And the video, scored Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.highsnobiety.com\/\">Highsnobiety<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/theselvedgeyard.com\/\">The Slevedge Yard<\/a> this week, brings out how car culture has in fact informed the designer&#8217;s passions and crystallised in Japanese spun Selvedge denim.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bit of a stretch, sometimes, to draw parallels between cultural forms as vastly opposed to all things greasy and automotive and the perceived, fey, fickle and transient world of the catwalk.<\/p>\n<p>So often &#8216;Fashion&#8217; as a business exploits subcultures, little scenes of passionate friends engaged in whatever pursuit floats their boat &#8211; in order simply to sell the look and feel of the obsession to the rank and file of the mainstream.<\/p>\n<p>PRPS seems to be a little bit different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feel the connection between expensive jeans and muscle cars? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1779,1781,110],"tags":[439],"class_list":["post-25027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cars","category-culture","category-blog","tag-fashion"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PRPS &amp;
