if you know the background song we're already friends
Hello my friend
“One shot to the head”
Wassup bro
Skeleton By the Goat!
Whole lotta red
Ian was really one of the first social media influencers.. this guy who is 5 ft tall and very unpleasant looking( I've seen him in person. he's the size of a 9 year old boy) and yet everyone was trying to dress like him it was maddening.. you would go into soho and literally see Ian clones(usually white kids)
💖💕
Unpleasant looking ? Tf
Nigga didn’t wanna call him ugly😂
I’m 6’5 that’s my Father 🤞🏾
😂😂😂😂😂😂
In my opinion this is the first video that ACTUALLY covers ian connors roots/beginnings instead of jumping straight into pyrex then revenge storm. Good shit you really did your research.
thank you bro that means a lot - wanted to tell the full story
@@Threaducation If you know anything about Bloody Osiris it would be sick to see a video on him aswell. Just a suggestion tho
Its not, there are so many its a chewed up topic
Ian and drake met all the way back in his tumblr days. There’s a picture of them together back in like 2012. Drake let rocky open up a show for him and way back then. I think that’s where the connection is from
haven't heard anything about that but if its true thats fire lmk if you can find that photo
@@Threaducation if you google ian Connor drake it’s the first thing that comes up. Drake’s dapping him up and he’s looking away. He posted the picture on his Instagram saying “that time I told drake no new friends” many years ago but that’s a lot of scrolling. Ian also went on tour with Rihanna and they used to date so there’s that too. Also the bathroom selfie’s started in 2012 pre wiz.
@@Threaducation also I just remembered Ian and John Ross doing a styling thing for ovo back in like 2015. Carti might have been involved with it as well
@@Threaducation yea he's right and even tho there's a bit of info missing from this vid it was still good, keep it up man!
I remember offset hitting up Ian because he wanted him to style him he has always had industry contacts
Those off white forces would be hard with the jail suit 💀
Bruh is free i think
@@Itschaboylamari Nah
@@rvsouthern2987 my sister said sum bout that and she on his finsta so idk maybe
von! That means your sister bad, slide the @
@@unidentifiedperson5040 looooool
its so weird seeing stuff like this being in soho daily from 2009-2014 seeing ian luka kerwin and all them and how far they have come .
for real - im planning on doing more videos about this era including in depth videos about Luka, kerwin, mike the ruler, Austin, etc.
@@Threaducation go for it lol i got a really old tb pic from 14-15 of luka my cousin and somebody i went to hs with if uu wana use it . also the last clip was the most nostalgic cuz i remember ian being in random dance videos back in the day most iconic was prolly valid like salad dance lmfaooo
@@yearight6294 yea for sure if you got anything DM - also super glad someone saw the ending just had to add that in there 😂
good ol' tumblr days, plus i laughed my ass off watching ken rebel and glyn brown on yt🤣
@@Threaducation You the goat bro alot of us fashion niggas knew this stuff but nobody has made a video about this glad someone finally did and its well put together. Def look forward to the Mike the ruler one and see what he's doing now compared to his Vfiles days lol
i think his downfall came from all the sexual assault allegations against him...just saying dude is a creep
he’s a 5’5” model with 33 allegations WHY DO THEY FOLLOW THIS MAN
I’m a huge Kanye fan and followed Ian back in like 2015 early 2016 and stopped after all of that shit hit the fan so yeah lol.
@@corey6572 he didn’t do it
@@HezOnline we got a Ian defender 😭
@@corey6572 Y'all need to look into what an ALLEGATION means. They're baseless claims. I can literally say right now "corey raped me" and BOOM, you're now an alleged rapist. None of those allegations went through. They were just a bunch of women banning together to try and cancel him but without any evidence. But say what y'all want and continue being poor.
You guys forgot about the huge L Ian took on revenge storm. He literally sent 200k worth of shoes for free.. After that was downhill
kinda but he showed akademiks he made like 700k off of one drop so
How did he ship 200K worth of stuff?
@Bloody Pulp swear? He had the shoes costing $0 and all they paid was shipping?☠️
@@ZZZX369 I remember when this happened. It was some issue with PayPal, I think people could charge back money after they paid for shoes and then they got shoes and their money back. I never used paypal, so I’m not 100% sure it was exactly like this. I also remember Ian asking people who got shoes for free to pay him on his IG story. It was all round fashion side of the internet.
Do asap nast..Low key one of the most influential fashion figures too
you right
@@Threaducation do nast brooo
yes and hes really into interior decoration
Nah he is lowley one of the best but he is not that popular Ion know why
@@lllandvogt5912 he's not a fore in music thats why
Carti was his “good friend” but it took Ian’s assistant to actually play his music.....
I mean bruh carti was prob recording on a fucking shitty mike and stuff man it mustve been trash at first
As he got better the music mustve been pretty fire so ian took notice
yeah being a good friend is keeping it 100
@@bagmoves5189 seems you never heard Cartis old stuff from round those years, his early music from 2014-2015 is really fire
@@21_God yup I like it more than his new shit, I still blast broke boi sometimes
He did a great job of building solid connections with people who are in the industry.
He's popular because of how he dresses, his job styling celebs and collaborations but tbh he did get a bit lucky because all the people he met and were close to were starting to blow up in their careers.
It was easy to hang out with rocky, carti etc because they weren't so big yet.
That's the sauce for anyone who wants to make it.
Rocky was big tho
@@Tippa2000 yea but carti was still pre-magnolia
it’s pretty well known that after ian fought theo in paris he started to get a lot of hate and accusations and because of that kanye’s manager told kanye to take pastelle back from him.
The Theophilus fight had me lose respect for him.
This channel is really a fascinating look into this particular subculture. However i cannot be the only one to notice how most of the stories have far more to do with hype than with any sort of aesthetics. 'Brands' seem to get popular because of who is wearing them rather than what they look like. The designs are almost an afterthought, they're barely even mentioned.
This channel should be called Hypeducation rather than Threaducation. And from that perspective, it is a completely fascinating look at how proximity to celebrity is the primary currency of this subculture.
Reminds of the Lester Bangs quote from almost famous about the the music business turning into an industry of cool. This has to be the purest distillation of an industry that's almost entirely about 'cool'. And fittingly, channels like these do make sanctimonious videos about the genius of these fashion stars...
Bruh that skeletons caught me lacking
how has this channel not blown up
it will im just warming up 😉
hidden secret but it will by us supporting it! 🤞🏾#loveneverdies
I like it low key
@@Threaducation extremely underrated channel
I just found it on the TH-cam rising creator page so it’s gonna blow up very soon
this the only channel doing content like this. we need more!
Very articulated and informative for those who do not know of Ian.
“Two people I didn’t know, playboi carti and Iann Connor”
Me: 😤😤😭😭😱😱😱😱😱🤬🤬🤬🤬
They weren’t that big back in 2015
@@YungPapiSpiice Michael Jackson wasn’t big at some point doesn’t mean you won’t feel a way when someone talks causally later
@@fbi6555 you not even lying my boy
Fr
breh you still dont know carti xD, cant even spell his name right
this video is really well structured and made. you just gained a sub 🤘🏽
This got me recommended and its exaclty what i been looking for. I dont know any other channels that make fashion content like this and your videos are really professional altough you have just a small amount of subs. Absolutly love it! Greetings from Germany
halt echt
Grüß Gott
Playboi Carti with the vintage FUCT shirt, 90s sk8life steez.

Bruh, "Threaducation"?! That's simple but GENIUS! 💡Dope doccies.
haha yes thank you bro! ✌️
Just seeing your channel now, it’s a well needed channel
thank you!
This video is a gem g, keep it up you’ll blow one day 🙏
i've rewatched this video 3 times, keep it up bro
This was very well made, I saw it in my recommends, I didn’t really now who Ian was- besides the controversial stuff.
This was very well made, kept me engaged fully.
glad you liked it, thanks for the kind words
@@Threaducation looking forward to the next video, binge watching the others- Rick Owens video is very interesting.

@@Threaducation yeah man, I sent your page to a couple like mixed people. Hope you have a good day bro!
@@shalomythehomie4407 appreciate that - you too!
the correct pronunciation “AMBITIOUS ADE” is pronounced (ah-day), it’s a nigerian name from the o’oduan (yoruba) tribe
Yea u right but I people close to him usually said ade (ad-de)
Lol no fr
U better tell em CCE MEDIA GROUP. Listen 9ja got dat natural flex
let em know , naija tings
And “Joo” is pronounced “Joe”, which a lot of people don’t know where “Valid Like Salad” cane from, but they play it at all the kid’s birthday parties lol
Man y'all don't know what it was like in NY at the time lol. It was so LIT during that era. Specifically for Creatives. It was a renaissance
I wish London had the same vibe 😩
Good ole days man
please keep making videos they're so good!
definitely will keep em coming!
Great video, high quality
lesson from this: rare supreme opens doors
guess I gotta get some rare supreme 😂
heavy into yo work bro keep it up!

thank you bro - glad you like!
Update: Ian is a free man 🙌
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
thanks for watching 🙏
man thus channel is so underrated no cap
this channel is so underrated I love it. you should do a spider worldwide by young thug video soon.
glad you like the channel - that could be a cool video
@@Threaducationxsv
Dope work mane. That is an awesome backstory you have.
thank you mane
Damn, straight nostalgia watching this. Especially being from the Towns 🌃.
Keep up the good content.
🙏
*As the flyest guy in the world, I must say...this was legendary. Love the channel. Shalam.* 💯🙏🏿🚀👽
thank you, means a lot coming from the flyest guy in the world 💫
You just earned yourself a subscription and a like
Love this bro keep going with Ian
100k+ channel soon man. Keep up the nice work
Hope so!
THIS CHANNEL TOO FUCKING LIT!!!!!! Alll the things I needed to hear 👂
Highly underrated channel
Your videos are amazing! Keep it up🔥
thank you 🙏
a icon that ended up a villain
Big FAX
fake numbers
Die a hero or live long enough to become a villain
great video. just want to state my opinion, the rape allegations definitely hold some weight. for anyone who has been around the rap or streetwear scene, it's always been common practice to have sex with or coerce intoxicated females into sex. shit's sad...
Fax but IMO I don’t think he raped anyone Bc at the time thots on twitter would try to smash for twitter fame
@@FazePew 33 allegations you got to be in Denial if you think they’re all lying 🤥
@@annabel6182 bro 33 that’s a high number it’s probably made up then
And crazy how not 1 out of 33 made a police report 🤔
@@FazePew its crazy you’re blindly defending somebody you dont even know. Rape is deemed as a shameful thing, so its hard for many to speak out, especially if they are lone. Also its hard to prove without evidence, so that is another reason for people who alleged ian of rape not filing a report.
At the end of the day, you are actively supporting an alleged rapist who you dont even know.
@@Air.keccc1 at the end of the day u don’t even know if he is an actual rapist
great video man
great vid tho, you deserve more subs
I just subscribed cause of your name bro... that shi go hard
Dodging these sexual assault comments LMAOOO
he was never plead guilty and the one charge he got from a women from atlanta he was plead not guilty so why in the earth does eerybody act like him being a rapist is a fact stop that wannabe woke shit and judging people just because somone starts word of mouth shit especially when that person is amber rose who really started this whole ant ian movement for her me too campaign and was the person who said there were 21 women involved.
@@rafowens3168 you could have just said you defend rapists instead of typing that think piece LMAOO calm down poindexter
Ian should be an A&R for a record label
Great video 👍
great content bro
appreciate that ✌️
your videos are fire bro
Appreciate that
thanks im doing him for a project this helped alot
Nice vid bro. Very informative 🙏
thank you !
You did a great job! Keep it up!
thank you bro
you goin up bro 🚀
all the way up 💫
7:33 the amount of nostalgia i got from seeing yachty like this is unreal
for real - before the red beads
Great video. I think it would be great to add a timeline of some sort. I knew the order of things only because of having followed Ian for a while but due to you jumping between paths in the story it may be hard for others to follow.
I remember Drake sent his OVO sneakers to Ian a long time ago and Ian dissed the shoe
Great video
I feel like he just has a name but doesn't make a lot of great stuff. His most popular clothing items were both parodies of other things. Why is he so popular? Great in depth video tho
Hes popular because he is rich and we dont know how. Thats what makes people famous
@@gb5634This isn't true. Ian wasn't rich but became rich. He did a great job of building solid connections with people who are in the industry. He's popular because of how he dresses, his job styling celebs and collaborations but tbh he did get a bit lucky because all the people he met and were close to were starting to blow up in their careers. It was easy to hang out with rocky, carti etc because they weren't so big yet.
That's the sauce.
Right place at the right time
@@telepathy90 people still don’t understand that success ain’t really from that hard work bullshit it’s just bring lucky for the most part
@@renebleu8711 you just proved my point. You dont just get connections because you dress good wearing stuff from h&m and nike. He got popular from the way he dressed because he was wearing expensive designer shit from the jump. Meaning he started off stunting and its interesting.
Hes so good at winning he managed to get over 30 rape allegations!!! And hit a girl on camera... honestly so inspiring
all them women are using him for clout bruh. that's why none of them went to court.
When you become successful you’re an easy target
@@rexeberhart7193 You really think over 30 different women made a claim this serious over clout??
@@styck8721 it was a made up number by amber rose. there weren't actually 30+ allegations she just made that up to get more people talking about it.
@@styck8721 yes because that happened to several celebrities, it's for settlement money. I don't put the legitimate victim out there in the same basket because celebrities are not all angels they are human byt they are also easy target
people feel however they feel about the allegations but if Ian was talking to Rubi when she was 16/17 then to me he’s definitely a creep. in my opinion
Keep making videos bro!
thank you bro more on the way 🙏
great vid bro
7:03 "Now Wiz Khalifa isn't really known for his style." I strongly disagree. Wiz in his early years outside of his mixtapes was known for his style. Cargo shorts, Converse sneakers, Crewneck sweaters, Levi's 501 jeans, Fitteds with the brim bent upwards, that was all popularized by him during that era. He literally had everybody in the country at one point dressing like him.
So glad you included Noah in the vid
good video!!
Great video 😄
Thanks!
As much as I do not agree nor like this man, he is a influential icon of the youth and social media's style wouldn't be where its at if it wasn't for this man
Shoulda spoke about his friendship with osiris and dior as well, they bolstered him as well
Thank god for TH-cam recommendations dope video what a gem 💎 of a channel
welcome to the channel 🙏
Fire documentary 🔥
best ian video out bro
I was here before the channel blew up
Good video bro good detail
🤝
thank you for this
thank you for watching 💫
hands down he should be having more love for his channel ‼️‼️🙏 great video
💯
this was a very good video
love this stuff
Well put together video! but uhhh calling sicko a full collection is a stretch bro
Damn, this video needs more recognition
What’s the background music
u should do a vivienne westwood story one
just found your channel and shit ure good
He also styled Fredo Santana!
Does anyone else notice that the asap mob and New York is modern fashion. They are connected to the start of the most popular modern street brands and designers out right now.
Steps to become a fashion star:
1. Time travel
2. Rob a store for some money
3. Cop some rare Supreme (hardest part)
4. Post some fit pics
5. Wait for Ian
despite all the allegations around his name no one can ever deny his influence
Thank you!
I heard he's still doing half his sentence they let him do his first half then get out then he had to do the rest so thats why hes back in.
Song in the background ? In the begging of video
Super dope video, you should really do a video on Lil Gnar's brand "Gnarcotic"
no
