Tbh I also cringe a bit every time the lack of side gussets is considered as lower quality haha But otherwise, it’s always curious to compare the same style between different brands
Kazuma Shigematsu as a stylist > A. Presse as a brand has been my take for a while and glad to see others feeing the same! Even after it’s no longer the flavor of the month brand the styling will undoubtedly still hold up. Also, gotta love nearly all looks being styled with Chuck Taylors! That to me is the best testament to the ethos of complimenting on an already perfected design
Love the chucks styling touch too! Kinda easy, but fits so well to the visual story (I create in my head)
It also adds up that the brand so far IS the styling. There isn’t much of exposure besides A.Presse’s Instagram and all the media coverage in the last year. There is no “about the brand” page or “philosophy” or official story that the brands communicates. There is just impeccable imagery, but all the interpretation is left to the audience
The fact that Fabricteurialist does not like A.Presse is a badge of honor for the brand : This dude does not understand anything about clothes.
It’s a shirt, not a fucking gaming PC.

I wrote about this here (in French) : https://cachcash.substack.com/p/deux-hirondelles-ne-font-pas-le-printemps (in French a side gusset is called a renforcing swallow)
It’s also a pet peeve of mine. Side gussets are useless.
