[DISCUSSION] Streetwear YouTuber Advertising Fake Clothing


Taliaxbro is an upcoming fashion/streetwear YouTuber, though her channel is relatively small for the platform (currently at 71,000 Subscribers) - I see her channel likely becoming much bigger in the future. I myself am a pretty big fan of Talia and her videos, but her recent video really rubs me the wrong way.The video, titled ''Fall Faves 🍁🍂- PERFECTKICKZ PROMOTION'' promotes Talia's recent cops: a Givenchy Distressed Hoodie, and a pair of Yeezy 500s, both sent to her from perfectkickz.ru, with the rest of the video being run of the mill sponsored ''please use this store!'' content. I decided to check out the website, and red-flags start appearing VERY quickly. You are greeted with a (slightly broken home page advertising their website, ''Articles of Luxury'' (leading to a second site: ''DopestKickZ'' and their Instagram (a private account)..Realistically, it's very much obvious that the site is fake, the general appearance is very much...off. Basically made up of your run of the mill fake site, with logos and dodgy graphics plastered everywhere, advertising Balenciaga Runners for less than $200.I'm very much disappointed in Talia for taking this sponsorship, as anyone can tell from spending 30 Seconds checking out the brand that this is dodgy shit. It goes without saying to not use the site, as there is almost no chance of you getting your hands on anything.(tl;dr: fashion/streetwear YouTuber advertises extremely obvious fake website in sponsorship deal for her channel) via /r/streetwear https://ift.tt/2SUfcj1
