That is a really great piece, it does so well to capture a lot of exactly what I love and hate about the denim scene. I have a personal view that the last three years have been a time of quick evolution in the denim scene, which has seen the overall aesthetic become much more mainstream and has also made what we love much more inviting and accessible to a much wider range of people.
Personally, I don't mind this if people come into this scene and love it in the same way that those of us who have been here for a while do, the denim scene kind of gets you like that. The only time it grinds my gears these days (I'm much more mellow than I used to be), is when you get some graduate of fashion, or design or marketing trying to tell you that to be into denim then you MUST be into fashion. This is more a thing I see and experience regularly on social media, so many damned experts out there these days that no one really seems to know anything.
I couldn't give an airborne copulation about fashion, I used to when I was younger, I wear what I wear because of nothing more than I love how it looks, I love how it evolves, and I know that it won't fail me for many, many years to come.
Sorry…..that turned into a bit of a thought explosion.

It's funny, he seems trapped between technical street wear and Japanese denim and repro wear. Not bad choices if you ask me. Errolson Hugh is his favorite designer, and I do not think you'd ever find Acronym at SE.
I'll wear my Acronym jacket with an IH flannel underneath and decent jeans all the time… But I have no concept of style, I just like stuff

I'm with you. I have one of Hugh's unbelievable jackets and two of his bags (one gets carried every day) and wear it with Iron Heart.

I think the article sums up the brand well. Good press.

WOW! That is a great interview. I never really "got" William Gibson, but I share so many of his thoughts and opinions on clothing it would seem, he simply conveys them better.

This.

@hectic bought me a few Gibson books a couple of years ago, and I could not bring myself to read them (not my style). Based solely on this interview I will now read them.

It does beg the question when there's going to be an IHxWG co-lab on something.
Mega, I'd suggest you DON'T start with Count Zero. It's good, but will have you rolling your eyes as it's too fashion focused. Go with the classic of the Sprawl Trilogy, start with Neuromancer. Remember when it was written time wise, sit back and enjoy the ride!
-
I tried to read Neuromancer back in the early 90s and didn't get into it. I generally hated the entire cyberpunk sub genre; so much so that I largely stopped reading sci fi for several years, since that seemed to be all that was getting published back in those days. Perhaps I should give it another go and see if age has mellowed me on it.
Let me know how you fare with Gibson, Round 2, Mega.
