I’m an Industrial Design student from South Africa with a passion for fashion too, some of these brands don’t really have a presence here but your channel always teaches me something. Keep up the good work bro

Starting his brand at 38, ahiii I’m 21 currently and had aspirations of all types of shit at 16 that I haven’t done yet. Not trying to say I lost them of course. Whether it’s him, or some people in my life doing it at whatever age, thank you :) you can still do it!

[davidevescovini]

That's wild. You're making fashion culture accessible and enjoyable to literally anyone, keep it going

[AbbrelleLettley]

His story is definitely inspiring, especially at the age he was to start a fashion brand. Takes focus and consistency. He definitely gave people hope to go after whatever you desire no matter the age!

It’s mind blowing that he was in drunken tiger and helped found korean hip hop, last thing that I would have thought about him

[nexusboyko]

This is why I watch Threaducation, it's a kind of inspiration to me that I rarely find elsewhere.

I hope you decide to do Telfar for an episode especially because compared to a lot of the other brands you’ve covered, they don’t rely on exclusivity so I would love to see how they came up

The first time I heard about Mike Amiri is in2012. During that time, Clothing with "Short gun" distressing detail and leather patched MX1 denim gave me a shocking and impressive moment.
