Brand Loyalty vs. Like Whoah
I am a brand loyalist to the bitter end, no amount of 13 year old odd future fan boys will tarnish supreme's reputation in my mind. When i decide that a brand is not worth my time or money, it is banished to a terrible land, left wide open to vicious stabs by yours truly courtesy of disqus. There are many things that can cause this to happen: uninspired artistic direction or design, bad quality/production, poor cuts, etc. One brand that has been vanished to this scorched hell scape is YMC, or YouMustCreate. Out the gate i didn't trust this brand due to its horribly obnoxious name, but a few of its classic, workwear inspired staples lured me in. I ended up buying two pieces from them over the years from online sources. Both ended being made of bottom of the line fabrics and trims, had terrible cuts, and were made in china; making their price point simply outrageous. I thought i would never even look twice at a ymc garment again, then i saw this. Does my love for camel camo overshadow my hate for ymc. At this point i dont know, my fingers on the trigger, but i'm not exactly sure where i'll shoot.

Sully: Carrier
The new album by sully has been on repeat the last couple days. Although ive been playing alot of heavier things lately, this cd reminded why i love 2step/bass more than anything else. Beautiful sampling, creative and innovative use of synths and percussion, and just the right amount of bass in all the right places. Check these joints out, and go grab the whole thing on beatport or boomkat.

Personal Style
Personal style is something that has suffered a huge blow in the internet age. People go around trying to imitate lookbooks, or try to buy their way into looking good, but have no idea how to put an outfit together. You would think with the boundless information at our fingertips these days, people would be more inspired than ever, but i certainly cant see it. You used to be able to experience peoples musical and artistic influences in the way they dress, but i feel like those types are a dying breed.
This breed isnt dead though,
so i compiled a few images ive come across of people who look good, while also being themself. Continue on the next page.
ed: dont expect anything mind altering, i had to find these images in 20 minutes.
