Luxury has taken advantage of the skateboarding culture for a long time. Now it’s high time for our subculture to retaliate!

Kanye West’s style evolution during the last couple of years (click on the above image to see it bigger).
From right (oldest) to left (up-to-date):
1: “Louis Vuitton Don” phase, when he decided it was high time to step his fashion game up.
2: “I wear Women shirt” phase, when he decided wearing Céline design, even from the women line, was being avant-gardist
3 to 5: “All black Givenchy everything” phase, when he managed to get acquainted with Riccardo Tisci, the designer himself being inspired by rap, dark side of the force and religion at the time.
6 & 7: Are we entering an “All white 3.1 Phillip Lim” phase? Kanye West was in head-to-toe white for BET Awards yesterday and we still don’t know if it was some irony trick since it’s an “all black” event (B.E.T standing for Black Entertainment Television). Wait and see… -
Vogue US “Get Your Kick” editorial: the Isabel Marant sneakers’ frenzy is far from being over
It does no harm just this once, Vogue US, in its June 2012 issue’s “Get Your Kicks” editorial, focused on what has been associated with urban culture and streetwear for too long: sneakers! Shot by Craig McDean, Arizona Muse shows girls you can be as stylish wearing sneakers as you are wearing heels if you want too. The shoes shown in this fashion editorial are:

- the Céline pony-hair slip-ons;

- the Chanel Calf-skin sneakers;

- the Maison Martin Margiela leather sneakers,

- the Chloé leather sneakers;

- the way more cheaper than the former Nike Sportswear x Liberty Dunk Sky Hi sneaker

- and the now worldwide famous and even more imitated Isabel Marant ‘Willow’ sneakers. Those are already a craze and with that editorial be sure to see even more of them (I really don’t know if it’s possible and if it will be bearable since last week, during Rio Fashion Week, 3 in 4 women were wearing some Isabel Marant kicks replica).

I don’t fuck on this one with Kidult.
First, he isn’t a skater. Then, his motive is more than questionable and outdated as the campaign that would have motivated his ire dates from last year.
If the problem is because of the Stop it right now skate decks, it’s even worse and more stupid since I’m pretty sure there’s no relation between the French Maison and Jay, the artist behind the Céline print inspired skateboards. -
Céline Spring/Summer 2011 collection inspired skateboards
Everybody talked about Kanye West wearing a shirt from Spring/Summer 2011 collection of French Maison Céline while on stage at last Coachella. It happens that Jay from Stop It Right Now seems to like fashion and skateboarding as much as I do, and she decided to create three skateboard decks paying homage to the most fabulous print of all the ready-to-wear collections for summer 2011. Here is the final result, and it’s pretty dope!

Luxury loves skateboarding (and so does fashion)
