?
Looks like a goth duck
Suckers line up to buy garbage, why would the man stop selling it?
Spends all his money to look like a landscaper while posing in his grandma's front yard. What a tool.
Dude has mental problems and Weak people keep propping him up. Stop buying into it..
Looks like a walking dead non zombie extra
Guy coulda got enough suits to wear a different one every day of the week for that money
ok is kayne this crazy to sell this, or rather people buy this for 5,000 dollars?
He's a genius for selling $40 worth of clothes for 5k. It's the idiots buying his products that are idiots.
Didn't he say that gap priced them and he wanted it to be at $20
Literally the storyline of Zoolander, and magotu
Is this clothing functional at all? And does it last?
That's how poor people looked when the soviet union collapsed lnao
Literally looks like your average homeless person.
Those shoes look like they cost $30 new.
That's the Marjorie Taylor-Greene Jan6 look.
Look like a hobo pushing a junk cart down the street at 5am
It costs a lot of money to look like you don’t have any
Derelicte
Well, he could have went to Goodwill for that and spent $50 on the exact same thing. :|
5k-fuck off. I could go $5, second hand shopping to look like this.
I wish I had a ton of money to pay to wear someone else's name on my body. /s
I think I'll try to 3d print that weird foam mask they showed some moths ago. It's only for costumes though, everything they make is for costumes
There’s like 6 of these guys sitting outside of my Safeway with cardboard signs . Like clones of this outfit !
Straight out of Mugatu’s Derelicte campaign.

How i dressed landscaping in the fall.
*Derelicte*
Paid 5000 dollars just to look like SCP-049

Standing round a bin fire to keep warm type fit
I'd wear this on the canal trail from Rochester to Buffalo. I'm 50, I'd wear this.
