Watch, everyone is gonna bitch about Givenchy , gicenchy Kanye wore it hype hype blah blah blah, Well before the morons start talking, Kanye has worn less then 1% of the collection there are 120 LOOKS with 4-6 pieces in each look. He has worn max 20 Pieces of Givenchy in Public which is nothing.

  Who the fuck give a crap about what clothes a famous guy happen to have worn? – sounds kinda gay to me

He made a $1000+ dollar shirt look “street”(not upscale fashion) so I guess that’s good for him and for the people that like to imitate how he dresses.

Givenchy and by GIVENCHY I mean Ricardo Tisci did pretty good on the revival of the house, but the problem is that he used the same marketing technique as Christian Audigier (Von Dutch, Ed Hardy): give clothes to celebrities and watch your clothing line become the “it thing” and that’s good if you want to make a quick buck but I think that makes the clothes look cheap.

Overexposure leads to people hating the brand and for a fashion house with legacy that’s a bad thing.

  Very very WELL SAID! I could not have said it better.

  Well, it’s only overexposure to the more streetwear-esque collection. His women’s haute couture and ready to wear pieces do exceedingly well without much “it” exposure. Regardless, Tisci will remain a staple in the fashion industry for years to come.

  Thank you…I 10000% agree. These shirts are in rotation too much and will be played out. Everyone claims they are into fashion all of a sudden but no one has fashion sense. Fashion is a unique style from within, not from seeing kanye and dressing like him.

  The difference is Givenchy is not as affordable to the general public as the other brands you mentioned. Most people aren’t going to spend 300 on one t-shirt.

  No relevant designers have ever heard about this blog. It has absolutely no relevance in the fashion world

  You sound confused; And when I say confused I mean sexual orientation confused. It’s 2012 grow up!

  Jay-Z is a good rapper. Legend? HARDLY. You groupies are too much at times. You can like his music but don’t overreach.
- No One
  
  Woah, Woah, Woah. You’re going a tad bit overboard here. I usually let you spew out your tirades cause they sometimes have some weight to it, but to say Jay-Z is hardly a legend? You’re misinformed. Jay-Z is one of, if not, the most influential Hip-Hop artist in the world. Reasonable Doubt was a classic. His feud with the great Nas is hip-hop history.
  
  To say Jay-Z is not a legend, is to insult many experts whose knowledge far exceeds that of yours on the subject. I’m not coming at your head, it’s just ridiculous of you to say that Jay-Z is not a legend without any facts proving such a statement. At this point, it isn’t even an opinion. The man’s resume speaks entirely for itself.
  
  And no, I’m not a Jay-Z fan. I’m being realistic. I’m a Lupe Fiasco fan.

  Ok. I can buy that. I do like HOV. I guess I never applied that term to him before. But I can accept all the things you wrote they hold weight. I just don’t ding what he does NOW so much. Reasonable Doubt is a classic and one of my favorites. But NAS roasted him in that battle. Lupe is great 2. But Kendrick Lamar is the best out right now.

  You’re trying way too hard Dick. Your trolling attempts are rapidly declining.
- Yooooo
  
  are you fucking stupid. the man has the most number one albums as a solo artist ever. watch your mouth before you get smacked the fuck up. I’m not even a jay z fan, but give credit where credit is due. to make things harder he doesn’t have the fanbase that people like elvis had considering he is a hip hop artist and he still has more number one albums than him. if your gonna weigh in on fashion then stick to fashion, because your comments about music disgust me.
- TheRealCrazyMTF
  
  People who don’t get respected don’t like to give people credit for anything unless the credit due to them.

Im suprised this guy still draws a crowd, goes to show how stupid Americans are, getting poor to make a man that can careless about then rich. Jay z and fashion never mixed so any brand he wears comes off as street wear no matter how high fashion. You can take these people out the hood but you can’nt shake the hood look off of them. Class and style are things you are born with, not purchased.
- Stephek49
  
  well said
- TheRealCrazyMTF
  
  What the hell you talking about the Americans shows don’t compare to the shows and crowds he draw overseas the economy is just as fucked out there as everyone else. By the way class is a emotion and style is a personality and theres alot of classless stylish people out there that well never be on Jay or Marc Jacobs level remembered that.
- DonDimarco
  
  You make no sense. Jay Z has never claimed to be a high fashion icon, he stays true to his roots. Hes sold more albums and sold out more venues than you can count not just in America but worldwide. Theres not a country that exists w/o Jayz fans
- Eliyahu_ben_Yehoshua7
  
  Yawn! you my friend are a walking example of a groupie. Mr. carter will care not whether you eat or drink or where your next check will come from. Many people in other countries have never heard of jay Z, you must not travel often to think that all countries have jay z fans. Have you been to all the provinces of china, better yet, have you toured the middle east or traveled along the Mediterranean? have you sneaked into North Korea? what about the back woods of Russia or Belarus? i think not. Jay z is commercial and only so in commercial areas. Fools like you that have never been anywhere apart from work->school>home don’t know much. As far as fashion icon, i never claimed he made that statement, i am personally saying that him wearing high fashion does not go. Now get out there and do some traveling, stop falling for the hype.
- Steems
  
  You just said a whole lot of nothing…And i guess u know who doesnt know jayz right? right
- DonDimarco
  
  I refuse to read this essay

no one even commented about the actual concert
