i'm always amused at the ignorance of people who think that the fabric you put on your body has any correlation to what you want to put your body into

I dont get how its gay at all. I'm not hitting on men here or anything gay; all I'm doing is making fun of fegz (Conne, West24 <----ahaha got you *****!) and taking pride in how I present myself.

I was once asked "Are you lost or something?" by a young urban gentleman. He then turned to his 5 urban friends and said "Let's show his ass back to whiteyville" and proceeded to chase me down and beat the **** out of me.

I'm not even white.

Maybe I should've added a smilie or an "lol" cuz I was obviously joking. You my friend took it a little too personally.

oh dude, that wasn't even commentary on how people here dress, I am maybe the biggest critic of that, having lived here so long. I haven't seen a single person in this country impress me with their style over the course of 8 years or something. Koreans catalog material commodities in their heads just like any other minority race though, high fashion and high end streetwear are good ways of displaying wealth. Japan and Hong Kong have been in on this game for years and Koreans are kinda getting into it lately. They know their Margiela from their McDonald's now.

I haven't been in North America for awhile but I just find it really hard to believe I'd ever run into anyone by chance who'd stop me and have a genuine interest in my clothes and actually know what they were; America is the land of hiking-boot sole elastic vamp suede clogs. Koreans all dress like ****, and that is a given, but they will all mad dog me down the street if I'm wearing some Raf or Rick. It seems like you have to live under a rock here to not be able to pick out basic designer pieces and fashions by observation.

I'd stare at you too if you were walking down the street wearing the Raf bolero. holla.

I see somewhat famous designers, I see no name part time grunts, we're all checking out each others clothing. At that level, no one really needs to ask what each other is wearing; we either have a good idea of what it is or don't really care about the specifics. On the regular streets, at bars, in clubs, people are still fashion conscious, a lot more so than in any American city, maybe even more than the average European city. People here know what is what. Not as sharp as Tokyo people, but Koreans know what the iconic pieces are, or the outward branding/labeling, and what the brand name might be. Tons of Dior Homme out there, a lot of it fake, some of it real. You go shopping and see guys in Rick, I see guys in some Japanese midmarket, I see streetwear guys in Visvim and Japanese street brands, Supreme, etc. When I got those MMM hightops for the first time last year, I had a ton of guys giving them a second look on the street, and they didn't even sell those particular shoes at the MMM stores in Korea. Not a single person stopping to talk to me about clothes though.
Cheating, that's like going to NYFW and making the generalization that Americans dress well

last time I did that I saw an older Filipino dude wearing a harrington, he was really small/skinny and it fit perfect. He said he got it at Walmart.
