WHAT IS KNOWN IS WHAT IS SHOWN

Today was one of the first days I decided to "dress up" for class and the reactions were quite surprising. Everyone inquired on which occasion I was dressed for in which I promptly responded "life".

Then again I had to remember everyone don't know about my days of high school/undergrad in which, I dressed to the tee almost everyday. And today's situation made me realize people only know what you show.

For example, Kanye West may have the most misunderstood personality in existence. In the eyes of the public most people see arrogance,anger,unfiltered passion...qualities which may make someone very not personable.

But those who are closest to Ye always speak of his joking nature and often try to reassure the public , Ye is not as exaggerated as he seems.

However until a person see those said qualities for their self the only logical action that can follow is assumption.

So if you are seeking to be known/perceived as something else, then that something else is what you must make an effort to show. If you never show we'll never know!

THE POWER OF COLLABORATION

Today the internet may have shattered in pieces all because two of the most recognizable names in fashion which is; SUPREME and LOUIS VUITTON just debuted their collaboration at PARIS FASHION WEEK. Here are a few things that make a collaboration work out in the favor of all parties.

I. OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Maybe someone with photoshop saw this coming but anyone that actually works in fashion see the distinct separation between Louis Vuitton and Supreme. LV is a luxury goldmine and Supreme is originally catered towards skaters and more recently people who love streetwear in general. Two brands on the opposite end of the spectrum is bound to make a noteworthy collaboration.

II. REPUTATION DOES HALF THE WORK

SUPREME has always collaborated with brands in the past (i.e. NORTH FACE, JUMPMAN, LEVI's, etc..) and LOUIS VUITTON isn't shy of high profile collaborations either (I.e. KANYE WEST, TAKASHI MURAKAMI, etc), so when it was rumored that this collaboration would happen, the collab already had positive expections because of their great work in the past.

III. IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT

The SUPREME x LV collection sticks to each brand's signature items while adding an inverse spin on it from each brand's perspective. Everything that customers love such as the LUGGAGE TRUNK, SKATE DECK, FIVE PANEL CAP, and more are all present which doesn't make the collaboration feel forced but more so as if it was overdue for release.

Sometimes big brands make moves strictly off hype and a quick flip. Though this collection is generating extreme hype it isn't negative but it only shows the power of collaboration when it is done correctly.
