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.

Quite excellent read that was! Particularly liked his responses to the ever shifting tides of trends and what's deemed fashionable. I do question whether the rise and growth of heritage clothing should be considered a trend or more of a complete cultural shift? Good piece any way you look at it

Couldn't agree more. If you enjoy dystopian sci if like Bladerunner, you'll especially like it. If you don't, you might still. He's a genius and really a talented futurist.

Ruedi on his collection in swiss 20minuten newspaper. Unfortunately in German.

Thanks a lot, @Chruschtschow for posting this, my good friend Ruedi has been (as usual) too modest and/or too busy to let me know. Cool publication.
And for those who neither speak German nor have a good translation engine, alone the pics in the article are worth it. -
I loved that article….But the FB link did not work for me....

"$400 jeans are the Kanye West of frivolity"
Best comment ever
Enjoyed the article dude.

Christ but Internet comments really push my buttons. The strongest case yet for selective extermination.
A lot of "real men" posting there according to themselves. And yeah TrickH, why don't you spend $400 on manly man things like weed, whores and….eh..food?
-
great stuff!

@TrickHell:
Article I wrote about why I wear $400 jeans for Made Man. Yes, I kind of sound like a dick, but it's meant to be for comedic effect and / or clickbait trolling. IH mentioned.
Good article @TrickHell ! Is your employment history in the blurb real or for effect?
And damn! That's a whole lotta hatin' on the FB site!
