Because sometimes 143 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: that can be so disheartening knowing that you have this 144 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: vision of what you want to do and knowing that 145 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: you have the talent for it, and then you know, 146 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: sometimes people can't see, like one day I'm a blow 147 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: up and none of this is going to matter. Because 148 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: when it's happening, it does matter. And so talk to 149 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: me about that difficulty, because that's hard for people. 150 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 3: When it's happening, it does matter. And I will say 151 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: that like my friends, my family, my community around me 152 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: like supported this vision. It's like, you know, and in 153 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 3: some ways, like not having all the resources really shows 154 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: you who fucks with you, you know, and who really 155 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: believes in this thing and who is there for real, 156 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 3: you know, And that's like a really special time because 157 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 3: it's like it kind of builds this like invincibility that 158 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: you have around you. Because when you have good people 159 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 3: around you and like your friends that really tell you 160 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: what's up and are there for no o cooin at all, 161 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, it changes the dynamic of things. 162 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: It changes the dynamic of things, and like I'm thankful 163 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: for that, you know what I mean. It's like because 164 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 3: this didn't happen overnight. Yeah, I started doing this when 165 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: I was fifteen. I don't think I actually like really 166 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: wrote my own self a check that I could cash 167 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: myself until I was probably thirty, you know what. 168 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: I mean, fifteen years before that happened. 169 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why because listen, people don't see that part 170 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: of it. And I even know today people want to 171 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: start businesses, they want to do things, they want to invest, 172 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: but they think it's going to be a quick return. 173 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 3: They think it's going to be a quick return. I 174 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 3: think that that's how fashion is. Fashion is fast and fickle, 175 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: you know, so like when you are you know again, 176 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: I'm an independent designer.

It's been kind of 273 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: tough for luxury brands too, you know. So but I 274 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: know this is something that's been in the works, and 275 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: your approach has been so unique in comparison to what 276 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: other people have done. So let's talk about this next headline, 277 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: and this is about the radical new pricing system is 278 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: the ultimate anti luxury move. And we discussed that when 279 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: you were here, you know, last time. TOUGHI is making 280 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: his new collection more accessible than ever thanks to a 281 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: dynamic pricing experiment. What was that experiment like for you? 282 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: How do you think that the results were from it. 283 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 3: Think we're talking about live price, yeah, where we posted 284 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 3: the collection online and we found out how much people 285 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 3: wanted to pay for it. So it was like basically 286 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 3: a crowdsourced information process of like, you know, finding out 287 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 3: how much people can pay for some because I'm like, 288 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 3: I'm very confused. It's like I'm not like a shopper, 289 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: you know. It's like I have I have closed, but 290 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 3: people send me a lot of things, you know what 291 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 3: I mean. And it's like I go to stores and 292 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: I really don't buy anything, you know what I mean. 293 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: I try everything. I have a lot of stuff, and 294 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 3: it's like I'm learning to minimize, but I also too, 295 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: I love stuff, you know, so you know i'll hit 296 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: someone up. But I'm like, I'm really confused about the 297 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 3: price of things and the price of what the price 298 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 3: of living is in New York America, you know, just 299 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 3: like what someone makes in a you know, like all 300 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: those different things. So it's like you ask the people. 301 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: You also know how much it costs to make things too. 302 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: I know how much it costs to make That. 303 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: Comes from a different space when you see things and 304 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: you're shopping and you're like I know this copy cast. 305 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like I'll go to the store and I'm like, damn, 306 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 3: that's like that used to be what my rent was, 307 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: you know, at this one time, and this is like 308 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: a T shirt And I guess it makes sense because 309 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 3: it's this, you know what I mean. But you know, 310 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 3: like all that aside, I'm like asking the people, like 311 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 3: what do you want to pay for this? And as 312 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 3: they were as they were like, you know, like kind 313 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: of I think the process was that they would they 314 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: would bid on it and it would go up every 315 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: single minute, so they had to I guess you were 316 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: able to buy it as like, you know, like is 317 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 3: that how it worked?

And then the other one, you know, that 551 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 3: is made out of you know, a small satch of 552 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 3: like animal hides. We make them in limited qualities, and 553 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 3: it's kind of like this like step into because that's 554 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 3: like the criticism.
