Trapstars designs through the years. Trapstar is a UK streetwear titan having stood the test of time with over ten years in the game. From selling clothes out of pizza boxes to Jay Z and Rihanna wearing their pieces and their puffer jackets becoming much sought after pieces in UK streetwear, the relentless brand keeps rising to new heights. I don’t know what Dagye did this day but the effects of ADWOA philosophy was evident in the Trapstar x Adwoa collab drop. The best thing about it was that it made sense, it wasn't forced. While this is a whole new avenue for Trapstar, the pieces weren't too out of reach for the direction we see Trapstar going in. It hit the perfect balance of familiarity and novelty, not to mention the familiar faces we saw in the campaign. Unfortunately, the Trapstar account hasn't got the most extensive amount of posts to see the true evolution but the way they’ve evolved from their signature tracksuits and t-shirts to collabs with Avriex, Cough, Syrup LA and more shows how open mindedness and change can do you well. I think expanding into the American market is a smart move for the brand just because of American street culture and Trapstar's brand identity. It’ll be intriguing to see further collabs they’ll rollout and how frequently we will see them. It seems the collabs are the future strategy for them to tap into new styles and markets but I also hope they keep expanding without relying on them because the way they've developed their design over time in the past 2 years is impressive. Big up Trapstar

The war on skinny jeans is serious right now 😂. I asked for your hot takes a while back and this is one that stood out, mainly because I’ve seen people still have a lot of loyalty to skinny / slimmer jeans. The norm right now is baggy and oversized fits meaning anything that's not that will get people talking. It's funny the way the tables have turned because skinny jeans were actually once the norm, you couldn't be caught wearing baggy jeans unless you wanted the current skinny jean treatment. Part of me wonders if they ever still really left because certain styles and aesthetics actually work better with skinnier silhouettes, especially if you're more on the slimmer / sleeker side. I still see people pull off outfits with the skinner bottoms, believe it or not. It makes me wonder if skinny jeans will ever be the norm again pushing out the baggy pants. I really cant tell but anything can happen in fashion. Join the conversation on Instagram

A closeup look of the upcoming "Oasis" Sneaker by Clints. To even be considered for a personal 1/1 UNDISCOVERED pair makes me beyond grateful. I've been wearing the shoe all week. The quality is what mainly stood out to me as the shoe has a very sturdy build to it, similar to an actual boot. The detail and different elements of the shoe is another eye catcher. There's so many parts to look at and digest making you really appreciate the shoe and the craft that went into it. In case you’re wondering, this is what a shoe that needed 14 months in development, over 350 facetimes and over 10 factory visits looks like. Junior expressed how the third generation model follows an “innovative design approach” drawing inspiration from “organic architecture” combining “a formless design structure, focusing on both comfort and functionality” The Oasis sneaker by Clints is scheduled to drop tomorrow. Again thank you Clints for this beauty!

How this artist wants to connect us back to nature through her roadkill inspired pieces. Av Grannan has repeatedly garnered attention for her hyper realistic products. Through their brand, Sublime Remains, the Chicago based interdisciplinary artist artist creates custom bags, garments, and accessories which all started from her art degree. Narratives are built and sewn together through her pieces as she picks apart and combines different materials - mainly up-cycled leather, canvas, fabrics, and natural fibres - that she gathers from couches on the side of the road, old army wear and more. Below are a few key parts from her artist's statement. "I have created a hyper-reality with roadkill. As a society, we are more disconnected from nature than ever. In place of our intrinsic need to connect to nature, we are becoming more dependent on distortions of reality, like virtual games and the unreal existence of Disneyland. Fantasies have come to constitute reality. With this collection, I am presenting a fake symbiotic relationship between perished animals and humans. This new relationship connects individuals back to the sublime of nature and the environment. Similar to roadkill, I find leather couches on the street that are set to be thrown away. I harvest the leather, and like taxidermy, I adorn the skin to come alive again. I paint insects on the leather, embellished with gems and handmade glass pieces to represent the objects that lay with them on the side of the road. While trying to visualize my hyper-reality, I researched Rogue Taxidermy. Instead of killing animals, they used animals that died naturally, roadkill, and discarded livestock. I looked at roadkill and sketched. I was reanimating nature in my mind to build characters for my collection. I rendered my illustrations and added three-dimensional qualities to transform them into a new avatar." Find out more about the brand, via the pages.

Did Rich people ruin Streetwear? So this is a tweet from last year that I came back across in my bookmarks after wanting to spark discussion around it. While it lacks heavy context and discussion on Twitter, I was intrigued by what you guys thought. The only discussion around this was the idea that prices of clothes have jumped sharply. I wouldn't necessarily say it's because of inflation but more because of how much streetwear has grown and the hype around it. In a sense, people saw the demand and opportunity from consumers and capitalised on it to maximise gains. Alternatively, you have the trope of streetwear communities from brands becoming alienated when the “wrong people” start buying into the brand and you can tell they're wearing the brand for hype's sake and to be seen in the brand as opposed to having a true connection to the brand the reasons people like that same brand. “Rich people” are often on the other end of the discourse when people complain about this issue. Anyways, those are MY guesses around the topic, but what do YOU think? Did rich people ruin streetwear? If not, who else did? Discuss below.

Vale has been previewing a few pieces recently and they're looking solid. I've been had my eyes on them for a minute and seeing their development has been great to see, especially from both their "Race Against Time Capsule" and "Valley Dream Capsule". From graphics to different textures, washes and materials, Vale's product catalogue is looking neat. If you gave me a budget to cop something from them, all my money is going on the pants first.
