NEW SPACE WITH ART

NEW SPACE WITH ART

New space, quite far from my place, but hella artworks can be accompany with me. That's good enough!!

QUALITY. TRENDY

QUALITY. TRENDY.

Day before yesterday met up my homie--David from Kangol, we were happliy having the BBQ and chatting about the Kangol collabs these years. bla blah...

Besides, also talked about the thing of on-line fashion news, people always wanna get the breaking news, and get used to clip-clip and get the quick product info... sometimes even they never see the real products, and have no idea how much it will cost/waste to produce the product, but they comment and seems like they are know-it-all. Sometimes some kids also show the attitude, and comment they have seen the similar collabs or what ...they wanna get something new...

Just as expected, David aint really concern it, he believe we need to provide something with good quality not just trendy!! Quality is over quantity and trendy, I always believe it!!

Besides, David also share kangol brandnew collab with me...it's wicked!!! however it's the top secret, so i gonna zip my mouth n let's wait and see, it gonna kill!!

前天與老友David碰面,我們一邊享用著鐵板燒,一邊聊到關於Kangol近年來的合作款等等..

我們也聊到一些關於線上即時流行訊息的問題,人們總是想快速地獲取最新的資訊也習慣只要滑鼠敲點兩下就可得到最新的產品資訊,而這些網站人員有的也只會評論著一些他們本身不暸解的專業,有的也從未看過產品的實樣,也不了解製造產品會花費多少資源,浪費多少物料就開始忙著下註解,而有時也會有些自以為是的小鬼批評著他們只想最新的,不要看到相似的東西
然而正如所想的,David並不以為意,我們都認同好的品牌一定要有好的品質而非只是在忙從流行,風潮只是一時的,唯有好的東西才能長久!!

當剛好聊到台灣的INTERNATIONAL PORTER時,他給我看HF送他美國限定合作款的黑美黑梅機套( HEAD PORTER x FRAGMENT DESIGN US limited collab blackberry phone case ),更證實了choose what you like, respect what you like的精神,除此也聊到RUSS創設SSUR label已滿15年的可能會進行的活動,以及Kangol目前正在進行的合作案,不過因為是目前仍是秘密,所以拭目以待吧! 不過絕對屌!!

"imitation is the highest form of flattery"

I am not talkng about the old news in Taiwan....If you are Taiwanese, you must have known that news, however why I mention it here...cuz days ago, I went to international porter factory, and they chatted about this case again...(you can tell they have different explanation...)

So, what I gonna say is "Just choose what you like, what you respect!"
