The Rapid Rise and Fall of Gallery Department 

Like Virgil said fashion is the greatest scam people paid hundred for Levi’s jeans with two stains on it ngl it’s sounds crazy to me

rappers and social media influencers burn out everything, the world is getting smaller and subcultures are less distinct

I see the rise but not the fall. 2023 the brand is still strong...

i taught myself how to sew so i could steal gallery's pattern and make a pair of flared 501s for myself. fuck their price tag, but i think thats why they were successful in their "recycle" ethos too, jesse's tailoring basically started up a trend again. Rappers that could afford it burnt it the fuck out really quickly but those that couldnt were inspired to make their own. and people that were suprised gallery uses levis and painted over the tags completely missed the point lmao

Well, Virgil started Pyrex with discontinued Polo flannels so there’s that. You never know what your domino will be so this isn’t a failure, it’s just a stepping stone and good on them commanding such an outrageous price point. Art is art at the end of the day.

I actually did recite this video word for word bar for bar on a date but for some reason my date disappeared and Non other than Rick Owens himself appeared wearing flared dept gallery sweats. Pretty insane.

The price of Gallery Dept is crazy knowing it’s really Levis

I’m sorry but how could anyone not see a brand that is literally based on one trendy piece not falling quickly from grace

The problem with a brand like this is that they'd never be able to scale to anything beyond a very niche market. When you're relying on sourcing a certain era of a certain style of a certain brand of jeans then manually reworking each pair, it's literally impossible to scale to do volume and get your price point down. This is all fine when your brand is hot and consistent with what high fashion is wearing, but completely falls apart when trends change and you can't command the same price tag. Flared denim with males NEVER sticks around long term through the course of history.

Gallery isn’t going anywhere there’s a million brands in the world If you don’t like it don’t buy it and keep it pushing 🤷🏾‍♂️💯

Honestly, I feel as Josue keeping creative integrity within himself, he saw where the brand was going and end up leaving to pursue his house label to keep true to his creative mind

just wanted to congratulate you on getting my nephew ian conner to delete his tweets

I mean it is crazy that all it was was just vintage repurposed items but at the same time the concept was fire. At least to me, I think it’s just kinda cringe to hate on new clothing brands actually putting their ideas out and becoming successful. Gucci and Louis Vuitton have been around for so long it’s time for the new. Not their fault it blew up at the end of the day. Maybe put in this energy to creating your own brand too

I like his idea. Gallery dept probably doesn’t scale to the average consumer and most consumers in that price range are probably buying other brands with increased versatility.

You know the FH man back with some consistency I appreciate that. Always good videos

Good research, but they never fell off. The Miami store is making insane money.

yo fh Im a junior in highschool and I just started a fashion club your videos are gonna one of my main ways of educating club members and getting more people into fashion ty for making such great content :)

These fashion labels are testing their customer's stupidity, I saw a balenciaga workman's Jacket that you see security guards wearing for over a grand.

People hating on gallery but that’s all I’ve been seeing people wear and other brands copying. Big W for Josue and he bowed out gracefully

Dude saw the paint splattered Margielas and started a business.

I got hella gallery dept. don’t care where they got the jeans from. I knew all these pieces were like art paintings. Now everything that I have is sold out everywhere and the prices are through the roof.

Can't wait for your next videos already

honestly never really knew about this brand. I’ve heard of it before, but after this explanation, I really respect what Josué set out to do with Gallery Dept. defo a guy to add to my fashion radar. I’ve been looking to get into making my own shit as well and this video inspires me to pursue that. gonna buy myself a sewing machine when I have the money.

Mr. Hopsin on fireeeee with the uploads

This is worth staying in for my break for an extra 10 minutes

Great video as always

You are now own me financial compensation for making me watch entire video about the Migos. My lawyer will be in contact with you soon.

What I love is that everyone nowadays can have a spot anywhere. Even people with no talent, no taste who make splatters on old clothes and call it art. What a time to be alive.

They had Levi jeans cut up for 1100 I almost got em till I seen the Levi signed them I realize they take other clothes and custom em

I love u FH , thank you for existing and making bomb contents

Gallery dept is a 🔥brand

2 new FH TV videos in one month??? what a time to be alive ong

The biggest problem with designer clothes is when they make gilidan prints that are easily replicated... lol

The problem with most fashion for at least 10-15 years is NO artistic intent, only money

c’est un vidéo excellent 🐐 🔥

Kinda crazy saying the Migo collab was the peak and not the lanvin

Ah yes, just what I needed. My fine dosage of internet fashion talks from FH TV.

I LOVE HOPSIN SO MUCH

Is flared demin a fancy name for boot cut?

is that beneath the mask in the background? I love it.

Wow yo. Thanks for this vid. Jus when i got hip to it, u state its out of business. Very informal video tho

I’ve made big purchases like LV gear chrome hearts 600$+ but the need to pay 600 for 2 words and paint splatter is crazy. At least my chrome got designs and LV made by Virgil

love you rager

I like how I get a Levi's ad right when the vid finishes loll

That’s crazy this vid comes up right after my gallery dept hoodie came in today lmao

500$ for a used t shirt is insane😂

Whats good hopsin fans

good to hear ur voice papi

HOT TAKE :The problem is that the same people that make it popular also kill it, let’s be honest when a brand makes it to the hood, People who don’t know themselves and want to feel like someone end up buying clothes like this and they overdue it/ make it look dirty. For people in the hood, we have seen people wear the same designer shirt a bunch of times and not carry themselves to the same standard of the clothes and it makes the clothes look dirty (Look at the guy who got killed trying to hurt the corner store owner in NYC with a fake Amiri Shirt. Plus those people don’t know how to put pieces together, They just buy it for the name to impress others & kids this year bought out all The Gallery department pieces so it got saturated like how my people killed Purple denim, Alexander McQueen, Vlone, Amiri and etc. This has to do with a lot of fashion brands only going for cash grabs and low hanging fruit that someone who just wants to feel like money when they have none goes to get their stuff. Raising the prices won’t help either, The pieces need to be limited and for the culture

Good content I never knew this

i buy reps because of this

The Rise, Inseam, and Fall of Gallery Department

love to see more FHTV. god bless

hahah the mnml flares blow up like crazy, may cop; may not the price tag stands out

so when did gallery dept fall off

I’m not going to lie when I first seen gallery Department I never really was a fan because I had already known that it was reworked Levi’s but honestly never took time to really see the brand and understand the creative process of what they were trying to achieve but at the end of this I have a lot more respect for them But this is yet another example of why I don’t follow the trends wear what you like and if you’re gonna wear it for multiple seasons then buy it if not fuck it

Gallery Dept. hard

Already know this is a hit

whats the song in the background near the end of the vid?

We lived up to see weekly hospin

Sameeee with chrome hearts jeans…..

Babe wake up new FHTV video

2024 and its still big as ever..

Forget the Levi jeans talk but how you gonna replicate there sweatpants??

These guys just built a brand around one element of early Helmut Lang.

Fall!? This brand is still being worn by tons of celebrities

STARS 4 EVER✨🤸🌍💖💛💚

WidePeepoHappy

And Levi’s feel like sandpaper 😂😂😂😂

What’s your opinion on Imran Potato and what he’s doing?

so much sarcasm 😂

Heavy

Roc Marci& pirate- gallery

Gallery Dept is modern day Miskeen.

they thought they was asspizza lol pizza gone take their tag completely off and see his own on though. yo paint over something and charge that much is crazy lol

Good video but I don’t know if you have seen they make so many more pieces nowadays than the pants you should look into more they are far from just pants

I knew it was something going on especially with the inflated prices and them shutting orders down

gongi bongi

Been said this gallery dept look like h&m with an expensive price tag lmao

If the clothes is made by josue then it’s fuego - Roc Marciano

pog

You must not have came to ATL that’s all these people rock down here 😂🔥

What fall they prices are still high

I tell my kids stick to Levi’s and polo cause they will be around while these new brands rise and fall

I knew it was reworked Levi’s. 2nd I have only ever bought clothes I like never for a trend . so and season or not I’m wearing my clothes for years to come

they took advantage of the vintage hype/ designer hype

the Cybershell of fashion youtube

Idk how they “fell”. They’re still making money hand over fist while sticking to what made them popular to begin with. Cool video though.

sunny v2 cosplay 😭

Dis the lucki brand

It seems like they didn't go out of business. Is Josue still involved with Gallery Dept?

3:25??? 👀

Really confused how they fell off? Right now they’re more popular than ever. Even got a Miami store now. Ain’t seen gallery everywhere more than right now

Guys I’m still stuck and he keeps forcing me to like and comment

Fall ?

Rappers ruin everything. I remember when he was across the street from pan pacific park and had the vintage black tee with skeleton man in it. Damn. That’s when it was fresh.

They are still in business lol the “sold out “ was a campaign for there new sold out T shirt the brand is still poppin
