/fa/ - Fashion

[Anonymous No.6141689]

/fa/, i have a serious question regarding personal style.
i know there are a few dominant styles here, goof, dadcore, street, tech, fuccboi?
some blend, some dont.
anyways, have any of you, or how many of you, have considered or even executed to some degree of confidence a style of your own?
lets disregard the whole 'nothing is abstract or truly original' mantra for a moment, do you believe that designer is only beautiful because its 'now' or can a fashion-competent man really look good in a set of colour schemes and silhouettes that are unique (read: different relative to popularity)?

please dont get me wrong, im not talking about or to the tasteless or inexperienced just throwing shit together. i mean people who have a grasp on fit, designer, quality deciding what they think is 'next' and without regards to guessing a trend effectively, simply doing a good job anyways.
im going to go dare both myself and this board to be different. im going to attempt to shape something new
im not naive enough to believe this will go unheard, you like your shit too much, youre already staring down your next cop, i get it. but im bored. that and i had an Epiphany of what i think is next while biking home in the fog last november. im actually going to try it.

this board has a pretty insufficient rating from the waywts. people trying to amount to goth ninja on low budgets is never that impressive, why cant they just try something new? this boards in a rut and too afraid to move out of norm while preaching norm is next. still fucking live tech. i wwnt to incorporate tech into this new style.

Everybody here would rather try to gain each others (unqualified) approval than to try to come up with anything out of the status quo, or god forbid,

>unique

It's detrimental and childish. Rather than being fashion-forward and #nxtlvl--something that /fa/ likes to believe they advocate--, /fa/ would rather entrench themselves further into outdated mentalities.

tbh, there really isn't anything here other than gothninja, dadcore, streetwear, and their derivatives. If you're looking for solid sartorial advice, look elsewhere, anon. it'll do you better.

[Anonymous No.6142058]

>>6141859
but thats sad. is there really no one here who cares about fashion on a fashion board enough with enough experience to do something better? post in a wayw, confuse and maybe inspire?
knoch, who i know little about, was pretty impressive. not unique by the era the clothes he fashioned were either made/reproduced from, or the style which was military, something thats actually safe and timeless, but by the mentality he had to wear what he was genuinely interested in.

i honestly think a trend that's just begining to bloom is astronaut shit.
metalic fabrics. yes they were being done in 2006, theyve probably been done by runways every year since the 40s. thats not important. whats important is its recurring yet it hasnt blown up yet.
think about oblivion, shiny white shit, smooth surfaces, white/offwhite blueish grey leathers and slim tech shit. 'the host' movie, nonstop chrome vehicles, clean cut white clothing, emaculateness.
this year every designer has a painted metalic shoe, pant and shirt.
"the astronaut always wins" you know what commercial that is, dont you.
this is all coincidence? space is here to crush the gothninja. your niche is doomed to look like a bunch of unintelligible pagans.

cult has been around too long, deep space is darker and colder than candles and robes.

that concludes my speach

[Anonymous No.6142103]

>>6142058

a part of /fa/ deems gothninja as autist (you know the pastas), yet the style prevailed. Remember when goofninja was new here? I have a feeling that 'space-style' would have the same treatment and, if history would be any indication, would reach the same status as gothninja, bringing us back again to the same dilemma. You do make a great point though about the cult being around too long--I want me some Space Race: Part Deux, please. And don't worry, /fa/ will snap whatever their favorite designers will come up with; let's just hope they share the same vision as you.

[Anonymous No.6142112]

Finding your own style is kind of the first major goal in trying to become /fa/, other than starting to look presentable.
It's what naturally comes after trying to emulate what you see other people wearing, you start taking elements from different outfits and put things together in a way that you enjoy and feel good about.
Trying to forcefully create a new style sounds just as stupid as trying to create a new genre. These things evolve naturally and even if you don't think it, you're at the mercy of the designers.

im glad to see im not crazy.
and i agree completely, tech is part of this. maybe its a step, maybe its fortelling as tech and astro are inherently similar. theyre also both inherently dissimilar to goth even though gothninja has had an influence on the style. i want white and grey tech now.
i want to see some results people. i want us to introduce more space colours in the wayw.

i know this is a slow process but colours are the first thing to generate interest in a new style. fit and design will follow as designers compete and collab

/fa/, we have a chance to go next level, be the progenitors of tomorrows style. we didnt think of it or create it but i swear its coming, so lets pioneer it, maybe even shape it.

im very excited.

actually my idea for the style ive been thinking of isnt quite astronaut, it is space and tech essentially, but theres a third heavy element that im going to throw into it. hopefull if i do it right ill ride the astro trend while putting a small spin on it without diminishing the space style itself.

im going to do some work, look at some new pieces, and get back to some waywt. maybe youll spot me.

[Anonymous No.6142412]

yes, ofc. im not very interested in high fashion scenes, everything I wear is casual and quiet because I try to avoid attention, but I'll usually sill be exploring ideas and concepts, just subtly, and I've known people who do too. There are also many people who follow the scenes closely, they tend to have the most tasteless, conventional approaches. Fashion photographers are the worst. Personally, i think it's a matter of interdisciplinary exposure, fashion scenes tend to be very insular, only a basic interest in other artforms that is usually at best banal appropiation. Tokyo is the worst offender.

Anyway, you were thinking about astronauts, but I'm very excited by nike split soles, I want them to really blow up, I think they're very fleshy and futuristic in a Cronenberg way, but being on casual sneakers, they've the potential to become ubiquitous across cities, on kids and grandpas too, rather than just in fashion districts or on runways. I think they very much reflect the aesthetics of these past few years in terms of underground club music and NYC/Berlin's art world, I'd love to see them become iconic like the sneaker styles of the 90s.

I'm really excited to see more details and shapes lifted from things like this. Part of me has been waiting a very long time - there are a lot of beautiful things about pressure suits and high altitude gear. We just need a designer capable of executing it tastefully, hopefully minimally, with real-world purpose in mind.

There's also something to be said for certain scuba-diving rigs and up market tactical gear... But how to translate it to the civilian field without overdoing it or losing visual impact?

[Natalie No.6143461]

Nice to see where this thread has gone. I think a lot of space suits are very primitive in design however. They serve the very basic functions needed for our small number of trips into space.

When space travel and colonization become more common, I wonder how suits will look. You can visit moon boutiques and funds which suits you like. Because the physics and necessities of the moons environment, it's going to present fashion with an entirely new continentt of material to work with

theyre called space activity suits (specific model in these pics is mit's version, the "biosuit.") one of the important functions of the bulkiness u see in the traditional suits is protecting the human body from the vacuum of space; however, it turns out that the body CAN actually survive in that vacuum -- albeit w/ dramatic expansion due to decompression. the idea behind the SAS then is that the only thing u really need to do is limit that expansion (and provide oxygen/stable pressure environment for the ears and eyes which is why they still use the bubble helmet.)

in order 2 do so you have to exert constant pressure on every part of the bodys surface. obv this means that a) u have to create an almost-impossibly skintight suit through precise and custom tailoring and b) u have to make sure that no part of that suit ever becomes loose or stretched out from activity. there are a whole lot of diff labs working on these two probs right now -- when i was still working at portland state a lab in my building was working on a way of manufacturing fabric through nanotech n im p sure one of their express goals was creating a material for these suits specifically. just tried 2 google n see if they had a website but no luck :-(

n e way mit solved this problem by installing a series of elastic cords throughout their suit that exacts tension in specific areas so u dont end up w/ any air pockets. im assuming thats what the lines r but im not sure.

the question is of course y wud anyone go through all this trouble when there are only minimal marginal gains in function over the bulky suits??? i think thats where nats post about appearance of space suits n our obsession the glamorous retrofuturistic space travel comes into play

There's so much potential there, I can only wonder. The necessary hardware on a pressure suit brings a whole new purpose-driven aesthetic into play - it will probably 'justify' some really wild looks. Unfortunately, we'll probably all be dead or quite old by the time that rolls around.

>>6143480
It's got some advantages over traditional suits, I guess. But I hope we can do better, because the Buzz Lightyear thing is not adequate.

Best place to start would probably be searching keywords on Flickr. Use the keyword '228' in combination with 'sticker art' and the name of your city. 228 is the number of the USPS shipping label most commonly used by street artists, but I'm not sure how many people are still on that game as the USPS has shrank the hell out of their 228's.

Stencils are a tricky thing to get right at first, so consider heading straight into wheat paste - it's a hell of a lot of fun and a good way to get large works up with minimal effort. Remember, thin paper and whole wheat flour works best. Some artists throw a bit of clear acrylic medium into the mix to add weatherproofing.

Good large blank labels can be had from UPS, if you can cadge them off of a clerk or have friends working in a mail room.

>mfw this is your idea of authentic taste

it just works like this:
there are cool people, and they congregate somewhere because the rent is cheap. they turn the place cool, make cool things, sooner or later, they get too cool for their own good and second wave consumerist losers who want to ride their cool-coatails catch wind, maybe because a story got out or internet blog got too popular or "headhunters" exploited their style. So the artificial trendfollowers start moving in, with more money and more pretensions, poorly imitating the scene with no respect for the frist wave, making it uncool and expensive, forcing the real cool kids out to somewhere else, somewhere they'll eventually turn cool too.

this basic narrative applies to almost any subculture, including 4chan's. it's really just about avoiding/staying ahead of the culture industry, not being the leading forefront of it.

ive heard astrotech spacetech futuretech
too soon to settle on something?
(not a fan of future tech, doesnt designate space as an influence)

then you cannot create a style

or you'll have to put 'poor' in front of it

poor-astronaut core

no fits, no style tho

well my original style plans werent actually astronaut, its more like a subgenre of astronaut culture. i never really revealed it. i just needed/fa/s thoughts on space in general.
my original plans accommodate being poor very well. now this has come full circle.
the challenge now is to execute in a way that pronounces 'space' without heing drowned by the other element.
space poor astronaut? nice ripoff right there.

i still need $700 shoes tho.

I mean, the idea behind the styling is very much to replicate that "average" looking dude you recall seeing in all those photos from the golden days of the space program. As with any very stylized runway presentation, the clothes are different in person and on their own.

This might be of interest.

London bespoke tailor Sir Hardy Amies made the costumes for 2001: A Space Odyssey. Here is a video documenting the process + philosophy of doing the production design in 1968.

It's very interesting this thread pops up. Just yesterday I read a Popular Science article about next-gen deep space suits.

There are several companies that are producing them in collaboration with fashion designers.

Apparently Prometheus ripped a few companies designs and made a sort of collage. They'll supposedly look quite similar to pic related.

Here is the article.

Well if you want criticism I'll tell you that I have no confidence in your ability to pull off the style, it seems poorly thought out, ignorant of context and just generally tasteless. It bears almost no relevance to the contemporary world, I feel like you've just found some NASA pics from the 70s that look cool or the recent cycle of commercial scifi movies following the wake of Star Trek has caught your eye and you did a little more digging.
At least from what I can gather based on what you've said itt.
the shoes here >>6143731 are great and I doubt you've the conceptual capability to pull it off like that rather than some banal imitation of the idea of the future as sleek or white, taken from the dated designs and aesthetics who took more honest inspiration and fascination out of the context of their times
What I mean is, it seems like you're taking your idea of the future based on what people took as their idea 20 years ago because it's now become a ubiquitous, standard perspective in commercial media, rather than any contemporary concept of the future based on personal observation (ie imo Iris van Herpen).

And you're already trying to come up with name? Styles generally develop freely and independently by groups of individuals, disconnected or not, for some time before catching the interest of media who coin the terms to market easily, pigeon holing every individual into the single diluted aesthetic. You're trying to think of a name to brand yourself, and you haven't even got a single outfit down, what does that say about your concept's substance? What it says about you is blind confidence, a naive perspective. You're not going to get anywhere without any self-awareness.

But this was just for sake of criticism, on v limited info.

have to agree with anon here, let's at lesat assemble a mood board before we start pigeonholing ourselves.

I'm a school teacher so I think my style is influenced by this.

I also admire the preppy asthetic because that's the kind of girl I like to fuck.

I'm not avant-garde at all (apart from the occasional brightly coloured socks..) but I'm still very interested in the history of couture.

I like to think I have my own style in that I wear what I think looks good. But I do take a quite a bit of aesthetic inspiration from a lot of the stuff I see here and on blogs and shit.

But to be honest, if I told anyone I was into fashion, they'd probably be surprised since most of the stuff I do is fairly unadventurous.

[hardlystylin No.6153488]

>>6148993
criticism is good and i mean to offend you less than i feel offended, but i think you have me and my plans wrong. i never said what my style exactly is, i just made it clear that it was and although i said its space related, and i guessed at what style i thought would come on strong next. every reference you made to'it' was a shot in the dark. i never said exactly whst my influences were and when id originally thought of 'it', it was quite a while before id acknowledged recent space related media trend. not only that, but shiny white and sleek are miles away from my 'style'. which is why i mentioned that being unable to afford designer wouldnt limit my plans. its not my direction, neither is the trend. they only correlate because its a space/future theme.

as for naming this- whatever it is, that was simply for the sake of fun and creativity, as well as possibly labeling it so that threads could be accurately labeled. what it ends up being called by the market doesnt concern me. i wouldnt say im naive, but i dont aim to get anything out of this or claim anything for myself. im just excited about fashion for a change and i want to explore and have fun.
those shoes i posted are impressive to me, but they dont fit my idea, i just wanted to post some patent/metallic pieces.

id also like to make a point regarding what you said about what was conceived 20 years ago regarding space being ubiquitous now. the currently popular conceptualizations of futuristic contemporary space theme designs in rashion are only slightly less flawed than those created decades ago. the reason being that fashion needs to sell, being ubiquitous is a necessity, and in the attempt to associate a trend of future or space themes with a populous concerned with fashion means the introduction (the re-re-re... introduction) of shiny, clean, white pieces. the problem of course is that now design made to look futuristic is warped by the need to sell to a demographic that doesnt know what it should even be, and sooner than later the trend becomes another cliche reiteration of gloss.
now the second path is of course to not follow trend, but to actually create your own concepts. theres nothing wrong with that, except that it will be very abstract, and inaccurate to a degree based on your education and innovation. either way, it might be difficult for anyone to associate you with these themes unless you incorporate some ubiquitous elements.
however those elements dont need to be the glamourous designer items with mass appeal to avoid the cliche. they can be the calmer yet unique mainstays we see in sci-fi movies coupled with contemporary space textures and colours.

yes. its something smooth and tough yet uniquely sinister. cant put my finger on it but im actually jealous.
the worst thing for me is that i had a very low strange voice for one day after screaming as loud as i could when i was 17 on some amusement park ride.
i damaged something, but i felt it and it was great, wouldnt shut up.. it was chocolate rain low. i remember that because i tried singing it. i would actually pay thousands to have it surgically changed back.

anyways any sugested movies with him in it?
