    My thoughts exactly. Still, it's good to see some of this ridiculous shit being called for what it is.

    i've had an idea for years to open a clothing store that has one rack with 5 articles of clothes. There would be a wall that stuck out and the clothes would be behind it, so you couldn't even see them if you walked by the storefront. It wouldn't matter what kinda crap it was, I could sell the shit for serious $$$ on the exclusivity alone.

    Very true. Thanks for posting this. Been following this streetwear game for a little bit and this helps put things into perspective.

    This would work. Let's contribute ideas to make this store truly successful. I'll start.

    ??? You could play an invisibly installed 5-hour tape loop of consisting of people faintly moaning and slight floor creaks - each bookended by 11 minutes of dead air - just enough aural white space to achieve maximum freakout / artpose / canyoutopTHIS? ethos. Consumers'd eat that up.

    ??? Or, put a fake blood packet under your transparent, gauzy shirt and squeeze it out intermittently through a palmed hand pump. This is Next Level Hipster - not even really caring about life itself. And practice your deadpan. No one would call you on it.

    ??? Charge people a $10 entry fee just for the right to walk into your store. Imagine that. NO one pulls that shit - not even Barney's (because metaphysical tolls don't count).

    ??? Make up some bullshit Japanese designer and proclaim your store to be the sole U.S. retailer of his Work. Use bright colors, and no one will know the difference. Dudes will say (after a long pause): "Right...I read about this on HypeBeast. Or was it kix-files?"
