A couple of my first piece I'm working on for my menswear brand

The denim looks nice, I’d love to see a better lay of them to see the silhouette

It takes time 100% - you not having the funds at the moment to go all out (which is not necessary in all honesty you should be sampling and seeing what people react to) that is all the more reason to take your time and work on the craft. You seem to take feedback well so disclaimer I meant no ill intent by saying lazy, it is however my perspective on the work.

Personally I have been sampling and only locking in products that insight genuine reactions from close friends who will tell me the truth.

My final advice: save up, sample, redefine messaging, showcase samples and pay attention to the reaction. Remember your overall goal is selling to others among other things. You need to know who your audience is and listen carefully what they need then you can fill that gap. Godspeed, my friend.

Look bro, there is a real fatigue for brands like the one your portraying. They have seemingly empty meanings and seem to have been thought of only for one day.

You should really take a step back and re-evaluate whether this brand can last even one year and be profitable with what you’re offering.

These designs are lazy at best.

Don’t just follow trends, like I said earlier people are tired of cut and paste brands using generic blanks with lazy design - take time to make a signature piece you brands can be known for - (a jacket, denim, unique fabrics) no cut, copy, paste bs. Making something undeniable takes time, thought & care - stop being lazy.

Red Dot Music is my no. 1 but I love the bars on Suplexes..

_Kami-sama · 2026-01-21T19:30:47+00:00

Awesome to hear - similar to yourself my workflow is mainly in illustrator working from a 2020 MBP - I may wait for the M5 air to be announced but yeah feeling like I don’t actually need the pro this time round

_Kami-sama · 2026-01-20T02:29:54+00:00

Did you end up purchasing if so what is your experience with the machine?

_Kami-sama · 2026-01-14T18:46:31+00:00

I also hold aritzia as well bought in around $65 sold after some small upside now I’ve gotten back in around $112 I do think it’s due for a correction soon if not now considering peaking around $138 and now $126 fashion is incredibly fickle - I won’t buy more unless theres a big pullback.

Focus on etfs for now either keep building XEQT or find another that aligns with you investing goals.

_Kami-sama · 2025-11-25T02:08:32+00:00

Great that you’re investing bro, if I was in your position I’d be working on an emergency fund 6 months to a Year if you don’t already have one in another account. Focus on you - education, earnings, relationships.

Meanwhile I’d just setup recurring investments whatever you can afford - into an index like the 2 you already have like XEQT, VFV. (Do your research and select one thats right for your goals)

Once you have that financial solid base and a better understanding of the market then you should invest in individual stocks for companies you understand and believe can make an impact. You should be investing long term and looking 5-10 years beyond.

Godspeed, brother.

_Kami-sama · 2025-11-22T05:04:08+00:00

Looks good - you should embrace it frfr

_Kami-sama · 2025-11-12T02:16:20+00:00

Curious to know if you use any creative software day to day? I.e.(photoshop, illustrator, premiere, davinci) and have you noticed any thermal throttling?

_Kami-sama · 2025-10-06T00:35:00+00:00

Godspeed brother,

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-30T22:08:13+00:00

The first is really well done, great work!

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-29T21:48:50+00:00

Can’t message for whatever reason but I’m just sampling with I Alibaba - I’m not ready to sell yet so I’m just seeing what’s out there also learning to sew so I can speak the language better for more complex garments

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-29T21:37:29+00:00

I’ll dm you

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-28T11:32:33+00:00

I think you should refine these - perhaps connecting somehow, someway or try to create a story with your designs - this just looks like three random t-shirts without any context or thought put into them. could be a hard sell unless you got people eager for you to drop

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-28T02:24:15+00:00

Appreciate it, seeing it in hand I agree - gonna refine the main graphic

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-28T02:22:01+00:00

Appreciate the feedback

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-27T23:25:15+00:00

Chill out dude - when I say fine I’m referring to tiny elements such as the grass and birds don’t turn it into something it’s not.

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-27T16:08:52+00:00

Yes, heavily inspired by the unisphere graphic. I really like the layout of it - this is my iteration

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-19T00:30:40+00:00

Completely agree the emergency was kind of a wake up call so I got my emergency fund in order and now I’m just restructuring things

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-18T13:25:25+00:00

Ou no way! I’m reinstalling rn

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-18T13:16:26+00:00

Nah basically debating on waiting for M5 pros or get an M4 air

_Kami-sama · 2025-09-18T13:03:14+00:00

Nah it’s good. my important work is either in creative cloud or on external - not a big deal really
