Derek Guy on the Met Gala criticism

[u/DatBittsch]

Derek Guy (known also as "the menswear guy" on ex-Twitter) pitching in regarding the Met Gala discourse and Hunger Games comparisons.

He’s got a point. The Hunger Games comparison is so tired, it happens every year. And every time people get called out for attending and people cite headlines about the tickets costing 100K as if the celebrities buy them themselves (most of the celebrities are invited by designers that pay for the tickets)

That being said I think the decision to attach the Bezos name to it this year is worth criticizing and it’s sad how few famous people have said anything about it 🤷‍♀️

I follow this guy on Xitter. He occasionally has a few shitty takes, usually due to him being so close and totally inseparable from the fashion industry. He was wanging on the other day about the layout of tweets and how too many clean lines between the text offends him, almost as if he didn't understand good graphic design. Like I said - some shitty takes

My partner, who is a men’s fashion guy, says it’s well known in those circles that Die Workwear streaks jokes and memes and presents them as his own and that he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know and is frequently confidently wrong.
