#FearofGod's lower-priced #Essentials line just dr

#FearofGod's lower-priced #Essentials line just dropped a fresh capsule at #PacSun. Items range in price from $40 for a t-shirt up to $90 for a #hoodie or #sweatpants.

#FOG was launched in 2013 by #LosAngeles-based #JerryLorenzo who launched Essentials in 2018. On why he launched the line, he told @vogue, "To create a "diffusion collection for the kids who couldn't afford what we were doing at a luxury level."

However, Lorenzo now sees that thinking as dated. He added, To me what I was doing with Essentials felt dishonest after a while, because it was just a watered down version of Fear of God. I wanted to provide something that can stand alongside the main line as its own being."

"We don't feel that accessibility needs to be a knock off or a cheaper version of a better thing. Why not just make a great thing at an accessible price point that's founded in honesty?"

South Korean-born @hiimdi #DaheeKim sends a messag

South Korean-born @hiimdi #DaheeKim sends a message through her @bafcsm bachelor of arts graduate collection that many of her generational peers can surely relate to. Repping for young humans who feel like they’re carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, Kim has created a six piece collection providing a soft resting place when the struggle that is life becomes too much to bear and one needs to take a moment to rest.⁣
⁣
Asked about the roots of her collection, Kim told @i_d, “Growing up in South Korea, students have to comply with strict rules and standardized acts at school. They can’t express themselves visually. A perfect example is the Korean school uniform, there are strict rules on skirt lengths and customization, for example. For my collection, I drew inspiration from the abandonment of those rules, celebrating self-representation and individuality.⁣
⁣
“While making it, I was quite self-conscious about a few things: Is this too big? Is this too ridiculous? But I was able to work with joy and confidence when I realized that it wasn’t about making a collection for other people. It was about showing who I am at the moment. If I can be honest about that, it’s a great starting point for respecting others and who they are, too.”

#RicoNasty would like a word! In an interview wit

#RicoNasty would like a word! In an interview with @britishvogue the Washington, DC-born Rico (real name Maria-Cecille Kelly) weighs in on the challenges female rappers face versus their male peers. Referencing a cancellation double standard, she points out #CardiB and #DojaCat's recent trevails. ⁣
⁣
Rico explained, “Women, on the other hand, when old Vines of Cardi B resurfaced they tried to crucify her. The Doja Cat [backlash], does anybody even know what’s going on? People just saw her on a chatroom and it’s like, ‘Fuck that bitch, she hates herself’. How are y’all doing that to people?"⁣
⁣
Rico also discusses issues faced by all Black women: "Black women can’t be sad, either. They can’t be emotional. They can’t be angry. Only thing you can be is sexual. It’s frustrating that we are hypersexualised from the time we are 13, sometimes eight. The minute you start getting titties, you start being sexualised. You’re a hoe, you’re a thot. And our own people call us that." 🗣️🗣️🗣️ #femalerapper #rap
