STYLE Union, the pioneering boutique that opened in New York City in 1989, fueled the invention and forward motion of American streetwear and has continually set and raised the bar for retail in its ANY many incarnations. Chris Gibbs, former NYC shop boy, now owner of Union Los Angeles speaks with Capsule’s Minya Quirk about the good old days, his weirdo past, the rebirth of Union’s L.A. chapter and the secrets to his success. GOOD? Fashion commentator Nick Schonberger weighs in MQ: So you worked at Union NYC (RIP) for a while, can you tell me in what capacity, but also, what led to that? I mean, you’re from Canada. What landed you on Spring Street? And also, were you always into clothes? Over the past decade, we’ve refined CG: I wasn’t really into gear. I moved to New York and was working at a skate shop. I was dating (now wife) Beth back then. She was really tight with Harold Hunter collective sensibility while managing to and all of them. She used to get me free Union/555 Soul/Supreme shit. After hanging out with her for a while I saw this whole other side of the game; models, clubs, retain a healthy dose of youthful exuberance. fun shit…not the dirt bag skating shit I did. When Aaron moved from Union to Supreme…Beth got me in at Union. Even when toying with the traditional, we MQ: Year? buck the rules of decorum and wear, gasp, monk straps without socks. Or, simply don CG: Maybe ‘97? Over time i just kind of had an eye for what would sell and I eventually became the buyer. I literally just bought the shit I personally liked. I guess a fitted cap with suit. Yes, we’ve grown that worked ‘cause I was a fan before working there. I still use that technique now. I buy what I like. up from a misguided interest in jerseys as MQ: Well you have good taste. How’d that evolve? Are you saying you were NEVER into fashion in your younger years? Or was it an inventiveness that came with standard daily attire. But, we’ve never lost a those early streetwear years? love for being a bit bold. CG: I mean, I was like every kid. I wanted Nikes and shit and I would come to NYC for the summer and stay with my fam and get all the latest shit. But I was never Thanks to our good friend the Internet, style a “fashion” dude. mutates faster than ever these days. However, MQ: The youth culture today, it’s a totally different climate. With brands like 555 Soul, Supreme, PNB, it’s hard to explain to young people now how different it was certain things remain the same throughout – that people were making this kind of clothing for themselves and their peers for the first time. It wasn’t a big marketing machine like it is now. It was so organic. history —we transfer from periods of aggressive ornamentation to stripped down CG: In fact, it wasn’t till I moved here in ‘94 that I really got put on. I was into all those brands because they spoke directly to me. The one thing that might have set elegance (and back) in a constant yin and me apart was that I was an outsider in New York. I lived in Brooklyn with my fam and they didn’t get me. My friends didn’t really get me either. I was like a mixed yang cycle. And, again thanks to the Internet, nerd from Canada that loved underground hip hop, hated Biggie and skateboarded everywhere wearing vintage shit. Now, that would be a hipster. Then, I was a the connection between prevailing trends has weirdo. I guess I just embraced it and tried to be different. once again tightened. MQ: You hated Biggie???? What’s wrong with you?! That is to say, ideas are happily intermingling CG: Biggie to me was like Darth Vader. He was the illest dude but he worked for the dark side. He commercialized hip hop in a way that I despised at the time. Now in ways never before imagined. I get it all and can just appreciate him for being dope. I still think he was the beginning of the end. Liberty florals land on 5-panel caps. Blazers MQ: So where were you going to school and what were some other jobs you had? take tiger stripe camouflage.

  • The Evolution of Streetwear
    The Evolution of Streetwear The newfound reality of Streetwear and its luxury-like management Trabalho Final na modalidade de Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Católica Portuguesa para obtenção do grau de mestre em Marketing por Miguel Lobo de Macedo sob orientação de Professora Doutora Joana César Machado Universidade Católica, Faculdade de Economia e Gestão, Maio de 2015 Acknowledgements Máximo 1 página (facultativo) Abstract Purpose: To explore the critical dimensions of successful streetwear brands and how they garner customers’ attention, devotion and regard for the brand. Ultimately, the goal is to compare the anatomy of a streetwear brand to that of a luxury fashion brand and analyze the main differences and similarities between the two in order to understand how a streetwear brand, Supreme, operates in its niche market. By using a case study approach, this study plans on analyzing the newfound reality of streetwear, the reasons for its unprecedented consumption and what the biggest brands in this industry do in order to appeal, constantly, to different crowds: the devoted followers and the fashion-driven consumers. With this in mind, the study intends to validate the relevancy of these streetwear labels in today’s luxury fashion markets. Findings: The aspirational consumer of today’s streetwear will be the aspirational consumer of the eventual luxury market of tomorrow. I understand that there is still a lot to be studied within this streetwear industry but believe to have validated the importance of these brands in the purchasing intention of today’s consumers, by deconstructing the brands. Three important levels of analysis cement my study.

  • How Fashion Erased the Politics of Streetwear in 2017

More information about this work at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu/gj_etds/219 Discover additional works at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu This work is made publicly available by the City University of New York (CUNY). Contact: [email protected] Mask On: How Fashion Erased the Politics of Streetwear in 2017 By Frances Sola-Santiago Hip-hop culture dominated the fashion zeitgeist in 2017. From a Louis Vuitton and Supreme collaboration to Gucci’s support of Harlem designer Dapper Dan’s store reopening, the fashion industry welcomed Black culture into the highest echelons of high fashion. Rapper Cardi B became the darling of New York Fashion Week in September after being rejected by designers throughout most of her career. Marc Jacobs traded the runway for the street, staging a show that included bucket hats, oversized jackets, and loads of corduroy on a large number of models of color. But while the industry appeared to diversify by acknowledging the indomitable force of hip-hop culture, it truly didn’t. The politics of hip-hop and Black culture were left out of the conversation and the players behind-the-scenes remained a homogeneous mass of privileged white Westerners. Nearly every high fashion brand this year capitalized on streetwear— a style of clothing born out of hip-hop culture in marginalized neighborhoods of New York City and Los Angeles, and none recognized the historical, cultural, and political heritage that made streetwear a worldwide phenomenon, symbolizing power and cool.

Bandung 2019 ABSTRAK Nama : Yen Manda NPM : 2015320086 Judul : Pengaruh Co-Branding Louis Vuitton dan Supreme Terhadap Minat Pembelian Konsumen di Bandung dan Jakarta Untuk memenangkan persaingan, merek-merek mempertimbangkan untuk berkolaborasi dengan satu atau lebih merek untuk membangun kekuatan baru di pasar akhir-akhir ini. Beberapa ahli mengatakan bahwa Co-Branding dapat berhasil jika satu merek berkolaborasi dengan merek kuat lain yang memiliki karakteristik yang mirip atau cocok dengan merek induk. Merek terkenal, Louis Vuitton (LV), telah melakukan Co-Branding. Yang menarik adalah, meskipun memilih merek lain dari segmentasi serupa, LV yang mewah memilih Supreme, merek fashion pakaian jalanan atau streetwear yang terkenal secara global. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaruh Co-Branding Louis Vuitton dan Supreme terhadap minat pembelian konsumen pada 100 orang yang mengetahui kedua merek tersebut. Co-Branding dapat diukur melalui dimensi familiarity, attitudes toward the partner brands, dan perceived fit between the partner brands. Melalui penelitian secara kuantitatif, data kemudian diolah untuk diketahui korelasinya antar dua variabel.

  • Limited Edition: Collaborations Between Luxury Brands Alice Fregne, Linnea Björck, Lusiyana Dimitrova
    Limited Edition: Collaborations between luxury brands By: Alice Fregne, Linnea Björck, Lusiyana Dimitrova Limited edition: Collaborations between luxury brands Alice Fregne, Linnea Björck, Lusiyana Dimitrova Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to see what luxury brands gain from a limited-edition collaboration in terms of segment, positioning and target group and based on the identity prism, see what characteristics that are transferred from and to the brands in the collaboration. Design/methodology/approach: First a literature review is presented with relevant theories for the purpose of the paper. Luxury brands, co-branding, limited edition and brand identity are concepts of interest that are described and analyzed. Multiple case-studies were conducted and analyzed based on secondary data from websites in combination with academic articles and literature to be able to answer the research question. Findings: It is possible to draw some cross-case conclusions regarding reaching a new target group, however, we cannot determine whether this is also valid long-term or just during the collaboration. For two of the cases, a new segment was reached through the collaboration hence creating potential customers for both brands in the future. Regarding the positioning in customers' minds, it is difficult to say without collecting information from them, nevertheless, we can see that some brand characteristics have the potential to be transferred from and to the brands in the collaboration that they can benefit from long-term. Research limitations: The study is based on secondary data; therefore, it is difficult to determine if the limited-edition collaborations affected the brand characteristics from the senders’ side.

    Proceedings of the 11th Annual International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Singapore, March 7-11, 2021 Business Model Innovation between Tangible and Intangible Products CHEN Si Graduate School of Business and Finance, Waseda University Tokyo, 1698050, Japan Faculty of Education Sciences, East China Normal University Shanghai, 200062, China [email protected] NAGASAWA Shin’ya Graduate School of Business and Finance, Waseda University Tokyo, 1698050 Japan [email protected] Abstract Highly valued in technology enhancement or product design, the business models of tangible and intangible products, however, are less concerned by academic researchers and entrepreneurial practices. The definition, characteristics and structure of these business models are still ambiguous. This article synthesizes the literature and draws conclusions. Combined with strategic design thinking, two core models are proposed for the two product types. These two business models, BMTP and BMIP, are illustrated by using four representative design companies as cases analysis. Implementation underpinnings of entrepreneurship education in Design Disciplines are explored in the suggestion part. Keywords: business model innovation, tangible and intangible products, entrepreneurship, strategy 1. Introduction A great increase on entrepreneurship in the field of technology turned up globally in the past thirty years, especially about the huge economic market and business trading platform to everyone. However, entrepreneurship and its education of tangible and intangible products are still in an unsystematic industrial chain, not merely for most designers usually concentrate on their products design, but also for they are totally unfamiliar with the knowledge of business as well as the entrepreneurship education in Design disciplines is in its infancy. As we know, the term “design” covers a wide range of disciplines, some of the common ones are architecture, engineering, exhibition, fashion, visual communications, interiors, multimedia, packaging.
