Representative of a message and embodied keepsake for his wife, 2017 witnessed the arrival of follow-on streetwear label Girls Don’t Cry. Accurately reflecting some of Verdy’s frustrations from youth via its nothing-is-wasted design style and aptly titled namesake, Wasted Youth finds itself well-placed in the contemporary market alongside mainstream Japanese brands such as Evisen Skateboards and Jun Takahasi’s similarly punk-inspired UNDERCOVER. With an admiration for brands such as BAPE, Supreme and Julien Stranger’s Antihero, Verdy’s Wasted Youth label came into fruition in 2016 with a grass-roots desire to provide like-minded streetwear and skatewear fans with accessible clothing that didn’t burst budgets.
