no self-respecting designer would have anything to do with flesh imp. these sugar-coated foreign words are nothing because we all know the truth – for most of us fairly versed in street culture - flesh imp has become synonymous with rip-offs. they&#039;re icky and tasteless as china-made louis vuitton knock-offs. if you’re really into street, wearing a flesh imp thread is blasphemous and vile – your friends will ostracise you, your mother will disown you, your boss will fire you followed by hair loss and impotency.

most of flesh imp’s clientele comprise of art school wannabes, street wannabes and naïve, garish young kids totally clueless on design. look ma! vectored vectors! look ma! stock vectors! look ma! photoshop filters! look ma! downloaded brushes! look ma! download fonts! look ma! hey wait haven’t i seen this before?

dear vincent please go back to school, learn some integrity and the love of paul rand STOP VECTORING VECTORS. STOP RIPPING OFF THREADLESS and *insert 16925902 other victims*

“…difficulties of balancing creative vitality with commercial viability.” 

“…samples graphics, styles and design, and then redefines them into a distinct style that resonates with the local heads, yet able to connect with the global players.”

as we singaporeans put it, “talk c*ck sing song” (that’s bullsh*t for you) if you were REAL designers, you would at the very least conceive a menial idea from scratch than settle for another mediocre rip-off of another person’s hard work. christ, where’s your conscience? do you feel some morbid sense of accomplishment from profiteering another person’s ideas and vision?

commercial success means nothing if you don’t command any respect from your fellow peers.

inspiration and plagiarism are two totally different words.

flesh imp, you make my skin crawl.

if we gave you a blank piece of paper and pen with no references and computer aid, would you still be able to design?

		<description>I think they would be given a whole lotta more credibility if they didnt rip off labels from overseas e.g. the BKC

Its a shame that so many companies (esp fashion) think they can get away with ripping each others style of with the use of the internet nowadays.

Flesh imp is just another wannabe hipster fascade brand in the making that hopes to create &#039;style&#039; and &#039;street cred&#039; by coping of others overseas.

Lucky for you, some people do research.

Just take a look at the links I&#039;ve provided.
