the problem with archive is that eventually prices and hype even for this new gen will rise and the cycle will repeat itself again, probably making another wave of clothes way too overpriced and unattainable
Not really normal people don’t really know much about these brands it’s a very niche category we’re in thinking everyone knows what we wear but really they just see a leather jacket and leather pants and boots or a white teee but they don’t care about cuts or shapes the story behind pieces
@@spentcomb7864yes I have and it’s fun to see, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. We’ve normalized stripper costumes as club outfits, it’s 2024 we might as well normalize all cosplay cause anyone who’s really into fashion ends up with a closet that’s centered around a theme , you’re either soft playing or hard playing . If I wear vans and some dickies with a carhart beanie am I not cosplaying a skater? I think so.
@spentcomb7864 there's nothing wrong with Cosplaying. In fact, I actually have cosplayed myself, and my girlfriend does it a lot as well. While scary at first, when people start to notice the character you are and appreciate it, it becomes a lot of fun! Some people take inspiration from anime on how they style an outfit or dress, even anime itself is inspired by fashion or taps into fashion in some way, i.e. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Sailor Moon, and etc. As well as radio Eva and Fat Grand Order Anniversary events clearly being inspired by street wear and fashion. Have I ever seen people cosplay casually outside? From where I live, no, because we are not a huge clothing based focus town, it's niche in here and really the fashion scene here is only people young adults and teens who go thrifting a lot and street wear. Yet I have seen many fashion inspirations from Sailor Moon, the amount of girls that style pink overalls like Sailor Mars iconic outfits seems like it's the only outfit I seen with pink overalls, even my girlfriend sometimes makes an outfit centered around what Sailor Mars would wear casually. Over time we just might see more casual or anime inspired outfits
What's crazy to me is that I've been following some of those newer archive pages you used as examples in this video and I didn't even know they were considered a new generation. I thought they were just selling lesser known brands. It's really cool to know the history behind this and how the archive scene is evolving. Awesome video.
i love your storytelling. it helps me understand things that are not immediate for me - someone who considers having a good tailor in the city the ultimate holy grail.
ngl pandabuy killed fashion and alot of the people buying archive are just trying to differentiate themselves from current "hypebeasts" and pandabuy warriors by buying 1:1 highly intricate pieces
Thank you Karsten for the video covering a great topic, I was but a wee lad during the golden age and todays prices coupled with living in Sweden has made archive pretty hard to come by. That being said I am very thankful for content creators such as you who has made a previously niche topic/community more accessible for people who are not in the know.
Mother of "Archived Clothes" or more specifically costume sounds is Debby Reynolds. Without her we wouldn't have some early costumes or Hollywood, but I feel like this is probably something totally different.
Loved your open minded take on new gen archive. Although it's not for me I do agree with "let the kids be kids", it's kinda trash how archive pages hoard and inflate prices but imo the prices/hoarding are also justified to a certain extent because as time goes on it'll naturally be harder to find pieces. I'm not gonna act like I have a super different take on archive, its just facts, things are becoming scarce but this is also why archive as the old gen knew will forever be archive, stamped and engrained into the world of fashion.
i feel like a lot of the guys that influenced the hype in archive moved on to vintage / lifestyle oriented stuff (fernando/davil) bc it reminiscing of how cheap and niche archive used to be, while also being able to reference and research on the garments
I think the way archive is used in fashion is fucking cringe. There are true archives within fashion that intentionally collect pieces from pertinent seasons and specific brands because the collector personally identifies with said brand. Archive outside of fashion and archive within fashion, outside of the influencer space, is generally a term that has historically been used to describe collections and collectors with specific personal intent to hoard and preserve. You don’t archive things as a business, and you are not an archiver because you like smelly vintage clothing, you do it because you love collecting. You can’t say you’re a collector if you buy a bunch of random clothes to dress up as an anime character, and so you most definitely can’t say you’re an archiver. Archive fashion has come to represent a very specific set of brands, but there are archives of Dior Homme during Hedi’s tenure at the house, Tom Ford’s Gucci, etc. And yet archive has come to represent the collections of clothes from anti-fashion brands- If fashion is art, which I believe it is, then archiving is about collecting that art form with specific intent. You’re in it for the art, and the meaning behind that art. So, saying “I’m an archiver” or that “you’re into archive fashion” is such a cringe way of saying what you actually mean- you’re into vintage clothes and you’re a glorified thrifter at best, if not a very shitty thrifter considering the markup you’re paying for cosplay items. On the flip side, silver league and archived are asses. I understand the intent behind those pages, but it’s so funny to me when these influencer fashion “archivers” try to upsell Veronique branquinho pieces, old Celine, Balenciaga, etc. or sell used bottega jackets for 3g’s. They’re just glorified sneaker resellers. Archiving is literally something real collectors dedicate their whole lives to, because more often than not, the thing they’re collecting is either or both extremely difficult to find and prohibitively expensive.
This shit is all fun but the prices have gotten so crazy. It’s so fucked. It’s not even fun to look at anymore. Archive blowing up on TikTok only made it so that rich kids who know nothing about this shit are willing to spend thousands on shit that would cost hundreds a few years ago. Just to wear something they don’t really understand but more just follow cause others say it’s cool
consider the Japanese style genre Onii-Kei Gyaruo (older brother style) as that is what the get-up of most archive outfits reference from the fur jackets to the distressed leather. What makes archive fashion archive is the brands you are wearing not the format. Notice how most of these archived brands that uses this approach are Japanese and how anime uses them
I wonder if there's a psychological correlation between traumatized children who withhold poop and people who obsessedly collect and horde things. Similar to sneakerhead resellers I think more and more people just dislike and have lost respect for those types. I can see a similar situation happening with fashion archivist. It's kind of annoying trying to play with a kid who has hogged all the toys just for himself. That David brat who basically had daddy's money bought all of Raf and a good chunk of Helmut Lang. Good for them.
Most of these newer outfits look corny af, but so did people that mixed raf, nine, uc etc. You can see whos got stlye and who is just throwing everything on just to look "different". I mean some individual pieces look good but this whole aesthetic, just throwing all together is stupid to me. You can do much more than this
actually a lot of them freaks do not even understand or respect the design behind these garments before they buy it ,they’re buying it just because they want to show off and proof to everybody else that theyre original or special,they’re the people that is ruining the community
It's a shame that what Issey Sports kicked off a snowball effect of hype and price gouging, but I'm an unapologetic fan of the line. What introduced me to the "archive aesthetic" was initially the vuja de boys, and while I personally would never wear some of ken's stuff, I appreciated a lot of the other clothes that he and his friends would wear. At the time, I was heavily into varsity jackets (before they got hella big again) because I took the school branding off my high school letterman jacket I earned back in the day and customized it to my tastes. Many of Ken and his friends featured and paid special attention to their jackets, many of which were in the realm of the varsity/work/bomber style, and I was chuffed to see people wearing old American varsity jackets when at the time in my very large American city I was the only one still wearing my old (albeit modded) letterman. Then when I saw some old IS jackets featured, something just clicked. The branding was minimal and the fit was boxy, which is what I modified my old jacket to be like. I did some more research and saw some reversible IS jackets which as a concept to me was just awesome! I've been a fan ever since. I was also a fan of the Issey Miyake Homme Plisse line, especially the pleated pants, so imagine my surprise when I found out the I in IS stood for Issey! Anyways, while I'm not a fan of what archive eventually became, I remain a fan of Issey Sports and am always searching for more info around the brand. I wonder if there is a book or catalogue around, just like how you found a Raf Simons book. So even if IS's resurgence wasn't entirely kosher, I still appreciate the brand being rediscovered and introduced to me.
Also this archive pages sell fakes and I learned that the hard way. They also can create a false archive items since the collections are poorly documented.
archive fashion is definitely interesting now that its in the hands of tiktokkers and resellers. I'm all for flared i6w9 and even the fur hoodies, but the fact these brands who nobody knew about years ago are all of a sudden spiking in price is just insane.
let's be real, the second it started getting called "archive fashion" it was over - its just being into garments that you like. The very idea that buying or collecting clothes that aren't the latest season is novel, comes straight out of some bizzaro gross capitalist mindset. Once it became archival it then became a form of abstracted value beyond what the item physically actually was and immediately turned into yet another market and yet another form of power/status competition.
@@littlereindeer3015 You need to improve your reading comprehension because that's not at all what I'm discussing champ. What I'm saying has nothing to do with interests or even something like wanting gatekeep/keep something niche. I'm talking about how capitalism functions and how objects are converted into abstract value beyond their terrestrial qualities.
Just because ppl use the word archieve on their Instagram pages, does not make the displayed clothes archieve pieces. Using the word loosely and wrongly, does not change what this term actually stands for. Just keep deflating things
perhaps the kids are buying archival stuff from different designers, because they have different taste. rick is THE brand for basically anyone who has carti's whole discography in a playlist, which is like a third of the people you're referring to when you say kids. honestly, if anyone is getting grumpy about which brands the new gen of 'archivists' are into, they should look into the brands that the generations before them were into. also raf simmons is like 50, he's literally just a contemporary designer with a back catalogue for the 'old gen of archivists'. it's the exact same thing for kids to be into rick owens, he's a contemporary designer with a back catalogue.
i think archive designer is not dead its gon come back for sure.but so many people and younger generation are into this ryuk japanese brand cs its pretty cheap and accessible unlike designer archive. but then again its not ab the hype or the trend cs the community is still there and will always be there so keep hunting bro (and for reseller i suggest coping both japanese ryuk brand and archive designer piece trust me.)
Problem of archive to me comes with the fact it's mostly old clothes and clothes have a lifetime. also it's mostly second hands, so the exportation process can be messy on some country.
Brothers, I correctly understood that a new rethinking of the archive means the emergence of new brands. who do things without historical (time value). production in 2024 but with the aesthetics of that era? or did I misunderstand?
Telepromter will make you look less to your notes and stare bit more to camera lens. So it doesnt feel you are breaking eye contact. Thank you for the video. Good day Sire.
i dont think wearing kmrii and lgb is really considered “archive” -stylewise, it does have archived pieces but the style is different..a trend now but nonetheless. I do agree with how the instagram fashion pages have been using the word archive for everything
0:42 No one is trying to redefine Archive fashion, fashion trends come and they go and some people just gravitate to one style and stick with it. I believe that archive fashion has been becoming more and more popular and that's okay. People don't have to wear their clothes a certain way because of how someone said you are " suppose" to style this way. You are also conflating Archive fashion with grailed pieces.
and this cycle repeats over and over again, like the guy on 12:24 isn't someone who got into the brands hes wearing early, just a trendhopper wearing 3000$ shoes and 2000$ pants continuing the inflation of old garments further. in the end fashion is a expensive thing so u will never really stop competing with ppl who have way more money to buy the stuff u are looking for when trying to build a closet/finding ur personal style
Oh I’m in the vid I’m the 2nd dreadhead also I’m not a new gen nice vid tho but I’ve been on this I jus have fun at the end of the day it’s materialistic it won’t matter in the next 8-10 yrs all luv
This is one of the few disagreements/negative feelings I have about the new archival groups. Looking cool was always a part of it but it was much more about the history, cultural relevance, influence, creativity, lore of the collection/item, how rare it was etc. Not just looking cool, most archivalists wouldn’t say it’s just “materialistic” it’s seen as art, because it is. Preservation is a big part of it too, saying “whatever who cares in 8-10 years” entirely misses the point.
@@Letsfuckingoooooooo yea true never said that I’ve been on this stuff for years and have watched runways and everything I’m jus sayin most do it for themselves not to please others and jus have fun it’s understandable but at the end of the day it’s just clothes yk
@@xozamir8888 I think most of the new archivers dress well enough but I think the cultural importance shouldn’t be discounted. An archival Alexander McQueen dress is a significant piece of art of importance, depth, creativity, etc. Most clothes are just clothes but that’s what separates it from it just being clothes.
@@Letsfuckingoooooooo I feel like this problem mostly stems from social media algorithms promoting attention-grabbing content thats more about identity rather than design. This also applies to most raf/rick/undercover/n(n)/helmut etc. content you'll find currently on tiktok/reels
@@xeondynasty8336whenever you see an abundance of a certain style on your social media just remember that it’s just an algorithm to get you into the trend. Just wear what you like
Idk why you made the “golden age” sound like the golden age of berserk idk why, looking back it really did feel like that, that transition when supreme and palace and all that got so big that people started wearing it everywhere so transition by selling Bogos and North Face collabs and Yeezys and then this world opening up to you yh it really felt like some Aladdin shit “ whole new world” yh it was crazy time, but tbf now that im older and can afford anything like it honestly has become more about utility and if it feels good on you and reflects you rather than “ archive” I honestly don’t give a fuck I’ll wear my clothes out till they go kingdom come
Like twelve years ago I was collecting Rick, Raf, Yohji, SLP, etc. Sold my whole collection and I’m glad I did before you kids showed up a decade late to ruin it, like you do with everything I like. I can basically tell you guys what you’ll be into in ten years

Archived pieces are archived pieces doesn’t matter what brand it is, YOUR grailed items are your grailed items please wear what you like people not what you hype

I love hearing you talk as if you're a wise old man! What do you know about a brand called Sabotage? Precursor to Stone Island
i dont think wearing kmrii and lgb is really considered “archive” -stylewise, it does have archived pieces but the style is different..a trend now but nonetheless. I do agree with how the instagram fashion pages have been using the word archive for everything
Really well put together vid big K!
I miss the old P.o.k. discord server such a close knit community
0:42 No one is trying to redefine Archive fashion, fashion trends come and they go and some people just gravitate to one style and stick with it. I believe that archive fashion has been becoming more and more popular and that's okay. People don't have to wear their clothes a certain way because of how someone said you are " suppose" to style this way. You are also conflating Archive fashion with grailed pieces.
Nah
Missing the old videos...
Crazy how we went full circle with 80s, 90s, and 2000s nu-metal. Now we wait for the mid-late 2000s emo revival (shudder).
Great Video Karsten!
washer piano outro go hard

This was very insightful. Cheers bro
Here before this blows up on the algorithm🔥
Great video! Thanks!

Thx for entertaining me, while I drink my homemade Expresso with Oatmeal
and this cycle repeats over and over again, like the guy on 12:24 isn't someone who got into the brands hes wearing early, just a trendhopper wearing 3000$ shoes and 2000$ pants continuing the inflation of old garments further. in the end fashion is a expensive thing so u will never really stop competing with ppl who have way more money to buy the stuff u are looking for when trying to build a closet/finding ur personal style
looks like frugal aesthetics editing style, even a similar vid that he’d make
Oh I’m in the vid I’m the 2nd dreadhead also I’m not a new gen nice vid tho but I’ve been on this I jus have fun at the end of the day it’s materialistic it won’t matter in the next 8-10 yrs all luv
This is one of the few disagreements/negative feelings I have about the new archival groups. Looking cool was always a part of it but it was much more about the history, cultural relevance, influence, creativity, lore of the collection/item, how rare it was etc. Not just looking cool, most archivalists wouldn’t say it’s just “materialistic” it’s seen as art, because it is. Preservation is a big part of it too, saying “whatever who cares in 8-10 years” entirely misses the point.
@@Letsfuckingoooooooo yea true never said that I’ve been on this stuff for years and have watched runways and everything I’m jus sayin most do it for themselves not to please others and jus have fun it’s understandable but at the end of the day it’s just clothes yk
@@xozamir8888 I think most of the new archivers dress well enough but I think the cultural importance shouldn’t be discounted. An archival Alexander McQueen dress is a significant piece of art of importance, depth, creativity, etc. Most clothes are just clothes but that’s what separates it from it just being clothes.
@@Letsfuckingoooooooo oh ofc ofc don’t worry I agree with everything you saying I feel you brotha
@@Letsfuckingoooooooo I feel like this problem mostly stems from social media algorithms promoting attention-grabbing content thats more about identity rather than design. This also applies to most raf/rick/undercover/n(n)/helmut etc. content you'll find currently on tiktok/reels
This Japanese archive stuff is now getting hella overplayed, that I am starting to hate it rip my jp archive phase since January 2023😔
thats when it started blowing up on tiktok ur not og lol
@@InMyGlamEra I now I am not og I was seeing it on TikTok before January I just bought it during january☠️🎷
go outside, talk to a women, start a family, stop being chronically online
@@xeondynasty8336whenever you see an abundance of a certain style on your social media just remember that it’s just an algorithm to get you into the trend. Just wear what you like
?
and now im getting into archive, because of this vid. anyone know a good yahoo japan middle man?
I love your hoodie! Is it archive or can you still buy it?
holy crap thank yuo bro. now i understand what archive fashion means. now i see.....
i hate how inaccessible fashion has become in terms of prices
14:10 yo is that a piano cover of washer?
Idk why you made the “golden age” sound like the golden age of berserk idk why, looking back it really did feel like that, that transition when supreme and palace and all that got so big that people started wearing it everywhere so transition by selling Bogos and North Face collabs and Yeezys and then this world opening up to you yh it really felt like some Aladdin shit “ whole new world” yh it was crazy time, but tbf now that im older and can afford anything like it honestly has become more about utility and if it feels good on you and reflects you rather than “ archive” I honestly don’t give a fuck I’ll wear my clothes out till they go kingdom come
What’s the hoodie?
But why is a crusty 2016 acg alpine 1500???
credits visual is wow
This video felt like eating cotton candy, just a lot of air and no substance 😭
Damn I’m always late to hype now I gotta spend hundreds
Don’t usually comment but just wanted to say I really appreciate your content, (also can someone give me ID on the hoodie he’s wearing)
Chito Givenchy
oh a Slint cover at the end of the video
This guy doesn't get the respect he deserves
"It was very formative as a young adult..." Dude looks like he's 17 :D
fashion is expression...keep doing you
Like twelve years ago I was collecting Rick, Raf, Yohji, SLP, etc. Sold my whole collection and I’m glad I did before you kids showed up a decade late to ruin it, like you do with everything I like. I can basically tell you guys what you’ll be into in ten years
what will we be into in ten years?
@@Swatta1 streetwear and avant garde will fall off, a casual menswear look will become more popular, brands will cater to this and make very comfy, relaxed attire like linen shirts and trousers with loose fits. Hybrids between comfortable everyday trainers and more formal shoes will be created and worn a lot
from which brand and season is the show in 7:23? i need that skirt
Late responce but its rick owens 2002 "sparrows"
People who wear these "Archive clothes" were bullied at school for wearing in-superior sports brands.
You know who looks good in these clothes...?
Nobody.
Ur dad def hits you
Your dad has no ankles

Archived pieces are archived pieces doesn’t matter what brand it is, YOUR grailed items are your grailed items please wear what you like people not what you hype
