Show Notes
Patreon Preview from Blamo!
Streetwear was once a catchall term for styles that naturally emerged from various street cultures. Today, it’s a multi-billion dollar industry shaped by luxury houses such as LVMH. In this episode, Peter and Derek discuss the evolution of streetwear from grassroots expression to high-fashion commodity, and explore how luxury brands have co-opted it to sell the idea of authenticity to wealthy consumers. They also examine how this shift relates to the broader affordability crisis in major cities.
