Confession: I had no idea wallabies were called wallabies until now.

ycontrol: so ok what about something like margiela
[10:40pm] ycontrol: which doesnt have advertisements
[10:40pm] ycontrol: has like two stores in the usa and a few other stockists
[10:40pm] belabonbon: right
[10:40pm] ycontrol: is that different or the same as visvim?
[10:40pm] belabonbon: i don't think the sims/diffs between them are that important, but I'd say margie isn't trying to sell clothes to you either
[10:40pm] belabonbon: the are targetting someone
[10:40pm] belabonbon: and that person is called regis
[10:41pm] belabonbon: but they're making a product they know you can't afford
[10:41pm] belabonbon: noone is sitting in a room saying "but we need to reach the ycontrols out there"
[10:42pm] ycontrol: yes i think thats fair
[10:42pm] belabonbon: though maybe there is because of h&m etc but shelving that
[10:43pm] belabonbon: this is sort of what i mean
[10:43pm] belabonbon: that maybe you want some gats
[10:43pm] ycontrol: but i think that using visvim or wtaps or any other obscure japanese brand
[10:43pm] belabonbon: but they don't care that you want them
[10:43pm] belabonbon: they aren't making them for you
[10:43pm] ycontrol: is kind of a red herring
[10:43pm] ycontrol: also frankly id say that visvim is more for someone like me
[10:43pm] ycontrol: than raf or dior
[10:43pm] belabonbon: maybe so
[10:43pm] belabonbon: i could agree with you there
[10:44pm] belabonbon: esp w/r/t aesthetic
[10:44pm] ycontrol: we all probably have a buying ethos closer to what japanese midtier designers are looking for
[10:44pm] belabonbon: like you could wear those clothes
[10:44pm] ycontrol: than high end french and italian designers
[10:44pm] belabonbon: mmm that's true
[10:45pm] belabonbon: and the ethos isn't catered for here i guess
[10:45pm] belabonbon: we're in the minority
[10:46pm] belabonbon: maybe copy paste this convo into the thread

we could of course just say 'fuck all that' and just do a podcast meant purely for CTers, but that seems strange to me.
