We reached out to designer @nicolemclaughlin #Nic

We reached out to designer @nicolemclaughlin #NicoleMcLaughlin's about her orange-themed conceptual shoe design getting knocked off and sold (both versions on slide) and she responded with a written statement.

We very much agree with her conclusions in which she writes: "No creator should feel like they can't share their work for fear of being plagiarized. If I had never shared mine, I wouldn't be in the position I am today. It's a risk, but ultimately you hope there are companies out there looking to do the right thing."

Having a concept stolen may be feel different than a fast fashion retailer blantantly recreating a designer dress, but the threadline is the same. You're using Instagram as a draft for ideas that in a pre-internet world would have been paid for with a consultation fee.

Putting a punctuation point on concept thievery, billionaire Kanye West recently posted a "color study" moodboard on Twitter. Guess whose conceptual design was among his selections? And yes, it's just one image, arguably no big deal, but if you follow and love a designer's work, why not invite her in and make the magic happen?

p.s. McLaughlin is currently auctioning some one-off pieces in an effort with @allbirds and @chinatownmarket to raise funds for @sunrisemvmt and @theokraproject. One-hundred percent of proceeds will go to benefiting these causes. More info available in her Ig bio.

#MegantheeStallion says she's a free agent on the lady's side: "I'm looking for a new girlfriend if anybody tryin' to be a Hot Girl."

Her type? "Little petite [black] tings with tattoos" or "Spanish girls with big ole asses."

Can you think of any good nominees for the Houston Hottie??

Tongue up or tongue down? With #Union Los Angeles'

Tongue up or tongue down? With #Union Los Angeles' Retro 4 collaboration with #Jordan, the choice is yours.

According to owner/designer/streetwear icon #ChrisGibbs, "Back in the day, I had always liked to wear my IVs with a short tongue, so I would fold them over themselves and tie them down. So we decided to fold the tongue over and stitch it down with the same stitch pattern that we used on the 1s.The good news here is that the stitch can be easily removed to reveal a normal tongue size if that's your preference."

Offered in #Guava (style code: DC9533-800) and Off Noir (style code: DC9533-001) and priced at $250, these two Retro Jordan 4 colorways launch on August 29th at Union and select retailers. The Guava color is exclusive to Union (and definitely is the color causing the most buzz!).
