When Heron Preston announced earlier this month that he had reacquired full ownership of his namesake brand from New Guards Group (NGG), it underscored a broader shift in the fashion industry’s relationship with hype. His decision to walk away from a platform built to industrialise streetwear cool marks a growing disillusionment with the mechanisms that once powered fashion’s fastest-growing category.Preston isn’t alone.
