You are taking my post out of context. When I said dress like them I meant that he dressed like his new white friends. That does not have to insinuate certain designers and/or brands. It is just the way in which he dressed.
Example, Say that my wardrobe consisted of mostly khakis and jeans. I start to hang out with some people that wear mostly shorts and slacks so I start to wear the same things just to fit in.(I know its a corny example; but its the best I could come up with off the cuff)
I hope that helps to explain what I meant by that comment.
