The Archive w/ Pleasures Co-Founder Alex James

In this episode of The Archive, we sit down with Alex James, co-founder of PLEASURES, for a candid conversation on the early days of brand building, underground influence, and the realities of turning subculture into a global label. Joined by Sean Wotherspoon and Nick Adler, the episode dives into the foundation of PLEASURES — from selling vintage and printing tees in the early stages to navigating wholesale growth, collaborations, and maintaining edge in an industry that moves fast. The conversation explores how community, controversy, and conviction all play a role in building something that lasts. Be sure to check out our new app 'WORN' currently in beta that lets you scan clothing and uncover the story behind what you’re looking at. Built for collectors and the vintage community--link is pinned in the comments. Shop the full M*Star Studios vintage archive now at mstarstudios.com
