My Favourite Fashion Brand: fear of god
Reasons: genderless style in its actual products, including clothing, accessories, and bags. As a brand favors minimalism, it insists on applying simple and low-key colors like the earthy tone and simplified silhouette to its products. Its T- shirts usually use 280 g pure cotton to highlight the comfort, convenience, simplicity, and easiness to match. As its market share grows, the need to expand becomes clear.
Streetwear with various styles can be found in the market as people from all walks of life are directing more attention to it and are willing to purchase it. Among them, the streetwear brand Fear of God (FOG) and its diffusion line brand Essentials are standing out, especially when they went viral in the China market in 2018 and stars shared their street snaps and daily photos wearing clothes of these brands. Essentials became a hit in China and other streetwear brands began to pour into the China market, but due to the imbalance caused by the brand’s single sales channel and the enormous demand in China, Essentials was always in short supply.
As a diffusion line, Essentials inherited the classic elements and ideas of FOG and its pricing was more consumer-friendly. According to Jerry Lorenzo, consumers were purchasing the counterfeits of other streetwear brands when buying H&M and Zara (Hess, 2021). Different from the intense crafts and complex silhouette of FOG, Essentials highlight more on the “pure street” spirit and its design is simpler, more durable, and caters more to the young. Depending solely on online sales and with no physical store remain the feature of Essentials, and the brand is adept in making use of online marketing advantage to make it an immediate hit in the fashion market
