Foooound: How Fashion and Music Are Shaping Subcultures

Welcome to Has it Leaked’s latest journey into the world where music and fashion collide. You already know we’re all about finding the freshest leaks, but this time we’re leaking something different—something stylish. Introducing Foooound, our soon-to-be site dedicated to the intersection of music and street fashion, especially when it comes to brands that are rooted deep in subculture movements. But first, let’s dive into the reason we’re going all-in on this new project and why fashion has been as integral to music as the bass drop itself.

1. Fashion and Music: A Natural Symbiosis

Let’s start with the basics: music and fashion have always been a package deal. From Marilyn Manson’s gothic extravaganza to A$AP Rocky’s designer-laden rap persona, music scenes consistently push the boundaries of what’s considered cool or even wearable. Think about it—would punk have the same bite without the safety pins and spiked hair? Would pop’s futuristic edge feel the same without Charli XCX’s hyper-modern wardrobe? Fashion isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a part of the show.

Foooound

For us at Has it Leaked, where we chase the freshest, undiscovered tracks, we noticed something. Music fans aren’t just picky about their playlists—they’re just as meticulous about their closets. Enter the rise of streetwear brands that embody the same rebellious, genre-blurring spirit that music fans crave. Which is why we’re launching Foooound, to give these threads the spotlight they deserve.

2. Cav Empt: Where Dystopia Meets Dance

If you’re into Cav Empt (aka C.E), you already know this Tokyo-based brand is a cult favorite among techwear aficionados and underground music fans alike. Their aesthetic screams cyberpunk dystopia, with pixelated graphics and glitchy visuals that feel like an ’80s arcade game mixed with post-apocalyptic chaos. Cav Empt’s designs echo the paranoia and hyper-connectivity of today’s internet culture, which naturally syncs with genres like vaporwave, experimental electronic, and glitch-hop.

Musicians like A$AP Rocky, who are known for blending high fashion with street culture, have been spotted in Cav Empt gear, elevating its underground cred. Cav Empt isn’t just for those on the cutting edge of fashion—it’s for the avant-garde musicians who live on the fringe, blending sounds and styles that challenge the norm.

3. Enfants Riches Déprimés: Luxury with an Existential Crisis

Imagine this: you’re backstage at a post-punk show in Paris, and you spot someone wearing an outrageously expensive, tattered sweater that looks like it’s been through a ringer of self-doubt. That’s probably Enfants Riches Déprimés. Founded by artist and provocateur Henri Alexander Levy, the brand’s name literally translates to “Depressed Rich Kids.” That pretty much sums it up.

Musicians like Marilyn Manson, known for their defiant, dark aesthetics, are drawn to the brand’s nihilistic, distressed approach to fashion. Enfants Riches Déprimés is a visual companion to the rebellious, sometimes jarring, sound of experimental noise rock and industrial metal. Its appeal lies in its juxtaposition of luxury and decay, something both high fashion aficionados and countercultural musicians can’t resist.

4. Broken Plants: Eco-Friendly, Aesthetically Hostile

Broken Plants is the relatively new kid on the block, but it’s already shaking things up. Sustainability might be the buzzword, but Broken Plants takes it in a different direction. Their eco-conscious designs feel anything but peaceful. Expect jagged silhouettes, distressed fabrics, and a color palette that looks like it was salvaged from an abandoned industrial complex. And it’s all done with the environment in mind.

Artists like Billie Eilish, known for challenging norms in both her music and personal style, would likely gravitate toward Broken Plants for its unique fusion of sustainability and anarchic aesthetics. The brand’s rugged, unpolished look pairs perfectly with the raw, emotional sounds of alternative pop and grunge revival. If Billie’s “everything I wanted” had a wardrobe, it would be from Broken Plants.

5. Aimé Leon Dore: NYC Street Dreaming

Then there’s Aimé Leon Dore (ALD), representing the dreamlike essence of New York street culture. ALD blends retro sportswear vibes with a modern, elevated street aesthetic. This is for the folks who grew up on classic hip-hop but want a bit of sophistication to their daily fit. Think 90s Nas mixed with modern-day Kendrick Lamar.

Kanye West, the genre-bending artist and fashion icon, embodies Aimé Leon Dore’s ethos: a perfect blend of nostalgia, luxury, and street smarts. In terms of music, ALD reflects the golden age of boom-bap and jazzy hip-hop, while also embracing modern streetwear sensibilities. It’s not uncommon to catch Kanye, or indie rappers like Joey Bada$$, sporting Aimé Leon Dore to complete their effortlessly cool look.

6. Our Legacy: Minimalism, Swedish Vibes, and Timeless Cool

Let’s take a detour from the hectic streets of NYC to the cool, refined aesthetics of Stockholm. Our Legacy is the Scandinavian brand that speaks to those who appreciate timelessness in their music and their wardrobes. Their minimalistic, clean designs are perfect for musicians who don’t need to shout for attention but instead let their art do the talking.

Artists like Charli XCX, known for her futuristic yet understated pop sound, would be right at home in Our Legacy. It’s the kind of fashion that whispers rather than screams, just like Charli’s innovative pop tracks that leave a lasting impression without overwhelming the senses. Our Legacy is for those who are looking for subtlety in both fashion and sound.

7. Why We’re Launching Foooound

So why are we getting into fashion? Why launch Foooound? The answer’s simple: music and fashion are two sides of the same coin. They both capture cultural movements, push boundaries, and offer a way for individuals to express who they are. After covering the latest music leaks and industry gossip for years, we realized something—our community doesn’t just care about what they’re hearing, they care about what they’re wearing while they’re hearing it.

Foooound will be the space where we dig deep into these underground, subculture-driven brands that speak to the music fans we know and love. From exclusive collections to interviews with designers, we’re aiming to bring the same insider knowledge to fashion that we’ve always brought to music. In true Has it Leaked fashion (pun intended), we’ll uncover what’s next before anyone else does.

8. Final Thoughts: Style is More Than What You Wear

At the end of the day, style is more than the clothes on your back or the shoes on your feet. It’s about identity, culture, and music. It’s the same reason your favorite band means more to you than just their sound—it’s about the feelings, memories, and statements they evoke. With Foooound, we want to tap into that deeper connection, blending music and fashion into something uniquely personal.

So get ready to look as good as your playlists sound. Because at the crossroads of fashion and music, there’s always something fresh waiting to be Foooound.
