another idea was to exlude basic stuff like Acne, supreme etc to encourage good discussions, but of course a high price tag is no guarantee for smart costumers, take SLP for instance. Anyway, I need new documentaries to watch and books to read , can you recommend something that deals with fashion theory and certain designers?

i feel as though stuff like acne and apc are important for people who are beginning to appreciate higher tier clothes, obviously coming from mall brands

i cannot understand this hate for SLP. hedi is actually my favorite designer, margiela is the god for me, but i think dao and max of public school are the best out right now
anyway
SLP clothes are definitely priced ridiculously, but it makes sense
it's just these people, who come with all brands, really, that purchase for the label and do not know how to style the pieces at all

the little dictionary of fashion is good
the last documentary i watched was "the true cost"

i'm not near any of my books currently but if i get around to it, i'll post what i've read

a lot of what i know is from being and researching the hell out of a designer/company if i find just one collection i like
besides that, i'm currently attending a fashion school so there's that

[Anonymous No.10452897]

>>10452836
I don't think excluding Acne and Supreme is a good idea. I don't like that the majority of Supreme's designs can be found in a 90s thrift store, but looking at them in a vaccume the clothes are nice.

hate from Slp comes from the fact there is no innovation in his design. he is reproducing an outdated look that he has created in the past. in a sense he is no better than fast fashion. he is smart though because SLP is milking the shit out of this and their revenue is shooting through the roof.
there's also the fact he is doing jack shit to remember ysl and why people liked it in the first place. so he is a disgrace etc.......
apparently the quality price ratio is a fucking joke as well....

read this it explains everything well:

>another idea was to exlude basic stuff like Acne, supreme etc to encourage good discussions
That's just silly
The only reason the discussion on those threads here is usually awful is because the people who don't like the brands can't stand seeing the threads without mentioning how much they don't like the brand every time. And there it's not like everyone completely abandons everything slightly cheaper the second they get their first designer item. This season I have bought items from really every 'tier' of clothing and discussion here on all of those have helped me out.
The point is to make the entire place unappealing to the retards, 4chan kinda used to be like that but the stigma of this has worn down and now all types of people use this site and it has it's up and down sides.

The problem I have with Hedi is that it seems to me as there is nothing but "muh rockstar lifestyle" behind his designs, not much to think about. I like his silhouettes though and of course the actual quality is out of question (or at least the stuff I handled was) so I wouldn't say I hate him. Try to enlighten me ;)
How's fashion school? Do you think you will find a job in the industry? I'm looking forward to your book recommendations.

fashion student here (curentlly @ esmod), hedi is more of a stylist than a designer, nothing original or interesting ever comes from him, he just takes
existing looks and repacks them in the neat SLP way, while there is nothing wrong with that i m still against calling him a great designer, good? maybe, great? certainly not

[Anonymous No.10453003]

>>10452964
yeah the rockstar motif is what i was alluding to
but, in defense of hedi, the entire rockstar shtick is a runway thing
it's how he styles his clothes, which i don't alwayd agree with, honestly.

most of the flack on him is the pricing and "muh yves legacy" (see: >>10452929 )
which is fair to a point, he is designing under a legendary house, and ysl was a god, but to completely stick to the script is bad for fashion. a lot of hedi's stuff is a nod to ysl, though not as blatant as raf's dior nods. (read the yahoo style interview of hedi, it's a good read)

fashion school is definitely a lot more intensive than people give it credit for. though it is isnt engineering, med, or law, all fields i was actually considering, i've never been under more stress but holy shit i love it
for the job part, yeah i do think i will, i chose to major in apparel production management, so i'm learning all aspects from design to production to business

if you like production, i'd recommend it, if you're more of a design person, go to any of the new york ones, or even look international like central saint martins or antwerp royal academy
fashion is really labor intensive, not only do you have to be detail orientated but you presentation must be excellent, which sounds a lot easier than it is

spent a lot of time reconsidering my career path and decided on fashion school, as i'd rather risk it chasing a passion of mine
i'm definitely not artistic at all but they teach you everything you need, as >>10453038 said

it's a matter of you believing you have a career path in fashion and is worth taking the risk
this isnt engineering
there is no guarantee to be stable

sidebar : go on vogue uk's youtube and watch alexa chungs mini series on the industry
they speak on how many jobs there really are in the industry

imo, since i want to own my own business, i could have just gone to a great business school and hired people later on in life
but what i thought i knew before school was completely wrong and i am glad i made this decision

Yeah sure, I was considering design but at the same token I only have extremely rudementary skills as far as sewing/ actually making clothes goes. Im not 100% sure if that is the route I want to go. I know that I have always enjoyed selling things so maybe I would be more suited for something on that end of the fashion spectrum? Not working direct retail but more along the lines of distribution ect or dealing with clients and representing designers. Im just not sure what facet of the fashion monster I would fit into best. Im curious what you are doing in specific, how did you come to the conclusion you wanted to do what you are doing and do you ever question your decision? Thanks man, really appreciate your input.

quick question, I know rad and a few other brands/designers are known for unisex wear, but for brands like yohji, rick and comme des garcons, is it acceptable to wear women's garments from them? i see few cool articles for women that would be cool to wear.

not really referring to dresses or gowns btw.

yes there are tons of pieces that would be incredible to wear regardless of gender
the problem comes with the tailoring and the way the garment is cut for men and women is different but there are lots of pieces where it doesn;t matter too much, just have to get the measurements right ;^)

but at the same time a lot of those brands have pieces that push gender boundaries anyways (think the comme des garcon homme plus pleated skirts from 2009) so i mean theres plenty of "men's" clothing or "unisex" clothing that could fit what you're looking for

[Anonymous No.10453154]

>>10453109
had no clue how to sew
took me forever to figure it out but the teachers really help
and sewing gets easier the more you do it honestly
maybe you'd be a good buyer for a company
i chose my major because it had the least design and the most business
i didnt know what to do for the career part but as i'm finishing up my program i'm gearing more towards product development and global business development

idk if that answered your question

i decided on fashion school because i wanted to make money doing something i loved, instead of living a boring life behind a cubicle as an engineer

sometimes i definitely feel as though i made the wrong decision because it's scary not having a guaranteed career
but when it comes to menswear you can always just start your own shit

i actually finshed first year of mech ingeneering, and i decided to simply stop coz i hated it, i was great at using modelling software (NX all the way) so i dropped out of college and did that for a year, at a friend of mines firm, design has always been a passion of mine, i actually wanted to study arhitecture but my parents said that i wont make any money, so i was stupid enough to do engineering, well anyway i decided to apply to a fashion school, i live in a small country so its not a school you have heard of but it has produced some big players in the industry so that was encouraging, i got in with great results on the entree exams ( not sure if thats what you call it but you get the picture) did a year here and im now doing a student exchange at esmod, as i already said ill prolly transfer here since i like it a lot, im hoping to get an internship somwhere decent, dont really care what kind of clothing they make its basically just a launching platform, i hope to someday run an independend label.

Boucher F. 20,000 years of fashion. 1998
Obalk H. , Soral A. , Pasche A. les mouvements de mode. paris. 1984

woops forgot this jacket; nothing special but I can't wait to see what street stylists do with it

You're boring. You're just so plain, uninventive, and unoriginal. It's just the standard edgy oral sex metaphors. Fuck me, you must be fun at parties.

As a rule, do you prefer FW or SS, and why?

[Anonymous No.10457864]

>>10457686
FW because of more tailoring and knitwear also layering

[Anonymous No.10457868]

>>10457686
FW by far

Simply more material to work with. One of my main reasons to watch runway is for little detailing, layering, playing with visibility, and other fun expressions, but when you're literally working with way less fabric, a smaller canvas, there are harder limits for what can and can't be said by a piece. I'm a romantic about clothing, so I resonate much more with large, expressive, roomy fits. Scaling down, even when evoking a similar range of emotions and textures and so forth is simply not as engaging.

I really like spring summer, because I like shorts, and looser flower designs, with less layering. I like the more human stuff.

I'm a big Robert Geller fan.

Do you like the trend he's been taking with the drench fabrics? Or has he gotten out of that phase already...

Geller's A/W 15 was absolutely stunning. Not that guy, just wanted to let the world know Geller's a literal god.

Sorry, I was thinking of a very specific piece of clothing

I meant dip dye. He seems to have been really interested in color gradations in years past and I'm seeing less and less of it

[Anonymous No.10459097]

Moar?

[Anonymous No.10459515]

>>10458682
Oh yeah, I almost bought a dip-dye tee that he made except for that it was so fucking expensive. I'm not really bothered by him moving away from that if that's what you're asking. I'm not all that into the artistic expression aspect of fashion lines. I never really understood the deeper meanings, if there were any. I just think his stuff looks good, it's futuristic, and I'm a big fan of anything that seems futuristic of sci-fi.
