What do you guys think about (allegedly) Marxist fashion designers like Carol christian Powell?
>>8612It's the first time I hear of this but considering he once said he intentionally makes his leather clothes as painful and uncomfortable as possible it sort of makes sense.
>>8612is this a pun on CCP
>>8615>My father died this year so I’ve been thinking a lot about mortality. He was a very confrontational man, very analytical. He liked putting people into a corner intellectually — it was a form of bullying. He could be so critical of the way people live their lives and in the end he became very bitter. I never had the chance to ask him why he, after all those years of thinking, couldn’t find serenity. He wasn’t able to negotiate the ending of his life in a graceful way. He was so observant, and he believed in being a resolved human being — someone who thinks correctly — and still he never managed to make peace with the fact that he was dying. It made me think about the world and about how to find graceful ways to deal with threats. That’s what I would like to do. I’d like to end up in a garden with a wall around it, reading and playing with kittens. That’s probably the best I can hope for. I’m not going to have grandchildren. Well, I guess in a way I will because I surround myself with people, and some are having children. I love seeing babies around. So I suppose I will have the comfort of being in a garden and playing with kittens and babies. I don’t know what could possibly be better than that.This hit hard :(
You should really cross dress if you're going to burn a lot cash. Men's clothes realistically are still kinda ugly after 400ish dollars.
>>8619being overly critical while being a dipshit yourself is a very unfortunate quality
>>8620Most high end fashion (excluding traditional gendered formal wear like fancy suits and dresses) is unisex anyways.
>>8620I'm here to find extremely toxic ways to express my masculinity, stop trying to make fashion gay
>>8623Fashion is inherently gay/feminine
>>8624what do you mean? we've been wearing clothes since the beginning of time, before gay even existed.
>>8624What's gay/feminine today was literally the norm for men not many centuries ago.
>>8624sadly being gay or a woman doesnt inherently make you look good
>>8622I'd agree if my favorite designers' lines for women weren't too ridicuously small for me, and I'm a skinny lanklet!
>>8624Best most retarded comment ITT.
Keep dressing like a moron.
> Stop buying reps, it funds terrorism and human trafficking.
burger redditors are fucking hilarious
on the topic of le ethical consumption and clothing, that annoying menswear guy on twitter is always talking about "consumer power", jesus
> Part of the reason why this exploitation happens is because consumers want clothes for as little as $10 or $20.
liberalism is a brain disease
>>8630Apparently all of inditex factories in Bangladesh are on strike with strong police repression.
>>8628I have the opposite problem cause I’m a 5’11” guy with a 23” waist so pretty much all standard men’s clothing just makes me look like a rectangle, which is fine for a layered or oversized fit but looks shit elsewise. Unisex works well though
>>8629Where did I say that it’s bad that it’s inherently feminine? I still love fashion, I just recognize what it is instead of coping
>>8625In the history and present of gender theory, femininity consistently demonstrates a societal predilection towards beauty, appearance, and fashion by proxy. There have never been societies wherein obsession with fashion and appearance was categorized as ostensibly masculine, yet there have been endless societies where it’s considered obviously feminine/effeminate in theory and practice.
To clarify, fashion is not “genetically” inherently feminine/effeminate, but societally inherent. And That’s not a bad thing, but a fact as of now nonetheless, so trying to purport it’s actually super alpha male to worry about what pretty cloth your wearing is dumb and likely only reflexively said out of internalized homophobia.
>>8630I had an argument with him once and he unironically thinks liberalism and capitalism are separate phenomena and that
capitalism emerged from liberalism, like we literally willed it into existence or something. People always throw the term idealism around here a lot but this is actually a great example of it. Big pseud who should only stick to dissing neocons for their clothes instead of pretending he knows a thing about political or economic theory, but he can't help but still comment on them anyway.
>>8635I think what they're getting at is that it's silly to claim fashion is "inherently" feminine or gay just because cis men say so, especially when most designers are straight men. Even looking at the history of fashion the last century the only trend you could attribute to women/gays is skinny jeans? Maybe?
>trying to purport it’s actually super alpha male to worry about what pretty cloth your wearing is dumbDoubt anyone here will disagree with your main point, but I think "positive stereotypes" are dumb too.
>>8635>yet there have been endless societies where it’s considered obviously feminine/effeminate in theory and practiceWhat? It wasn't until the French Revolution.
After the French Revolution, in France men being into fashion was seen as part of the old nobility and therefore bad. And France set fashion for the western world. So the western world adopted the idea that men should not be into fashion.
Then in the the late 19th century, anglo puritanism put the final nail in the coffin.
>>8615as an nb i never felt right identifying as male but watching his shows made me feel like i could have been a male in rick's world, idk

>>8635>internalized homophobiathanks doc for diagnosing me with your pop psychology. let me know if you're free later, we can chat some more, maybe play some sarcasticaball
>>8638I'd give it a go
>>8640identity is also a kind of fashion, especially the kind you're trafficking in
>>8641>identity is also a kind of fashion, especially the kind you're trafficking inwut
>>8624>Fashion is inherently gay/femininewut
>>8641That’s literally just how I’m built, I don’t think I need medical attention. I’m only slightly underweight (131lbs) for my height, and feel healthy.
>>8648Yeah, BMI isn't really a useful metric.
>>8633Yeah shit sucks. Having a really small waist and large hip-to-waist/shoulder-to-waist ratio is the dream body most women want for themselves, but having it as a cis guy means absolutely nothing unless you’re brave enough to wear cropped midriff / tight tops in public and almost definitely be called slurs.
>>8650so like a bodybuilder? what about heavily tapered tops?

>Until recently, fashion was considered the "F-word" in intellectual circles, dismissed as unworthy of serious attention. Yet no area of life, no individual moment, stands outside fashion's discourses. Intuitively, we all know that clothing is a language, incessantly communicating messages about its wearer. But who speaks this language, to whom is it addressed, what does it mean, and how are its meanings established and transformed? On Fashion explores the ways our material, political, psychological, sexual, even intellectual lives are woven into fashion's fabric.>This stimulating collection of essays explores fashion's symbolic and figurative functions in photography, cinema, and video; in consumerism, postmodernism, and feminism; in political and material culture; and in self-definition and subjectivity. They demonstrate the pervasive reach of fashion and its expressions. Interesting read.
>>8651>like a bodybuilder?Proportion wise I guess?
but having a wide waist/obliques but even larger muscular shoulders is extremely different than a tiny waist and thin but broad shoulders.
>>8655I assume he's going to try and burn that in the shower (safe spot to try) or flush it down the toilet (bad idea), but that monstrosity does deserve to be destroyed.
>>8617What year is that from

People with an irrational aversion to synthetic fabrics because they believe you can absorb microplastics directly from the clothes you're wearing and then buy the shittiest flimsiest roughest cotton out there are funny.
>>8666I think blogs are the way to go with that, but idk any.
>>8669what are you talking about
>>8671im quoting a reddit thread where a redditor whos a model went to an audition wearing fake clothes of the designer he was auditioning for
>>8672Why are you going on reddit silly
>>8676That is probably the least unpopular opinion you could have
>>8677I thought it was widely criticized for being "unhealthy" or whatever. Someone in this very thread got called out just for being thin.
>>8677arent skinny clothes considered "boomer shit" these days
>>8679If you wear them and they make your legs look like sausages, then yes.
Patina on clothes made with quality fabrics is so sexy.
>>8686I hate the rapper hype boom, shit used to be actually affordable before.
Is it reactionary I like wearing suits? I unironically want to look fancy in an office all day and go to lounges afterwards to drink Tom Collins and call women cutesy shit like doll, or sugar.
>>8690Jesus, I'm jealous.
Sometimes I see people online posting their thrift finds and it's stuff like fucking Yohji for under 10 bucks.
>>8691Marni got boring in the last years but the collab with Uniqlo was pretty good, at least women's.
>>8693thrift stores are only filled with good stuff in the us because of their squandering culture all i ever find where i live is whatever first worlders didnt snatch first in their own thrift stores :(
Anyone have experience guinea pigging reps on pandabuy? What’s the odds imma get scammed
>>8698What do you mean guinea-pigging? Pandabuy and all other agents will show you pictures of the product once it arrives to their warehouse so you can check if everything is in order.
>>8699I just mean buying something from a source with 0 reviews or sales
>>8700If you ever get fucked your agent should be able to contact taobao to get your money back, I think.
>>8635Nothing about society is inherent you theorylet. You're arguing metaphysical positions instead of thinking dialectially about fashion. Under primitive communism and in the transition to clan society men and women equally decorated themselves. Early class societies like the Minoan exhibit this. It is only after capitalist society codifies gendered norms to enforce patriarchy that we associate
inherently (as you put it) fashion with femininity or queerness. Once we abolish capitalism also fashion loses the shackles of capitalist society and is aufgehoben to socialist fashion. It will become one of the main points of communist society, since as Marx put it
>As a result, therefore, man (the worker) only feels himself freely active in his animal functions – eating, drinking, procreating, or at most in his dwelling and in dressing-up, etc.; and in his human functions he no longer feels himself to be anything but an animal. What is animal becomes human and what is human becomes animal.
I’ve run into the problem recently of realizing a lot of creatives talk a lot and are truly emotionally intelligent people but don’t really do much of the things they say they do.
Bro I’m so sick of “dark avant-garde” designers a lot of the shit is just gratuitous edginess disguised as being subversive. Some vaguely rich artist highlighting the “darker elements of life 😈”? Ok pal
It’s always some variation of something McQueen, Rick or CCP did without fail. If not that then it’s some shock value shit
>>8704That many pairs of ricks is embarrassing
>>8707same tbh, counterculture has been almost entirely subverted by regular culture, very little stands out in the dark fashion space, whether that be high end or street wear brands like FTP, shit is just edgy for the sake of edgy, selling rebellion to placate the masses.
>>8718Finding a cool t-shirt and realizing the main graphic is on the back.

>>8739all brands are nazi brands, who cares, you dont believe in voting with your wallet do you? and you should buy second hand anyway
>>8738Asos is having a black Friday sale. Not sure what to get. I'm kind of short in cash, I'll browse around and see if something catches my eye.
The issue is that I'm not quite sure what I want my styles to look like. I need a normal weekend style, a club style, an office work style, a workout clothes style. Right now I have clothes I've had for a decade, and new stuff too. It's all a mishmash.
Then there's shit I need to buy asap, like I urgently need new every day shoes. I'm thinking of buying some black Nike's, they're so fucking expensive though. I also need some gloves but I'm thinking of buying the ones at the supermarket.
why do people even get fake normie luxury bags its literally just thief bait
>>8742Cause it’s cheap so if someone steals it who cares

>>8751If you want to go monochromatic, the more attention to detail is required. Cut, drape, texture, features, etc, all become more important than they normally would since mix'n'matching creates visual interest on its own.
I fucking hate couriers. I'm in Canada and UPS/Fedex/DHL give me problems almost half the time. I've had over 100 packages come through Canada Post and they only fucked up once. Keep hearing horror stories about made-up tariffs that easily amount to $100 all around the world.
>>8756i once had a fedex package stalled because of some issue and when i had to call them the person on the other end hung up when i took too long to answer a question about the shipping code or whatever because i was trying to look for it

whoops sorry for deleting the original post
<i wish i could get away with wearing cute bags that resemble animals as a man :(>>8792yeah, im a coward too. attractive people can do whatever they want
>>8794thats why im bald, no matter how much i take care of my hair people will think the opposite
>>8794Straight hair is also boring in most cases. Fluff is nice.
>>8787How many people's entire entry into ma+ is a '+' belt styled in exactly the same way? Too many.
>>8794this is just some idiot that got into a bunch of hair care stuff and is now complaining about it and pinning it on their hair type for some reason because they have 0 self awareness
also long straight hair is high maintenance and gets frizzy without care too
I'm not saying only attractive people should wear nice clothing but sometimes I see insane fits with a head that simply doesn't fit with the aesthetic. At least change your haircut.
>>8800people have made the same unfunny joke even with regular converse for decades already lol

saw a headline about how the gay leather subculture was dying and i wonder if its the macho perception of it thats turning people off, you could argue thats the whole point of it but i think theres room for different masculine ideals like some sephiroth looking guys maybe
>>8812It's just a picture.
>>8814>I wear them on top of my belly buttonSo they're high rise or are you torturing your balls? If you're looking for suggestions look for wide cropped tops.
>>8811I think the only real offender is thin wire-frame glasses. Also most people won't even know them as incel glasses, though they might think they're out of style.
>>8815>look for wide cropped tops.Nice, I'll check them out! I have a bit of a belly, so I'm self conscious about croptops. I'll buy one anyways just to see how I look. I wore these pants today with a short polo. It looked pretty nice.
My balls are fine lol, there's plenty of space left.
Any recommendations for casual shoes with big heels? I think it would go with this look and it would make me look a bit taller but I don't want to kill myself with boots, like doc martens style boots.
>>8817As in chunky? Doc Martens has derbies and oxfords with chunky soles too if you don't want to go for combat boots. Maybe look for cuban heel shoes too. Idk I don't got many cheap recs for shoes.
>>8818Are the pictures you attached what you meant? Because if I look online its mostly wide fitted belly button length tops. I have the pic rel nice asos oversized bomberjacket that looks pretty cool with the fit.
>>8819I was mostly looking for some "sport shoes" with chunky or large soles. But you're right that some docmartens would look good with this fit.
i tried on several different semitransparent/lacy tops at a store but i dont think theyre for me :(

has anyone ITT tried to replicate/take inspiration from Soviet fashions? I thought yesterday about how there must have been fashion styles in the USSR and was looking into it a bit yesterday and saw that the Constructivists did this. I kinda want to try to replicate some of their designs but I also don't know how to sew at all.
>>8837Agreed.
Also make sure to have a suitable collection of eye-catching ties.
>>8782Leather, taller, sidezips, bigger. Same styling different proportions/materials.

>>8724>>8726skirts are usually made pretty cheaply and are ugly as a result, if you look at skirts made by designers for men theyre usually more shawl like and made better so its more flattering to wear
>>8611>fashion threadBless this thread, fashion is something that I always wanted to try myself. But I can only salivate over those Balenciaga clothes (they're fuckin expensive) and watch JoJo.
>>8637Daaamn, the man's got a drip.
>>8858I like Demna but only confined to the runway. I don't think anything tops the DHL polo from when he was in Vetements. The overexposure thanks to rappers and celebrities and regular people desperately wanting to emulate them doesn't help.
>>8665The material it's made of doesn't really mean much. Not only are there many different quality tiers for each material including cotton but in this day and age 100% anything doesn't mean much for quality. Synthetic fabrics have come such a long way since the '40's and the idea that synthetic equates to inferior is dated. Rick Owens, for example, uses many synthetic blends to provide different textures and draping.
It's more important to judge a garment just by handling it. It sounds stupid but if you've handled lots of different fabrics it's pretty easy to tell the difference between high quality and low.
Then you look at the cut, seams, and stitching. Are the clothes cut in a boxy one size fits all manner or are they cut to conform to the body? Is the seam work logical? Is it anatomic or straight? Is the stitching reinforced at stress points? Are there loose threads?
It's kind of hard to explain in writing but go to a department store sometime and look at a high end designer shirt. Examine the details and look at the composition tags. Then do the same for a cheap basic shirt. Note the differences. You can read up on basic garment construction for a better idea but comparing and contrasting provides a good base level to judge quality.
>>8863if you wear them all then its fine to have that many jackets
Paradoxically, fit people are conditioned to start sweating sooner after starting exercise than unfit people

>Fitted clothes not compatible with cycling.
>end up wearing sportswear, fleeces and sweatpants.
Anons who understand the struggle, any wild suggestions?
>>8873terrible suggestion lmao
wool if you have the money
sportswear is synthetic for a reason too, gets rid of sweat faster
>>8874exactly. A cotton tshirt under a cotton button up, with a rucksack, means sweat. Quality cotton pieces turn to shit if they're washed all the time. Wool can be good but shapes we like usually aren't made of wool. I've been thinking about cotton things with underarm, chest and back zip vents. Maybe stretch panels too, like cotton pants with a stretch panel at the crotch for cycling.

>>8888this has to be fake right…
>>8888I know it makes complete sense under capitalism but it still amazes me that hypebeasts evolved from paying $1000 for Supreme t-shirts that originally cost under $100 to paying $8000 for 20-year-old second-hand designer clothes that you could get for under $400 before the hype.

>>8920Mods already did this once
>>8930anything you take from a fucking old navy catalog or whatever is going to be bad lmfao
regular blazers are boring, regular t-shirts are boring, no shit combining them is boring too
>>8932The issue isnt boring, its the combination of suit jacket + jeans and shirt. It looks like ass. I never seen it look good on anyone who wasnt 10/10 gigachad model, and that doesnt count.
>>8933i dont think youve looked at many outfits then, and why are you bringing up jeans now?
seriously youre complaining about a specific hypernormie thing and then pretending it or any variations cant be pulled off in any way whatsoever
>>8935ok i give up lol. clothes beyond what you can find at a suburban mall exist too you know
>>8938The little details do make it better yea.
>>8936All right, so can you show any examples of what you have in mind?
>>8940I see the appeal, it makes the suit more visually rich I guess, but I find it too much. Too layered, you have jacket on top of waistcoat on top of tie on top of shirt, and if its cold ouside and you add coat, you have officially entered JRPG character design territory.
>>8941If this normie thing is what passes as "JRPG character design" to you then you must be incredibly boring.
>>8943You're posting fucking stock photos and claiming they're "too much", lmfao, and then ask me to post what I look like? Are you from /r/MFA or post-2016 /fa/?
>>8942It was just a fancy way of saying overdesigned. You start adding stuff to make it plain outfit look more interesting, and then forget to stop.
Ignore the JRPG comparison, the point was its too many layers. There is a reason suit, shirt and tie are such a popular combination, it works, looks good. Modifying it too much (waistcoat, t-shirt) can still look good and more eye catching, but I feel like its a step-down in terms of overall aesthetics.

>>8958I tried to, but cant find any I like. They all smell, I dont know, chemical I guess. Reminds me of driving in old family Škoda. Maybe because I only tried cheaper stuff.
>>8956That blazer and those pants are great.
>>8958>>8963Go to a mall and try fragrances out, even the expensive ones, just to find out what tones you like most. Idk if coffee beans do anything to actually reset your sense of smell so try out a few at a time.
https://www.air-aroma.com/blog/using-coffee-beans-to-reset-your-sense-of-smell/
>>8958>>8963>>8965In very broad strokes, there are four types of fragrances. One, which smell like woods. Two, which smell like flowers. Three, which smell like shower gels. And four, which smell like candies and chocolates. People will throw all those big words at you and that will only complicate it for you.
A fragrance has different notes and stages, too. On first spray, the smell will be a bit (or a lot) different than when it "dries down". So if you like a fragrance, spray yourself and give it a few hours to see what it smells like then.
Smell more and you'll see. Pretty much the only way to start understanding it.
>>8960That's fine. I try to take breaks every now and then to avoid nose blindness.
>>8963Personally I never liked fragrance but a few months ago it just clicked. I'd recommend trying out some of the really expensive stuff at a mall or something. You can find rip-off versions that are really cheap if you like the smell. I use knock offs of tom ford colognes and while it doesn't last very long it's fun while it's active.
>>8969bro wear what you want, it's fine. not like people are gonna demand to check your wallet is it
>>8971just say 'I'm in imports and exports' then B^)
>>8969>wearing a blazer is a "rich people" thinglmfaooooooooooo rich people are wearing patagonia vests or balenciaga jeans dude
>>8973I dont mean rich rich, but shirt and blazer isnt typical blue collar outfit. Makes me self-conscious, so I am asking here opinions of other people to figure out if its just my own insecurity or not.
>>8971>>8975Remember with suits it's always tailoring over brand. Get your shit tailored.
>>8976this only really applies if you want that boring mfa look, if you get an interesting blazer it depends
>>8979youre spousing the standard sterile mfa view that a piece of clothes can only be done in a single way and anything that slightly deviates from this arbitrary norm is "wrong". this view is specially nonsensical these days
>>8981if this is your idea of "loose" or "trashbag" then yeah youre insufferably mfa. anything that isnt a perfectly tailored boring suit or a flannel with red wing boots is too much for you faggots
gonna bet its the same retard who called a simple coat over a simple tailored suit "larpy"
>>8983I meant go ahead and wear a literal trash bag. What's the point of talking about aeshtetics?
>>8985Where did I say suits can't come in different fits? What does a fit have to do with tailoring?
>>8976what about drop shoulders, intentionally long slim sleeves, cropped and wide, drop crotches, asymmetry, etc? "perfectly tailored" clothes arent the golden standard
>>8987>intentionalThat's literally the whole point of tailoring idiot. So everything falls where it's intended to.
>>8977r/MFA always looks silly because they have more money than sense. They focus on creating these perfectly manicured fits that are aesthetic but they have no style of their own. It's a mishmash of geeky guys wearing brand new workwear or autistic old-timey suits.
It's what happens when your concept of fashion comes exclusively from infographics. There's rarely any sense of personal edge, it's always some variation of a copy-pasted look they got off of the internet.
>>8751Wear an interesting jacket, or wear interesting pants/hat/jewelry or
>>8752 if you don't want to add layers.
>>8775I hate having handled Guidi boots because their leather is insane but so are the prices and I will never be able to afford that, even second-hand (and second-hand leather footwear is eh…).
>>8978Get some el cheapo tencell/rayon/viscose/modal shirt if you want drapes and don't want to go the designer route.
>>8993cheap rayon disintegrates after a few washes
though this can be said about the cheap version of any material
>>8996time is a flat circle
>>39847
it looks ok yes. dont wear an undershirt for extra sleaze if youre going for that
>>8998Thanks, I already deleted the pic because I was embarrassed by it, but since someone already saw it might as well reupload. The shirt is too small and my boots look like sneakers for 6 year olds.
Anyway, I wasnt really going for sleaze, more just something colourful and cheerful I guess.
>>8996>Censori>CensoredBut seriously you can't even see anything
>>8969Rich people don't really wear suits anymore tbh. Blazers are super cheap second hand too. If you really don't want to seem like your overdressing you can wear the blazer with a sweater instead of a dress shirt.
>>8981Why do all evil people have the worst suits ever made? Where do you even find shit that looks this bad? Genuine insanity.
>>9001Correct, rich people wear $3000 French designer versions of American high school sports wear.
Anyone remember when every single celebrity was wearing this thing like they were all on the Nouveau riche varsity team?
>>9004jeans and denim come from southern france/northern italy
>>9003White and black was big for a while.
>>8973That’s more like modern nouveau riche style tbh. Old money dresses different.
>>9007They're all fine tbh.
>>9011your shitty takes are exactly what post-/pol/-infestation /fa/ sounds like
>>9009Yeah, wool, linen, tweed, leather, none of which should look brand new or current fashion. Old money hates spending money.
>>9009All the bourgeois and politicians dress like that in my country at least. Their children tend to dress like casual preppy until they hit 30 though.
>>9003rich people wear whatever they fuck they want because they have nobody to impress. youre hyperfocusing on celebrities who have hired people to tell them what to wear so they seem "trendy" and pay MSRP for mainstream designer pieces lol. people like gates or zuccerberg wear basic tshirts that cost $500 each for example
>>9008Black and white are the most neutral colors ever, it's no wonder.
>>8969If you want a
casual blazer then look for loose unstructured blazers lol.
>>8990Something about this outfit is unnerving but I can't really pinpoint what
>>9007I like the 4th pic, looks like something out of scarface
>>9009>>9013I've once been to a private wealth management conference, where people from wealthy families showed up. Didn't really look that different from regular upper-middle class folks. Lots of chinos, polo shirts, button-down shirts and blazers, nice loafers. Only thing that really stood out were retardedly expensive watches and perfect pearly white teeth everywhere.
i love designer clothing but cant stand interviews with designers, theyre all so pretentious yet basic. shoutout to japanese designers who always have interviews that seem generated by chatgpt lmao
>>9010>>9020Appreciate the feedback, but I still feel like, I dont know, something is missing? Like the outfit is too basic. I am not jewelry fan (and dont want end up dressing like an arab immigrant), so maybe something on top, a jacket or something?
>>9021My hypothesis is that the divide is between rich that do some managerial work, meaning they show in the office, meetings, conferences, so they dress like upper class professional, and those who completely outsourced all of that, not being in any way involved in actual day-today-day business operations, and dress like an unemployed NEET because thats what they effectively are.
>>9031Hmm, what shirt and tie do you want to use?
>>9032White shirt with black, navy or burgundy tie, black/dark grey shirt with black tie, red shirt with black tie. Those are the combinations I'll be using most
>>9031Daring today, aren't we?
>>9034Yeah, is he even trying to look like an anime character?
>>9035Looking like an anime character hasn't even been a thing in mainstream fashion in over a decade.
>>9031>>9033all of those options are equally bland so just throw some dice to help you decide 👍
>>9033Stripped one for white shirt, plain for gray/black is what I would pick.
>>9038So you're not a fan of the black minigrid?
>>9039No, because the pattern is so small that unless someone is right next to you, its just gonna look like plain one with fading colour.
>>9040Yeah I had to enlarge the image to even notice it.
>>9042military gear is anything but practical, the fleeces, socks and compression gear are all pretty decent but most boots, jackets, pants and backpacks are too bulky, too heavy and uncomfortable. sure the shit is sturdy and won't break down but the benefit of its durability is far outweighed by everything else about it. and in the case of boots because theyre all used the leather has already molded to another persons feet
>>9047Are you so fat that you need two?
>>9047Beginning to understand the term gooncave.
>>9048Ever heard of having friends?
>>9046So what?
It’s a clown world and you have clown feet to walk it.
Embrace your inner clown.
>>9046>>9050the world is a circus and we are all its little clowns…
>>9052'The world is just a barrel-organ which the Lord God turns Himself. We all have to dance to the tune which is already on the drum."
>>9047This is cool as fuck. But yeah, should've been a big couch with some poufs scattered on the floor.
oh my fucking god why is every interesting shoe made only for women absolutely no love for big feet uyghas
looking at japanese cargo pants and you could stick a 3 liter cola in each pocket
>>9059It’s to carry their nintendo switch in
>>9060now that i think about it i used to have a jp repro of a military jacket that had inner pockets big enough for my thinkpad
>>8698You won't get scammed, you're just going to get paper-thin garbage that's worse than even H&M in quality unless you pay up, and even then actual quality reps are very few. And even then I've seen plenty of people on reddit and fedcord who paid hundreds for seemingly well-made reps that fell apart a month in.
>>9022I've been watching some of Rick's interviews and he's ridiculously down to earth. He's not inspired by poetry or dead trees, he's inspired by body building and motorcyclists lmao. I guess it helps that he grew up near homeless until he was picked up by his now wife.
Hi, Damir. How are you doing?
Fine, thanks.
So how come after 3 years of doing menswear collections, you’ve decided to launch a womenswear collection?
I always wanted to do it, but it was much easier to start with men because I’m a man, and basically I design clothes for myself. Also it’s because I was assisting Dirk Schoenberger and Raf Simons before starting on my own stuff, and for me it was easier to start with something I already knew. Anyway, it was the right time to start the womenswear collection, because I don’t want to be just a menswear designer. If you want to build a fashion house, you need to cover menswear and womenswear.
Which designers are an inspiration for you?
I have always been inspired by Armani – his shapes and lines – and also by Miyake and Helmut Lang.
What was the inspiration for the collection?
It wasn’t easy at the beginning. I took some pieces from my menswear collection and reshaped them because I needed something to start from, but I’ve changed them for the next collection because I don’t want to do unisex. The shapes are more feminine now, and I’m also thinking about bringing more structure into the men’s side. At the moment my inspiration comes from my girlfriend – I’m doing the clothes for her. I normally start off by gathering images and things that trigger something in me, feelings and colors…and I stick them up on a big board, which just grows and grows. I’m a feeling designer. It is obvious that both my collections are going to have the same spirit. I am not someone who creates a concept then builds something around it, like Raf, for example. Raf has a concept and if you see him and his collection it’s like they’re two different worlds. I develop my own fabrics in Italy with Lyria for the different volumes and shapes…
You need to build up your own identity. All of the major women’s fashion houses already have one; you must have one, surely…
Yes – but it takes you years. Women’s fashion is so crowded; there are so many labels; too much shopping…
Yes, but everyone wants do design for women.
I know, because women’s fashion is where the money is. That’s where you can cover your costs, and that’s what it’s all about in this crazy business. It’s very emotional – there’s no other business where you would invest your money for such a small return. You’d just say, “Fuck it” (Laughs). In fact it is so emotional that people in the big houses will just throw all their money into a small collection, but at the end of the day they still have to cover their own costs, so that’s why you make the money with womenswear collections. That’s the long-term plan for all of us, otherwise you just can’t do fashion shows. I’d say that [sic] is almost no one, except maybe Dries Van Noten and Ann Demeulemeester, who actually make money out of their clothing, and these days even they are selling a lot of shoes and bags. Do you really think Balenciaga makes money from the clothing?
No…
I don’t think so. And in men’s fashion, that potential just isn’t there.
I think it’s also because there was a long period of time when men’s fashion was completely like… dead… and now it’s flowing again, and it’s really good because there used to be nothing…
Yes, it is interesting. I also think that the atmosphere during men’s fashion week is better than during women’s. It is lighter, easier, but in a positive way. Everyone is cool, everyone’s open to things; there’s a lot of communication… Things are much more open during men’s week. During women’s week it’s like everybody’s in a hurry.
>>9064And you can spend the money on a perfume line, on a shoe line…
That’s what holds the whole business together. Also, the magazines need advertisers, and all of that kind of thing comes from the bags and perfumes, which is absolutely ridiculous while we’re all making this huge effort. That’s what I’m saying: it’s all about emotions. We really go to a lot of trouble…
You had your own perfume, didn’t you?
Yes, but it was only a project. I don’t even have it myself anymore, because it sold out in a month.
Really?
They only did a limited edition – two or three thousand bottles – and didn’t bring it out it [sic] again. It’s very sad because we spent all that money, and developing a perfume is extremely expensive, and then they don’t use it again. Because they do a new group of designers each year.
Are you thinking about doing a new one?
I would love to. I think creating a perfume is such a great experience, not just for designers but for all human beings. I was working with a perfumer from New York, and I kind of wrote a story for him, and he made the scent from my story. So it’s really a lot fo fun; it’s just great that you can create your own perfume. But it’s complicated for a label; you have to be very big to do perfume. There are also other examples, like Victor & Rolf; I don’t think they make any money from their collection, they just have to do the collection to sell the perfume.
Comme des Garçons is the best example of that.
But Comme des Garçons is my business role model. If I’m thinking about the business and how we should do things, I always look at Comme des Garçons, because to me they are the only ones who manage to maintain a really, really strong image – actually the strongest in the whole market – and do so much cheesy stuff and it doesn’t hurt their image. I have friends in Germany who have nothing to do with fashion, and they’ve got a Comme des Garçons wallet, and if you ask them what Comme des Garçons is, they don’ t know! (Laughs) They’ve never heard of it, and they do not know who Rei Kawakubo is, which is fantastic. What they did in the perfume business is just amazing, because the scents are the best; they do the best perfumes in really cool packaging and the price is OK, too. I think they now have about 50 different scents, and five years ago they only had a couple. And they do it in such a clever way, because they do not invest all the money in special flacons.
Yes, it is really cool.
Yes, it is cool.
What do you think about Zara, H&M etc.?
I think that what they are doing is good. Of course they copy, but I wouldn’t be angry if I saw a copied piece hanging there, because that means that someone who can’t afford my clothing or stuff from other high-end designers can buy something similar there, and that also teaches the general public how to dress. I also launched a second line called Silent, which is reasonably priced because I don’t have to develop fabrics especially for that collection.
Does anyone know where I can get a three-piece suit for less than $1,000? I want it to be at least half canvas, 100% wool (super 130 would be perfect but not required). I've been looking at ebay for used suits but finding a 3 piece that isn't polyester garbage and is the color I want is pretty hard. I've heard good things about suitsupply but they seem to have raised their prices so I wonder if it's still the steal everyone says it is.
>>9067Ebay is your best bet. You might get lucky browsing grailed and the sort.
still learning how2match textures/materials/proportions/general vibes instead of stealing fits, shits harder than i thought
I RECENTLY SAW A MOVIE FROM THE '80S THAT I’D BEEN IN AS AN EXTRA IN A GOTH NIGHTCLUB SCENE. I HAD JUST MOVED TO L.A. FROM A SMALL SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TOWN AND WAS STARTING TO BLOSSOM INTO THE EARLY STAGES OF GOTHDOM. I WINCED AT MY NAIVE AND VULNERABLE FACE TRYING TO LOOK HARD AND WORLD-WEARY.
GOTH WAS GONNA BE MY ANSWER. IT WAS GOING TO CONFRONT EVERYONE AND DECLARE ME. I WAS GOING TO DIVE INTO A WORLD OF SIN AND EXOTICISM THAT I’D READ ABOUT IN HUYSMANS “AU REBOURS” AND “LA BAS” IN MY PARENTS' LIBRARY AT HOME. I WOULD LAY A BLACK GLITTERING TURD ON THE WHITE LANDSCAPE OF CONFORMITY.
I DROVE A BLACK T-TOP CAMARO. THE STEREO BLASTED SISTERS OF MERCY, MARLENE DIETRICH AND WAGNER. I WORE MY GLOVES AND JEWELRY TO BED IN FULL MAKEUP. I LIVED ON BLACK BEAUTIES AND CIGARETTES. I LIVED IN A FRIEND'S STUDIO BY THE RAILROAD TRACKS THAT WAS ACCESSED BY A FIRE ESCAPE TO THE ROOF. PERFECT FOR CAPES.
AS THE YEARS WENT BY, THE INSECURITY AND ANGST STARTED GIVING WAY TO SOMETHING MORE DIONYSIAN AND SELF-DESTRUCTIVE UNTIL FINALLY, AFTER ALL THE DARKNESS, I REACHED A CLEAR-EYED GYM-QUEEN CALM.
LATER, THE MAIN REASON I TOOK A JOB AS ARTISTIC DIRECTOR WITH THE REVILLON FUR MAISON IN PARIS WAS ITS DIRECT LINEAGE TO GLAMOROUS, DECADENT, FIN-DE-SIECLE PARIS, MY NE PLUS ULTRA OF HIGH ARTIFICE. IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1763. SARAH BERNHARDT PROBABLY WORE A REVILLON FUR WITH THE TAXIDERMIED BAT SHE WORE IN HER HAIR.
I WAS STILL ATTRACTED TO THE SAME AESTHETIC, BUT IT NOW HAD A LAYER OF AFFECTION. ALL THOSE YEARS OF DOOMED IDEALISM SEEN IN THE DAYLIGHT OF ADULTHOOD SEEMED RATHER SWEET. AND POIGNANT. EVERYTHING BLACK I EVER WORE AGAIN OR PUT ON A RUNWAY WOULD BE WITH A LOVING WINK.
AND I FINALLY SEE THE LINES OF DISSAPATION IN MY FACE THAT I SO DESPERATELY WANTED IN MY YOUTH.

>>9074The guy's based off of the MC of Jackass, not Japanese otaku. He's more of an unemployed punk who likes watching anime ("otaku punk" honestly sounds kinda cursed, but then again, battle shounen fans exist).

>>9088This is cynical of me to say but I understand why marxists say land reform is a petit-bourgeois concern. Still a cool thing from a non-communist pov.
>>9071>>9073feels like only asians make high waisted pants anymore
>>9073Unfortunately high rise pants have not been popular with men for over half a century.
I have a few pairs from a japanese designer brand but designer brands might be iffy since a lot of their stock is seasonal.
There is low demand and low supply for this style of pant. Repros of trousers pre WWII fill the niche but often some details are wrong. Scavini and Kit Blake are european brands that offer RTW high rise trousers but I think they are online only. You can also get a tailor to make them for you, or look for a MTM brand that offers a high rise customization for their trousers.
I have no idea how you're going to try one on before you buy, unless your city is big enough to have a number of designer boutiques that happen to carry what you're looking for this season. Or maybe Uniqlo U if you're lucky.
funniest "battle jacket" i saw at a show the other night was one with metal studs and everything but the guy decided to put an eminem patch most prominently at the top
The truth is personal grooming is the key to looking good. It's why everyone laughs at stuff like
>>8771. Style is just class signaling, consider:
>Preppynatty booj
>High Fashionpetit booj
>StreetwearLumpen
>>9097idk "high fashion" is a vague term and all those three categories can range from $10 to $10000 depending on the piece
>look for interior design inspo
>it's always people mistaking great skylines and beautiful vistas for interior design
>>9097aesthetic class signifiers dont exist anymore like they did in ye olden days
rich kids will LARP as anything, and even bits of preppy/ivy style have been appropriated into mainstream casual fashion
>>9100>aesthetic class signifiers dont exist anymore like they did in ye olden daysEspecially with the existence of credit cards.
>>9097Trying to fit an outift into whatever terrible buzzwords people made up is a pointless pursuit.
One thing I love about fashion in general, is how it is fluid, there are no boundaries, no limits, no boxes to tick off. Only inspiration and cloth. I understand that the STEM types that venture on the internet are used to that kind of engineered approach to something like fashion. The gossamer of fashion is not something you can put in a neat little box and attach a label to.
Knowing how to dress conservatively and knowing how clothes should fit (something that should be a basic human skill and that your parents should have thought you when you were still a kid) =/= fashion
>>9097What is it with chinlets being pissy about living in a post-modern world where nothing means anything? Nobody wearing workwear to the office thinks they're signaling that they're a poor hard tough working man. It's all aesthetic/personal taste.
>>8827God I know how you feel anon, currently I am at a point where I overdress for 25 minute trip to a grocery store just to make some use out of my good clothing.
>>9108Always loved how George dressed
>>9111This might surprise you but there's more things to life than sex.
>>9104Just makes me think of cyberpunk for some reason
>>9111It doesn’t matter but it’s still fun sometimes
>>9108>>9110All of the characters had many outfits that were ahead of their time but George was the all-around best indeed.
Even while being fat he still looks better than those gentleman's gazette geeds.
>>9116>funWell fair be it. My experience of fashion is mostly boojies deriding people for not spending as much money as them. I am not against people spending their money on nonsense if that is there obsession, but I hate elitism.
>>9120money is a factor like always but thrifting and second-hand clothing are a thing. almost nobody pays retail
kinda boring to have discussion with someone who doesnt appreciate clothes #9999999 tbh
>>9127Is he wearing trash bags on his feet?
>>9127The "terrorwave" guys are gonna love this one.
>>9103Yea, learning how to dress well is more like learning a language than solving a science problem.
>>9126Unless you're wearing milsurp head to toe then nobody cares. Military clothing has so many layers and decades of cultural meaning.
>>9128hamas fighter in 2008
>>9129Yeah idk, maybe he didn't want to get his shoes dirty when he went to step on an IOF soldier
>>9132Look up nehru jacket. There are tons out there.
>>9133What is the difference between a mandarin collar and a nehru jacket?
>>9132>>9136Also if you get a bespoke jacket from undochino or wherever, they usually have the nehru collar as an option.
>>9137*indochino just looked it up and they don't have it but I remember seeing it as an option on some similar site.
>>9139what western clothing is it a variant of?
>>9141i'd say it's traditional south asian/persian fashion with some construction elements absorbed from the british (buttons, pockets, etc)
westerners didnt invent the general concept of coats/jackets lol
the concept of "cultural appropriation" is utterly retarded because culture mingle all the time and its especially meaningless in the 21st century
>>9147He looks like every retard who wears that garbage past their teenage years.
>>9147those clothes look shit even if he was young. old people can look perfectly dignified in a nice classy fit
>>9147If it was just the shoes, the hat, or the hoodie, he might be fine. The combination of all three makes look like an elderly hypebeast influencer.
>>9134Look at how designers tame their more romantic impulses. Restraint can make one romantic detail as interesting as a dress full of them. Veronique Branquinho, Chloe, Simone Rocha, Dries Van Noten all take inspiration from opulent, elaborate fabrics and historical references, but they channel it in a way where it becomes a modern flourish and not an anachronistic affectation. You can also look at how certain fashion eras have tapped into older styles to give them a contemporary context. When the bohos and hippies repurposed lace and frills, they did so to contrast themselves with the straight-laced styles that dominated post-war America and Europe. But by pairing it with jeans and clogs, they weren't just reusing a historical style; they were recontextualizing it.
>>9151I mean ok the pants are fine (though I personally think too rolled up). You know what I meant.
>>9154meh they look fine to me, anyway it's the first day what do you expect?
>>9154>BAP-reading rightoidWhenever I think I'm too harsh on recent trends I remember neocons who have meltdowns over anything zoomers do exist.
>>9154> fashion schoolDo they mean the mall?
>try to find affordable combat boots that aren't shitty marked-up milsurp from half a century ago
>they're all for fucking women
This must be a fucking joke.
>>9160>nation-wide replica crackdownLe socialist IP laws.
>>8783Lol that lineup is so classic. Pretty sure it happened in Australia? I frequented /fa/ at the time. Maybe circa 2014?
>>9154I don’t get why the right would fret about the fashion trends in the video. I’m not seeing anything that looks that much different from the last thirty years.
>>9163Notice how no one ever criticizes Milei for dressing like a retard despite being head of state, when over in the UK Corbyn was relentlessly attacked for months for refusing to wear a suit until he gave in.
>>9163>leather jacket over a generic shitty polowtf?
also old people ought to stop wearing slim/skinny pants
>>9164yeah it was in australia
>>9154they look like average young people that started thinking about fashion
>>9170most celebs only wear random trendy shit thrown together
If I had a lot of dispensable money I'd love to get a leather jacket with an interesting design and treatment. :(
>>9170What the actual fuck is timothee's fit here? Gotta be some kind of joke
>>9175B-B-But it's Balenciaga!
>>9170Oooh black on black.
Very daring
>>9178Black on black is good when you aren't wearing the most basic textures and silhouettes.
>>9173I personally hate camo coming back.

YOULL NEVER SEE ME AROUND TOWN, WITHOUT FIRST SEEING MY EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA LARGE BLUE SUIT COAT AND MATCHING PANTS WITH ME
TAILORED USING THE FINEST THREADED PSEUDO FABRIC, MY SUIT IS BUILT TO LAST AND LOOK GOOD WHILE DOING IT
JUST LOOK HOW WITH ONE SQUAT, MY PANTS AREN'T SMASHED TO BITS
EVEN RAISING MY ARMS FOR JUMPING JACKS DOESN'T HURT MY SUIT
ANCIENT TAILORS KNEW THAT PROPER OUTFITS REQUIRED PROPER CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND MY COLD STEEL XXXL DARK BLUE ENSEMBLES TAKEN THAT PHILOSOPHY TO HEART
WATCH WITH ONE BEND, MY SHOELACES GET TIED TO BITS, EFFORTLESSLY

I’m planning on getting real fat.
What clothes should fat people wear?
>>9187For anyone in 99% of cases clothes that fit and don't look tight on them.
>>9187why do you wanna get fat?
Some days I want to dress like a billowy mass of old-timer fabrics and other days I want to dress like a post-gender android from the future…
I'm here to find extremely toxic ways to express my masculinity, stop trying to make fashion gay
>>9194good vascularity, looking juicy for summer bro no homo.
>>9167Corbyn should have rebelled and went full streetwear.
>>9167>until he gave inDidn't they still give him shit for wearing a tie anyway?
>>9179Yeah, but black-on-black is also an incredibly safe combination. I would expect more.
>>9200It's easier to look good with colors. Like I already said, when you're wearing all black you emphasize the silhouette and textures used (because you'd "expect more" indeed). You can get away with a lot more when using colors. For some reason all those shitty fashion guides online place way too much importance on color coordination when it's one of the least important aspects of an outfit in practice.
>>9203It's been for like a decade now, man.
Any of you got the hookup for a pair of decently priced japanese selvedge denim jeans?
>>9205Does Uniqlo still sell selvedge denim from Japanese mills?
god saw me wearing a crop top with leather pants and said you cannot dress like an 80s movie gang member
>>9197shit she's gorgeous here
>>9207Men in croptops is like women with short skirts. Very hot.
>>9197I'll take it.
>>9211>youtuber slop>outdated meme thumbnaillol
>>9211Yeah, I think dressing in a personalized unique way is more important than dressing "good".
>>9213i think the opposite, that "unique" doesnt automatically mean good, or rather, its not as clear cut as that. i disagree with the idea of "expressing yourself" via your clothes too tbh
>>9203thicc frames have always been seen as dorky i think
