Correction, Washington DC is fit for a BKCircus store. But that’s just me.

I LOVE that you brought this topic up! A topic that almost no one really touches upon in fashion! Probably because of the fear, by many designers, being found out that they weren’t the first ones to think of a particular “look”! GASP! I’m going to spin this convo a little though…Lately, I have been thinking about this as it pertains to my identity and my culture. Being a South Asian American Designer and working in the industry for many years, I have noticed the growing popularity of my Indian “heritage”. From stores like Freepeople to big name designers, using techniques, textiles, and influences from India and other parts of South Asia. I’m on the fence with my feelings about this. Unlike the boys at Brooklyn Circus and their fans who appreciate and pay homage to their heritage, I don’t feel like enough credit is given to south Asian influences in the market. Don’t get me wrong, I love it when I see it on people and it does delight me to see it in the market, but also the origins of certain prints and textiles have amazing stories and backgrounds that aren’t being shared in the fashion world. Wish it was and I would love to see more representation of South Asian American designers as well. Well, I could go on but maybe this will be kept for my own blog and convos. Thanks for bringing this up and for everyone sharing some great insight into their feelings, got me thinking!

I agree… These symbols are important and specific to us… As an Alpha, I think its beautiful, as a person who appreciates style i think it is a great piece, but would think that the style can be imitated with out using the specific names and symbols of an organization.

If I had the funds I would purchase and be proud to wear around my brothers. Hopefully an Alpha purchases this.

A lot of good things have been said concerning this topic. It seems to me that the attitude of the wearer is the most important subject. Respect and appreciation are vital aspects of style. I’m not saying that every article of clothing should be thoroughly researched and that the wearer ought to be able to regurgitate the history of whatever piece of clothing he/she is wearing upon request, but rather one should display forethought as to why they are wearing a particular piece. More often than not we wear pieces because we think they look cool. That thought to me is a compliment to the origins of the garment.

I am glad this issue has been brought up and now has turned into a conversation. The Brooklyn Circus blog has been a great source of inspiration, education and celebration and it’s great to see topics spark different perspectives.
When it comes to fashion/style, I personally think that the majority of people that buy clothing are not concerned with it’s historical reference, however their is still a percentage of people that do care and want to be aware of what they are buying/wearing. The saying, “you must know the rules, to break the rules” hold very true in this case. Education is empowerment. Empowerment is Confidence. I believe what happened in this case is people may have reached the point of expecting to be educated by the Brooklyn Circus on what they put up for sale –especially in their vintage shop. Educate us BKc! — so we can be empowered and wear our beautiful BKc buys with confidence.
