Rejecting logos

[Lena]

[sohoxchic]

i really hate logos, because they're tacky and show a lack of self-confidence

Yes, those Hermes H belts are a whole different level of logomania, the tasteful level (LV used to be on this level). I want an H belt soo much.

I think logos are a stage that some people go through...

but hopefully they realize soon enough that they are tacky, immature, and obnoxious.

Alot of people just wear logos so others will see that they have money or style. But most people who have money and style hate the logos and would never wear them. So I don't see the point to do that (wear it to show off) although some logobags do look good but all the fakes make me think twice before buying one.

Seriously, the H belt of Hermes annoys me...but I do like the H on the wallet and watch, the C and D metal charms on the dior saddle bags and the nicer YSL logo on the totes are also better than the others imo..

I think fashion is just taking a break from the logo-mania a few years.
When it is all but a faded memory again, I am sure it will get revived, given how fashion works in cycles.

Right now the H belt or whatever accessoire its placed on may look stylish and elegant, but when more people will wear it and realize it's Hermes, the more it'll become the same sh*t as LV. Kinda sad actually. But that's just what I think.

 

[Aida.Sevan]

Actually, I don't mind logos, but just on "cheap" clothes. Bot I wouldnt wear monograms from Dior, LV and so on. I just think that its not right to show everyone that you have much more money than they have. It can become dangerous walking on the street.

I think Louis Vuitton should make their bags out of materials that common sweat shops cant copy... i personally love their epi leather because it isnt easy to copy and most people with fake bags would prefer the logo everywhere to try to prove that the come from money.

 

[travis_nw8]

logos are for the insecure. i prefer to know i'm wearing quality through the cut and fabric and not by logos- reject logos and bring back discreet luxury.

 

[*JJ*]

personally, i don't care if a bag is full of logos. i buy a bag if i like it, no matter whether it's plastered with logos or not.
i don't think it matters and i don't think it's showing off because people who know lv, dior, gucci,... know all the bags, so they'll recognise it anyway, even if it only has a descreet logo. so wearing a bag with logos on it isn't more tacky than that. a gucci bag is a gucci bag.
on the contrary, bags without logos are usually the more expensive ones (see lv) so wearing them shows that you have even more money.
so what the hell...

Today I went to school with a classmate I hate but she lives just near me so we usually go together, and she was wearing and ugly black leather belt with a huge D&G logo , and I've thought about this thread and what all you have said: she's insecure, and she always want to show that she is wealthy, because she thinks that, then she'll be able to mix with wealthy people.

I'm not a fan of printed logos like vuitton or goyard or whatnot.

But the sad fact is that even if I want to avoid logos some things are so distinctive that it sort of feel like its unavoidable to be "marked" by what you're wearing. Like the red soles at the bottom of louboutins, or the way a balenciaga le dix or a ysl mombasa looks. I mean unless we all go for bespoke, what everyone wears is in a way is identifiable, logo or not.

Companies advertise these items, stores display them, runways shows highlight them and celebrity pics/mags gawk over them. So just because a balenciaga or a louboutin isn't printed all over with a stylized logo, it's still very recognizable.

 

[emma peel]

I guess I'm really just agreeing with pointup on this issue.

^I agree..

But at the same time .. things like balenciaga.. can be a "status" item, because it's so recognizable.. I mean.. yeah, it can be a knockoff (but think back to the LV craze)

People just seem to be moving on to another type of clothing recognition.

I know someone at college who is exactly like that.She's always going on about her cartier watch and LV bag.she's so obviously insecure with herself,I actually feel sorry for her.

Not necessarily. It could mean that you're so desperate to look rich, you haven't eaten or paid rent in a month.

 

[Paullw]

Surely unless you know someone very well you can't really tell that much about their personality from what they wear. Some people are pround that they've worked hard enough or saved for whatever they've bought. Admittedly some people probably do buy these things because they're insecure, but it can hardly be all of them.

As the saying goes "Don't judge a book by its cover."

I'd rather wear logos than judge people by them, and thats judging either way, good or bad.
