/fa/ - Fashion

i just want it all to end

it's pretty great tbh

im a handsome boi in very appealing garments with a flowering eye for aesthetics~

i've destroyed all my memories and debilitating starry-eyed outlook on life and now i'm not sure what i want out of life anymore. i lose track of what's happening like every hour. how i get through everyday is a mystery.

as for fashion, i think your clothing represents the aesthetics you've loved in the moment. fashion cycles are cyclical anyway, and i think it'll be timeless and interesting to see where your clothes will hold up.

>>8001691
im here for you asok

not being on the internet is /fa/

>>8001683
Clothes aren't life, they're here for you to wear in the real life, not in front of your computer.
Past the need to protect yourself from weather, they have different meanings for different people, to be part of a group for example.
Trends are dumb, they're just marketing. That's why I have a pretty "minimalist" style. Go outside and do something m8.

I have a (hopefully) unique idea for a telecommunications company that I am going to try and patent once I get the money, then find an investor and go to moon.

>money is /fa/ right?

>>8001815
Money is /fa/ if you have something to do with it. Some lonely guy with money isn't happier than before. Of course he can buy things but.. Going on the moon is quite cool though.

>>8001821
>implying financial security isn't /fa/
>implying being lonely isn't /fa/
it's more /fa/ than forcibly surrounding yourself with 'friends'

>>8001826
I'm not talking about the other extreme dude. Being very lonely or with lots of false friends is basically the same.

>>8001837
>implying lonely fags can make true friends

>>8001843
They can. I know I did. From being the "new kid" in a little village to having a little group of friends who know each other for more than 10 years.

>>8001849
you had 10 years m8 also young

>>8001853
From primary school to uni is quite long, most people change their "friends" each year or two.

Financial security is something a lot of people take for granted, especially those who live off their parents.

>abandoning your obviously dependent family

dam what a hero lol

been unemployed for 5 months, doing nothing currently, i've gotten so innert i can't force myself to do anything

It feels good to be dressed in clothes you like, it also feels good to be complimented on your clothes. That's it.

I'm not, I don't mind. I really just want an apartment that i can chill in, that's it. Grades could be better but eh.

Friends are ok, they drink, do drugs, but talk abot life aspirations afterwards which just drones on, most of them are splitting away to focus on that. I really just want the simple things, can't complain.

>18, still in school
>Dad threw me out because I wasn't treating him and the stepmother and halfsister as a family
>Live alone, eating only fruits, vegetables and protein shakes
>Can't motivate myself to make a move on my crush
>Continue to build a connection to her, while I don't feel like anybody of my friends is worth my time
>Hang around them anyway, not drinking, not smoking (trying to be healthy)
>Always fighting them when they're drunk or participate when sb does sth crazy because he drank too much
>I just want to experience sth and not feel so numb all the time

Going to move back to France and study fashion when I finish school

>>8001683

It's going well for me I guess, been improving my skin/physique little by little (got a haircut which suits my face shape better etc.)

end game is Wall Street but for now I'll just settle with a state college and hope I can make connections.

Going sweet

>22, young and carefree
>have saved up a fare amount of money and get student welfare
>in no hurry to finish my uni course, uni life is actually chill as fuck
>about to go on exchange to Japan for a semester then probably stay there and travel
>got a pretty good scholarship from the govt for said exchange so that covered accomm and flights and then some
>loving family, awesome friends

Only bad points are:
>never had a gf (could change in Japan, got a qt who I met on a working holiday and went on a couple of dates with, waiting for me in Tokyo)
>the family dog of 13 years had to be put down yesterday - was old and had started to piss and shit everywhere without realising it. Cried like a lil' bitch

Other than that, I am blessed with a very fortunate life. I do my best to never forget that

>>8002658
it's good that you're moving somewhere from your previous situation
find new people to talk to and stay happy

>>8002658
>going to move back to france and study fashion

no you wont. do you have any experience sewing? sketching clothes? have you begun to build a portfolio? where do you expect to get the huge amount of money needed to attend a fashion school?

youre just an edgy tumblr kid.

>>8005376
dont be so negative man

everyone has to start somewhere, at least he's following a dream

i mean maybe you might not have a portfolio yet but hey, you take some more general classes first and then you can move on up, learn the basic techniques

or at least thats how it is where im from, maybe its different in france

point is dont shoot down someones dreams, i think studying fashion is very achievable

you might not make a lot of money from it, or be able to attend the most prestigious schools or anything (esp with no previous experience) but if you really love fashion then you should try your best anyway

because itll make you feel fulfilled and all that

>studying physics at uni
>constant issues with depression, never really bad enough to seek professional help
>no friends at all, or even acquaintances, never do anything except browsing 4chan, drawing and playing guitar
>go to bed early, and stay in bed till late afternoon, because nothing to do, stay 20 hours in bed on weekends.
>haven't left my apartment for anything else but uni for almost two years now

living the life

>projecting

yeah i don't know i've been sort of rethinking the whole /fa/ thing and what it means to me personally

i mean sort of the mantra here is "fuck being fashionable for someone else, if you're not a pleb than you don't need anyone's approval" but I see people (even people who I feel have good taste) posting such timid shit and just wasting their fucking money because they're afraid of people calling them out or mocking them

and for a long time I thought that was just hivemind culture or whatever but it's pretty hard to justify being /fa/ just for myself when I could use the money it takes to buy clothes in ways that are pretty inarguably better morally, like, I don't know, giving to oxfam or something -- I mean I go out of my way to reuse stuff and not buy shit that I don't need in my everyday life, so it seems tough to reconcile that with spending a lot of my budget on weird clothes that most people don't appreciate

like not to get TOO personal but this is something I've been wrangling with in my art too -- like we take it for granted that it's good to be "individual" but isn't it kind of solipsistic (i don't want to say masturbatory which feels more buzzwordy, but in that vein) to make something JUST for yourself? Like maybe this is just another form of narcissism but I feel like I could do something with my life that elevates or enriches at least some subset of people in ways I've left totally unexplored

So yeah what that amounts to now is that I've been selling some of my old clothes and working out a bit more, I'm at least trying to get around the received mass-culture paradigm of "not giving a fuck" which seems increasingly to me less like an actual countercultural mode and more like just another excuse to pursue consumerism/instant gratification

sorry for the blog post

>>8005522
i really appreciate a lot of what youre saying

its all about dividing whatever you have in a way that feels the best to you personally

i feel like the best thing is to try to balance it

like, dont get so wrapped up in yourself that you isolate others and become a narcissistic asshole

but also learn to appreciate yourself

theres always something morally better that you can do at any given time, but sometimes those things just dont happen. it isnt a big thing, it's just that no one is selfless all the time

im sure even mother teresa sometimes just liked to kick it and do something for herself, it's just human

but yeah a lot of people just say that they dont give a fuck and dont dress for anyone else

wanting to impress others is just a human thing too, it's gratifying for us all to be noticed on some level - especially something we spend lots of time/effort/money on

now im just blogging though so ill stop

but yeah good thoughts, gave me something to think about

I'm handsome, but poor and rather listless. I find it hard to find motivation to do things while in my home-city, and am generally neurotic, especially on the topics of education, love, and death. Though I work a cafe job, and occasional landscaping and carpentry work, pull in revenue from locally distributed writing publications - I have no savings. My money falls away, eaten by an inability to covet it worth a damn.

So we'll see I guess.

i play in a new wave band and plan to teach english to migrants

but i just help out with functions and play a lot of videogames atm

: \

im a fat guy working night shift spending all his money on clothes i like and masturbating whilst high all the time
i guess my life isnt /fa/ at all
i can draw clothes tho

>>8001683
