Aime Leon Dore - What the Hell is Going On? - Topic of the day 2/19/25
Not long ago it seemed like you couldn't walk outside without getting smacked in the face with Aime Leon Dore. Their lookbooks were incredible, there was that Derek Guy article about George Costanza, and the brand aesthetic was so sought after that if you couldn't afford it, you were trying to copy it. But over the last 12-18 months it seems the brand has fallen out of favor. Lookbooks aren't hitting as hard, and there's fewer and fewer items in each collection that seem 'worth it.' Which begs t...

Designer Spotlight: Dapper Dan - Topic of the day 2/15/25
Have you wondered how Logomania became such a pervasive phenomenon? Usually, there are many factors that start a trend but this widely worn style has its roots exclusively with Dapper Dan, a harlem-born designer who started his business by selling bootleg logo rips out of his van.
