This guy literally rips off everything from SLP or whatever is similar in aesthetic that happens to be trendy. Perhaps after a couple of sucked dicks, he somehow has his rip-offs being displayed in Barneys, including these hilariously blatant rip-off sneakers (which weren't all that original to begin with from SLP)
Look at the comments of this. Are people fucking retarded?
Andrew Bell
Is this guy the biggest scam artist in "fashion"?
Why does LA have to produce such vile, unoriginal trash?
Ian Diaz
why get upset? fashion is riddled with brands like this and you can find even 'high name' designers basically ripping off other designers or at least ridiculously heavy influences if they exist, they have their niche, it sells, not your thing obviously but then that's fine
Charles Ward
lmao what the fuck seems like a prank on fashion
Asher Ross
I forgot to mention the most appalling part of this...
HE SELLS IT FOR THE SAME PRICE, IF NOT MORE, THAN SLP
It's not just some cute Zara or Pacsun-tier rip off
Camden Perez
>New things coming >that >new >2017
Imagine being this delusional.
Lincoln Anderson
slp shoddily rips off literally all of their designs from what rockstars wore 1950-1990. i don't see the problem.
Sebastian Mitchell
Only some meme pieces.
Besides, they're a historic brand who have earned the right get a pass for stuff like that.
SLP has actual, educated designers behind the scenes.
This guy is an LA hack and a wanna-be.
Carson Long
Well fuck I was okay with it until now
Jacob Brooks
Well as you can see, fuccbois eat that shit up. There's a market for it, there are far more inmoral things out there than some dude in LA selling some clothes
James Thomas
It's literally SLP at the same or higher cost.
>dude unironically posted this collection just a couple months ago
Nicholas Scott
that looks like barney's los angeles. they have a lot of horrid high tops there, and a lot of new money entourage guys who get wide-eyed being in a nice store for the first time in their life who buy them.
plenty of nice stuff there though. think that's where i bought derbies a couple years ago.
Easton Kelly
not that bad tho at least it isn't as ugly as philipp plein type shit
Dominic Rogers
It's a niggers SLP. No parisian feel at all. Typical burgereaters to defile culture from the centre of the universe
Logan Powell
this guy is probably making tens of thousands a day in revenue by "literally ripping off" brands while you're sitting in your skid marked uniqlo underwear mad on Veeky Forums
Matthew Bailey
this exactly. except the nigger part.
Julian Baker
kek, that looks like the barneys in beverly hills
Matthew Green
Nigga you just poorboi, Amiri fuck with the vision.

>fuck with the vision. Can someone translate this post to english please
Easton Russell
I'll try to translate.
Amiri caters to young-ish blacks, arabs, persians, and occasional celeb stylist with more money than style, capitalizing on the waning demand for the aesthetic revived by Hedi Slimane, and exploiting the void left as YSL moves on from it. The lux-punk/lux-grunge trend generally reaches an absurdist climax before crashing, and Amiri is trying to eek out whatever residual demand still remains. "The vision" is to extract money from people who are late to everything.
I mean, good job for him to set up the business and hire the right people to get him into luxury retailers. That's 90% of the job right there. I mainly wonder where he got funding in the first place; willing to put money on rich parents/family.
Nathan Brown
So painfully banal and disgustingly pretentious.
>Hand painted by Amiri himself
Who does he think he is? He's a fucking nobody, lmao.
Buying a bunch of expensive, fancy materials and slapping them on clothing doesn't make one a designer or "luxury" brand.
Fuck, I really hate what fashion has become. It's almost always LA breeding this vile trash too. See: Fear Of God, Enfants Riches whatever it's called, ASSC, 424, Rhude, etc..
Liam Butler
Oh hey little Mikey.
I'd rather make $100 day, maintain my dignity while attempting to be genuinely creative, rather than being a shameless poser making $100000000000 per day.
James Collins

Uhh.. I'd sell out for a few hours at least, geez.
Hudson Richardson
Are fakes the new meta?
Carter Martin
what's wrong with enfants riches deprimes my guy
Nolan Gutierrez
>1/3 of my income spent on a jacket lmao
Hudson Wood
This palm tree design could not be any more of an SLP rip off, fuck me...
Luke Price
Threadly reminder.
Juan Diaz
Recreating vintage garments is a huge part of modern designer fashion. It's another thing to just straight up rip off designs from 3-5 years ago. Not only is it a shitty act, it's old crap that everyone has moved on from already.
