Is there any american clothing brand that has really stood out? I had a discussion earlier about it and I think americans really haven't contributed to fashion.
>Rick had to move to Paris so he doesn't count
>The designer/brand has to be successful in order to be considered

Yes

Denim jeans

topo designs and Patagonia are doing well

Levi. Nike.

>Brooks Brothers
>The North Face
>Supreme
>Vans
>True Religion
>Converse
Do shoe brands count?

These

>denim
Google Nime, France

Anna Sui, Tom Ford, Alexander Wang, Ralph Lauren, Mark Jacobs all come to mind

I'm talking about quality jeans, frenchie. America is the home of MADE TO LAST jeans with reinforced rivets

>my levis broke in 2 months

Are you a reddit atheist or something?

Who is Helmut Lang?

Austrian born designer I believe.
What does he has to do with this thread though?

He was the quintessential "New York" designer in the 90's. He may have been foreign born, but his design was unequivocally American.

>his design was unequivocally American
no it wasn't
like not at all
look in to what is actually considered american design in clothing

damn that guy is trolling you super hard and you just fell for it

You're right, at least about high fashion. Most American contributions to fashion have been utilitarian and street/pop culture movements. Fashion as art is a pretty urban concept, and America has been mostly frontier and farmland til relatively recently.

If you consider how brief its history is, US cultural impact on the world is unprecedented, but again, seriously lacking in high fashion. And since it's a nation of immigrants/ex slaves, most American innovations could be seen as multinational collaborations.
