Who the fuck cares what a pleb thinks. it's only when they're trying hard is when you should be worried

[Anonymous No.6633176]

>>6633157
They do try hard though. They think Primark is high fashion, A&F to them is like Saint Laurent to us... Guys are bad too with the whole "swag" thing, but women have a sense of fashion superiority even though none of them know shit.

I was just in Melbourne with my (platonic) girl friend. Her thought process when buying clothes was "I like this, I'm going to buy it, then I'll check the price when I've left the store" she spent $600 on Saturday and $900 on Sunday, the food and other things on top of that.

I envy that she works full time.

This happened with my sister and me last week. I used to believe her when she said that she was a complete fashionista and all that bullshit before I got into fashion myself.

What? Where the fuck do you live?

[Anonymous No.6633734]

I have a lot of girl friends and many of them buy some clothes in primark and they look really good.
And none of them thinks thei are superioir in fashion because there are girls. They like to listen to me and follow my advices even though I dont dress myself very well. I dont know what you are constantly talking about, maybe that dumb kind is an american thing, but where I live I rarely have to rage at girls.

Women generally aren't interested in the 'function' of things in life as much as they are interested in the social aspect. So when they see a pair of these shoes being talked about a lot, they want to have a pair because its 'in'.

However, look at clothing hobbyists on Stylezeitgeist or Styleforum, or even /fa/ to a lesser extent. We look at shit from a perspective of fabric and fit and color to a much more technical degree. We approach the hobby as would approach something technical.

There are people on SF/SZ that can tell you in detail about the quality of leather depending on where it's sourced and how it's treated. There are people who can appreciate something like a Ten C field jacket made of knitted polyster/nylon. There are shoe enthusiasts on there who have literally invented better ways of taking care of shell cordovan because they love it so much. Look at the raw denim hobby, COMPLETELY dominated by men because its a clothing interest that's highly technical about the actual fabric of the clothing itself.

Then look at something like Purseforum. Look at how they just post their "cutesy" forever 21 + designer purse fits and how they throw overly positive advice at one another. They're on that forum to play a social game. They're there for the love of talking about clothing and feeling accepted for clothing.

The male-fashion forums are harsh and all about love of clothing. The types of clothes the more hardcore hobbyists are into don't really give a social advantage and most people won't give a shit in real life. It's enjoying the hobby for the hobby's sake.

Women just want to walk around and get complimented on their OMG QUIRKY SPACE LEGGINGS.

There's exceptions to all this shit of course, but it's just fucking annoying. I go to an art school and have literally met female fashion designers who think ann demeulemeester is a brand of beer.

If someone thinks that highly of Primark, what do they think lowly of?

[Anonymous No.6633787]

>>6633775
Men have to nitpick because women can wear every piece of clothing in existence. Men can really only wear shirts and pants.

>gf claims she's interested in fashion school
>i give her a talk about fashion industry is more than just wearing quirky space leggings and collar studded shirts, explain her without sounding mean that fashion isn't for her, try to give her advice blah blah

women think that fashion is nothing but dressing like lookbook sluts

[Anonymous No.6633813]

Women are different, you know. Some are interested in fashion, some are not, but all have to pretend they are. Of course some are shopping for cheap stuff. I would only buy cheap stuff if I wouldn't care about the shit I buy.

Just wondering, what do you think is so bad about Marc Jacobs? I'm not that unimpressed with him. The pricing is bad, but that's because plebs everywhere have picked up on it so he can get away with shoving them up.

However when you think about the actual stuff it's nothing I'd feel embarassed about wearing.

[Anonymous No.6634475]

>>6633795
I hate it. I hate girls all over my Facebook who are in fashion school. They don't even know fuckin' A.P.C. even though it's more mainstream stuff sold in Selfriges even. Or Ann D, which is UNACCEPTABLE you'd think she'd at least be mentioned at a FASHION ACADEMY. But nope, they just post up their shitty fits of disgusting jeans and yellow shirts from H&M to enter into fashion competitions and ask me to vote for them to win.

[Anonymous No.6634489]

>>6634440
His actual clothes aren't that bad, I just say Jacobs is a hack because he blatantly steals designs from other popular brands.

It was the best picture I could find, but a month or two ago Ssense had some MJ sneaks that look almost exactly the same as Achilles lows.
Also,

>same minimal aesthetic

To be fair CP soles aren't exclusive to CPs

[Anonymous No.6634570]

>>6634542
There's even a parody blog (at least I hope it's a parody blog) somewhere with tons of pictures of designs that he's stolen.
>>6634565
It isn't any one element, but all of them together. Hell, without the monogram I would just assume it was a coincidence.

[Anonymous No.6634575]

Why wouldn't you post the Marc Jacobs sneakers that are clearly a ripoff of CP achilles lows with just enough changed to make it not 1:1?

it would be an ale or lambic in fairly classic belgian style, with certain notes (the sourness, perhaps) emphasized to make a thoughtfully asymmetrical flavor.
it wouldn't be obscenely priced, but it would be just a little bit too expensive to session with.
