I wonder if an event like this, or many others that are by private invite only, are actually saying that 'we aren't cool enough to be there' or that's the way we interpret it through our insecurity? And if that's the case, how does a brand create an event that tries to be sensitive to everyone's inner judge and childhood trauma of being left out, etc. I would venture to say part of the whole appeal of a brand like Satisfy is the 'you're not cool enough' to wear/to know/to get it, which is what makes us spend $300s to not just be 'in' but also not be like those who don't get it. So when our own purchasing behavior says, "I am cool enough," yet we're not invited, the same insecurity that inspires the purchase also inspires the other end of the same wound, "I'm not cool enough" to be invited. My feeling is that we have to ask ourselves, 'What do I actually feel is cool?' Otherwise, we will always be trapped by how we interpret someone or a brand is speaking to us, even though they don't even know who we are!
more nuanced opinions like this!! can't wait to see what other topics stir ya
