Is it really fair to reserve an idea or a type of philosphy and say it’s only for an elite people. Creativity should always go through development so when things become uncool their changed. His idea’s are now lacking creativity and the only way to keep them relevant is to hoard them, so be it. Most of Japanese streetwear was first inspired by the Hip-Hop culture if his statement is valid then well you do the math. Those kids from the suburbs might be inspired to go a step further and create something brand new, just like the japanese. Personally i think all it’s all wack.

bape is not cool in my opinion….it is too globalised and not authentic shit…..hf’s brands have a different look and are not as “teeny bopper” as bape…..i have respect none the less for nigo and hf….as they are true business moguls and have had a big influence over the streetwear culture…..

hf’s comments on middle america or whatever, is stereotypical and generalised…..however, you can understand what he means…..which is, it is too globalised.

anyway.it all boils done to what you define as cool….and what you want to wear…..

I’m not being biased to either end of this debate. Yet I understand where HF is coming from. Look at most street brand most are all alike. Nigo sells over priced clothing which I shall never purchase, own nor wear. HF keeps his stuff simple and classic… something that will never go out of style or get OLD. Street brands make the same thing over and over just in a different color way to match you brand new overly hyped dunks! Heh

GODSPEED.

Guys, Nigo or HF? what matter most for a streetwear label is the phylosophy, it’s not just selling some fresh gears, dope kicks, it’s what the label hold for and stand firm, the phylosophy behind the label, the uniqueness of the label, and always stay true to the roots. lifestyle label, undeground label, most important, never forget the phylosophy of the label. I’ve been digging the streetwear/fashion industry for sometime, i now own a streetwear label, personally, i’m not into great gear like Bape, it’s not because some celebrity rock his gear, but do they know the history or phylosophy of the label. Think of why do THEY rock BAPE. and why are u rocking it. Due Respect To all.

Not to defend hf, but bape is definitely the wack.

You rock bape and you’re from Kentucky?
I don’t know how many cool people Kentucky has ever produced, but I think you’re exactly one of what he meant, kid!!
Let’s see you can rock your bape when the hype is over or you become old enough to realize what time it is.
Oh, by the way, anyone here know what does NIGO mean? Now you know it means Hiroshi Fujiwara #2…..

I’m from Kentucky, and I rock a little BAPE….fuck off fujiwara!….Kentucky is country and seems to me we’ve birthed some of the world’s most beautiful people….Ashley Judd, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Muhammad Ali….whom is a much bigger style icon than your old ass will ever be…..unbelieveable comment you ignorant motherfucker

Well Grand Master,

I like Porter too. But…I feel that his contributions up to this point (and especially NOW that he’s getting some shine) have been more than his dull clothes, for sure. Unfortunately, the contributions are some things that make my skin crawl about this culture — unfounded snobbery, closedmindedness based on insecurity and nerdy fear, and an air of disdian for things or people deemed somehow unworthy of the “cool” stamp. So little of this culture’s so-called cool is authentic. And as for the insider-ish posturing, I think that when you misunderstand the fact that youth culture and people everywhere are essentially THE SAME, you begin to have a distorted view of the truth. I don’t have anything against an elevated aesthetic sense or a love of design or nice things, but I can’t go for HF’s thinly veiled racist and classist statements about my American peeps. Look at the Americans he has blogging on Honeyee. Ahahahahahaha. Shows how much he knows about us and “cool.” ‘Nuff said.

Believe me, I wish I didn’t have to read this crap all day, but I make my money in the cesspool of mediocrity that is street wear, so until I figure out another gig I’m kind of obliged.

Sorry I called you a tool. But, don’t believe the hype, friend.

thanks, for letting me know about iDiom, though – i didn’t realize he wasn’t still up in that.

Not to mention, I like Porter, Fragment, and Fenom gear. And his AF1’s. If you don’t, so be it.

Yup, streetwear is a tiny blip on the overall cultural radar – but yet we’re all reading a blog on it, and caring enough to post in response. So, I think, the question of streetwear’s significance is a priori ruled out of consideration. The question is, within the scope of a discussion regarding streetwear, what is Fujiwara’s past and continuing contribution?
