The ReBranding of Members Only

I remember I blggd abt MEMBERS ONLY a while ago, and some1 cmmnted and told me that the brand was purchased by a bigger company, and that bigger company looks like it wants to capitalize on the large alternative market.

I remember the days when Members Only Jackets were for self-perceived authentic alts. Now it seems like they are trying to compete with American Appy to go after the ‘mainstreamers who need something that looks retro for an 80s themed party’ demographic.

By capitalizing on the Members Only brand, are they unintentionally weakening it?

wanna get buzzed and buy some animal print Members Only Jackets?

Members Only also designed some leggings. In order to be ‘more than just b0ring leggings‘, they provided the service of ‘drawing on fake pockets.’

Do yall prefer fake or real pockets? I feel like this is something you’d see ‘a poor person trying to be fashionable’ wearing.

I wonder if I’d rather have the POCKET leggings or Lindsay Lohan’s ‘Knee Pad Slut’ leggings. s0 hard 2 make decisions.

But srsly yall…is MEMBERS ONLY headed straight for Inauthenticville?
Might have to start thinking about selling my vintage Members Only jackets to Buffalo Exchange before they really start losing their value. sux.

BUT SRSLY…
who ‘owns’ the CC logo?

Chanel? Cut Copy? Crystal Castles? Crooks & Castles?

    chester copperpot filed suit against oswald (”the penguin”) chesterfield cobblepot over the rights to CC back in 2K0. it’s been a matter of continuing speculation among top conspiracy theorists that copperpot “just so happened” to be visiting his attorneys in the first tower when some guys knocked it down with an airplane.

    (the penguin did it.)
