There's nothing boring about based Thom Browne
I'm all about that Hedi life though

Thom Browne, Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent, Jil Sander or Valentino. If I wanted to dress comfortcore then it'd be Yohji no question.

>>9956978
I was a big fan of Neil Barett and Dries Van Noten a few years ago, but both of them have become a bit stale and dropped off the radar.
Some cool stuff from DvN with the Richard Haines collab, but it's just not as good as other designers imo

USUALLY WHAT IM DRESSED IN

Thomy b is far from boring his stuff provides a nice twist on the classic suit and he does a lot of fun things as well.

Thom Browne or Hedi would be my choice, but I think I'd be more inclined to go with Hedi as he has more options for both casual and formal. While Thom does have casual stuff I'd still feel overdressed a lot of the time.

what do you wear tough man?

Holy shit loving the taste in this thread. This thread unironically restores my faith in /fa/

realistically adidas or patagonia because they make a lot of practical shit
but thom browne or apc for me
>plot twist: grailed or ebay

Designer: Ghesquière-era Balenciaga or Jil Sander
Contemporary: James Perse
Mall: Wilfred

Rick. It ages so well and stays pertinent for almost all age groups. I honestly think it looks better the older you get. I cant wait to be an old man walking around whilst decked out in Rick

Also life goals is to have a family as cute as this. Oh and if I remember correctly /fa/cist you knew the people in pic related. Care to tell us a little bit about them?

prada or y-3

margiela or Jil sander
I love hedi, but heroin chic is a very youthful look. as soon as you start losing your hair you'll look like the old guy desperately clinging onto to youth

>>9957323
That wasn't funny at all...

>>9957153
James Perse is embarrassingly marked up
my professor always speaks on how he can get the same cotton jersey, sewn in the same style, and sell it for a decent margin at around $35-40

Rei Kawakubo
or
Miuccia Prada

Prada. They have decent formalwear, casualwear and even active/sportswear. Footwear and accessories are nice too.

It was funny for me but I guess it wouldn't be if you were waiting for a punchline.

Daiki Suzuki's Engineered Garments for sure.

I'd like my pants slightly longer in the inseam but, it's a small sacrifice to make for the based as fuck everything that is his work.

Number (n) or Undercoverism

Daniel patrick maybe or saint laurent. John elliot or Alex Wang if i want to play it safe

>>9957511
>Alex Wang if i want to play it safe
Why? There are so many better choices if you just want to dress basic.

>>9957511
>Daniel Patrick
Hahaah holy shit. You would wear shitty ripped off overpriced shit for the rest of your life?
>SLP
Good luck trying to have a profession or getting anyone to take you seriously in your girly heels and jeans

Overall you seem like a pile of trash with absolutely no taste. So I would suggest never posting here again.

>>9956567
Assuming funds is not an issue here, i'm happy to stick with peir wu atm which translates quite well for business type attire more or less. Ute ploier and ethosens would've worked in nice too

In terms of practicallity, maybe margiela but tbh i don't care much for the label ever since martin left

>>9957456
I love LUC but can't see many items which can translate well into a more "business formal" type setting. Its been a problem ever since i started doing work experience, even with luca's more "plain" looking pieces

>>9957535
I forgot to mention Balmain aswell. Nothing is wrong with Daniel P you cuck.

>>9957594
Yeah it's pretty hard to make even a slightly formal look with such heavily distressed and deconstructed pieces.Also since a vast majority of what Luca does are knits you would be fairly constricted in that sense as well.

I think MA+ or Carpe would fit into a fairly similar aesthetic while providing more formal and work friendly choices.

Big fan of the Thom Browne x Brooks Brothers collection, own a pair of sports coats and some ties.

>>9957608
Is this bait? Am I being Punkd? Ashton you can come out now. Bud this is literally laughably bad, shirt doesn't fit and looks shapeless, disgusting tryhard harem pants, edgy lost soul denim head model. Yep that just about covers it this brand is absolute shit. I've owned shit from this brand and the jersey they used on my sweater was comparable to something I could find at Walmart.

>I forgot to mention Balmain aswell
And so it all comes together

>>9957586
yo when i went to london i hung out with peir wu it was p cool

>>9957635
Damn really? Please elaborate, there isn't to much out there about her.

>>9957643
Yeah so I studied abroad over the summer in sussex and had been a real fan of her work. I knew she was based in london and I shot her an email saying i was a huge fan and that i'd love to check out her studio if she let me. And so she let me and I hungout at her place and saw all the garments for S/S2014 and F/W 14-15. Her assistant (who was decked out in Paul Harnden) was there too and his art friend from Berlin. We all got drinks. They are all such nice people and it was such an amazing experience vvv thankful for it

>>9957220
implying you won't kill yourself as soon as you turn 35

>>9957594
>>9957611

You both need to look deeper into collections. LUC also does insanely nice suiting and formal wear, usually out of crazy rare fabrics. Not everything they do have the 'over dyed in a mud puddle' feel, and the majority of collections are very clean. The object dyed stuff is the bread and butter product that brings in the victim cash flow.

Ma+ is very nice, but check out taichi murikami, his pattern makers line. The product is very subtle but intensely beautiful in detail. H Lorenzo did a nice presentation on him in their features

>>9957608
Everything is wrong with daniel P, conceptually.

The excess of fabric look can be traced from royalty to even american gangsters and their zoot suits. In the 30's depression era, fabric, especially luxury fabrics, were insanely rare and expensive. So gangsters started having suits made from massive amounts of fabric to show off how much they can afford. The same can be applied to lines like rick Owens. The drapey-vibe is a way to display how much luxury material you can afford or wear. With Daniel Patrick, its cheaply milled garbage cotton/jersey knit. And that's it. No blends, no cashmere or silk. Just cheap and thin jersey cotton. Its conceptual garbage.

People who wear Daniel Patrick are LITERALLY posers.

Source: I know Daniel, have owned tons of his shit (was given for free to promote his line), and have concluded that his shit is garbage.

in an ideal world with full access to archive pieces then it has to be helmut, margiela or possibly even junya. helmut is a fail-safe answer though

other contenders are

lanvin

dries van noten

Sometimes I lose hope in /fa/ and then threads and posts like these make me so happy. Thanks guys for making a very nice thread.

takahiromiyashita the soloist probs

Ralph Lauren tbh

Although it isnt too extravagant, I would prob choose Our Legacy. Love the simplicity and quality of all their clothing.

>Ctrl f
>no lang

OG lang, nothing even comes close

>>9957731
I agree. I love all the OG lang I've handled. I think in terms of wearing a closet completely comprised of one designer I would stick with Lang and even Raf. I think labels like LUC and Carpe are probably the right answers, but I don't particularly love all those garments. Artisanal stuff is great but it really requires a particular kind of consumer.

>>9957716
I love soloist, but man that would be hard to wear in just a normal context.

I think Stephan Schneider would also be a good fairly conservative choice. The knits are quite beautiful and all of the suiting options and just regular garment options would translate well into pure wearability.

>>9957767
i agree

carpe, poell, deepti all have clothes and collections that are exciting artistically and technically
early kawakubo and yohji dealt with concepts that delighted me
but helmut was about clothes for the body and clothes for everyday life. they were hardy, functional, durable and comfortable with uncompromising choices in fabrics that were always amazing to wear and feel. i suppose you could say this about a lot of ready-to-wear lines these days but hl will always feel uniquely hl.

Ralph Lauren

fuck being poor ;_;

>>9957787
yeah, I wanna be an urban apocalyptic cowboy tho

>>9957809
go thifting

tons of cheap polo stuff

>>9957799
The Deepti stuff I've seen at Hlorenzo is amazing. Especially all the garments that use silver. Such beautiful stuff.

In an ideal world I'd have a CCP overlock coat and Jeans. The Tornado zip boots I used to own were great too. Made of absolutely superb leather.

Commes and Yohji are solid choices too, but the silhouettes don't complement my body type to the point where I'd want a closet soley made of those pieces.

Its pretty trite to say, but Lang is amazing. I've never felt a closer tie with a garment then with Lang garments. Perfectly made, subversive when you want it to be, but can be worn in every environment or situation.

Yohji, formalities and lounge mastered.

>>9957825
I FEEL U MAN. Whenever I see Soloist lookbooks I love it. Stephan Mann and t3sJelly style Soloist and N(n) in such a compelling way too.

There is such a great attitude with Miyashita's design style. Also I really like some of the Cody Sanderson jewelry too

according to the archive, bateman first posted on may 13th

>>9957688
>>9957688
Agreed, i actually have a very clean/basic jacket from luca which fits in what can be described as formal.

The thing is it fits slightly longer on my body while perfectly fitting arm length wise, so it throws out a fit if i were to wear it like a regular formal type jacket cz imo it needs something abit "more" to match it for pants. Doable with regular wool pants, but not "great" if you get what i mean. Also, as far as i know those kind of things are far and few in between, meaning copping will be tricky to do if you wanna exclusively dress in his things. Maybe i'm reading too much into this.

Have also been considering a lumen et umbra cotton wool blazer + linen cotton pants for a while now

I've seen taichi's stuff for sale occasionally on auction sites, very nice from what i can see. Don't recall if it was subtle but quality wise they looked great.

>>9957660
Goshdamn lucky bastard

Out of interest, what do you do proffesionally?

>>9958008
Currently, I am just a student studying Molecular biology and Asian Lit. Hopefully I'll be attending medical school, but we'll see how that all pans out!

It really was such an amazing experience, and Peir Wu was so friendly. I just wish I had the money to buy her garments

>>9958015
Same. Kicking myself i disn't autocop her biker bomber and matching pants on grailed a while ago. Had the funds, couldn't fully justify copping but regret once i saw it sold :(

>>9958019
DUDEEE so I agree im a fuckin dongle for not buying it when it was like 300 on grailed. Seriously though, the fabric was gorgeous when I handled it, there are these beautiful hints of plum and subtle yellows too. Its so gorgeous. Her blazers are great too, I want to cop the deconstructed pocket one on suspension point after I sell a few garments to raise the cash

pic related is another really cool peir wu garment on grailed, but in a 50 :(

I used to like Thom Browne but imo he's too much into trends.

>>9957190
that's very true

>>9957726
this tbh

>>9956567
>>one designer
>>everyone including OP mentions several
lol

>>9956567
Lanvin. Streetwear stuff, casual stuff, business stuff, formal stuff. Plus the fabrics feel great.

stephan schneider probably

of my favourite designers he has the most range (though I dont have any of his suiting but one can assume)

best season coming through btw

Primark tbh

>>9957026
>dries
>stale
>this is what retards think

look at fw14, now look at ss15, if you're not a total retard you will realise they're very different

as someone who has handled most of it all, it differs even more in person

and dropped of the radar? idk about Barett but I think dries is more relevant and doing better business-wise than ever, tons of stockists both on and offline, seems like the number grows every season and it's still selling very well, tons of stuff sold out in most sizes way before sales even hit

honestly lots of his stuff are things that has to be appreciated in person though, many things i'm not a fan of when seen online are instacop worthy irl

>>9957930
idk what periods he has posted during, but he was posting(yes, same guy it's very obvious) when I first visited way back, not a newfag

probably zara

>>9957715
there are actually lots of good posters, unfortunately newfags with 0 knowledge and lacking any interest drowns out those posters way too often

>>9957726
don't buy much OL anymore but what I have gets worn a ton, usually good fabrics

A.P.C

>>9958035
The deconstructed pocket blazer is cool but i was surprised by how thin it is, definitely a neat touch but totally not what i'd expect from a blazer

Schneider

>>9958482
That and the fact that many of good posters can't find the motivation to post here when a majority of the posters have no idea what they are even talking about.

>>9958524
You are trash.

Versace

>>9958565

Tinker Hatfield. There, I said it!

>>9959354
yeah and that's very understandable

seems to me like lots of anons only ever make really useful posts and engage themselves when someone who knows jack shit critiscises something or some designer they care about/are interested in

pf is a prime example, most of the time it's simply shitposting but occasionally he makes top notch posts, mostly related to old raf and HL

>>9958035
Are you in LA?

D-do we know each other?

>>9959787
When you shit constantly you're bound to shit out something good at least once
That's pretty much Patrick Bateman's modus operandi

>>9958537
See, thats why I want it. That collection had a lot of really technical fabrics that seemed like a really unique modern take on menswear staples.

>>9961351
I'm not sure if you would remember me, but I've stopped by the store a few times. I came in with my ex and bought a pair of Raf pants. You liked my rick blazer and showed me some of the deepti stuff! Very much appreciate you at hlorenzo man, you make the garments there so much more engaging and the experience better. Not sure if you guys take on interns but it would be so fun to engage in someway with the store!

>>9956567
gap

>>9957190
I think it sort of gets a bit childish and out if place as you age. But then it becomes fashionable again as you get even older in the sense of being a cool elderly man. That's the dream /fa/. :(

Thank you man, its always great to get good feedback. I meet a lot of people, but I think I remember you!

Add me on skype and we can talk. May need someone part time over the summer.

uni qlo because poorfag

>>9961438
I think with Ricks more formal wear (austaire pants, blazers, boots, derbies) could easily fill that gap your speaking of.

>>9961550
100% agree with you. Especially now that a lot of rick is catering to a new consumer who wants to be a rick wearer without being a rick wearer (meaning astaires with a much less extreme drop crotch). Rick is great because you really can cover all your bases with his garments and if done right has such a great attitude. Strangely enough, I think Rick's suiting is my favorite aspect of his design

>>9961571

It's the very specific, very deliberate choices. The longer sleeve with the flare at the wrist. The height of the rear vents. The extra long tabs on the trousers. It's perfect suiting for guys who hate suiting.

>>9961571
When I first got into Rick his parkas and shoes were my focus, but as of lately his blazers have become more and more enticing to me. Especially this knife blazer from Gleam, the cut is amazing and its made even more fantastic by the fact that the coats and blazers were literally woven with metals that season.

>>9961605

The knits from Gleam are always on my must-have list.

>>9961620
Was that the season with the kangaroo pouch gillets?

>>9961605
Absolutely love Gleam. I really want to get my hands on those python boots(?) from that collection too.
