I've lived for a period of at least a year in:
Paris
London
Toronto

And while the last one maybe isn't a fashun capital, I've not seen CP's enough on the street to ever think they are over done. If anything, there are more patent leather cap toe Lanvin kicks out there.

Hell, I've see more Rick Owens on the street then I have CP.

>>8054585
They aren't any better in terms of quality, build, or any of that shit. Just think about it like this though, if you want CPs but are being cheap, then you should really just not be cheap and buy CPs.

Essentially, if you want CPs, get them. Don't buy something LIKE them, because they will never be CPs or give you dat satisfaction.

On a side note, the most comfortable dbag shoes I've ever worn are the MMM Gats, and I mean that seriously.

Creed was turned into a trollmeme here for awhile, so people stopped bringing it up because it was seen as trollbate.

This, paired with trollshits coming in and shitting up most fragrance threads transitioned the threads into brofesting.

I'd also never consider Creed niche, or very outstanding, and this is coming from someone with quite a bit of creed. My go to right now is either a Tauer or MDCI scent, although both are slightly over powering.

Hello friends

>> No.7286257 [View]

I've met a few anons and tripfafs from /fa/, both randomly on the street and at planned events.

There are a few people I see around regularly that I suspect post here, but I've never had them come up to me, so whatever.

Megabus doesn't have bays at the Ottawa bus terminal as Greyhound runs a monopoly on it.

>>7257295
Trustfund isn't bad, and there are a few shops on Sussex that can be decent.

The thing with Ottawa stores is you won't find a shop that has anywhere near 100% good items. They will typically be odd as fuck brandstock pairings like True Religion and Rag and Bone then Wings + Horn, its funny.

Reap & Sew is a pretty alright place, Schad is kinda filled with dickheads, but it sometimes has some solid stuff.

HR is still shit for the modern under 40 man.

The Bay isn't bad, and we have all the solid mall tier shops like AA, Banana Republic and that shit. For your plain grey crewnecks, this would likely be your best option. Or just try and find a grocery store peddling Joe Fresh and buy from them.

I was simply stating it is what it is as far as Rookie comes. I see people chalk it up to be a lot more then what it is, and I dislike that.

>>7241615
>ya dont know what you're talking about
It honestly just seems like you want to be connected to her, or imply that you are, as you drop all these little tidbits suggesting you are, or were.

The thing is, what defines her career is not the work she is working on today, it is what she was doing before. And that is the point I was making with my comments. Rookie isn't anything special, or significant, even inside the 16 year old girl world, she is still a niche within a niche.

It does have some big names writing for it every once in awhile, but I would attribute that more to Ira and the other people with the leashes than to Tavi.

>> No.7241519 [View]

>>7241245
Her fashion work is still what defines her, rookie has never been anything of note outside of groups of 16 year olds.

>>7241308
I feel like I am talking about a time before this point, and the initial success, while you are looking at later stuff. I am literally talking about her discovery, and how it has been a quite solid drop since.

>>7241398
And none of that work, has done anything for her outside of sustaining her at the level she fell too after her big bang in the fashion industry.

If you want to see a fall from grace, Tavi is a prime example. Rookie isn't that great at all, and Bebe Zeva is about as dull as Tavi has become, so her opinion is one that like >>7241454 pointed out, is likely seeded in jealousy rather than anything else.

>>7241454
>publication of good quality
>good quality
That is the only point in your post I disagree with. I don't think rookie is of good quality, it is adequate, and runs on trends it doesn't set, or publish first. It is rather dull, boring and un-nurtured.

In saying that, as a magazine run by some inexperienced girl, with a band of fellow inexperienced people, with a small group of people with experience guiding it, it has done well to produce adequately good work some times.

I just hope she eventually matures out of rookie and moves on to something better in the future, but I feel like her fall from grace with fashion will be mirrored in her life as a 'journalist' and 'editor', resulting in her ending up as a 20 something that used to do something interesting.

The main body of work that is still touted as her magnus opus is stuff she produced years ago. She hasn't really done much of note since, or much of interest since.

As far as the TED talk goes, you'd be surprised how easy it is to get a TED talk when you are a young person with opinions with a mainstream presence.

The issue that she never grew beyond her big break work is the one I was talking about. Not so much that she has done nothing since, just that most of the stuff she has done since is nothing interesting, relevant, or really looked at as her greatest stuff.

>>7241104
I am not suggesting everyone fell over for her, I am just saying it was a bit more then some tired intern and some fab internet kids. She had her champions out there, and they were names, and they did push her and try to bring her out. The issue is she never matured. If she would have matured, she wouldn't have the negativity you are talking about.

It was merely the fact that she turned into nothing that changed opinions. Again, this isn't saying she wasn't treated as a joke by possibly even the majority of the industry, but it wasn't some fleetingly minority of recent grads and internet fads that pushed her into 'stardom', there was much more of a machine behind her.

A lot of the cogs in that machine now try and distance themselves from her by mocking her now. I've found it funny on a first hand level with the shift in opinion I've seen in a few people within the industry.

>> No.7240975 [View]

>>7240920
I disagree with some of this as it is kinda suggesting her writing was shit. Her documentation of fashion week was fairly good for a young ass bish fresh outta the internet. It wasn't solid, it wasn't amazing, but it was interesting to see the possible start of what could have been some real talent. The issue is, as you said, she never really grew beyond that.

Her relevance in the industry was more than just a joke, she became that as time went on and she didn't mature the way they hoped, but at the start, there were a lot more than just interns and shitty internet fans hyped on her.

>>7240958
She was never known, or pushed as someone with good fits. It was her 'opinions' and 'writing skill' that were pushed.

They just seem really 'camera bag' to me. Which I dislike. The Crumplers are another bag company I'd suggest, even though stylistically I dislike them immensely.

All in all, what matters is you have a bag. Padding and shit doesn't matter as much as you might think. So just find a side bag or backpack you like, and use it. If you really want padding, then grab some inserts and turn that bag into a padded bag.

She blew onto the scene because of her commentary of new collections at such a young age, and then was accepted into the fashion world at the same time as Charles, it was as if the fashion world was looking for a few young geniuses to push around to showcase how inclusive the industry was.

She then took that platform to launch her own little magazine, which is when she actually started dressing ultra fucked tier, and started pushing tumblr trends like flower crowns through it with odd feminist shit that never made any sense.

Once that started happening, the fashion world kind of just let her go, and she hasn't really been a buzz word for quite some time. Her influence has hit rock bottom, and her hopeful start was wasted on a bunch of bullshit.

The rest of her stuff, like the Ted talk, was because she reached mainstream awareness a little bit because she was the cute odd girl with a deep seeded passion.

Her mainstream pull has fallen as well.

Now she just has her devotees following her shit, and she is likely to self destruct into a typical 20 year old eventually if she doesn't start doing interesting or useful work.

Get a Billingham. I love the fuck out of mine, the only thing I regret is the colour choice as I ended up with the khaki, which is more classic, but I feel like the black on black might have been a better choice for pairing up with fits.

That is, if it isn't a dry-clean-only piece.

If it is dry-clean-only, then dry-clean it.

It will only get ripped apart in the machine if it is already incredibly frail, or made out of some doily fabric that is structurally frail to begin with.

Otherwise, it was made in 1959 and is still around, so take that to heart when you wash it as It clearly has lasted for quite some time.

Hand washing is always an option though. Otherwise, wash on cold with the delicate cycle and everything should be fine.

It's more the friction that happens in the washer prior to the dryer that causes some of the fading to happen.

Fading happens due to wear patters, so whereever/whenever anything touches any part of your clothing, it has a fading effect on that area over time. So essentially with friction when you are wearing the clothing, and then the other big one is sun exposure. The two combined( Summertime) give you the best opportunity for fades.

You can never stop fading, you can only slow it down a bit with things like cold washes, hand washing, or being easy on your pants.

Buying quality garments also helps, as the cheaper stuff uses cheaper dyes, which are easier to lift off the clothing and quicker to fade as a result.

Before you start re-daying stuff all the time, just follow the advice in >>6834089 and handwash them. I can't be ass'd to hand wash anything, but if it matters to you that much, then go that route.

>> No.6834057 [View]

Woolite dark, or washing on cold cycles, or both.

Dry cleaning is actually pretty horrible for your clothing, it shouldn't be done at the same rate as a typical piece would get put through the wash.

Just cold water your shit, and you will be fine.

Everything will fade over time though. Cheaper items usually fade faster then better made pieces.

Just go to APC and get a pair of jeans from them.

Or, learn how to shop online.

>> No.6834024 [View]

They did.

Most tripfags aren't really the easiest to get ahold of. There are no PM systems, or ways to contact the common posters here, and there are very few people here interested in admitting they post here.

In other words, no one wants to be connected to 4chan, and no one wants to do a news story with a source from 4chan.

I agree with you and understand your point. I guess I just use this as my place to drop fashion feels, so I don't really care if anything comes back because of it.

Essentially, changing opinions or thoughts isn't what I care about. It is the discussions which allow me to learn more things, and shape my own that matter.

This isn't about missouri understanding #menswear, or them in 2 years dressing like Las or Noah while on a peacocking expedition in Italy. It is not about visibility for #menswear, or anything like that. It is about the mobility of fashion, and understanding how the industry works.

You take an apple pie made by grandma with all the fixings, then you break it down to its best ingredient and find a way to cook them that makes mass production possible. Then once that sells, the people down the change find a way to break that pie down while still retaining the flavor of it, they may even change the size, the shape, the list of ingredients, all of it. Then someone like McDonalds comes along, and shits out something sold in a rapper that looks more like a pita than a pie, but it is still based on that original pie your grandmother made.

What I am talking about is that process. It is the process of the trend setters, fashion designers are the pinnacle starting the waterfall that eventually reaches the masses. By the time it hits them, it may not be as discernible as it was at the top level, but it is still a derivative, and it still has its influences, and without those influences it likely wouldn't be there.

As far as common projects go, they are fantastic. I've never owned any boots from them, just runners. I have however handled a number of pairs of their boots, and from everything I've seen they are on pair with the quality of their shoes, which is pretty impressive. The shoes I have can take a beating and still look solid. I'd say go for it, but I'd also suggest you look at other companies in a similar price point first. Chiefly, some companies that are big boot names. CP makes good, solid, stuff. But over all, I'd say a pair of Vibergs, Aldens, Wolverines, or even Red Wings would likely be a better bet than a pair of CP's.

That may just be my brand based bias though.
