This documentary will examine the streetwear resale market. It will feature interviews with anonymous resellers, cameos from customers discussing their purchases, footage of what people wear to brand drops which have become mini fashion shows, and interviews with influencers about the current state and future of streetwear culture. The resale market has grown due to limited releases from brands like Supreme, Palace, and Yeezy that create hype. While reselling allows some customers to afford items and creates jobs, it also makes products inaccessible to many and negatively impacts brands and culture.

3. RESELLING
THE RESELLING MARKET HAS GROWN OVER THE YEARS IN STREETWEAR DUE TO THE RARE IMAGE
CREATED BY SUPREME, PALACE AND YEEZY. THESE BRANDS RELEASE CLOTHING ON RARE
OCCASIONS WHICH HAS GROWN THE 'HYPE' IN THE WORLD FOR THE PRODUCTS MADE BY
THESE STREETWEAR BRANDS. FOR EXAMPLE SUPREME RELEASE CLOTHES TWICE A YEAR OVER 14
WEEKS WITH THE SUMMER-SPRING RANGE SOLD TOGETHER AND AUTUMN-WINTER RANGE
TOGETHER ON THE OTHER END OF THE YEAR, THERE AFTER THE STORES ARE CLOSED AND
THE ONLINE STORE DOESN’T FUNCTION.
THIS BRAND MERCHANDISE CAN BE 'FLIPPED' UP TO 150% HIGHER THAN THE INITIAL PRICE

4. RESELLING
NEGATIVES
• THE RESALE MARKET IS POTENTIALLY WORTH MORE THAN THE ACTUAL BRANDS AS
RESELLERS MOSTLY MAKE PROFIT DUE THEM HAVING LIMITED COSTS SUCH AS SHIPPING
• THE INDUSTRY HAS AN NEGATIVE AS IT MAKES IT HARD FOR SOME INDIVIDUALS TO OWN THE
BRANDED CLOTHING AS THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE LINE-UP OR THE STOCK SELLS
OUT WHICH THEY WILL THEN LOOK TOWARDS RESALE WHERE THE PRICES ARE UNAFFORDABLE
FOR SOME.
• THEREFORE THE BRANDS DON’T GROW AS THE SAME LARGE CIRCLE OF PEOPLE CONSUME THE
PRODUCTS

5. RESELLING
POSITIVES
• IT CAN BE A WAY TO HELP PEOPLE AFFORD TO BUY SOME OF THE MORE EXPENSIVE ITEMS IN
THE FUTURE
• IT CREATES JOBS FOR PEOPLE FROM YOUNG AS 15 TO 35 (AT LEAST)
THE LOGICAL THING TO SAY IS THAT RESELLING HAS A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE BRANDS AND THE
STREETWEAR CULTURE AS THE NEGATIVES DIRECTLY AFFECT THE CULTURE AND THE BRANDS AS
WELL FOR SIMILAR REASONS

6. BRAND INFLUENCE
BRANDS SUCH AS SUPREME, PALACE AND YEEZY HAVE A GREAT INFLUENCE ON THE YOUNGER
GENERATIONS WITH THE HELP FROM SOCIAL MEDIA AND CELEBRITIES. CELEBRITIES IN THIS
CURRENT TIME HAVE BECOME PUBLIC ICONS DUE TO THE GROWTH OF SOCIAL MEDIA, AS WELL
AS FASHION BLOGGERS. THESE 'PUBLIC FIGURES' USE PLATFORMS SUCH AS INSTAGRAM,
TUMBLR AND TWITTER TO SHOWCASE THEIR DIFFERENT OUTFITS GAINING THEM A FOLLOW DUE
TO THEM HAVING THE APPAREL FIRST OR HAVING THE BEST 'FIT'.
THESE BRANDS HAVE ALSO BECOME INFLUENTIAL AS THEY ARE NOT ONLY BIG THEMSELVES BUT
ARE COLLABORATORSWITH THE BIGGEST BRANDS IN THE WORLD SUCH AS NIKE AND ADIDAS.

7. BRAND INFLUENCE
WHY ARE THESE BRANDS INFLUENTIAL?
• THEY ARE POPULAR WITH MODERN CELEBRITIES THEREFORE GAINING CUSTOMERS FROM THE
CELEBRITIES' FAN'S
• THESE BRANDS ARE AT THE EPIPHANY OF "STREETWEAR CAN ALSO BE HIGH-END" - WE SEE THIS
THROUGH SUPREME'S RECENT COLLABORATIONS WITH LOUIS VUITTON
• SINCE THESE BRANDS HAVE SUCH A 'COOL' IMAGE, PEOPLE WANT TO GET INVOLVED – THIS
WILL GIVE PEOPLE THE 'STYLISH' TITLE AND GAIN THEM A FOLLOWING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
