/fa/ - Fashion

>>10134861
* If you have no actual working, applicable knowledge of design and aesthetic, quit fashion. Not everyone gets a gold star. You do not get a prize just for showing up. You do not get a pat on the back just for entering. If you are unable to look at two paintings and say which one is better, and why - quit fashion. If you cannot determine which of two outfits is better and explain why - quit fashion. If you think comparing art is unfair - especially when it is pieces from different decades, and different cultures - read the beginning of this section again and quit fashion.

-

* Health > skeleton/overweight
If you think being anorexic is fashionable, quit fashion. If you think being underweight causes you to be a better "coathanger" for clothes, quit fashion. If you cannot do an absolute minimum of 10 chin-ups and 10 push-ups, quit fashion. If you think having dark circles under your eyes is fashionable, and TRY to achieve them, quit fashion. If you think you can be, "/fa/tshionable" - quit fashion. If you do not have the drive to be a healthy weight, quit fashion. (On that note how do you expect to have the drive to be proficient in fashion?)


* Decision making
If you cannot find a pair of shoes for yourself, quit fashion. If you have to ask for help before every purchase, quit fashion. If you are scared to make mistakes, quit fashion. If you are scared to embarass yourself and never recover, quit fashion. If you have to double-check about purchasing the current meme-shoe, quit fashion.

-

* Trend-hopping / costume-wearing
If you dress palewave, normcore, healthgoth, seagoth, sandninja, lunarcore, gothninja (insert memewear attire name)... quit fashion. You are wearing a costume, and are only a reflection of an individual with no identity or culture that sits at a computer too much. The "fashionable" friends you grail after try not to laugh as they pass you. You are embracing an internet-only trend. You are a walking mockery.

>>10134861
I will be taking suggestions for what to add, and I will be available to answer questions for approximately 2.5 hours.

I will eventually make a section for girls, don't worry - everyone will more than likely get their feelings hurt by the time this is done.

I'm not reading this till you drop trip

>>10134881
My trip will only be used in regards to this manifesto, or beckoning Pigfuck as I just did. I will make no other posts on the website outside of "Anonymous", let alone with a tripcode

you actually typed all this out lol
feel bad 4 u fam tbh smh

>>10134887
>beckoning Pigfuck as I just did
you rang?

>>10134907
My intention is only to help. More substance to this manifesto would answer MANY questions, and would be easy to direct people to. I plan to type quite a bit more.

I am in a giving mood. I am in the mood to enlighten, and a vessel where I can do so faceless and still reach the goal is ideal.

>>10134861
did someone bully you today?

this board is such shit

Pretty big opening play from a very new trip.

Will all his posts match the level of these cutting insights? We'll just have to wait and see.

>>10134929
Do you think it's worth saying fashion is a, "white man's" game, that you can't be fashionable simply on the premise of not being white, or do you feel there are exceptions to this?

To make the claim that it's a "white man's" game would entail a lot of citations I don't necessarily feel like digging up

>>10134930
your manifesto helps nobody you mega autist
>durr only try to dress well if you are between 6'-6'2

ARE BIKES /FA/?!

>>10134947
Anyone is obviously more than welcome to ride a bike

To ask, "are bikes /fa/" places some obligations to it

If you are knowledgeable about bikes, especially not being scared to get hands-on and repair them or help others, and you have a loose association to the lifestyle or culture - OR could easily intermingle with such culture if necessary, then yes

>>10134946
I understand your frustration, but I am addressing the seemingly impossible standard of being, "fashionable" that this board culture ultimately strives towards

Any self-respecting individual should work to present themselves in the most favorable way, but if you are trying to be, "about that (fashion) life", especially for the long-term - you may want to reevaluate that potential endeavor

>>10134861
>>10134865
>>10134930
>>10134956
this is the most autistic shit i've ever seen on this board, gj

this has actually nothing to do with clothes and is mostly about your lame insecurities and delusions of grandeur

the people i think dress the best do it because they genuinely love clothes and being well-dressed, not because they follow some formula on how to be fashionable or "authentic"

no one gives a fuck about your opinion

>>10134943
certain fashion is definitely white only, and the industry is white dominated, only talented designers are white.

japanese, white europeans and certain caucasian arabs are the only races that possess the qualities necessary to be truly fashionable.

blacks and shitskins can never ever be fashionable, because they cant into austerity, subtlety, beauty, humility or sincerity - they lack all the basic ingredients necessary to be fashionable.

>>10134972
>no one cares about your opinion
>here is my opinion

I will be sure broaden my disclaimer that it is likely you will be triggered while reading

>>10134987
Do you have any suggestions on topics to add that I can elaborate upon?

>>10134989
ofc i'm gonna disagree and it's going to be my opinion, but i'm not the one with the ego to get on trip start a new thread with my opinions

it sounds to me like you're 6'1" and you bought an OG lang piece off grailed and now you feel you can talk down to the rest of /fa/, who you think is just teenagers in sk8-his

>>10134865
>>>10134861 (OP)
>If you are unable to look at two paintings and say which one is better, and why
This is something I've always struggled to do, yet I've been studying art history for 4 years now(based Italian school), albeit I've never studied Greek and Roman art in depth thanks to the stupid professor I had in year one

Anything I can read/watch to improve this?

>>10135003
Ew. I have no interest in buying used designer clothing - unless I absolutely knew I could flip it to some fuccboi. My original picture was only posted because it's masculine - something extremely lacking on this board. (masculinity)

>>10135009
To an extent it does come down to opinion and personal taste, but you have education behind it, so you are capable of making an educated assessment of the two or that is the goal.

You should be able to see if one piece has more technical prowess than the other. If it's a situation where one piece is post-modern and for some wild reason you need to compare it to realism - you would want to take into consideration which individual behind the piece was more knowledgeable and things of that nature. (this is really where you've got to set aside the hugbox / gold star / don't compare art mentality)

Another thing you need is to have confidence in yourself, your taste, and your ability to make an educated assessment and stand behind - all the while be open to new ideas and don't be scared to broaden your own

So much more could be said - this is hardly a start

>>10135012
Yes nothing says masculine like a see through tanktop. Take pigfucks cock out of your mouth.

>>10135012
you sound like you have the worst possible personality

what are your credentials that might convince me to take your style opinions seriously

>>10135028
I am open to what you consider masculine, because it's a tricky subject to address, and seems to be a philosophy that is disappearing with feminism dictating too much in culture.

Please share something with me you consider masculine

If you know so much, why don't you just fuck off to SuFu or someplace else, you fucking egocentric faggot.

>>10135046
because he'd need to post fits to be taken seriously at SuFu, and he doesn't have good fits

so he's like the rest of /fa/ - a big talker with nothing to back it up

>>10135030
Many people would agree with you. I am without any doubt mostly a shell - having to strip myself of many aspects of my personality / giving up what I enjoy in order to be able to move forward with my life and push through difficult situations. However, in doing so it builds, "character" - you achieve wisdom and life experience, and it allows you to be an outsider looking in, especially in situations where I am trying to present many lost / troubled souls / those seeking identity a manifesto

It's too easy to scoff over degrees and certifications, so I won't bother listing them. Sometimes you have to trust others

>>10135050
Cool story bro post a fit

>>10135046
It can be difficult to be presented with challenging information. It requires the reader to set aside insecurities and biases.

Posting pictures of myself would add another potential layer of bias and hinder this information reaching the potential reader

I do not have adequate equipment to take pictures of what I wear at the moment

>>10135050
dude, "talk shit post fit" is rule #1 of internet fashion

if you want your style advice to be taken seriously you'd better prove it's coming from a credible source, otherwise you're just shouting your opinions at people that are on the same level as you

>>10135057
So you're too poor and insecure to post a fit. Noted.

Cringe thread? I think so

>>10135061
I can only trust that an individual that is truly serious about their endeavor into fashion heed the words being presented to them

At times the most life quote can be from an unknown source, but it's value is immense nonetheless

I am aware of how this board works. Regardless of what is posted, regardless of how groundbreaking, or well-executed it is - individuals will speak ill of it, especially considering everything that has happened up to this point.

I do not have adequate equipment to take pictures of myself

>>10135071
>At times the most life-changing quote can be from an unknown source

>>10134861

>>10134861
because it fills the empty void inside of me and helps me overcome otherwise present shortcomings
it's also pretty nice to be judged positively,we're social and tribal animals anon,we look forward upon approval and tend to stick upon other people we find common ground in

>>10134998
i just read through all of it and i agree with most of it, idk about limiting it based on height though, not everyone is a model but that doesnt mean they cant be fashionable; look at yohji for example, hes always demure and well dressed and hes like 5'5.

>>10134865
>* Health > skeleton/overweight
>If you think being anorexic is fashionable, quit fashion. If you think being underweight causes you to be a better "coathanger" for clothes, quit fashion.

this is very important though, 100% agree. i would also expand on this and add that its not just about being healthy, if you're a male being healthy isnt enough, you have to be capable of being a man.

so many young cucks on here are not only emaciated but they're estrogenised and soft and gyno looking, not entirely their fault given the current state of western society, but they need to take steps to rectify this.

also i would add a section on politics, if you want to be a well rounded human being - which is what fashion is about imo - you cant be a liberal cuckold or an apolitical normie, too much is at stake (hint the future of the white race) for people to be fucking around with frivolities.

>>10135088
Are you able to address this, "void"? Are you able to do something about these, "shortcomings"? You don't have to actually post answers, but have you taken the time in a safe environment where you are alone to try and ascertain these issues?

Some form of validation is important for positive mental health, of course. I agree. Otherwise it can be damaging and emotionally-isolating to the person - sorry that's a little redundant I realize.

Oh good another pigfuck type, at least you're a little more eloquent. Fashion can be for fun so chill out, end of story. If what other people spend their time doing offends you then go outside less, you don't gotta act like this.

I think that bicycles are /fa/ because it keeps you fit and they can be stylish in an urban enivronment.

>>10135091
>trying to mold people into your ideal shape and thinking that it would magically work out for the best

i have that mentality too anon,looking down on people for being degenerates,libs,spicks,nigs and everything in between.all because i think they're ruining mankind but i learn to not give a fuck about it since it doesn't matter to me after i die,why should i give a damn about what happens to the future of my kids or race after i go on to the afterlife or whatever void that exist.try finding peace on yourself by knowing that you're a superior white aryan ubermensch or shit instead off trying to force people being what they aren't

i havent read literally any of the posts in this thread because i know how bad they are without reading them

#psychic

>>10135095
>safe space
is /fa/ some sort of pseudo-tumblr now bitch ass nigger?
well i'll observe the goddamn decency and explain anyway,the void i have is the leftover from my crappy teenage year where i was ostracized from my peers because i was an unstable hormone addle teen which creates a negative image on me,and my shortcomings is the feeling of insecurity because of my lack of friend and attention,so i try to compensate by dressing up nicely,when they see me eating alone in a table,they don't perceive me as a creepy loner,they see me as a mysterious quiet guy now
or atleast that's how i think of it

>>10135104
>>10135098
see
>>10134965

particularly the first sentence

I am not coming out of nowhere with this sentiment - this is something that comes up over and over, and it has for years. This is a topic that comes up daily.

I am willing to take on the task of putting an answer to this question in writing, to be referenced

Despite the criticism, I will work on it further. If it is not a resource for you, then don't use it and move forward

-

>>10134965
Iris Apfel, an actual style and fashion icon, is an 80+ year old traditionally unattractive woman. Fashion has nothing to do with bodily appearance, but most people lack any sense of style, or confidence in what they present themselves as, that's really the biggest issue.

>>10135056
underated post

>>10135113
You may want to look up, "maslow's hierarchy of needs" or at least understand the idea

If you do not have shelter, if you are not well fed, if you are not well-rested, if you are not SAFE - then your mind cannot move forward because it needs to make sure these needs are addressed. This is not pseudo-science I am presenting to you out of nowhere.

In my educated opinion, it sounds like you need to let go of the past, and look forward to creating a new life for yourself. Being a teenager is difficult. Obviously it is more difficult for some than it is others, but you have to let that go and become the person you want to be

If you know what it's like to be treated poorly, be sure to be considerate of others and don't be ill to them yourself. People notice that you make an effort to do this, and they will respect for you it

>>10135114
Do you not see the implicit insecurity presented by any need to put down people based on self-affirmed rules and guidelines? You're basically just deciding that your mindset is perfect without really presenting evidence as to why the opposing side has an invalid point.

>>10135070
winner

>>10135091
Okay, duly noted regarding height - will think of how to present that notion in a new way

That will of course take some serious explaining in regards to manlets, but I'm willing to take on that task

-

I'm also going to have to explain thoroughly how to lose fat and how to build some muscle mass but I'm willing to do that too.

-

Ultimately, it seems like you can only encourage someone to look toward, or try to discover for themselves what it means to be a man - if only it were so simple as spelling it out.

-

As for the last sentiment, I'll really have to give some thought on how to address that topic

>>10135122
>maslow hierarchy
i tick all the boxes except for self actualization
>let go of the past
the past dictates too much of my life and even now my earliest decision i've conciously made still affect me today it's not like you can walk away from or close my eyes nigga
>>10135122
it's not about me being treated poorly,i was a fool during my past years,it's that i don't want to recreate past stigmas on me based on my appearance and attitude

>>10135123
Did you not read the post you are replying to at all?

My goal here is to put the "catch-all" idea of being, "fashionable" into writing to be used as a reference. Said idea of being "fashionable" is what this board is ultimately striving toward.

If this is not a resource that would be of use to you, then move along.

However, I respect and appreciate you are taking the time to provide feedback and I hope I am providing you with an understanding of what I am trying to accomplish here

>>10135104
>hedonism
yeh i used to be resigned to that attitude as well

>"oh well we can never win so lets just have fun! after we're dead who cares :)"

but that was a long time ago when i was still young and ignorant.

the world will continue after your death, you're the product of thousands of years of consecutive breeding, to think the world ends with you is pure narcissism; i have empathy for my people, my potential children and their children and their children's children and so on.

if one possesses knowledge of evil and wrongdoing, and conspiracy and desire to do harm; if you're aware that machiavellian external forces are harming you, harming your folk, have the potential to harm you etc. dont you feel compelled to do something, anything in your power to help rectify and remedy the situation, even if it is only on a minute scale?

the only constant in history is change, the pendulum swings back and forth and it is an inevitability. to hold the belief that the battle ahead is unwinnable or that the current hegemony can not be overthrown is absurd, total domination and monopoly is simply untenable, it can not be sustained, it is not a question of if but when, everything we do to contribute to that is important and vital.

the NSDAP started with less than 10 people.

>>>/r/TheRedPill

>>10135129
well on the topic of muscle mass and height,could you actually post an actual pic of yourself rather then leaving us in the vogue on how you look like,since i'm not really having a positive image on you right now

>>10135130
You don't have to wipe your past from your memory. You're right - it is a large part of who you are today. Don't be scared to think about your past for a little bit, but after that... you need to keep looking forward, which is again some advice I want to restate to you. Look to your future and keep in sight what is ahead of you moreso than what is behind you and existing mostly only in your brain

Other than that, I suggest seeking a well-reputed counselor in your area and not trying to fight with them and being very open to any advice they may have for you - considering they are qualified to give it

However, my personal advice and educated assessment I can assure you has a foundation in complete sincerity and compassion

>>10135132
I think in the discussion of fashion it's more important to throw away the idea people have that style is reliant on some outside force or influence, or even that a certain political view, activity or lifestyle choice is in any way related to fashion at a pure level (I.E all the is ____ /fa/ threads).

Fashion is first and foremost dictated by clothing, being fashionable is linked to nothing more than a person's individual sense of cuts, colours, fabrics and composition, everything else is not fashion, it is culture. This is think is the problem with modern fashion discussion, and is why people here seem so obsessed and insecure about the hobby.

>hedonism
i'm not self-absorbed or ignorant towards everyone else,generally my views are conservative and i think of my action of people
also i wouldn't bother myself thinking about the implicit impact i make in my choices,especially if it's posting wall of texts on a christian righteous imageboards like this and trying to think that people would actually just change on the fly to your whim because you said so

>>10135137
I am 6' and 147lbs as of this morning. I am less than 12% body fat as suggest by visible abdominal muscles

I am not able to take a picture of myself right now. If it means so much to the board, I will do so in the near future as soon as I can, and I will do so in the highest possible quality I can provide.

>>10135151

>>10135133
also you want me to emulate Hitler or shit?
that nigger asked his generals to attack Kursk,the most fortified defensive line ever with a force three times as small,ignoring the key fundamental which state that an attacking force must be atleast three times larger then the defending side and also putting emphasis on blitzkrieg tactic succeeding while failing to observe that his forces lacks the element of immediate superiority by destroying soviet airfields and also making his enemy know where exactly he wants to attack them

>>10135151
Why do you try so hard to sound like a psuedo intellectual even when talking about your heigjt and weight. You're trying too hard and it's pretty embarssing, nobody in this thread takes you seriously.

Lord almighty this is more cringey than most cringe threads. You're trying waaaay too hard, your authorial voice is like nails on a chalk board.

The shit you spout sounds like exactly the kind of uninspired drivel that stifles creativity and keeps fashion in a boring, contrived state rather than an active and pleasurable endeavor open to those who wish to seek it.

>>10135151
shit nigger don't tell me you afraid of people actually judging you here,it's okay we'll just say the positive things and keep criticism on ourselves to not offend you

And in contrast to that, I would say you are wearing a costume. You are dressing the part of a lifestyle you are not affiliated with.

I appreciate and respect your feedback, though. However, we both are clearly on opposite ends of the spectrum and I don't see the point of arguing.

The second part of what you said touches more on a person's eye for detail and aesthetic - knowledge in the application of fashion design.

I understand what you are trying to say.

I will say this as many times as I need to...
I am simply trying to put into words this board's "catch-all" idea of being "fashionable" as a resource for an identity-seeking generation that spend too much time on the computer

>>10135132
Oh my god,
this is a stupid anime imageboard that just so happens to have a "fashun" section.
What did you expect? Fucking fashion students discussing the influence of ww2 on Belgium fashion? Please.
Clueless teenagers come here for shits and giggles (and I'm talking about the site in general, not only /fa/), and every now and then fashion also gets a decent discussion.
What you just did is the same as going on /sp/ (or any other "funposting" board for that matter) and start attacking them for not having a 100% serious, 100% sports related discussion.

This whole thread is useless and so is your "manifesto" (well, you did practice typewriting a bit so I guess that's a plus).

>holier than thou attitude
>won't post a fit or show face

Atleast pigfuck did both. You got not credit to your name. Who knows you could be a 5 foot 2 Indonesian and still claim that you're 6 foot.

>>10135166
Wait so are you commenting on the board culture and attempting to understand the mindset of its residents or are you criticising it for a mislead mindset and presenting your own voice? It's kinda hard to tell it feels like a mix of both.

For the record I adore the idea of people actually documenting the aspects of culture that have influenced this hellhole of discussion, even if ultimately treating it as some valid force in the fashion world is a wasted effort.

>>10135171
>yes but it's the message that counts

>>10135149
of course, but its all relative my friend, online slacktivism may - initially - appear to be irrelevant, pointless, ineffectual etc. but there is a lot of research, plus observable evidence, to suggest otherwise.

no one is going to suggest that they're changing the world by posting comments online, but the internet is at the very forefront of the current culture war, and that culture war is an extension, or layer, of an expansive multifaceted war for control of your mind.

its multidimensional warfare, and the fifth dimension is information, the internet is the nucleus of it.

that is why there are countless government and NGO institutions who employ thousands of people to post and spread propaganda, disseminate opinions, stifle and discredit discussions, control forums etc. it is why the US government just invested millions of dollars into weaponised ironic twitter accounts to satirise and wage war with the conservative ironic twittersphere.

just like the war is multidimensional and taking place in the physical an immaterial realms, so should you as a person pursue your goals in both spheres. lift weights, arm yourself, prepare in the physical realm, and then do what you can online.

not everyone is adolf hitler or otoya yamaguchi,(gif related) but all actions require reaction, no matter their size and scope.

>>10135187
yeah
but you're aiming at /fa/
most people here would outright mock you for trying to deviate us into some sort of intellectually stimulating conversation
try going to somewhere where it actually matters,like leddit or tumblr

>>10135178
When people inquire about being, "fashionable" on this board, or want to know how to take their endeavor into fashion further - it's often buried under "funposting" as someone else called it.

Sometimes, you see individuals wondering where else they can go to learn more about this, but often they find themselves stuck here - waiting for that 1 in 1000 post that has information valuable to them.

I am documenting, from a bird's eye view, what the culture of this board ultimately perceives as "fashionable", and how to attain it.

This is a work in progress.

So far, posters have helped me realize I was very aggressive to the point that it is damaging to what I am trying to accomplish, so I will make changes accordingly, or I will have an "easy mode", "hard mode" and "final frontier" mode or something of that nature.

I know I promised 2.5 hours, but I'm going to go ahead and wrap it up a little early.

I will try to return around the same time tomorrow.

Are you avoiding the confrontation here????

>>10135158
hitler was obviously a better politician than he was a military strategist, when i mentioned him i was talking about his rise to power, and how unlikely it must have first seemed, poiint was that individuals can and do make a difference in history, everything you do creates a ripple.

if otoya yamaguchi hadnt killed the commie fuck in the gif above, japan would have likely become a communist nation, imagine that? how different is the world now as a result one man's actions?

>>10135201
Okay, sounds like a great idea. Assuming you can write elegantly enough I'd love to read a well formatted report on the subject by the end, instead of a sporadic series of paragraph long posts.

Fashion to me is just another creative outlet, for me.

It's an art to me in the same way that photography is.

>>10135194
/fa/ is as good a place as any: young, predominantly white male userbase, impressionable, many looking to define and curate a sense of self.

/fa/ is noticeably more reactionary and conservative than when i first started posting in 2013, i like to think i contributed to that, and i've had quite a few people contact me and express that their views have been changed or ive caused them to question things/begin the process of investigation.

I'm not a manlet, I do art and study a field of design. Am I allowed to be interested in fashion?

And while we're at it, can you sick my dick?

>>10135209

there's alot more to Japan being a commie nation it rather then a single definitive point in time.You're rationalization is pretty weak and your choice in individuals to be examples as are pathetic

I agree with everything here except for the stupid height manlet may-may which makes me wonder if this whole list isn't a joke and maybe i'm the butt of a clever ruse.

to reply to what I see as your most valid point,
clothes are NOT your identity.

the point however is that because I have an identity, I don't want to misrepresent it. I want to appear a certain way not because I'm trying to "trick" anyone, but because I want to be able to fluidly act as myself, and behave as myself. in other words, the correct clothing "disappears" because it is so "one" with your presentation of your true personality. Would you feel ridiculous wearing a clown wig to work? probably. people would ask, "why are you wearing that"? The same goes for any piece of ANYTHING that "does not connect" with how you see yourself. I saw a man in boston wearing a fucking squirrel costume. I approached him in disbelief, and I was in even MORE disbelief after our conversation. because he fucking OWNED it. he travels the world apparently taking photographs, some french guy. But at no point did he "break character" with himself WEARING the squirrel costume, it effectively "was" him, and because of that, he epitomizes what I believe to be at the core of the concept of "fashion"
