In my first year of running Illthreads, I’ve only opened my store a few times and already I’m labeled as a hype? I’m not even open 24/7 where everyone can get their hands on Illthreads merchandise. I’m not even as popular as the other brands out there. I don’t understand it. I hate those people who label crap as hype, just to make themselves feel like they’re better.

Don’t let the opinions affect the way you dress. Don’t give up your freedom of expression. No one should be able to tell you what your style should be.
