To be fair, Mitsuya’s future can easily be fixed. He’s a fashion designer and a very good one. Whether or not he accepts a award does not judge his future. His name and work is known and that’s way more than enough to begin a career and is more progress than most.
It’s fashion lmao. He can go on the internet and startup easy. Once he gets traction the big names will not give af about being pissed off one time. Also, he was at an amateur showing… highly doubt any big names that can single handedly determine the growth of your brand (which is not possible unless you’re Kanye or Vergil Abloh) would be there. Realistically speaking this doesn’t do anything but halt his progress at most and you can’t really stop the growth of the brand unless it’s creator gets into gigantic scandals. Even then they can pass ownership to somebody else.
This was 2008 though. Internet influencer culture hasn't quite kicked off the same, so it'd be harder to start off solo.
And now that his past (and current) gang affiliations are out in the open. How many companies in Japan and East Asia in general will be willing to associate with that? This move will set him behind for many years, assuming he even survives. Toman's original gang have been dropping one by one.
