last week HYPEBEAST released an interesting post regarding : “Tough Times: A Look Into the Current State of Streetwear”.

And I’ve read one of the most interesting and smart analysis about our market from HIKMET x SOLEBOX.

“Dear Companies:

Please rethink your philosophy of doing limited editions and specials. On the market are more limited editions then inline stuff. The inline products are more limited nowadays then the limited products. Your inline products are good enough to serve the market. Please rethink your distributions sometimes. Does it make sense to have your highest and limited products in the same city at 10 retailers in one area? No need to deliver every shop with the same. Try to work closer with your existing customers. Give them the feeling of loyalty. Your own shops are good too. But own shops can not build trends and demands like ours. And it gives the feeling of doing direct business without the existing shops. Together we can reach more.

Dear Shops:

If you just opened or just want to open. Please do not buy in stuff you can not sell. At the end you will do massive sales. This is not good for the whole market. You educate your customers to buy only at your sale days. Please rethink if you like to open something what the world do not needs now. Be creative and find other ways then others are doing. Check the local needs and build your business on this. I am sure you will love to be different and companies will thank you.”

No comments. Simply True and brilliant.

Today I discover the first trailer of NEW Johnnie TO movie, featuring of the biggest french popstar icon Johnny HALLIDAY. He will be perfect (maybe a little too old) for this hk thriller. Can’t stand to see what master director Johnnie TO will do with him.

The movie is called VENGEANCE. The film tells the story of a father, a former professional killer converted into a cooker, who arrived in Hong Kong to avenge the murder of his daughter, and was helped by former friends. A story about a french man’s family murdered and of course about his revenge on the murdered. Dark. Violent. Yummy!

I wanted to blog it, but finally the film looks so good that I’ve also decided to track more pictures and more news about it. Check it on BKRW, if you want some more!

Here comes the trailer.

Bonus Track : Flash Point – Donnie YEN vs Collin CHOU fight !!!

(Flash Point was one of the best fight HK movie of last year, hitting USA and EUROPE this month…This sequence is amazing because it shows how new HK action movies are really sourcing into new way of modern fighting such as street fight. And why they are so edgy face to US ones)
