I have liked the brand “Places+Faces” or “Placesplusfaces” for a while now as they are a streetwear brand that currently gets involved with music and events. The brands promotional material such as posters and social media platforms have an interesting visual design.
I think the brand is quite unique especially in the streetwear industry, the website have a system that the consumers have to wait for a drop rather than the website being available all the time, making it more intense and rare to buy their clothing. Their stock ranges from windbreakers to socks to bags to hoodies, with their simple yet effective logo on all of their items. The brand has a sense of rebellion surrounding it, having images associated with teenage drinking, drugs and sex. Their Instagram feed is full of influential celebrities that are involved in this industry such as rapper and designer Jaden Smith, rapper Playboi Carti and one of Kylie Jenner’s best friend’s Jordyn. By using these types of celebrities its attracting their target audience which is obviously people who have a passion in the rap industry as well as fashion.
Their website holds an array of visuals and designs, such as a film for their brand and also a magazine and a selection of shops across the world. Their website is quite interactive and also different, visually. They also have a whole section of polaroids that the brand has taken of designers such as Off-White designer Virgil Abloh wearing their garments.
