“I think the relationship is very tenuous between fashion and art. Many designers have built relationships with artists, which is not something I personally did.

“I see a lot of people dressing very similarly, and I see brands being cool because of their name and because of who wears the brands, but that's always been the case. That's kind of the history of fashion. You know, celebrities wear their clothes and people think these celebrities are cool, and then the clothes become valuable. It gives clothes a commodity factor once a certain individual starts wearing that brand. But do I think there's something wrong? I think what's wrong with the fashion world, particularly men's fashion, is the lack of creativity behind it.” PeopleThinkingKnowsMenWorldGivingKindCertainNamesIndividualBehindsCreativityCasesFashionClothesValuableFactorsBrandsCommodityDressingsBeing CoolFashion WorldHistory Of Fashion Author:Macklemore

“I've always thought that "punk" wasn't really a genre. My band started in Olympia where K Records was and K Records put out music that didn't sound super loud and aggressive. And yet they were punk because they were creating culture in their own community instead of taking their cue from MTV about what was real music and what was cool. It wasn't about a certain fashion. It was about your ideology, it was about creating a community and doing it on your own and not having to rely on, kinda, "The Man" to brand you and say that you were okay.” MenRealCertainCultureSoundCommunityRecordsFashionHe ManBandCreatingOkayIdeologyBrandsGenreLoudRelyAggressivePunkMtvReal Music Author:Kathleen Hanna
