/fa/ - Fashion

1 of 2

I think the best term, however flawed, for describing the entire scope of what we're trying to discuss here is avant-garde. I understand that not everything in these threads is necessarily pushing the envelope in the truest sense of the term but I think that it's a useful phrase to describe outsider fashion as contrasted with commonplace clothing and labels.

Dark or goth is limiting; those more like internet buzzwords to describe the drapey Rick, Julius, and Boris fits that were popular six or seven years ago. The term artisanal also applies here but I think it's more specific to smaller labels with a lot of hand finishing like Carpe Diem, Individual Sentiments, or Lost & Found as opposed to labels like Rick.
